--- Quote ---Changes to Hong Kong mail regulations may cause delayed shipments
Recently the Hong Kong Post announced that all items shipping by air are now subject to x-ray screening for regulated materials. This additional screening may cause delayed shipment due to no fault of the seller, so if you purchased an item from a seller in Hong Kong, please allow extra time for delivery—at least a week more than the seller’s stated delivery time.
Also note that items containing the regulated materials are being returned to sellers and not delivered. These items may include:
Items with lithium batteries such as video cameras, walkie talkies/2-way radios, GPS devices, radio-controlled toys, Bluetooth headsets, smartphones/mobiles, laptop computers, shavers, power drills, tablets and portable DVD players
Liquid beauty products, including fragrances, colognes, lotions, and toner
Items with “eliquids” such as electronic cigarettes and lighters

Last time my purchases were in the US in 3 days. (sat in customs for a few days after)
Yea, they haven't left china yet. This may take a while.
One of the orders was lithium coin cell batteries. Hope they make it threw. -_-

Not a video game at all, but I bought a Rutles LP for $11
If you are a fan of the Beatles, I suggest checking them out, it's a great parody that captures the spirit of the Beatles well. George was even in the movie!
