See my email response from EB
Thank you for using the EBgames.com Online Customer Service Center.

Question: Subject: Civilization III
Message : ent-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I am living in Copenhagen, Denmark, and I am wondering if you at
EBgames are going to ship the computergame Civilization III Limited Edition Tin outside the USA, because I have pre-ordered the game two months ago from Amazon.com and they now say that they will not ship the game outside the USA. I am going to cancel my order with these bastards, and now I ask, if you are going to sell the game to people here in Europe? Then I will place my order at your fine store.
Thank you for your help.

That link is to the standard edition, although they do have a page for LE that does not mention any shipping restrictions. Good luck to you! When I tried to create an account, UK was not an option in the 'country' drop-down presumably because www.eb.uk.com exists - although of course that does not list the LE! AAAAARGH!

I feel sorry for you too; it is really so frustrating. If I am not going to have the LE then I will boycott the game - eh, just kidding!
It is so stupid and unfair that the people outside of the USA have almost no chances to get the LE, I really can´t understand why it has to be so... But soon the game will be easy to buy in SE but I want the LE now!

Reading La Russo's post, I'm surprised some enterprising American Apolytoner hasn't set up a business ordering the game for desperate Eurocoms - hell, I would have, for a small fee of $5 per game...

Perhaps if EUII comes out significantly earlier in Europe than America, it might be worth a shot....
