    If the item value is over £18 then you pay custom charges on the total of the value of the item plus the shipping.

    If the item value is less than £18 then there are no customs charges, even if the total of the item value plus the shipping exceeds £18.

    If it gets checked, if it's valued at less then £18 they won't check it.

    Newcastle & Gateshead sightings;

    TRU, Gateshead: Half a dozen MP Grimlocks (got mine thanks to tfmad's tip-off, cheers again dude :D ), tons of Animated Voyagers, a lot of Animated EG BBs, Samurai Prowls, Swindles, plenty of Generations & HFTD Waves 1 & 2, and HFTD Rescue Ratchet & Axor. Universe Ultras were still plentiful, along with HFTD Voyagers, ROTF Superion and the Whirl/Bludgeon two-pack.

    Boots, Metrocentre: Nothing at all. This is one of the big ones with toys too, so things aren't looking good.

    Moving onto Newcastle..

    Forbidden Planet: HFTD Legends Wave 2 were plentiful. And at £6.99 a piece, that will remain the case for the time being. They had one Red Alert left after I nabbed one, £14.99. Lots of Generations Waves 1 & 2, nothing bigger than a Deluxe in other lines.

    Fenwicks: Generations! They had a couple of Thrusts left, lots of HFTD Waves 1 & 2, Animated Megs still at £19.99.

    John Lewis: Lots of HFTD Scouts, Battle Blades Prime, and Voyager Prime. Nothing else of note.

    Oh, not a sighting per se but if anyone actually gives a toss, ROTF Devs seems to be £49. Still more than I'd pay.

    If they don't Asda had him in tonight. They're £12.97 there though. Failing that Smyths on the team valley had a few in at the weekend.

    I got my Generations Megs from TRU a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the tip on Red Alert, may pop in the next few days. No Soundwave I presume?

    I have ordered from them in the past and never had a problems, although they dont like responding to emails. I have also pre-ordered with them right now, if that tells you that I trust them up to a point.

    I was in the boots in Peterborough on saturday which has the biggest toy section ive ever seen,they did have quite a few transformers but unfortunatly they were all very early ROTF deluxes.This really doesnt bode well at all.

    I order and pre-order from them all the time and haven't had any problems. Nearly all my orders have been next day delivery. You need to find out if it's their problem or the delivery company's, which is either Royal Mail or Parcel Force.

    No Megs in TRU, but they did have a couple in Forbidden Planet, as long as you don't mind forking out £14.99.

    No Soundwaves. :(  Have a good dig around for Red Alert, the last one was right at the back of one peg!

    Get over your phoneophobia! :p  Ringing up is far better that email for getting results with almost any mail order company.

    Enfield Sainsbury's had the full hftd axor/ironhide deluxes, 3 hftd voyages, all the new Prime, wave 2 pcc commanders and the usual legends/scouts that have been floating around recently. The tru next door had wave 2 generations, quite a few megs but no prime, funnily enough, and all the other stuff that's been on their shelves for over a year. No hftd Leaders, no MP Gimlock, no Big bb. Oh, and wave 2 pcc five packs.

    Agreed Toyzangamez has always been very helpful and easy to deal with over the phone.
