@EddCoates Would love to get it but WOW shipping it to Portugal plus duty costs almost as much as the book alone. Yikes

@EddCoates Hi, unfortunately this is just what things are costing to ship now, particularly heavy items like books. We don't scrape anything off the top when we ship items, but it's definitely something we're investigating behind the scenes!

@EddCoates EDD, buddy, my eternal twink brother, I'm not on marketing team anymore so have not been involved in the launch but HUGE CONGRATS on this officially launching, ahhhh. Legit cannot wait to finally get my hands on and read this!!

@EddCoates why regress back to a book? its ironic you choose this medium to talk about video games, which are digital

@EddCoates Regress!?! Oh this is anything *but* a regression!!

@EddCoates by definition, to go *from* digital to analogue is a regression

@EddCoates bruh what

@EddCoates OMG Edd!!! LFG 🔥 That's an instant buy

@EddCoates Immediately preordered what a TREAT

@EddCoates Ordered! Can't wait

@EddCoates Congratsc it looks fantastic

@EddCoates Thank you!! We're really REALLY excited about this one <3

@EddCoates What an absolute banger

@EddCoates this is godly!

@EddCoates French trad soon ?

@EddCoates is it worth paying 100€ for this? 🫩

@EddCoates We'll we're biased but we say YES (P.S. we don't scrape anything off the top when we ship items, but lowering shipping costs is definitely something we're investigating behind the scenes!)

@EddCoates Please do! This was definitely one of the rare moments where i saw an AD and immediately went to the shop to check it out, but i cant really justify paying over a 100€ for a book sadly

No worries, we get it! Always something less fun about shipping stuff worldwide, but we're on the case 🔍
