Obviously I have spoken and thanked Sam personally for this but I thought it about time that I post up what he managed to sort out for me. Sam has been an amazing guy throughout this transaction and I cannot recommend dealing with him enough... thanks again mate.
So after many trips to the shop for me and a handful of crafty pics, I ended up purchasing all the Special HuCards (and a cheeky copy of Magical Chase) enabling Sam to buy himself a nice new toy. Between us we had some great help from Opethian as an intermediary and my best friend in Tokyo as an address to post to, so thanks to them too.
Then a few weeks back when my mate returned home for some family issues, he brought back with him all of the Engine goodness he has been looking after for me for a month or so...
Thanks again Sam.
