UK Sightings


ukzarak

Recommended Posts

Anyone got any advice for buying in the UK. My most recent purchese was a railracer set from the entertainer, which i only found through the seibertronian message boards. I'm sick of going to tru and only finding destucticon scourge and bludgeon. I'm in the southampton area, but can easily get to london

forbidden Planet stores tend to get the Takara reissue collections in now and again. I got Megatron, Prime, Skids, and the Minibots here in Belfast, and Smokescreen in Glasgow. They also have Superlink Grand Convoy, Shockwave, and Megazarak here at the moment. So I'd say check your local FP store, but your best bet living in the UK is to buy from internet companies. Try Ellis Models for lots of TF related goodness :thumb

Cheers for the tip, thats the best uk sight i've found. Everythings still exspensive though. epicheroes.com is the only uk sight I'd found. Have you had any luck with toyfairs, or abntique/bricabrac stores. Thanks. WaForbidden planet in London wants £150 for a god girai reissue!

We don't get many toyfairs and such here. I get most of my stuff from ebay. If you go to ebay.co.uk you can usually get some fairly decent priced stuff shipped straight from Hong Kong. A really good retailer I just rembered isXybertoys.com All the stuff I've gotten from them has been top notch, and it's free P+P to the UK. :clap

Hi Y'all

 

Just thought I'd mention that I managed to get myself the entire set of transformers that form Rail Racer, from the Stevenage branch of The Entertainer, here in the UK. Thirty quid for the entire set!! :tflaugh

Stevenage branch? I have'nt heared of that place. Are any of the bullet trains left?

Stevenage is the town that I live in, and there was one of the trains left, which I think was Rapid Run.

 

If you were wondering, Stevenage is about 25 - 30 minutes train ride north of London! :tfgrin
