U.S.-based reader Sandy recently contacted us with a quandary: s/he (sorry, Sandy, we weren't sure!) is desperately attempting to track down a new copy of Billiard Action. Unfortunately, there appears to be one major obstacle: the game is only available in the UK and Europe, and Sandy is struggling to find anywhere that will send European games to the States. Ebay is one obvious answer, we suppose, but it has its downsides. Can any of our fantastically wise readers help out?Incidentally, we feel Sandy's pain here -- it doesn't happen often, but occasionally a Europe-only release will be cruelly out of our grasp. Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is one recent example of this, and Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat? will become another, when it launches tomorrow.
For the rest of you, where do you import your DS gear and games from? We all know about the likes of Play-Asia and NCSX, and as excellent as they are, are there any smaller sites you feel are just as worth buying from?

I'm in the Netherlands, and mostly buy my games from http://www.estarland.com/
I've also heard that http://www.renchi.com/ is good for Asian imports, though I haven't tried them yet.

Hah, it's first time in my life when I hear of importing 'anything' from EU to US (I thought such thing will never happen) :D
I see the problem is solved already, so - happy snookering!

I think it's more a problem of "no store has it". There are many games, so restricted in public, that no store wants to make room to display, or even keep it.
