Hi, It is such annoying that these sde releases doesn’t get a wider distribution in continental Europe. The postal fees from uk are in the end, a pretty big budget !
Indeed, shipping costs from England are significant. In addition, it is virtually impossible to combine orders for multiple titles because the sales periods do not often overlap.
