You should have told us.  I would have paid you to bring some extras home. 

Thought about grabbing a bunch of extras for you guys - I just didn't have any extra luggage room. I guess I could have tried to mail a bunch home. I wasn't sure how well received they would be. I wasn't super impressed with the set.

I love Olympic mascots, so at least I would have bought it.  lol  That's okay, next time.

The mascots have been reduced by 46% at this Brazilian Toy  chain. Sadly after using google translate it appears they only deliver goods within Brazil...unless anyone on here is lucky enough to have a Brazillian contact who will forward them on.

My offer of coordinating a group buy still exists.  I'll be point person, and coordinate with whomever can get these in Brazil.  You send the entire package to me, and I'll distribute to those that want to buy in.

If we find somebody in Brazil to buy and ship to you- Count me in please.

Not really sure if I'm supposed to like this or not. Please don't get me started on him. I've kinda cooled off a bit.

[Alpinemaps]

This would a lot easier if I could find a reverse freight forwarder.

I might be able to help. My GF is from Brazil. Let me see what I can do, see what the buying limits are, etc.

I could ask the friend who brought my 3 back to the states. If it is just them receiving the stock, and then re-addressing and mailing on pretty sure it would work if we're not talking hundreds of them.
