Like the topic title says, I'm looking for a good online vendor for cases of AAM.

I'm in Holland, but I'm having the cases shipped to a friend of mine in the US; he'll send it to me as a gift (so I don't need to pay taxes and VAT), so I'm interested in the cheapest price including S&H to US, probably for 3 cases.

For D-Day I used Collect & save (good prices AND free shipping), but their prices have gone up so much even the free shipping doesn't cut it anymore :( .

Any suggestions for this? Where did you all buy your cases? And do you expect prices to drop or rise during the weeks after release?

Thanks :) !

CAS calls their prices, "scary". Isn't that the truth!! Try GameOutfitters. That's who I went with. IconUSA was at $99.99 a case but raised their prices to $108 I think.

Happy hunting!!

In holland you pay around 160 to 180 euro for a case.

That is at least 200 us dollars for a case :(

Either Game Outfitters or ICON, they're very close in price.

Cheapest case i seen around in EU, which including shipping was aprox 100£(Aprox 150 Euro/190$). Single boosters cost aprox 9 £ including shipping (For cheapest place i seen in EU).

In Denmark retail prices pr case would be aprox 22+$(booster price) #number cases, and possibly discout of 10% if u buy 10+. (not guaranteed u get a discount)..
So a case would be aprox *shiver* *Cough*

22$*12*0.9=237$ not including shipping..............................

Wonder who earns the extras there.

Problem even if your friend sends as gift, customs can still charge you vat&tax (atleast in Denmark) if send from outside EU, since total value of gift may not exceed (think aprox 67 euro).

Offcourse you can count on customs not checking your case............

We've ordered our case from GameOutfitters after looking around. It was $107.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I checked all of them, and then some more :) , and the best deal I found is the thewarstore site, $327 for 3 cases but only $3.95 S&H! And I'm awaiting the reply from some eBay sellers, which if I read their S&H arrangements right should give a slightly better deal.

Still, previously at C&S this would have been $300 - really too bad!

Then again, I don't get to play very often, so I might just wait and see whether prices drop (not sure whether the holiday season has any effect on this game).

Do a search for 'gathering ground'. they are out of st. louis and they are as good as anything out there for price. Good people too...

All of us here in Central California use Neal at the Warstore. Not only are his prices great, he and his family are a wonderful group of people. You are assured superior customer service with no deception or rip-offs; he is one of the most respected gaming vendors online in the United States.

Have fun with whomever you choose

I have to agree here. Check out both their prices and shipping to be sure.

I got my GO notice yesterday - 1st wave. That's exciting until you call the bank and your debit card has not had any "plastic meth" action. I hate waiting...

Got the same thing yesterday, too. But today I got an email with a UPS tracking number, so my case is on the way! :)

But it scheduled for delivery on Monday the 13th, so I have to wait ALL weekend! :(

I'm jealous - no UPS tracking number yet and I just checked 5 minutes ago. :rolleyes:

I'm like a kid when it comes to this stuff. :D

GO said I'm in the first wave, but no news yet. They seem to take about a week to get to the West coast. :(

I got my notice yesterday but there's no delivery date noted.

GO, I believe, is in Iowa. When I ordered Set I from the it came from the east coast. Strange. Maybe you'll get lucky PH.

Man, there's nothing like wishing your weekend away for your plastic meth fix.

I think collectandsave is trying to get out of that line. They've revamped their pages and its all sports stuff now, not to mention they went from the cheapest with free shipping to outrageous with free shipping.

I ordered from coolstuffinc since I had a bad experience with GO. I got my ups tracking number yesterday but it won't be delivered until the 14th. Just as well since I won't have time to open them until then anyway.
