Jimmyo, you said on another thread - somewhere *else* - that you pre-ordered from BBTS - don't you get stung for duty on those orders?

I pre-order my stuff BBTS and yes, you get majorly stung for duty! From my experience, UPS seems to be slightly less than USPS for combined shipping/import tax.

It's just so damn convenient!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Yep, Sometimes things get through though. Even if I take into account the taxes shipping and cost of the items it still works out less than buying them at £30 per 3 pack so £90 for all three, (or £75 after tax and shipping on import)

You should only pay tax on the items, any duty levied on shipping should be reclaimed or you refuse to pay it

Liverpool Disney Store has the Quinjet at £16 and the Helicarrier at £34. If I hadn't just spent £149 in the Lego store, I may have been tempted. :D

Great Haul there JB, I really like that Moon Knight figure his little accessories are cool

My Baghead shipped from Star today and my Prof and Blastaar's arrived from them a few days ago, we are so happy to have new MU lol.

Just knowing baghead is finally on his way and at retail cost is fantastic as I was getting twitchy as I had one on order at FP since June.

Jackieboy 01-02-2013 04:35 PM
Hope you and your family had a nice christmas,Jimmyo.
finally a baghead to call my own :) my spidey collection is at last complete.and believe me bro,you and scarlett will love that figure when he arrives,next up on my "gotta have em all" list >>>> Vision.

Jimmyo 01-02-2013 04:46 PM
Haha we had a great Xmas, Yeah solid Vision is bugging me.

He really is the only figure I dont have now. I could get one easily but I just don't see the value in him when the variant is a nicer figure and we already have that one.

If you don't have the tranparent one grab that as it should settle you down for now lol

Jimmyo 01-02-2013 05:05 PM
I am looking for a Dark Spiderman from the 2 pack with Daken that came out a while ago, I have the figure somewhere but I have misplaced it (We must have it as we have the comic and Daken figure).

If anyone has the Dark Avengers comic pack or just that figure and wnats to shift it or even if you see the two pack out and about let me know guys please

Thanks

Jackieboy 01-02-2013 06:03 PM
good to hear mate,yeah its the "phasing" variant that im gonna be getting,i have a couple of ML,s im trading and the guy im trading with is gonna sweeten the deal with that figure.hope you get that dark spidey,but you could always use the ml scorpion venom.

Jimmyo 01-03-2013 12:41 AM
Yeah I was looking at the ML scorpion as its quite cheap but the scale bugs me.

Jackieboy 01-03-2013 05:13 AM
funny enough he actually is that size in the comics at one stage.

Welcome back! Been anywhere exciting!?

I've opened a big old pile of loot from BBTS and spent quite a lot of time over Xmas doing a few custom bits and bobs that I've been wanting to do for ages. All good!

Between Work, University, The Festivities, The short lived missus and a few short breaks following Celtic, time just flies by ye!
What revised MU should I be on the lookout for?

Anything nice in that P.O.L? Don't the customs charges make BBTS a bitch?

Got another Sentinel plus the last couple of waves of MU. Also got a few Transformers including Maketoys Devastator!

Yep, they most certainly are a bitch! I really can't justify it financially in any way, shipping's expensive and customs charges are a certainty. The only thing I can say is it's very very convenient - being able to pre-order things for free and having a pile of loot.

seems to be some older waves turning up over here.will know more on tuesday.

Lionheart 01-07-2013 04:42 AM
Thanks for the BBTS info guys. Something tells me it still works out cheaper getting the packs individually on eBay.

I need another Sentinel, one just doesn't seem right. But those figs are so fucking expensive over here! Especially when people are finding them for... $16 in the US! Insane!

Whilst I like the idea of getting it all in one big pile, I couldn't accept those charges. *Something about the Tory Government and allowances that might be construed as political was left out here*

Could you keep me posted, Jackieboy? There are a few older ones I'd like to get my hands on. X-men specifically.

I find Ebay the best bet, personally. Sellers like Kokomo Toys tend to not overprice the shipping either.
