the only problem - it's in France! 
**for sh*ts and giggles I looked up the currency rate (1,050.00ish).

I want a Canada Dry, semi rare GTB EM where all were sent to France.. and same problem 
I used to have a buddy in Germany who shipped pins to me reasonably, but he moved home to the states 
Quoted from Spybryon:Looks good! How much would it be to ship it back to US?
He'd probably have about $1000 for the air freight, and roughly $120 for the customs broker's fees. It's been several months since my last European import, but the prices are probably still pretty close.
That's not a bad total for a Spirit, IMHO. As hard as these are to find, it might be worth going for it.
My brother and his wife are having their honeymoon in France... maybe I can persuade them to haul it back! 
I've talked to a couple of Spirit owners in the past on how they obtained theirs. Some did go the import route and some through collectors. What sucks is this pin is hardly ever for sale in the states. If one does pop up - they usually want an arm and a leg!
I keep hearing how these can be had for under 2k from people out there. Maybe I don't have the connections or what not, but I would LOVE to have the option to buy it at that price! It also seems like there is a *waiting* list for people in one of the local collectors finds one.
It would be a great day when I can finally scratch this pin of my WTB list and not spend an outragious amount doing so!
Quoted from Dr_Gonzo:My buddy had his shipped from Norway I think it was. Somewhere over there. I'm glad he did, I love Spirit. Its about the only way to get one.
Ha! That must be Basil? Is there a pin out there this guy doesn't own?
I swear every pin on my want list is in Basil's collection!

Heh, you nailed it. He's got some great games. I played his Warlock recently, its awesome! I had never played it.I blame him for all these obscure games I like.
