    I feel like someone turned over two pages at once... infrequent thread visits = much confusion :/

    I think I have. The only release I've wanted this year was RID Arcee and I've not seen a single Prime figure at retail. Shockwave looks like he'll be great but no doubt he'll be scalped to buggery and that'll be it.

    I find myself scouring the interwebz for Batman figures instead. Anyone got any favourite (online) shops for such things? All I've found so far is Star Action Figures.

    1. That is freaking awesome!
    2. I hate you... Now I kind of want Soundwave.
    3. This would support the idea of the other tapes being sold as twin packs, to give three including Laserbeak.

    @ Bovril, RID Arcee is becoming more common, I'm sure someone would be able to nab you one. I too am looking at other figures these days, which is strange given my attitude of "Transforming robots or GTFO" of about a year ago! Really enjoying picking up a few Joes, I love my thundercats classics, still Waiting on Turtles classics and I'm really liking the look of the Prometheus Engineer figures from Neca.

    ...INTRIGUING.

    Fingers crossed for at least a Vehicon but trumping the US again? I hope that means voyager Dreadwing. At least Rumble, maybe.

    I'm going to needlessly get my hopes up... right... now.

    AWW YEAH. G1 Swoop at Argos!

    Ah I remember the days of ROTF when those damn things were flooding the shelves and we were all begging for them to go away. How times have changed. Sort of.

    I have a couple of those bad boys from ROTF.

    Somehow, this feels more of a joke than actual seriousness...

    Anyways, what's the possibility of us getting RtS Wave 2 during March/April time?

    I think it's being dispatched by USPS. Does anyone know who handles their stuff in the UK? I'm just worried I'll miss the delivery as the nearest depot is in north bristol!

    On the continuing presumption your question was Parcelforce related (?)
    What i was getting at is that (again, i think?) some USPS postage methods circumvent Parcelforce, although i can't remember which ones TBH.

    It was a pretty cheap posting method, so I'm not sure. If it does turn out to be parcelforce, I really hope they drop the parcel off at my local royal mail depot because the chances of me being in are slim!

    USPS and EMS are both delivered via Parcelforce who have gotten slower and slower thanks to increased customs checks to do with the Olympics and also because our wonderful government want as much tax as they can grab, they've ( HMRC ) have also had a lot of staff cuts which is also contributing to the delays....................................and I'm waffling :)

    Grand! Slow delivery and the likelihood of import tax! Guess I won't be getting my parcel any time soon! And so, back to my other question, if I miss the delivery, will the parcel be taken back to the Bristol depot, or will it be left at a local Post office Depot?

    It's not likely to be your local Post Office, sadly, but the nearest main Parcelforce depot.

    And if your item only cost £18, you shouldn't be charged import duty.
