Two questions then -
Why do they no longer display the MEG counts (you must have asked Shawn)?
Why are the English carts distributed by SUN Amusement when the Jap carts have Playmore on them?

You've got money Shawn... can't you bribe customs to hurry the hell up??!!</strong><hr></blockquote>

Lets just hope it comes Friday Morning lmao!! :D

My kof 2k2 mook should be here by then... probably wouldn't do my aes much good if I plugged it in the cart slot tho...

Why do they no longer display the MEG counts (you must have asked Shawn)?

I have asked with every release, going as far as creating detailed web pages describing what customers prefer with pictures and diagrams: requesting meg count and game logo on spine.

I assume the “NTSC only” is back again this year because they used the same KoF 2001 template for the insert design.

Also, you may have noticed with the insert design, there is a pattern forming.
Metal Slug 3 insert, is the poster.
Sengoku 3, the poster.
KoF 2001, the poster.
Metal Slug 4, the poster.
RotD, the poster.
And to no surprise, KoF 2002 insert, is the poster.

Why are the English carts distributed by SUN Amusement when the Jap carts have Playmore on them?

BrezzaSoft is no longer, SUN remains.

Shawn, I've paid $70 for the shipping from you-to-me, how long will that take do you think? (UK)

2 - 3 Days delivery time to UK for USPS Global Express Guaranteed Non-Document Service. I just hope UK customs does not question your expensive shipping method for a $10 second hand game. Perhaps I should leave out the purchase invoice.

Will you just be sending me an e-mail confirming the game got to you and the KOF 2002 is going out to me when you get KOF 2002 in stock?

A formal email was sent confirming your completed preorder. Another email will be sent containing your EMS tracking # the day of release.

Thanks for the info Shawn :)

So has Brezza been disbanded or did they go 'bump' after the debacle that was the crystal system?

Without wishing to be nosey, I was stumped to see Dave has spent $70 on shipping... is this because he's ordered just more than the cart, or is their some kind of super-premium, shit-hot, carrier service you offer that I don't know about?

Yeah, EMS takes about three working days. You'd really need to ship Thursday tho to ensure the carts arrived here in sunny England before Xmas day. Otherwise it's Monday 30/12 probably...

He selected USPS Global Express Guaranteed Non-Document Service during checkout. This is a service from DHL, very fast, comparable to FedEx International Priority in both price and speed. Most customers choose EMS though.

lol... it's not going to arrive any quicker than EMS then. Parcelforce usually deliver within 24hours so that only gives a lead time of 2 days from dispatch... what a waste of money <img src="graemlins/tickled.gif" border="0" alt="[Tickled]" />

Looks that way... I guess I won't buy from NCS again. I shouldn't have preordered from them after all. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

Laugh it up, fuzz-ball! <img src="graemlins/angry.gif" border="0" alt="[Angry]" />

LMAO!! Fuck. I expected fast-ass instant 12 hour shipping time at that price. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" />

I don't really care as long as I don't get my pants pulled down by the posty over the customs tax.

Yes, that would be a good idea, thanks Shawn. Can you confirm that you got the carts today?

Oh yeah, if I give you a $50 back-hander can you make Tarma wait for his cart? <img src="graemlins/tickled.gif" border="0" alt="[Tickled]" />

I expect a free $1 Neogeo fanclub pin-badge over the shipping debacle. LOL.

All he has right now is a quick note saying he got them.

But yes, I would like a pic of the package, etc. :)

Nope. ;) I cancelled my order from NCS (and video game depot, the place I was going to drive to today, already sold out) so I just placed an order with the Neo Store. :)
