UK Marvel Universe Collectors

ukmu · 02-02-2014, 08:00 PM

I think your right jackieboy...was watching Super Bowl and thinking same thing....... I will just buy more HYDRA guys and be done with them. Vision will come another day I think.

TMNT z-line....it's the bees knees bro. Wall mountable diorama pieces that look like roof tops in NYC and some of the American MU collectors have been using them nicely. My son has all the new turtle swag.... so we will get these too. Just released last week last week in region 1.... we (usually) get it 100 days later.

thanks ukmu,i thought another marvel line was on the cards,i only collect MU.so i really have no idea about other lines.regarding traders/sellers just ask for up to date pics of stuff you want to buy,ask for your name to be included on a piece of paper.if people make excuses dont deal with them,but again it works both ways,anyone genuine wont have any issues meeting your request,thats how i see it.sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith,sending first on trades.always try to ship via registered post and ask the same of the person you are dealing with.sometimes people will send non registered because the costs are insane(canada and certain US states)usually registered makes it in a week,unregistered 2 weeks but could be held up due to bad weather.so give allowance of an extra week,packages FROM canada takes a couple of weeks,sometimes in excess of 3 months.

The Superbowl was just embarrassing for the Broncos

Those Z Lines look awesome, I need to get some Turtles figs but the cash always goes on other ranges!

Jackieboy · 02-03-2014, 03:35 PM

Hey tiberius,fanboying on hot toys now?

Tiberius · 02-03-2014, 04:16 PM

show off hahaha

Jackieboy · 02-03-2014, 05:10 PM

Touche

thought you had Vision already.

Tiberius · 02-03-2014, 05:36 PM

Solid vision wave never hit Canada. I do got the translucent one, which works for me.

Jackieboy · 02-03-2014, 05:58 PM

im surprised,i thought you had the original waves bagged.but you are pretty decent at customs,why not try something like this?Silver surfer is a common enough figure to get hold of.

Props to the creator of this custom,nice job.

DKR Catwoman and RE4 Ada Wong.

Goldengreg · 02-04-2014, 02:20 AM

I got a translucent Vision on a set an Arker sold me months ago, I'm felling so lucky to have it.
It's one of my favorite characters, and I'm so happy I don't have to hunt for him... I'd have prefered a plain one, but you know... translucent > nothing

Shayne907 made that, but I hate painting with white. I'd never be able to produce something like that. That's just superb. I made myself a Fantomex...never again

DBL117 · 02-04-2014, 04:26 AM

Tiberius · 02-04-2014, 04:33 AM

Thanks! But there are much better ones. But from a distance on a shelf, he's perfect haha

Panthro1978 · 02-04-2014, 06:22 AM

Nice score mate! What TRU were you in? Also what was the price mark up?

Liverpool. £16.99 a pop, which'll be cheaper than my local comic store.

Yh that is cheaper, I thought they would be £20!

Hmm I live in Cheltenham, the Gloucester TRU isn't the greatest.

mikeyb101 · 02-04-2014, 10:18 AM

Do they have the Captain America 2 ones in TRU yet? Forbidden Planet have bumped their ETA to March 30th :/
Was speaking to my mate who runs Action Figure Supplies today and he said he's getting a shipment in about 7 - 10 days. He's a bit pricier than TRU though.

Not yet.

ukmu · 02-04-2014, 12:34 PM

Yeah... I have a feedback in my signature now!!!

Thanks.for walking me through it JackieBoy.

Primacron · 02-04-2014, 12:38 PM

I recently shipped my BBTS pile of loot, roughly £1000 worth!!! (It's been building for a while.....)

I only got charged £60 for customs fees which I think is pretty reasonable. If you're willing to wait for your stuff and use UPS (not USPS), it's a good deal.

Have finally got Elektra, Abomination and Omega Red!

ukmu · 02-04-2014, 12:45 PM

I sold 2 OLD drawings from the 90's I didn't even know.I had. So now I have an extra couple hundred quid to buy toys with. Mama UKMU has given papa UKMU a.budget now. I can't go over.it, but if I make some.extra work I might get a little extra. Mama UKMU is a Yorkshire las and tight with.the money.

Every time I get ready to buy figures... I blow £70 on HYDRA ATTACK TROOPERS or S.H.I.E.L.D. guys. I want a Vision before April. I need a.showdown beast too so I can finish my xmen (90's) I wish I wasn't so poor, I wish MU didn't keep me poor!!!!
