Imported lots of dvds from Canada,UK,Germany,Japan,Korea and other places.
Bought a huge stack of reader copy condition 2000 A.D. comics. Oddly they came from New Zealand.
Like 10 years ago a huge stash of late era Atari 2600 games showed up,still sealed,in Venezuela. So got stuff like Ikari Warriors for maybe 5 bucks. Instead of the 50 bucks they sold for in the states.
2 years ago for my father's birthday got him a kangaroo skin hat. Came from Australia. Took a month to get her.

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? I do, but with the Network I just keep them boxed up, they're still nice to have though.

I ordered a skirt from China for a Halloween costume once because it was the only thing that looked close to what I needed. I had to carefully research size differences between American and China and order it a few sizes larger than I normally would because all of their clothes are sized a lot smaller than ours. It fit just right, thankfully.

The baseball glove I used from my playing days was ordered from the Netherlands, since it had the only online store with good baseball equipment in the EU at the time.

Quite a few things in recent years. For example: my favorite rock band is an obscure British pagan goth rock band, and I ordered an autographed copy of one of their most recent albums online, shipped from the UK.
Also, for a birthday present last year, my boyfriend got me a monthly shipping of Japanese candy, sent from Japan every month and containing fruit snacks, chocolate, and other goodies normally sold only in that country.

Do mail-order Russian brides count? I’m impressed that it wasn’t until the second page that someone made that joke. I was going to say porn, at least according to the search parameters I put in. I have.........specific tastes.

And since I’ve made this thread they’ve long re-released Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires on Blu-ray. But it’s nowhere near a good enough film to justify double dipping.

A few limited run games from USA, but import tax and weak pound makes that too pricey to do outside a few select titles. Back in the DS days there was a brief period it was a lot cheaper and quicker to order from America and never got hit by customs with that company. Me too! Wanted to ensure I had access to TxK and portable Spelunky as long as possible so got one I could hack to use with a microsd card. Still haven't actually used it though. Bought a few other things from play asia.

Wine and posters mostly. I've never tried getting anything bigger or too expensive, though I really would love to order some movie memorabilia some day.

The Last Jedi, Solo, and Rise Of Skywalker (preorder) on 3D Blu-ray from Amazon.co.uk, since there was no 3D release in the US. Got the U.K. version of the Alfred Hitchcock Blu-ray collection for a much better price than the US. I’ve ordered quite a few times from Amazon in the U.K., generally CDs, DVDs,/Blu-rays, and vinyl records. It used to be you wouldn’t get a tracking number from them but now they provide them. Never had a problem.

Lets see... Mostly stuff from Japan I suppose. I've gotten Godzilla Tapes and Laserdiscs from there. Also have a bunch of anime laser discs. Some CDs. Ebay was useful for getting animation cels and light novels from sellers in Japan too. Also got a bunch of SNES games from Japan (Namely the Tenchi Muyo game) since all you had to do to get them to work was cut some tabs out of the system to get the cart to slide in. Other games include some sega saturn games and a lot of PS1 games cause me and a bud took the time to sodder on a mod so we could play Japanese games on it. The standouts for that are probably the Pretty Sami games and "Godzilla Trading Card Battle" which was fun... Oh and a Gamera Rail shooter that is oddly entertaining.
I've also gotten stuff from Britain off ebay, but I can't for the life of me remember what they were. I also got some DVDs from Australia.
I too, like some of the people in this thread, wish or want to collect movie memorabilia. I have a bunch of Godzilla/Gamera stuff but I wish I could collect cool posters... But every time I looked at those sweet foreign movie posters I remember that I don't have the wall space for them anyways.
