I actually think this is pretty cool. I was introduced to Thunderbirds when it was redubbed and put on TV in the 90s. The show was a lot more popular in non-US markets, I think.

TBH - the theme lends itself to a pinball machine. Missions = modes. Each Thunderbird 1-5 is a shot. Make The Hood a shot. It has a lot of potential.

WRT his reasoning about chargebacks on the website - there are other ways to receive payment via PayPal.

To Mike:

I dunno. I just think your choice is a complete bummer for the few in the USA who would want one, and would be willing to work through the hassles (I've sold a pin to NZ, and another item to AUS, so I'm kinda familiar with the hassles around doing a transaction like this). Some people from the USA would enjoy a Thunderbirds pinball machine. Genuinely. I collected all the toys when I was a kid.

You can force your PayPal buyers to send money via a different mechanism other than one that allows chargebacks. Not sure how that would work tax-wise.
