As usual, we will be at Crisis 2012<\/a> at the new venue<\/a> on the dockside in Antwerp and, as always, welcome any orders you may have for collection at the show (e-mail<\/a> us if you’d like to place an order). If the order is worth 50\u20ac or more then we’ll give you 10% off as well.<\/p>\n

We should have the odd new release or two; we’re hoping that the Belgian Civilians<\/a> will find their way to us from New Zealand in time, and we’re working on getting others ready – watch out for details of these.<\/p>\n

Now I have a rather odd favour to ask any European customers who are going to the show and can help me out; I would like to get hold of some 1-cent euro coins – quite a lot, about 500, or 5\u20ac worth. Is there anyone who could get to a bank somewhere in the euro-zone and get some for me ? I’ll happily pay in advance if needed (via PayPal) or I can give you a crisp 5\u20ac note on the day (and there’ll be a free model or two in it for you as well …). E-mail me<\/a> if you’re prepared to get strange looks at the local bank when you ask for a fistfull of small coins, and I’ll be eternally grateful !<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong> – my euro-coin problem is solved, thanks very much to Patrick for offering to sort this for me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
