I have two BW for trade. Unfortunately, the plastic blister is a bit dented on the bottom.

[Jimmyo]

Thanks Panthro1978

I will keep that in mind but I think Scarlett wants to drag her mum out on the hunt, She has her little route planned out and everything lol.

They probably won't find anything but they do get a few bits every now and then

[Lionheart]

2 packages this week... 2 cards saying I owe the government some money and will have to pick up my own package and pay for the privilege. Both only went over $5, and both got me charged £12 ($20-ish)

Bastards! Yeah, I always get charged when I ship something from BBTS. Sometimes twice if it ends up being 2 boxes.

I saw the helecarrier in the Disney store on Thursday, I had decided not to get it as I didn't have room but it didn't look as big as I was expecting. Anyone else picked one up?

Can you guys explain to me how the UK levy costs work,over here if you pay over 25 euro for an item from an non-EU country you will have to pay a charge.
Some of my family are heading to New York in a couple of weeks,so ill be preparing a "to get" list for them
Nice score on the colossus 2 pack panthro btw.

[TheLongestDay]

My local ASDA had a ton of MU and Avengers (wave 1) still priced at around £9 though

Amazing Spidey figures are £8

[MGTAJ]

If it's over something like 12 pounds, they get you. And if the courier does it for you, they tend to add an admin fee which is generally higher than the import duty. Which when you combine it with the rip-off shipping costs from the likes of BBTS; you get stung real bad

i keep having to remind myself that you are a MOC collector,so the packages will be bigger.ive been getting a lot of loose figures so i have escaped "charges"
is the fee variable depending on package weight/size?or is it fixed?

Excellent stuff,been meaning to ask you,was that Beast sent from the states or have they turned up in your Home town?I'm not even bothering with the Amazon seller's,works out at about 25 euro per figure converted.

Came from the States, my friend. The only new Marvel stuff to pop up in my area are the new two-packs.

Great figure,im only counting down the days before we get those new waves mate.Thinking about grabbing the Shocker on Tuesday,but i have to buy the spidey copter in order to get him......LOL,anyone interested in a spidey copter???
@MGTAJ Looks like that Wolverine is a rehash of the XMO wolverine,the 3 notable differences are Colour scheme,shoulder pads and Head sculpt.and the Hulk is a different shade of green compared to the avengers 4 pack Hulk who is darker.
Update.
Just to let you know,Forbidden Planet has some of those 2-packs available.i seen Hulk/Wolverine and they have some Wolverine cap america pacs.

[spikeyk]

Cheers for the warm welcome yea it is DC Figurines in the cabinet but i also collect the marvel ones, that was my last addiction

[Jackieboy]

Okay today's a very special day for one of our youngest collectors,so id like to be one of the first to wish jimmyo's daughter Scarlett a very happy birthday,Hope you have a wonderful day

[Panthro1978]

No Marvel for me today but a Thundertank for £14.99 from Liverpool Entertainer.

Along with The Hunger Games. Hope it's as good as the reviews.

[Sector15]

Dark Horse got me an Avengers Black Widow. I'm a happy man now. Plus I managed to get it within my dwindling budget .

Thanks Brother she had a great day, We got her the new 3ds-xl and a ton of games she has not even looked at it lol. she has been too busy with her Fin Fang Foom and Giantman.

Now we just have to wait for wave 19 to hit FP and we are set.

I was surprised at how cool the helicarrier is its probably not worth the money but if you can grab one on a deal it is worth it

Sounds like Scarlett had a fantastic day,Now you can focus on Christmas
Some of my family are heading to New York for Christmas Shopping,i am making a "too get" list for them.so hopefully i can land a couple of those New figures.
********WARNING:INCOMING MINI-RANT*******
i'm not digging the "increased" prices on the latest MU to arrive over here,i know its not much but still,i think my MU stockists fail to remember that i do not really need them to get my hands on MU,and im actually doing them a service by spending money in their stores.But if they keep it up,ill completely boycott their stores.i dont know if any of you guys are experiencing the same through your LCS's.i cant complain about tesco's and the like because their prices always stay the same...............and by the way the MU sandman figure being sold on Ebay is a Joke,i dont recommend.
