That's a result then. The only slight issue you might have is sometimes the C&E will pick up on it and won't let you have it until you have paid the tax. Happened to me on Yoshi I got, £300 was then £300 plus £60 tax

If you can find someone in the states to get it and then ship as birthday gift then you're laughing!
Which dealer did you get it from in the end, just so we know what one will ship to the UK.
