    From what I've heard, Anime Export does exactly that

    News to me. Kinda tempted, since I like Skywarp, but I'm not a huge fan of that head sculpt

    I've got MP Shockwave on preorder with them at the moment, so I'll let you know how that works out when I get him

    I got MP Starsaber from Anime Export without any customs issues and it was a huge box. I've used them a few times and never had any customs trouble. One word of warning regarding Anime Export is that I've heard that some preorders with them get forgotten about and invoices are never sent out, never happened to me but i know a few people on the boards have had that problem and they are slow to reply to emails too.
    Chimungmung.com is a great site too and never had any customs trouble either, you can add a message in your order and request the item value to be lowered to reduce the chances of customs getting it, not sure if they still do it though.
    FYI, anything with a declared value above €20 from outside the EU is susceptible to customs fees.
    TFsource in the US is a site I've used and never been hit by customs, could be just lucky on my part.
    I wouldn't use BigBadtoystore, pretty much everything they send to Ireland and UK is caught by customs.

    I was going to use BBTS for Terminus Hexatron, but the risk of customs was so bad, I decided to get him ordered in from a Collectibles store:lol 


    Going to check out Anime Export soon, I'll ask the Collectibles Store how much Fort Max will be, if its cheap I'll go to there.

    Yeah, literally everything I get from BBTS gets caught by customs. Amazon is handy enough in that you're usually charged an import fee at the checkout, and if it ends up being less than that they refund you the difference

    I got Onslaught in mid February, and I think he was scalped because on Saturday he wasn't in Smyths, also does anyone know when Smyths are getting in the Combaticon limbs as well? I asked them in January and they said late February and they weren't there on Saturday.

    The one on Jervis St had at least one on Sunday.

    As for the second part, i doubt even Hasbro UK know.

    Europe usually only gets Deluxes once the US has had its fill.

    Vortex is up on Smyths Website, but under Out of Stock, the 3 others aren't.



    So we have Vortex at least.

    Don't Deluxes usually ship in case assortments?

    So i'm inclined to say it's actually all four or nothing :-?

    Smyths Fonthill has RID warrior Thunderhoof

    Combiner Wars wave six deluxes (Wheeljack, Hound, Trailbreaker, Smokescreen) have also been found in Smyths in Waterford, and a few places in the UK, but didn't see any there myself

    Was down in Waterford yesterday and Smyths do have the CW Hound, Wheeljack wave in stock. They also had a few Battle core Optimus and Onlsaught voyagers. No sign of the deluxe combaticons though. They also had a blizzard strike optimus from RID, the warrior class figure.
    Not TF related but they had some of the new lego star wars sets and lego DC sets as well as the new batcave set from the 60's batman show.

    Hi mate. It can take up to and sometimes over a month for something to get here from chimungmung. If it's a big package it may have been caught by customs which could add a couple of weeks onto the wait, that has happened to me once or twice from different sellers. There might be some kind of holiday or something happening that may have affected their postal system for a few days similar to Chinese new year. You may have also bought a preorder item without realising it, something I have done in the past too.
    if you're concerned about it just shoot them an email and ask for an update and the tracking info on it. It should at the very least tell you if your package left the country.

    Emailed with no response. Was told 5 to 12 days and it's close to a month now. The shipping says it left Hong Kong the 11th last month. It's mmc cynics and anarchus.
