Well, somebody won the lottery. I didn't, so it's gotta be you! It just has to be you. Please tell us you did.

I won the Lotto a few months ago
I won €4.00

Sadly not mate. We tried!
I eventually went with E3 cause E1 and E2 are fairly similar to the Manta artworks, and although E3 is the same as the Manta steel I'm interested to see what this new technique is for the slip 
Question is; is E3 worth the almost $10 extra before shipping than Manta's offering? 
I'm most interested in the Steelbook and slips themselves but I do find the following comparison to be in Manta's favour... 
Manta ($41.99/930 CZK/£32.75)
36p booklet
5x character cards
4x postcards + envelope
Numbered sticker + Exclusive release front sticker + Lenticular sticker
FAC E3 ($45/999 CZK/£35) (Via Karel's GB: $51.5/1141 CZK/£40)
36p booklet
9x puzzle cards
8x poster Stickers
Numbered card + numbered sticker
...I like Manta's SB the best but have since warmed to FA's now knowing the treatment it will receive (special bossing etc). I really like FA's slip for E3 including the back artwork and am interested in this new '3D treatment' they speak of plus the puzzle cards look cool. Not fussed about 'poster stickers' though. I used to be a real fan of FA but would strongly side with Manta nowadays as 1) I like what they're doing and commend their commitment to quality over quantity and 2) the way they treat their customers with respect
Maybe I'll just have to get both if I simply cannot decide

I feel your pain. However, I don't want to double dip so I need to just pick one. Haha.
When not sure what edition to get
1) Toss a coin to decide
2) Buy one edition from each retailer
3) If your loaded with cash buy all of them

I've come to a conclusion and finally decided!
...I'm still 100% undecided 
Why you do dis? Haha

Haha. Yup, same here though I almost decided on FAC but couldn't click the button.
they ship worldwide. Cost for single issue is probably quite a bit but for box would be more reasonable
They do ship internationally, yes, with a few exceptions I believe. Shipping can be very high depending on what part of the world you're in. Our European Ninjas don't have to worry so much. For me, in the US, the cost of shipping is nearly the same as the cost of the item, even without having to pay VAT.
My recommendation is buy more than one release at a time if you're set on buying direct to offset the potentially high shipping costs. But the best way is to buy from Karel's GBs here on HDN. You'll save the most money that way. And he does an awesome job with packing your stuff safely.
