That said, it's not hard to make your own or have someone make some
for you. That's how we got a shogi set when we couldn't find one! :D

This is all very interesting. I like Monopoly & Life.

If I play some music swedish can you tell me if the pronuciation is correct? This is classical, so it could be hard to stomach. :D

Thanks Enk. I'll try ordering from Samtimer. I'd ordered English tiles from the UK Mattel and Finland's Mattel office but I'm still waiting for them ...and I placed the order in 2004 :roll:

Well this is what I went with. Shipping may cost me a fortune or they wont get it until Spring (which might not be all bad :D )

This is not the exact set, they also had these special walkie talkies that have headsets [/url] http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page= ... =13898[url]

I am pretty excited, I think they will like this. Thank you for all of you suggestions.

They got it

We I have to say I am impressed with the postal service! They received the package that I sent by surface mail. I can hardly believe it. It took 11 days to get there from the US. It's suppose to take 4-6 weeks!

Merry Christmas! I know the boys will love the gift.
