Wow, apparently I joined this site almost 2 and a half years ago...this is odd.
Anyways, hello all! British by birth, Bolivian by location and toy collector by choice ![]() Collecting for me isn't as easy as most of you, as there aren't a lot of toy shops here and the few that exist here carry old stock at expensive prices. Example - we've just started getting Transformers Animated here and a deluxe can set you back about $30 on a good day. So I do most of my collecting on holiday to the US or the UK, or when people come to visit me I get 'em to bring me stuff. My poor parents are bringing me over a boxed G1 transformer and some Scout Troopers in 2 weeks. Looking forward to seeing you on the boards! ![]() |

Thanks! Yes it is indeed, with all of the sound effects it's like having the Battle of Hoth on demand

![]() ![]() Actually, it's the reason I started buying Star Wars figures again (mostly Vintage). I wanted it to be properly staffed. But now I have a dilemma: who should ride the speeder bike? A Snowtrooper or a Scout trooper? Quote:

Looking forward to seeing you on the boards! ![]() Who knows, maybe you can strike up a deal or two with some members in our Marketplace forums. Check them out, if you're interested.

I do have quite a list of stuff I'm looking for, especially as I'm looking to put together a combined arms battalion, so I will be keeping an eye on the Marketplace. Also, Doofenschmirz Evil Incorporated forever. |

Howdy!
I don't think you're missing out not living in the UK - at least you know you're not going to see any new product on the shelves! I tend to buy most of my stuff on BBTS as you can preorder stuff without paying in advance. Gotta get in quick with some pre-orders though.
