BIG BIG Purchase from USA.
« on: December 10, 2009, 09:50:44 AM »
I just bought this to put inside my house. I always wanted one, being a Star Trek fan.
It will look good next to my 4 x Star Trek Pins. I dont believe they were ever exported to Australia.
Should be lots of fun.

In answer to a few of the questions.

A- When does it arrive ? Peter, it shld be here within the next 4 to 6 weeks. Seafreight Insured etc.

B- Costs to Import/Purchase ? Wotto, the shipping cost is apx a grand.$1,000. Palleted at apx 300 kilograms, Insured etc, bug sprayed wood etc incl customs etc.
The purchase price shall remain confidential out of respect to the seller for whom i am doing more business with. After it arrives, I will disclose the pricing.
But, I will say, that if i told u now, u would not believe me.The USA economy aint great. But it was extremely attractive to say the least.

C- Does it come apart ? Leon, yes it does. Since u live 2 mins up the road, u will be one of the first aussies to play with 7 of 9, ummm, i mean the game !
and yes, the NCC prefix is the rego number of the Voyager Starship, so to speak.

D- And yes Extra Ball, 7 of 9 is hard to look at. In no way did she make the purchase easier ( i definately just told a fib). lol

E- I will take photos and videos when it turns up, provided pirates dont take my new toy away.
It is insured etc.Any purchase of these type/s of items from overseas (USA) have their typical risks, but, as i like to say, "no guts, no glory".lol.

I saw one of these 2 years ago, but missed out on it. Then this one came up. I jumped on it. I do not mind admitting, I am a real real bad Star Trek Voyager Fan.
I espescially like Janeway. No mucking around with her personality. I can relate to her straight forward character.
Anyways,  cross ya fingers, all goes well. Thanks.   ^^^  ^^^
