a fellow LYN forummer (you know who you are

) has requested for me to purchase him the new released, assassin creed 2, PC platform (white version)
i have no idea it was even out and he was obviously seeking the special edition (comes with the figurine, map, additional missions and weirdly enough, made in australia?

). oh as you can see from the picture, it is massive in size!
Nok, I am a little baffled. Hope you can clear my mind.
Aren't you on the way back to OZ? That being the case, you are buying it now to keep until your trip trip back here??? If so, it clears some questions but why buy now and not when you are next scheduled to be back here which I believe will not be for quite sometime, right? Afraid of stock running out?
Sorry, but was just wondering.

erm i'm already in melbourne and will not be back until much later (hence for the upcoming, forth generation iPhone purchases have to be couriered through a "runner" as stipulated by =Hanxz=)

however for this particular item, the buyer opted for postage instead.
but you will be surprised, that a lot of malaysians actually fly to melbourne and KL (other malaysian cities included) very regularly, albeit it is not the tertiary holiday session yet.
just open your mouth and you will surprised on you can easily find someone who is flying back soon. it all depends on how thick your skin is because it might your friend's friend's friend and the list goes on
heck, i actually know someone who is going back mid-april without even picking the phone up.
however i hate the thought of hassling someone if i can avoid it and hence i have never used my 'favour' so far. lucky for the 3GS buyers, they could arrange their own mode of transit; i just had to line up (something i was already doing), fork out the cash upfront and meet up with the 'courier' thereafter.
