Can english people even buy an MP Megatron?

Toyzngames has him for £89.99 which is rather steep, n ebay is a no-no.

If they turn out to be too costly here I will just have to ask my uncle across the pond to send me one.

HLJ (Hobby Link Japan) has MP Megs for 52 pounds approx (Inc postage) and you can choose from a capped or non capped version.

Yeah thats a bit pricey, but then again i was willing to shell out £70 or £80 for an mp screamer so the little bit extra isnt really a big deal.

HLJ's deal is much more tempting however BUT what about if customs get their dirty hands on it? Buying it from a UK based seller is ok but anything from overseas is gonna get inspected by those bastards at customs.

Urgh, I know all about those customs jackasses, I preordered my encore prime and soundwave from HLJ in april and when it finaly got to england i got a letter saying that it had been seized for inspection and kept overnight without my notification.

customs charged a VAT of 10.00 and Parcelforce charged £15 for keeping it overnight so 2 figures that would have cost me £40 ended up costing me £75 including EMS speed post. Frikkin parcelforce would have charged me more to send by post but i decided to go to their office to ask why it had been seized so they got paid when they didn't even deliver anything

Makes me sick, why do i have to pay VAT for goods i buy overseas? i don't pay VAT in duty free shops abroad (like when i bough MP megs from singapore) and this is for me as a collector. Greedy swines

anyways guys, be weary when you buy from online stores abroad.

well i would certainly like to add a few more MPs to my collection, OPs is abit lonely atm, but something about paying £70+ for a TF seems a bit much, paying the £50 for OPs seemed a bit steep, but OPs is my favourite character so it was okay, but i just hate the idea of spending more than that...unless it was an MP Grimmy, who is my second fav character

Just seems to me there are better ways to spend £70+, especially for something that will sit on a shelf...but they are damn pretty though

get them all!

im waiting on sorting out my house things then getting back on tracik with skwarp and ill probably get he rerelease of starscream to

Hmm, I sent Hasbro a question the other day, regarding when/if we are likely to see a new wave of movie toys before Crimbo, and I just got a reply from them:

Thank you for your email.



We are delighted to hear of your interest in our Transformers products. Unfortunately we are unaware of any plans for more figures to be released in 2008.



Please contact us again should you require any further assistance.

ASK HASBRO

I think that it should say 2007, so it would appear that we're gonna have to wait 'til new year for the next batch.

Took 'em 2 days to reply to mine, so lets see if they can respond to yours quicker. Not as if they can blame it on a postal strike now is it.

Wait?! What? No classics 2.0?!?! When did this happen?!

Why don't one (or more?) of us get jobs at Hasbro? Then we'd take over, and make sure all our fellow TF fans get the figures they want, when they want! And of course free samples for us, just to make sure they transform properly

Gargh, a little while ago, someone found thar shipping list (or something like that) fer thar UK fer 08 and thar be no classics, I'll find thar link and post it in a minute fer ye

Aargh! Yes... Just to make sure that they transform properly... Yes... No other reason... Aargh! Wel, if me plan gos correct and I end up working fer IDW writing TF comics, then I'll partly be involved with Hasbro and I can work my way up to thar top and take it over! Bwahahahahahahahaha!

Yargh, just give the word Frimal, and the crew and I will be ready to board the ship known as 'Hasbro'

The scurvy dogs won't know what hit em, argh!

Don't know if any knows, if they have been sighted or if anyone cares, but I found Robot Replicas Megatron, Bumblebee and Barricade in FP and HMV today. £12.99 in FP, didn't check their price in HMV. It's a disgrace when they bring out non transforming figures just to make them look like the on screen counterparts accuratly.

I did see a rather nice little bust of G1 BB in FP.


Considering the design sketch of cl Octane, I wouldn't mind seeing that mould when it's done. Yes, I'm calling them classics, not universe.

As classics 2.0 aren't due out until next august I'm not too worried about them not being on shipping lists yet. Even Hasbro wouldn't screw up that bad. Right?

As for Disgruntlement - my damn boiler has sprung a leak - an attempted repair on it didn't work so I'm stuck in a repidly cooling flat bracing myself for the big bill for replacing it, waaah.

How can you get cold if you're a rat? You're covered in fur you dozy furball! (j/k)

Aargh! Um............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. This may take a while, let me get back to ye in a couple of days matie. Um................................................................................................................................

err isnt classics 2.0 actually called Universe? No surprise you couldnt find a listing for it...

Oh and my KO G1 Devs finally arrived...very cool, had to unscrew the head to get it to go into postition, but no probs after that, seems very stable in combiner mode, though i wouldnt handle it too roughly...will probably get a set of repro stickers coz the chinese ones are ****...ok now to get a Superion or Defensor KO to go with it

we better be getting classics 2.0 or primus help me ill go all crazy on them!

youll be surprised how many times you could mail your poop to a company till they arrest you............

Not actually going to tell us how many times it's happened to you then DARKAGEIS?

My KO Mini-Defonsor arfrived as di denergon Downshift today - the KO is brittle but will display nicely when the stickers are sorted (very bad stickers!). Downshift though is a lovely. Where's my Classics Grimlock I ordered before both of them mind (and Downshift came from America!)!
