Hi. I tried searching for a similar, recent thread but couldn't find one. As UK collectors I was wondering how you go about getting hold of the Target/Walmart exclusives here in the UK? I really want to get the recent Jim Neidhart elite but they're ridiculously expensive on eBay. Is it a pipe dream that I should give up on? I know TRU used to get some but that's gone now

One of the easiest ways to get it without going the eBay route is to use the classifieds on here (Once you get to 50 posts on here it opens up the classifieds). Another good place is Facebook, there's plenty of groups dedicated to buying and selling figures so that's another option.

If you don't want to pay over the odds for them, you could just wait until they turn up in TK Maxx or Home Bargains or something.

For ones like Monsoon, I bought one on eBay US, had it sent to a MyUS shipping address, and then had it shipped to me. Not ideal and expensive, but that's one way of doing it.

Cheers for the tips! Home bargains, Smyth's, and B&M are my go to places currently. Purchasing online can be a bit of a nightmare due to shipping and handling fees, can't it?! Tough one to explain to the Mrs 😂

Tough one to explain to the Mrs 😂 I’m going to the US for WrestleMania, if you want to get any loose figures shipped to my hotel I can post them to you when I get back. I’m not sure id have room for stuff in packaging though (and the journey in a suitcase would probably damage the packaging a bit).
