That would make a lot of sense. It could even happen tomorrow at their press conference, maximum media exposure if it is announced at an event for journalists.

I assume the shipping fee specified under each reward is universal.

Perhaps you should ask YSnet directly : [email protected]

i asked them 3 days ago nut unitl now now answer if they ship from im afraid that i will have a lot cusmom fees

[Yokosuka]

I used my own Kickstarter account to ask them your question.

From the articles I read, YSnet has normally to pay the extra fees and you don't need to pay more than 20 dollars.

[Yokosuka]

You should get this answer from now :

Thank you very much for your message and your support.

We were recently contacted by someone from Greece with the same question,
I will give you the same answer here.

I'm afraid that Shipping specifics are currently not yet available, however, we understand your situation, and more importantly, Fangamer, who will be handling the rewards fulfillment, understands your situation. They are experienced in dealing with European customers like yourself, and have ensured us they will do all that they can to keep costs down, because taxes are such a concern.

When we more details about the rewards fulfillment, an announcement will be made in the Updates on the project page, so please check back regularly.

Best Regards,

Oscar &
the Shenmue 3 Team

Oh wow, so Fangamer are totally in charge of production and distribution of rewards?

Least that puts worries about Awesome Japan fucking that up to bed.

I appreciate your daily increase updates yokosuka.
Seems that pre-sales are slowing down again.
We have gathered about 220.000$ in the paypal campain so far. Guess it's not all that bad as long as the money is really going into producing a better game. I kind of worry that this extra money is just going into higher salaries and team dinners.


I think they really should close down the campaign a couple of days after the magic monaco event.
