    The shipping for me stay the same as I add stuff. Remember prices on the site need to be converted to £ too. Rotorstorm wants in too so shipping is split 3 ways now too

    Speed, packing etc?

    I got Rager direct from igear and the packaging was really nice, and it was quite speedy delivery after they shipped it

    ]Got prime cyberverse commander Starscream and Megatron both came with Starscream instructions. I think I have Megatron transformed correctly.

    Also I belive prime on cartoon network is near the end of season 1. The episode last Friday was the episode where Raf gets injured and Optimus and Megatron have an awesome fight. I apologise if this is spoilers but I figured since it is season 1 and has aired in the UK it wouldn't be but if it is I will edit my post.

    I saw some Prime Cyberverse Commanders in my local Asda yesterday, but there was only Optimus and Bulkhead, no Megatron or Starscream. Every other place that sells toys in my area are still stocking Dark of the Moon Wave 1 Deluxes unfortunately, mostly Crankcase, Roadbuster and Ratchet :(

    Yeah, I've heard its good. As for the prime figures, I'm just having a bit of a scale back on all my lines and getting rid of the figures I don't absolutely love.

    One thing I don't want to become with the Prime line is a completest. Animated is the closest I've come to owning all characters available, which had the undesirable effect of making it very hard to get rid of any of them - even the ones I really disliked (soundwave, for example). Fortunately, I'm well on the way to distilling that line to the finest.

    Still, I may remove FE Arcee and Bee from my thread for now, as I'm in two minds about those guys!

    I pre ordered Rager and Spray from them and they were some of the first to be shipped out. Packaging was spot on, delivery time was fine.

    I got all three MP Coneheads from them. Packaging was minimal but adequate (figure in its MP box, in a cardboard box with little padding). Delivery time was excellent and they down-declared the value for customs.

    Sideshow, huh? I know very little about these... I wonder how much HOLY CRAP! How much? She had better wake you up with a smile and a cup of tea in the morning!
