Yeah they always leave the answers sort of vague on certain things. I remember reading once that UK and EU get TMNT stuff imported from the manufactures and not through the distributors like other places get. Not really sure what that even means, but I guess it takes longer that way, would seem quicker with no middle man but I guess not. I do know that TMNT stuff sells, that Z-Line looks awesome for MU and they will (?) release it here soon. 2 more weeks until the kids are out of school for the summer.... so maybe by September when they go back to school... maybe. I would imagine 100% by Christmas though.

Overdrives prices are fair on most things, plus free shipping and you can always haggle on ebay. Some items might seem high but when you buy by the case you will eat Caps and Iron Mans (Men?) and certain other unwanteds as too.I guess one factors that into the prices as well. There are MANY choices out there and we are all pretty good at sourcing our hobbies. He is supporting his family by selling toys on ebay, in this economy I applaud that. I am helping him out with his first show. Although I have NEVER done a comic/card/toy show, I have done SEVERAL trade shows and sales at art/craft fairs before. I think it will be fun and hopefully he make some good money for himself and his young family. That and it will (hopefully) be nice for the attendees to see a dedicated toy dealer there. Either way, I am looking forward to it. A nice day out. I wouldnt mind, a few years from now, doing a few BIG shows a year myself. I have zero stock but sort of a dream to wheel and deal in toys. Just needs to be something we dont want to keep!!! I joke with Blaze and tell him we can sell Barbie and My Little Pony... but that might NOT be a bad idea.

Waiting on the post now...... in less than an hour SHS Beast from The Longest Day (should) be here... I am SOOO stoked! He has been a big WANT for so long. Blaze dosent know he is coming, and I should put him away until Christmas.... but it is hard!!! Maybe dear old dad will have a go then out him up!!

Custom night went well! Painted and talked and ate nachos and watched Independence Day on tele.....good stuuf. Our MU Gravitron is the business!! Jocasta is all painted, now have to add a band thing on her upper left thigh and sculpt the head finish with another coat and BAM she is done. Have Moondragon and Tigra in the works too. Still need a doner body for Tigra.... hoping the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. kickstarter hits 210,00 dolars and their orange female is unlocked, then I will use her!

EDIT.... Just got SHS BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, SO much better than the pictures! And I caved.... gave him to Blaze already! He just about did a backflip in the kitchen!!!!
