I'm hoping to upgrade my Hasbro / Retro figure cases to the Zoloworld cases, which seem to be the best on offer for both of these lines. Does anyone know the best way to get these as a collector based in the U.K.? The postage costs on Zoloworld's website make this a pretty difficult route. I also assume import costs are added to the final total, as well, so this is a no go.
How have other International collectors acquired these? Are there any collectors Stateside looking to move a bunch of these on? I'm looking for 100+, ideally.

If a company could import a load of these, I'm sure they could make a decent profit on the sales at the same time as us collectors getting value for money. I've been after these for years but they never seem cost effective when the shipping and import charges double the costs of the cases themselves. |

I'm specifically looking for the Zoloworld cases as I already have the standard figure cases for my collection. Thanks again. |

Agreed that the Zoloworld cases are the best. I bought 50 about a month ago and I'm thinking of getting 100 more so I can put all my Hasbros in them plus all the retros as they come out.

Are you based in the States? That's the kind of number I'm after, too. 100 or so for my Hasbro's and enough to cover 10 Series plus (fingers crossed!) of the Retros! They just sit much better in the Zoloworld cases than they do in the standard ones I've always used. They can stand on a shelf, as well. |

Yup, in the U.S. I can see why they would be expensive to ship overseas unfortunately. When you get up to high quantities they're very heavy. |

Yeah, I can appreciate that. Do they slot inside each other like other cases? I'm hoping we can find a company over here to import a load of them, if there's enough of a market here. I certainly want them for my Retro's. My Hasbro's are nicely stored away at the moment, although I'd want to use the Zoloworld cases if and when I display that collection.

Yup, they nest in each other and then the backings are separate pieces that stack to each other too. Everything came apart easy though, nothing was hard to pry apart or anything.

They sound and look like just what I'm after! I would possible be happy to cover the shipping costs to get these but I don't know if these would be open to import charges as well. I can't find any information on that and I'm waiting for a response from Zoloworld as well.

Hope they can help, I especially think the Retros need to be in at least some sort of case for long term keeping. A. because the cards are flimsier than Hasbro (zolo cases are great for that since they help keep the cards straight) and B. the holes in the bottoms of the bubbles, I would really worry about dirt and even small bugs getting in there over time.

Me too. Yeah, I completely agree, as soon as I got my hands on my first Retro I could feel a big difference compared to the Hasbro's. I hear the holes are in the bottom of the bubble to let the paint fumes out? I am concerned that the bubbles will just fall off over time with the Retro's after having one arrive with it partly off with no card damage. I wonder how many I'd need just to take care of the Retro cards? Could be 3 Series worth or it could be 12+! Hopefully the latter. |
