I'm not a European but I too won't be able to buy it locally come November 21 (I'm an Aussie). I'm tossing up whether to import at the moment, I was originally going to but the launch lineup hasn't really impressed me that much.
If I end up doing it I will probably go through Liksang.
I'm using the convenience of an early US/JP release to watch how it sells and determine how and when I am going to acquire one. It will likely be from a UK website such as Amazon, probably a few months after it is released here. I'm not interested in early adoption purely because I'll have no one to play with since no one else will have one yet. Pretty pointless.
