hav just thrown caution to the wind and pre-ordered MP grimlock from Xybertoys, and all for the handsome sum of £99.90!

Blooming eck, thats nearly £250 xybertoys have made of 2 of us on here today!!!!!

oh no pp, i got mine from ebay, but i am looking to buy henkei hound, ironhide,ratchet and cyclonus off them soon

tbh, i think the £99.90 that xybertoys is asking is reasonable (i did buy MP Magnus for £90 from Fp a few years back). Plus the fact that normally i would have gone to BBTS and spent that on the figure alone (they charge harshly on shipping) , and then have to pay customs on it, I'm happy with my decision!

ouch!

yep, the fact i only paid £250 for a mint version made it easier to digest though.

He is a heavy b'stard though!!
How much over the actual postage cost was that? (Mine didn't come from overseas, so I've no idea what sort of cost is involved)

Even for Brave Max, I think that much p&p would make me vomit with rage =O

I was pondering preordering MP Grimmy from Xybertoys just. £90 is a fair bit for a single toy (my most expensive has always been MP Prime), but then I think that it does included no-hassle shipping- which in my mind is about £15-£20....

News Credits: 5 · by **Sledge** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 7:31 pm

Hmm, £100 with shipping ain't bad. Still not sure quite how much I want MP Grimlock, though.

Alt Shockwave is one of my favorite Alts, so that's one to look forward to. Only problem is a tendency for his arms to pop out of his sockets when transforming. RID Prime is one of my all time favorite Primes.

Tesco have got TFA Leaders and Voyagers at half price. Picked up Grimlock and Leader Bulkhead. Pretty happy with both, given the price I paid. Don't think I would have bought either at full price. The hole in Grimlock's dino mode chest is off-putting, and Leader figures are never worth full price.
