A friend of mine is going to Seoul in a week. Does anyone know good places to buy sealed products? How difficult would it be to bring back a case of the newest stuff?

A case is slightly over 7kg.....that's a lot of luggage space.For example, I came to USA with the clothes on my back, 3 pair of inner wear and 1 pair of sock. Even then, I reached the maximum of 48kg for luggage, 7kg handcarry, 2kg of clothes on my body when I was flying back, and had to mail 10kg of other stuff to stay within the weight limits. If your friend is going to shop a bit, he will hate your MTG cards lol

I so hope that was all magic, and if so and was Korean/Russian, I so envy you right now...be so much fun to open  As for topic, price should be about MSRP, maybe little more or less. __________________

Can you even go thru airports securities without paying fines if you buy a case?

I also would love to hear about that. I heard rumors a number of months ago that packs in Japan and Korea were significantly more expensive compared to getting English language packs in america. However, the other silly thing I have to wonder about is, as a fat guy that weighs about 100 kilos, what do they do to fat people at customs? Make them pay a fine for weighing over 67 kilos? ok ok ok -- enough trolling. Something there just does not add up on the weight factor, but I would think that if you were able to live on a United States military base in korea or japan, then you could send the case back home via an APO // FPO priority mail flat rate box.

If you have a legitimate reason to argue that the cases are for self-use.
I think the custom will not care about this. You are bringing 6 boxes of mtg, not 6 new iPads.
