Wooo.... was thinking of checking out the costs of ordering games via Thoughhammer myself. It wasn't as cheap as I though it would be. Shipping costs is a killer. It can be anything from 35% of games cost to 70% for some games. Also did some checking up on Paradigm Infinitum at Mid-point Orchard. The price range of games from the appears very reasonable after some comparison. There is a limit to troubling people versus paying extra through shipping. Came to the conclusion that the best way is to fly to US and buy back myself la... hahaha
Plan A) When I fly to London in May, order games on the 1st day there and bring back the games on the way back home! Figure that shipping charges from US to London is a lot cheaper than from US to Singapore. Also, look out for games shops in London and Europe and see if I can get some good deals.
Plan B) When my sister flies over to US for some work-related stuff and is there for a month in August... get her to order games over there and bring them back for me. Less ashamed to get my sister for help. hehe.
No choice... figure that I'm broke yet I'm a game addict. Going to channel all my comic book funds to my games collection from now onwards. As the Chinese saying goes: "Du Le Le Bu Ru Zong Le Le". How many reading will understand such simple Chinese? hehehe
