This may be an obvious comment, but you've tried the web and especially Ebay? Lots of folks from the UK on there selling stuff. Is there also a UK Ebay? What about UK retailers selling on the web.
Good luck!

Re: Need help from the UK
Agree with Rick, probably quite a few places that will ship it to you. If that fails, I hate to volunteer him, but Smart Wombat would probably know what you're looking for!
Re: Need help from the UK
Thanks, but I tried that route already. With customs a retail store cannot send it to the UK directly and nobody on Ebay is selling yet. Trying to recruit some people at work who work overseas. I thought of Smart Wombat, but I don't want to impose on anybody.
It's just a game, but man I am hooked!!

Yeah, it took me years to get over my Tetris addiction.

I'm guessing that's a typo - should be "from the UK"? I bought a book a few years ago from a UK online retailer that wasn't available here in the 'States. Other than the shipping price, it wasn't any different than dealing with Amazon (took forever, just like them too :) ). Wish I remember what the place was... It was a large seller like the UK version of Barnes & Noble I think. In any case, this must be a different case. Good luck!
Re: Need help from the UK
Probably a typo, but still true, the US customs inspect outgoing packages too.
As well as incoming. They give more attention to incoming, I believe.
It's a requirement to fill in a CN22 contents/value declaration form.
Which also acts as a good indicator to thieves if you're dumb enough to put "Diamond necklace" on the package :)
