They also make you buy stuff in a form of money thats looks like it was drawn by a 6 year old Belgian.

I also heard Starscream is female over there. Pft! Those crazy French.

Well, if you were smart you wouldn't buy TF's there, except maybe alt. ravage 2. If you really want something cool, pick up a buttload of Yamato Macross valkyries and sell them over here on ebay. I went to England a couple of years ago, and picked up a large chunk of them for a nice profit. If you MUST have TF's though, here's what you do. Go to the airline counter, change your destination from Paris to Tokyo, and off you go to the robot capital of the world. And not only that, they have geisha's, rather than nasty unshaven prostitutes hopped up on MDMA. Really a no-brainer there...

If this does not alienate the French Transfans, nothing will. :roll:

Tokyo isn't all that it's cracked up to be for the TF scene. If anythign they are beyond overpriced(I think it was almost $80 for a 6" Titanium over there in normal stores) Plus Stormrider just did a massive article on the area and found that it isn't what the fans think at all. I say stick to the US, they still get the best distribution.

We try.

I have a brother over there, he says there is little there that we havent got already, the only diffrence is the language of the packaging in some cases. Apparently, Spain is where to look, they are half the price.
