The logest day sorted me out with free weapons in our last trade. I think the point is, there is a certain few who on here are actully excited about other peoples collections and what makes them unique and is genuinley not out to make any profit to help a brother out. sorry dude rant over

i really dont think that was aimed at anyone in particular,pilkster.
and yes i agree there are good people here and over on the US thread.
ive sent people hard to get variants,free figures,free BAF parts,all at no extra cost.because the way i see it,if i want to make easy disposable income,id sell class a drugs.but helping a fellow collector is what im all about.....not helping myself or looking for some kind of celebrity or fame from my collection,like some do.

I understand it wasn't aimed at me I think it anyod me because I've been chatting to quite a few people on fb from this thread and they are all a great bunch of lads. I understand why they post finds and I do agre with you you we have our own little UK section here so we should utilise it for what ever we like where it be what we spot or what we recive or collection or even trade stuff.

I doubt I'll be around to watch a live stream, so tomorrow morning will be playing catch up

Goldengreg · 07-11-2015, 05:51 AM

Back from the one (and only!) Disney Store in France, and they had the Sandman wave... unfortunately they only had painted and brown Sandman only... The cashier explained me that for Star Wars and Marvel Stuff, they usually only receive what the UK doesn't need anymore...

I hope you let me some Bishop and some Vulture/Shannah to eat, brit cousins!

ukmu · 07-11-2015, 09:20 PM

Well....... That sucked. What a let down was the panel.

I posted links to look at pics.... Not really sure why our ToyArk staff did not take any pics?

I like the Mar-Vel figure in the two pack. Wouldn't mind having several for a Kree army. Will have to see if Chinabay comes through for us.

Lockjaw.... He came out of nowhere! I need to grab a Karnak soon I guess. Chinabay had some for less than six quid shipped, will have a look again.

jedirulz123 · 07-12-2015, 04:08 AM

Gamora looks alright, although I still need Starlord, Drax, & Rocket.
Good to see Emma, Executioner, Northstar, & Colossonaut actually getting wave releases.
Ultron, Korg, & Chameleon are must buys next wave.
I've got my Vision custom, New Vision looks awful.
No reveal of Black Bolt & Rogue, suggesting they're just MU repacks.
Mar-Vell is perfect for Kree Soldiers, let's hope Chinabay gets it.

Law78 · 07-12-2015, 04:26 AM

Need some advice UK guys, I really want the sdcc Ant Man pack, nearly bid on one last night but wondered what you guys think what is a good price for it, shipped to the UK with customs its going to work out about 100 quid, is this too much money? Only thing I'm worried about them going up even more in the months to come, cheers

You pose an interesting question, friend. Were they just normal figures, they're not worth it. But as an exclusive, perhaps. Do you want all parts of it, or just Giant Man?

I want the whole thing, think it's a cracking piece and have always liked Ant/giant man, will probably keep it in the box and just buy the new 6inch giant man to go with my MU figures, just wanted to know if it I was paying over the odds as I can't actually see anywhere that says how much it costs or comic con

In a disturbing twist of fate I actually want the 5poa Age of Ultron Vision more than either of the MU ones......:/

ukmu · 07-12-2015, 12:27 PM

.........................@Law..................... ...

There is a 30% chance to get it much cheaper, £65 range with no import duty.

It retailed for $70 at the con ( plus $30 for shipping to UK, making it around £65 to your door) and should be same on HTS when it goes live. To buy it from Hasbro directly you will 2 things. 1:someone stateside willing to buy it and ship it to their place and then onto you. 2: a bit of luck.

This is the first year they have said the exact date when it will be available. The Book of Vishanti is hot hot hot, and a lot of 3.75" collectors are skipping. Those two factors work for you. Everyone knowing the date and the cross scale nature of the set, those two factors are working against you.

If an Arker gets it for you then they could put value of $20 on the customs declaration making an import duty of zero. So your call, pay £100 now, wait to score it for around £70 from HTS and an Arker -but risk missing out. It will surely rise in price on the secondary after others miss out too. By mid autumn it will level back out. So your quest isn't really about cost but more of time......

Hope that helped, most likely just made the decision harder. I am just some guy though at the end of the day, so use your head. Calendar or wallet... Your call.

Cheers UKMU you're right though that hasn't helped my decision, i've just missed out again by $1 and it came with the mini ant man in the marchbox

Jimmyo · 07-12-2015, 01:27 PM

I will get everything, already got my Ant-man box on the way thanks to a great friend who was at the Con.

Got a Lockjaw custom the other day and I am really happy with it but I will still grab the official just to be complete.

there is still life in the line yet
