You won't find them much cheaper as UK shops for CS just suck, FP are the only shop in my area that sell them!

No wonder the WWE section is so damned popular in Newcastle's FP, I always pop in a couple of times a week after college and one day they have in tons then next their stock is sucked dry. and Woolies round here haven't had CS for a long time, pushing a year where I am! |

defo Layeth,
When the Wrestling store shut down, FP was the obvious choice, but the Wrestling store was over priced anyway, nice selection, but it was hidden.
I heard that they had to shut the one in Eldon Sq due to electrical problems within the store, so they moved back to the indoor walkthrough, near FP, and that didnt last long.
I was at the metro the other day, first time i have been there in ages, and wasn't shocked to find that one closed down too.
There is a cart which sells figs in the metro, thats over priced too.

If you don't want to pay postage, your options seem to be to find a branch of:
-Forbidden Planet
-Forbidden Planet International
-The Entertainer
Or a random market stall/import shop. But I reckon either way, you're looking at a tenner minimum (more likely £12-14) - and my local Forbidden Planet and FPI have sold out of a lot of the figures in CS20.

It sure was electrical problems, over a grand of stock was soiled by flood and they was a mini fire there, not big enough to do damage or anything. Yeah they folded in March due to various reasons, mainly the stress it put on the owner. The Eldon Garden shop was my favourite, but toward the end it was going for a while, you could tell as both shops had very little stock there and it was all old stuff they could never sell. I never went to the Metro one at all this year, then I just walk past the site completely bare with the banners still up, I've walked past it a couple of times recently to get to other places. Oh yeah that barrel, A1 Comics, it's alright but nout special, some prices are reasonable and some are higher, it just depends on what you want that given day. |

Bummer about the store shutting for the reasons it did. If i didnt know any better, i would have presumed it was just down to lack of business in Newcastle... fair play that FP do well, but they have a lot of other hobby/interests to make up for a bad month of wrestling related sales, per say. I liked how i could randomly pick up IYH 4 on vhs for £3.50... it always had something i wanted, i got a handful of older vids, a couple of hasbros and a signed Rhyno pic from there.. was a pretty cool shop, and from what i can remember, the staff always seemed alright too. They were always on ebay.. every time i went in. ahh well. (sorry its drifted off topic raz) |

lol nevermind - thanks for all the advice - seems with the mainstream shops not selling CS anymore, specialist shops like FP are just happy with selling at a higher price (exploitation!)
