Hm. I live in the U.K. and I am only paying 12.80 Euros (about £9.97) but you'll probably get yours before I do.

 

yea I just seen that so it roughly comes out to 100.00 USD...

Canceled order before final acceptance.

Better off getting it off e-bay.

 

Yeah, I was following the order process with the currency set to the British pound (which works out slightly cheaper, oddly enough).

But then, with a 25 GBP fee ON TOP??

A $50 "administration fee"??

Apparently they pay Richard Branson to lick the stamps personally. What complete and utter BS! Judging from the activity on this forum alone, I'm sure they're losing a tremendous amount of overseas business based on their "administrative fees".

But then for every sucker who pays the administration fee, he's just made up for 3 other people who were smart enough to realize that was too damn much to pay for a $10 toy.

Yeah, I think there's both a shipping charge AND a "documentation fee." I know it tacked on about another 35 euros after I clicked the place order button.

I did also get the weird shopping cart problem. I clicked add to cart once and ended up with 2 items. I haven't gotten an e-mail confirmation of the order yet but now you all have me worried that it maybe added another Swerve to my cart somewhere along the way.

 

clicking on the link to the store automatically put 50 of these buggers in my cart.

hilarious

I'll pass on these.. to rich for me too

 

The link is still not working correctly?   I'll try to fix it again.

Edit--Alright, I've re-added the link, as well as added a link to their front-page. I hope this works correctly now!  

 

Why are people referring to this as a Classics/Universe figure?

 

Eh, that's a little expensive, even though they ARE exclusives and I like getting exclusive figures. I don't really like the Swindle mold anyway, so I don't think I'm missing out on too much.

 

We've seen a picture of his instructions. On them, he was listed as a Universe figure. Hasbro plans to class the Classics 2.0 line Universe in stores. Classics 2.0 is name that they just referred to it for simplicity. I hope that helps.  

Optimus747, Swerve is a new mold. It is not a remake of Movie Swindle. Unfortunately, we don't know if Hasbro plans a mass release for this figure.  

 

But his instructions used the old Universe logo, as in "crazy ugly repaints/discount stores exclusive repackages" Universe.

 

Really? I didn't remember that. Thanks for telling me!   I wonder then what he would be classified as.

 

Too rich for my blood. Plus, I'd bet money he'll show up in the states under the new Universe/Classics 2.0 line.

 

Yeah, looking at better pics it looks different. I thought it was a remold of Swindle, though, at the very least.

 

That would be nice.

 

So, he's part of the old school Universe line? Like, stemming from the 3H fanclub stuff, and not the new, inclusive Universe series that Classics was umbrella'd under? Not that it matters much; was just wondering how people knew what line to put him under.

 

Could I ask a huge favor of someone and have them buy one for me and i can paypal you the money right away to pay for it. I can't get it to load while i'm at work and i don't want to miss out.

 

Ordered mine, shipping was £12 for UPS standard.

 

Wonder how much it is to ship to Australia. Unfortunately I have no money left with me, though  

edit aftewr reading SMOG's post*
25 pound surcharge?! Goodness.

 

Its all the same to me.

After I just finally caved and bought one on ebay for $115 shipped... that is life.
