The box arrived today... which was four business days (it was ordered while it was still Friday in America, but shipped on their Monday). It left Universal by FedEx and arrived at my house by TNT, so the fast shipping time and use of express couriers is why shipping was so expensive... but they didn't have any other shipping options (at least when I was ordering these).


As actual feedback on the items themselves - the two toys were put in a box that was smaller than the backing card for Snarl, so the card back was curved to fit. Fortunately for me, this one isn't staying in packaging, but at these "collector" prices, you wouldn't be too happy about them doing that if you were going to keep them sealed as collectable souvenirs.
