They don't. We have our own Hasbrotoyshop with .co.uk at the end instead of .com, and afaik they only sell stuff we can buy over here (but it doesn't get updated very often)

The UK Hasbro site sucks...really really bad. It confuses me as to why they force a redirect there.

fair enough, hey, idea, lets buy stuff and get it shipped to Tans uncle :wink:

Skylinx came out today, and im gonna buy him next week woot!!!

Still waiting for kup though grrrr at you xyber toys, im really not impressed

I prefer Big Bad Toy Store. Even without free shipping it is only marginally more expensive than Xybertoys.

My Japanese Classics order on BBTS comes to £113, whereas on Xyber it comes to £103. Saving a tenner, big whoop. :roll:

I will stick with BBTS because they have proven themselves most dependable.

Yeh i was just thinkin about Xybertoys the other day and how slow they were, but they are in singapore me thinks, i got a parcel today you see but i missed it so i gotta collect it tomorow, i so hope its my Alt Skids.

And the other day i won Classics optimus Prime for £13.49 as a buy now, it was such a lucky find i was over the moon, as its rrp is £19.99 and the price on ebay is a bit stepper, jus wonderin whether to open him or not when i get him.

Alt skids is defo stayin in the box though.

But neways be patient Xybertoys are jus a bit slow thats all

isnt BBTS in america though?

News Credits: 8 · Thu Feb 21, 2008 3:53 pm

I think it is, but the only reason why i havent ordered off them is that it doesnt look like they accept paypal and that they haveny clearly marked the delivery rates over seas (that i can see)

You can pay by paypal. And yes they are in America, but they are a first class company IMO, albeit a little pricey but no more than Xybertoys. Shipping is expensive, ($40 per EMS parcel) but it is only slightly more in the end than Xybertoys' free shipping when ordering in bulk.

For small orders it's going to be more expensive though.

i was just going over the price, its a friggin rip off, $30 for Eject!!!!!!! are some of them second hand too???

oooo Pot, tip-toe carefully around Ironhide. My first faverest tf evar! :wink:

I still prefer xybertoys to BBTS. I don't like supporting arrogant yanks at all.

Singapore is fine. Sure, it'll take a few weeks (anyone know how many exactly?) to get here, but I'm far more happy to support an industrially expanding country than I am a self-proclaimed super power.

Xybertoys says 7-12 days, but my Hybrid optimus prime took 8 days and my Alt Skids took also 8 days (yet to collect him from post office).

But note that they send you an email from when they have dispatched it and that tends to be at least a day after you have ordered or so

but so far so gud :grin:

Thu Feb 21, 2008 4:14 pm

im guessing my order has come from japan first, plus they aint selling him anymore, so looks like i got the last one. I deffo aint paying BBTS prices though Tekka. still wish xyber would give an estimate though. Oh well jazz is out in 2 weeks too

We get the Universe line in Autumn rite? when do the yanks get them? because hopefully xybertoys will get them in stock bout that time, and there are some figures i cant wait to get

Thu Feb 21, 2008 4:25 pm

i dont think there is an actual release date for them yet. Btw MB, sorry about Ironhide, i like him in the comics etc, i just cant stand him in the tv, especially with that damn stupid red neck accent

Bbbbbbut he's a rootin tootin cowboy! :-(

I've never had to fortune to see his comic appearance

I don't think there's a set date yet, just a lot of talk about Autumn.

I thort the americans get Universe before us?

I luv Ironhide, they should hurry up and make decent classic's homages of him and ratchet

News Credits: 6 · Fri Feb 22, 2008 11:37 am

I hope so too. He needs some love.

Usually we do, yes. But the amount of lag is unpredictable, so I won't be putting down a UK date until I'm sure.

Fri Feb 22, 2008 11:55 am

i think ironhide should have a new alt form for classics. A bin wagon!!!! Both full of trash hehehe (man that was lame

)

News Credits: 2 · Fri Feb 22, 2008 12:16 pm

That was lame. I can not think of a single redeeming factor for that joke. :shock:

Fri Feb 22, 2008 12:22 pm

maybe the fact i only made one joke, and it died with the end of the post lol. Shush, im tired

Just ordered stormbringer and vol 2 spotlights. my lil brother pre ordered sky lynx apparantly, im gonna see if i can rob it lol

Fri Feb 22, 2008 3:41 pm

the top of my list is masterpiece prime, megs and SS or SW probably the us starscream repaint if its been sold there

i'm a sucker for g1 repaints

and maybe some RID figures and some classics along with any TF movie figures i haven't got

TF fans get out your wallets and your shopping bags

and raid the dealers stalls

anyway i wanna get at least one masterpiece figure because masterpiece magetron looks really good but i'd be afiar to transformer him cause i here he breaks easily because of that little pin in his waist....
