Thank you for organizing this! How much would the shipping fee be to Ireland? Also, up until when are you accepting orders? Cheers!

For Ireland, shipping would be £6 for one game and £8.50 for both. I'll be accepting orders right up until release, or until/if they sell out.

$65 for the game, steel case and pre-order figure? Man, my local store is asking the same for *just* the game, lol. I think they'll be seeing a cancelled pre-order soon >__> Especially if the games are only locked via PAL/NTSC guidelines. :D Are the little figures guaranteed to be included? I'm concerned if they'll get a limited supply of them, is all.
Thanks for offering a middleman service for these! What would the total w/commission + shipping be to get Alpha Sapphire to Australia?

Yep, the figures are definitely included. With the Nintendo UK Store it's more of an inclusive bundle than a limited pre-order bonus.

£39.99 (game) + £3.99 (10% commission) + £10 (shipping) + £2.11 (PP fees) for a total of £56.09 to Australia!

Thanks heaps for the quote! I'll get back to you within the week; I need to check my store's cancellation policy & what the exchange rates and such might be in October. :D Just to clarify - if/when I state I'd like to commit, will you be placing the order immediately after that?

Yup, no problem! :)

If you commit to one, then yeah I'll be placing the order within the next few days I would think.

If you're taking payment through Paypal, be very careful to check their exchange rate, not Xe.com or a national website. Paypal give a worse $ to £ rate and you can lose £1-2 a payment for this sort of transaction if you're not careful. It is not the case of just the Paypal fee, you have to factor in their crummy exchange rate.

Yes, I know! I used xe.com just to get a rough estimate for this post so people can get an idea of the general exchange rate, but I'll let people know when they pay about the best way to go about it so we both lose the least money. :) Thank you for your concern though!

Do you know if the steelbook comes separately or replaces the regular case for the game? I've seen limited editions do it both ways.

Awesome, thank you! I need to work out if I can afford it, but that makes me much more likely to purchase them :D

As stated before I am committed to both games =)

Excellent! I'll put you down. :D Which country will I be shipping to?

Australia. Just wondering, on the spreadsheet you've put me down for the 10% fee, but in your comment before in the other post: http://pkmncollectors.livejournal.com/17930024.html?thread=578033192#t578033192 you stated that I was exempt from that?

Oh shoot! I'm really tired and it just slipped my mind as I was doing the spreadsheet, I'll fix that now! I'm very sorry.
