Thank you for the reply and let me emit a sign of relief. The way the
conversation was running it sounded like I would have to ship the things
from Germany, the cost of which would ruin the point. And while some people
have said there are better pirate ships to rerelease, I'm glad to have any.
I'll let someone else order the Radio Control Racer.
