    Good to hear about wave two deluxes. Hopefully voyagers won't be far behind. Might be tempted by a Smokescreen at €12...

    Usually go to Smyths every Friday before shopping... just wondering if he's any good.

    it's not exactly good. But it's good enough.

    Have you seen BH Starscream... by the standards of the line, Smokescreen is quite acceptable.

    I have the Voyager Starscream so didn't bother with Deluxe version.

    Does anyone know if ToyRus can get stuff sent to other stores, like if one store has something can they send it to my one?

    Hamleys has wave 3 deluxes - Skystalker, Ratchet, Dreadwing - for the not-too-horrible price of €18. They also had wave 2 Legion - Soundwave, Prowl, Hun-Gurrr(rrrrrrr), have we seen those yet? - for... some money. Maybe €8?

    Better than the usual Hamley price of €22. Either way, Smyths Carrickmines have Skystalker and Dreadwing for €15, although no sign in town yet.

    Research, It's not a rare artifact from Roman times... shops I've seen it in are asking for more. Don't call me a liar.

    First off I'm not a store, people don't always shop online or have access to credit cards so that's that and then you have post delays or customs, mine isn't opened either, I'm done with you, you sell your stuff I'll sell mine, mind your own business please. Bye :)

    Oh, who cares, if he wants to sell it for €90 or €900, that's his right, you picking on him just makes you look petty.

    They are these days. I've had them check on single deluxes, my mail bloke says that he's getting more and more charges to collect, and my friend in Revenue - although he's in commercial imports, rather than personal - says that everyone's being cracked down on. Government needs money, getting strict on customs is a nice and easy way to do that.

    Also, there's no conflict between feeling that a few extra Euro on current deluxes is expensive, and selling something unavailable for what you consider an expensive price.

    There's no conflict, it's just hypocritical. I've always been a hypocrite, so I know all about this.

    it's fair to take money off suckers willing to pay it. I have often been that sucker.

    The amount I paid customs to import a G1 Jetfire earlier in the year was more than the original retail price of the toy. I imported a toy dinosaur model and ended up paying over 4 times the original value in customs duty. I don't import all that much these days, so I don't have a clue. Just get stuck with these bewilderingly high charges and don't know what else to do except pay up.

    Although, the bone-white plastic of Jetfire is a joy to behold.

    My local Tesco has the newest wave of Deluxes and Voyagers, spotted them while I was picking up GTA last night.

    I saw a bunch of them earlier in Tesco Clairhall. They had masses of the stuff. There just seems to be one Voyager in this wave. Weird huh?

    Is anyone buying this stuff?
