JetfireUK, I had a chat with that guy and he says you shouldn't have any problems. He's not holding any for 'em at the moment so it would be imported when shipped, but he's had a load shipped to him in the past without any problems at all.

They also mark the cost down on the customs form, to help avoid any nasty surprises from customs in way of charges! (Although I'm sure a single Megs would be under any limits anyway.)

JFUK! It's been a while my friend!

Xybertoys always come through on these kinda things, and I just regard em as a UK-based seller. They don't charge shipping and go out of their way to ensure your package escapes customs unscathed.

They're well worth your cash

Thanks for all your help chaps - I'll have a review of the site and see what happens! :D

It's also nice to see a few familar faces!

I'm starting my 4th collection - G1, MP and BT but it's great to find figures I've previously had again. Gawd bless the plastic crack!

Hey,

I posted this in the toys forum but not sure if everybody saw it so I'll post again. I got an email from Kapow Toys with their latest sale items. Here they are:

Transformers Animated 2 Pack Blackarachnia and Earth Mode Optimus £19.99 Now
£14.99
Transformers Animated Blazing Lockdown £12.95 Now £9.99
Transformers Animated Deluxe Oilslick £9.99 Now £6.99

Transformers Animated Skywarp £24.99 Now £19.99

Transformers Animated Voyager Lugnut £19.99 Now £14.99

Transformers Animated Voyager Megatron £19.99 Now £12.99

Transformers Animated Voyager Optimus Prime £19.99 Now £14.99
Transformers Binaltech BT-20 Meister £24.99 Now £21.99

Transformers Classics Jetfire and Grimlock 2 Pack £37.99 Now £27.99

Transformers Music label Convoy G1 Colours! £79.99 Now £59.99

I also submitted this as news well before the current headlines. Why to the news crew always delay in posting news about UK sale items? I have seen a couple of items come up in the news after the sale has finished.

Because in all honesty they don't care about European headlines. We're a niche group around these parts.

Which is a crying shame, considering Kapow is a far better store than the mud huts that are currently "sponsors".

Big news from our brothers over at tfw2005 UK sightings! Universe Hound, Cyclonus and Dinobot have been sighted at Argos!

As such we have yet to obtain visual evidence, but I'll try to confirm this on Saturday when I make a run into Hull city centre.



Hurrah! =D

I'm making a run to my local Argos to check. There are 5 in stock so fingers crossed.

well looks like the botcon sets a animated one, i may consider purchasing it though, even just to sell on

i'm reli hoping theres a mix of universe and animated molds

but from this:

Kupp
Thunderclash
FLak
Landshark
Scourge

looks pretty bad, maybe i should steer clear altogether, as animated is pretty crappy

do we get to see pics of the set before botcon itself?

That really depends on whether or not any of the figures get stolen between now and then I think.

I wasn't going near Animated until the Mrs brought Soundwave home the other day. The next day I found the Legends three pack in Argos for £4.39 and now I'm hooked. They are way more impressive than pictures make them look and now I'm gonna be broke again. Give Animated a chance!
