This could be an alternative for all of us, however we'll have to wait for the first hands-on experiences before we get too over-exited.
Also, please don't forget that the Ukraine is not part of the EU and thus you'll have to pay import-VAT if you're unlucky which can easily bring the price up quite a bit since it's 19% now in Germany. Of course it's possible that LVD and friends will send these out declared as costing 0€ (or something similar) and then you'd get past that hurdle unscathed...I know it worked with the STAReBOOK from Chna, it got through without problems declared as 0$ and I never paid any import VAT or toll fees...but of course in that case it was legal to do it that way since I did not pay for the STAReBOOK either...
