Europe's answer to ThinkGeek

Finally!

Over the past year or so, since when I decided to actually sign up for a ThinkGeek account instead of just drooling over the product pages, I've been, yes, drooling over the product pages and filling a wishlist full of items which amounts to at least $927.04¢ USD. Which is currently about half that in GBP.

Then, added to the dodginess of importing it from the US (and with some items not even being legally shippable outside the States) added to the taxes added at government-level, plus the extra shipping costs added at merchant-level, it's not really ideal unless you have a friend in the States who'll take care of your order and send it on to you as a Gift (apparently this makes it easier to get through customs, or cheaper, or something like that).

Enter one Nerdorama. The ThinkGeek of the EU. It's based in Dutchland (which is what I always call 'Holland' when I can't remember that things that are Dutch come from Holland) and due to one thing and another, you pay no extra taxes (except of course the murderous VAT) on your order.

The site was recently Slashdotted, so I guess it's been initiated into the world of Geek acception.

I'll add the equivalent items from ThinkGeek to my Nerdorama wishlist/basket, and let you know how I get on price-wise.
