Stockton smyths had nowt. half the shelves were empty as it looked like they were rearranging the store

 

Has Siege been spotted in any brick and mortar stores other than Smyth's?

 

Toymaster brand Toybarnhaus has had them since at least December the 18th.

 

I counted 11 Moonracers at my local Smyths yesterday. No Siege, only a couple of Studio Series and one whole aisle completely emptied. Hopefully they’ll restock soon.

 

Has anyone had additional import charges when ordering reprolabels form toyhax?

I'm a bit nervous about ordering some of the symbol labels due to risks of additional costs.

(Also does anyone know where you can shattered glass symbols from (I know reprolabels apparently doesn't do them?)

 

ID Toys stocks some Toxhax labels and they're a UK shop. I got the Windblade one from them a while back and I don't remember having to pay any import charges.

I haven't been hit by customs on any order from Toyhax thus far *touches wood*, even on the larger envelope orders I've made that included 3D printed parts.

 

*technically* stickers would be printed material and should be exempt like books are.

Whether HMRC will see it like that is a different matter....

 

Popped into Derby Smyths, wasa bit of a disappointment



So that's what's taking up all the shelf space now the mega dragonstorms and 07 primes have left.


And the rest wasn't too appealing, also much of it old stock.

 

I was just going to say something similar, but there are small clauses in the import rules whereby certain printed materials can be charged. Rare books, can be caught up in it, as can documentation for any physical item of value. So if a ToyHax order was of a large value, got noticed, and they investigated it - they could class it as taxable.

I was told recently that the whole import/taxing thing would be going through a refresh post Brexit, including an improved system, so I think it will remain as easy as it's always been, but items will be inspected in more detail. They're current system is essentially still mostly manual, which is why some things still slip through, but if it gets fully automated things will be checked in more detail.

 

Toyhax labels are usually just shipped in a normal envelope and don't have a customs declaration on them either. I'd imagine they're treated just like a letter.

 

Don't know if it's a "sighting" per say, but talking to the guys in-store in shaftbury avenue forbidden planet they said they will have the seige leaders on the shelf in the next week

 

Anyone who has a Topcashback account may have received an email notifying them of an offer they're currently running where you get £2.50 cashback with purchases over £5.

I've just pre-ordered Bumblebee on blu-ray from Zoom. With cashback and the offer included, it brings the price down to just over a tenner.

 

Sounds good, though bad for the wallet  

 

Kapow had them on import last week, so very likely.

 

Have we exposed the 4-25 grey import RID warriors in larger Tesco's yet, seems to be one each of a later wave, in Colchester Highwoods I bought Op, Sound, Scream and ..........red lady plane, I left Grim, Bee, Twin and Strong....we done this already, sorry, I'll get me coat.

 

Oddly Forbidden Planet have set their dates of wave 1 Siege to April! For example this Cog Hasbro: Transformers: Transformers: War For Cybertron: Siege Deluxe Action Figure: Cog from Transformers @ ForbiddenPlanet.com - UK and Worldwide Cult Entertainment Megastore expected 11th April.

I hope this is FP not knowing their dates, and not some horrible sign of doom for UK stock.

 

heard it mentioned elsewhere. sounds like the revision version of the final wave that the Americans got before the main last wave and wound them up by not having Bludgeon and Thermidor in.

 

What prices are Tesco selling, the RID warriors for?

 

Also I've ordered some reprolabels, I will report back whenever they arrive. If I get customs charged.
Thanks everyone for the info
