    I got mine for £55 delivered from ebay, with no customs charges.

    Ive paid the same for Sideswipe, and hopefully he also slides in under the radar....

    I'm glad that I managed to get in on the MP10 goodness.

    This is certainly a TF I didn't imagine getting at all. Now for MP Soundwave for the same price please. :D

    Slightly random heads-up; FOC and all of its DLC are on sale on Steam at 50% off, while WFC itself is down to 75% off, both for the rest of today and tomorrow.

    Thanks Red.

    MP10 has sold out? Wow - The start of 2013 has been a ride already so now we're counting down to delivery of bargain of the year.

    So the Red Alert dude has been banned? Mine was £58 off eBay couldn't rely on Amiami restocking.

    Any ideas when MP Soundwave is shipping?

    I got it for £35 shipped SAL (not fussed about when he gets here) and will hope that he gets through customs without a charge.

    Hosta has been banned. He went postal in a couple of threads totally unnecessarily.

    In better news my (stupidly on my behalf) bundled order made ages ago on RK has shipped, so MP sideswipe and the first two uranos jets are on the way (probably via a sound bumming from parcelfarce)

    My Amazonimus Prime order is still OK too, that's the third update to the product page with no price hike or cancelation email.

    A coup on PRID in 2012 and half price MP goodness in 2013, a UK special could become a yearly event.

    I reckon we'll get a warehouse find of the G2 Stunticons and Protectobots in 12months time...

    Would anyone please be kind enough to post a picture of MP Sideswipe/Alert next to Alternity Megatron/Prime? I have a sneaking feeling that the new MP scale is somewhere between both...

    None of my packages from RK have been done by customs, I use the default shipping option without insurance.

    Yeah, me too. I seem to get caught about 1 in 10 times though. i think its when they use the marked boxes. I've asked them for plain boxes the last few times and has been OK.

    Casual hello.

    *walks into thread for first time since Christmas Eve, having caned Twin Peaks and The Killing boxsets, reads last 40 pages in an hour*

    Fuck.

    Jono83 is a legend.

    Meh, there was a toy on Amazon that's now sold out.

    *has a read through UK sightings, too*

    Whoah. Not going to break any house rules but that was odd.

    Also, high five to Boardwise for evidently reading lots of London Grumblr lately.

    EDIT: Blah, dubbles post.

    Got my first Kreo at Christmas - the little Bumblebee and Optimus. Had a load of fun with them. Any recommendations for the smaller Kreo figures? Not sure I'd go in for those big cars and planes. And the headsculpts are fantastic.

    My order for MP10 is still in my "Open Orders" page. I really hope this goes through and it's the real deal! I may have to look into getting a MP sideswipe or red alert now!
