Finally broke down and got the Hammer Films 21 disc box set. It’s region 2, but I can play it on my laptop. They released it over 10 years ago and figured at some point they’d come out with a region 1 version. Nope. Also, got the German DVD of Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires. They did release that one in the US, but I didn’t buy it back then and now it’s out of print and going for $50+. I think the German release may be out of print too since I had to buy it from a private seller and it costs me more than it was worth. But I have all the other Christopher Lee Hammer Dracula Films and am a completist so figured I’d get it. There is also a Spanish release that is still in print and is the most reasonably priced one, but they won’t ship to the US

I used to eat a lot more ramien/instant noodle dishes for lunch at work. I'd find myself ordering boxes of mixed random flavors/styles from a couple different companies in Japan and South Korea. The more confused I was trying to figure out what the flavor could possibly be, the more intrigued I was to try it. Had a lot of fun doing that.
The one flavor I'll never forget was called something that roughly translated to "Prawn Cracker with Happy Heart". Its also how I discovered my most favorite noodle flavor: Shrimp Tom Yum. Man that's been like 6 or 7 years. I should do that again.

I used to order Japanese Kit Kats and Doritos online, but I would order them from importers who already brought them in from Japan, so I technically didn't order them from another country, I ordered them from a guy who ordered them from another country.
I once ordered some kind of fancy peanut butter from Europe, but it was so long ago that I can't remember the name of the brand or even the country I ordered it from (I think it was either Belgium or Netherlands).

I live in Japan and I have had the hardest time importing toys and stuff from the US. When the Legacy Power Morpher from Power Rangers was released a few years ago, I couldn't get one to save my life. Literally nobody on eBay or elsewhere would ship the thing to me. Eventually, I had to make a deal with somebody on Rangerboard to trade for a metric ton of recent Sentai stuff.
Thankfully, that has gotten a bit better in recent years. These days, I mostly import consumables. Hot sauces, snacks, the occasional 3D Blu-Rays (since they're WAY cheaper in the US and often come out on BR before they hit theaters here).
But even still, I usually have to ask friends in the whatever country to sell me stuff, since online retailers seem to have weird restrictions on stuff. Though Amazon has gotten WAY better recently.

I definitely got a couple WWF Hasbros for my growing collection from....somewhere in South America, I can't remember if it was Argentina or Brazil offhand.

Ordered stuff from the States a few times.
Have had to pay an extra £40 in the past because Bloody Customs decided to hold my purchases at ransom.

I bought a ton of gashapon Metal Gear Solid 4 dogtags for some reason about 10 years ago. More lately it's those insanely spicy Samyang Korean ramen noodles. Excellent flavor, but a surefire stomachache.

Like 32 sets of WWE Tagged Classics. Dude, I didn't know you were still around! Anyway, that's actually awesome. Do you have a region-free DVD player? Anyway, to answer the question, I will list some CDs that I bought from another country. - Brooke Valentine - "Chain Letter"
- Ak'sent - "International"
- Ak'sent - "Gem-In-I"
- The DEY - "The DEY Has Come"
- Road Dawgs - "Don't Be Saprize"
- DOA: Dead or Alive soundtrack
- Danny Boy advance CD
- So Plush advance CD
- Big Time Rush - "Elevate"
Also, I think in the past, I had gotten the limited edition of Fort Minor's "The Rising Tied" from another country. At the time, I could have sworn that I had gotten it from an American seller, but when it came in the mail, it appeared that it had been sent from either Germany or the Netherlands. Another thing: I got a couple of the CD's that are listed because it seemed that copies from outside of the country had extra tracks.

I’ve ordered assorted things from Canada, Japan, England, Portugal and Mexico. I’ve never had a problem with any of the sellers. The only people that ever sent me damaged or delayed items were from the US. I prefer international sellers because of that but the shipping can be expensive sometimes.
