Apologies if this has been asked before, but I'm a UK-based TF collector, trying to get ALL the UK and US movie toys.

The downside is that I live in a crummy little town called Braintree, in Essex. The only shops that sell toys here are Woolworths (which is fine if you want a hundred Recon Barricades) or Tesco.

So are there any good UK-based online retailers people can reccommend? Play.com are great (retail prices, no postage charges) but they don't exactly have the biggest choice. Xybertoys have hardly any movie toys at all, and as for Epic Heroes - well, besides the fact that they're incredibly expensive, my MP Megatron I ordered from them was delayed by over three months.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Glasgow's Woolworths is chock full of them too! And movie legends Megatrons...

toyzandgamez.com is okay; they're not exactly cheap and they have a habit of being out of stock of a lot of items, but they have a good selection of TFs from all eras, and the postage costs are very decent, plus you can pre-order toys that aren't out yet.

I've used http://www.toyzandgames.com quite a bit. They're based in Norwich and postage is very quick. Sometimes they charge a little above the high street price but that tends to be only on early imports. They also do lots of Target exclusives at a reasonable price. Most of the time they are quite reasonable and they do get stock in before the high street and lots of things that never appear in Woolworths or Tesco at all.

hope this helps,
