As it has already shown in another some people seem to be interested in getting the US retail box as it contents 1,05 Mio creds while the EU only has 50K. Problem is that i.E. over Amazon you always have to pay about 15-20 $ shipping and even some taxes.
After searching hours and hours in the internet i finally found a shop that sends you the code within 15 minutes. Staff is also friendly and helpful.

Can you really use them on the EU server?
You indeed can, but the price is to high... Bought the Eu version with 2000 gold (200 more then the US version) for 8 Euros a piece. I personally dont care for the credits at all... Its 2 hours of average gameplay with a premium tank...
19.99 USD is 16 Euro (bad exchange rate these days)... +3.90 Euro and you have 5000 gold instead of 1800 lol...

I thought I read a while back about a guy who tried that and failed...
As far as getting the US box goes - check amazon. I bought a few there several months ago.

That depends on the perspective. It costs 20 $, around 16 EUR. When you buy 1 Mio of silver ingame you have to pay around 3000 gold. You get another 1800 and the garage (300) and the T2LT (costs 500? dunno). 5500 gold cost 20 EUR, so imho its ok.

But amazon charges you some 18$ for shipping and 10$ import fee.

Import fees and with some bad luck also taxes add to the price. I pay from UK amazon 4 pounds postage and from US nearly 10 USD... Its just not rentable now to buy it due to very limited availability. Was lucky enough that a friend bought mine directly in London for 8 Euros a piece.

Depends of perspective, but 1 Mil of silver is made withing few hours tops... Who the hell would ever exchange 1kk for 3000 gold lol... Garage slot is 200 but also not rly an issue at all and to mention a small useless tank... As said for just 4 Euro more you can have 5500 gold for which you could buy the garage slot a better premium tank and still would have left gold for one moth of premium... That 20 USD for the code is definitely not worth it.

I will add that to this thread as Markee Code (the GBP/EUR price is calculated via a Google Financial currency exchange from the Markee 19.99 USD price).
But as said - expensive unless you want the credits as the spreadsheets show.
PS - I thought the US retail codes did not work on EU server?
Someone say if it is or becomes possible/not possible - or any other offers or somesuch that relates to this/that thread - please.

Well it was just an information, nobody is forced to buy it.
I agree with you that I also would never exchange gold for creds but some people might do that. Everyones own decision. Btw garage never was 200. Always 300 and 150 when reduced.

I think that buying gold is better option. With 10€ you can get tie5 premium and a garage spot for it. and a 1milion credits is not that much, I wouldn't buy this but it's up to you.

Well, I tried it out 10 min ago and I have 1050K creds more now so I would say it works. ;-)
And yes I have an EU account.

Okay.
Was really referring to the other/my thread, but confirmation is nice.
As I am only likely to spend any more money on WoT if the British appear it will probably be a while before I could test it (and I do not really need so many credits)....

I got mine from amazon (UK) about 2 weeks ago.
http://forum.worldof...il-box-problem/
I was promised (and wanted) the UK one but it was the US one when it arrived.

Bummer - but still better than the WARNING US server only (I think) Amazon.com Game Connect packages (except the free one!). WARNING US server only (I think).
