I decided to create this thread so that we euros can keep track of when the traps start arriving at our doorsteps.

I ordered mine within the first 10 minutes, I got a shipping confirmation two days later (19th). I am estimating a 3 weeks' waiting. By November 10th I'll be haunting my mail box...

I hope that it doesn't take 88 days like one of the 12" figure took.

I know some of the other guys in the uk ghostbusters have got theirs, I had mine order in 5 mins and shipping confirmation the next morning but still waiting on mine!

We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Stay Puft's okay! He's a sailor, he's in New York; we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!

No custom fees, great

, that's lucky.

My trap hasn't arrived yet although two 6" Rays that were shipped separately on the 21st (two days after the trap was shipped) arrived today. I think the trap is probably in customs and I will have to pay importing fees. Lets wait and see.

Mine arrived today, 23 days enroute, no shipping charges. And... it's great. (It was well worth waiting 17 years for this.Thank you Matty.)

Lisboa on Friday, at least one trap had also arrived in Germany a few days back I believe; this probably means I can expect it tomorrow or Tuesday. It had better arrive this week or I'll become very impatient!

How much, if I may be so bold?

Also curious. I don't know what determines if there will be customs fees or not. My trap box was opened, it had the inspection tape sealing it. But still I did not pay any fees.

Same story here. Also inspection tape, but I did have have to pay a customs fee. €30.35!!! (to answer your question, my friend) Madness! What makes one European country different from another? What's the bloody use of the Schengen agreement if they do charge customs fee for a product in one member country of the EU and they don't in another country (e.g. Portugal) for the same bleedin' product! Then again, @BH-7060, Norway is not a Schengen country, is it?

The trap's pretty nifty, though! Works fine too! No issues!

Hi Cornelius, I wonder the same thing. I heard not all packs are opened, it's a random thing. But if mine was open I don't know why I didn't pay for it and you did. I've had to pay for 12" figures but never for 6" ones.

The trap's great! Yesterday it seemed to me that the ghost-in-trap-trying-to-get-out effects never seem to repeat in exactly the same pattern, another nice touch.
