I've just started to collect the Black Series 6 inch figures in the UK. The prices of some of the earlier figures on the secondary market is crazy, really wish i'd started with these earlier as I have seen most figures in my local TRU over the past couple of years. I have found sellers on ebay that have them for sale at a reasonable price but they are all in Hong Kong and other areas in China. Some of the prices seem too good to be true, are the figures legit or le$hit?? Has anyone ordered any of these from China? The sellers have almost 100% positive feedback. Definitely agree, some of the prices are insane. I've seen them at A1 in the past year, never picked any up and I'm now really regretting it. I was tempted to get one of the Darth Mauls, I think they're only something like ten or eleven pound, but I was completely put off by the location because I was worried about the legitimacy of them, and whether they could be knock offs. When you compare the prices of the Hong Kong ones compared to ones based in the U.K, there's a big difference. There has to be a reason for that. Yeh i might just take a chance and order one. If its a knock off then i've lost a tenner. If its legit then its a bargain. |

Do Smyths price match with their website? Last time I was in the Leeds store the HoF Tito Santana was still £20.99 even though its been £13.99 online for some time now. Its not available to order online anymore so may pick it up next time I go in, but only if its same price as online. Normally prices are the same in-store and online (I can't think of any exceptions to this), maybe they just forget to sticker some of the figures, did you take it to the till and check? No I didnt take it to the till. Its not a figure high on my want list but if I can pick it up for £13.99 I dont want to miss it. All the ones on the shelf, and there were many, were priced at £20.99 I'll next be going in a couple of weeks when the next set of elites are due so will pick it up then |

Not really, if retail is between sets and there's nothing I want then I will scour ebay/classifieds to try and fill holes in my collection

Pre-ordered to the UK. Cheers for the heads up How did you manage to ship to the uk? For some reason it won't allow me to do it, argghhh, help would be greatly appreciated It only works on a desktop/laptop, for some reason it doesnt work on mobile phones. When the figures in basket theres a little USA flag which you need to click on and change to UK. Once you proceed to checkout then it should take you to the iparcel checkout and you can complete and pay. Hope that helps |

Got my Seth earlier today. Arrived in a such a huge box that weighed so little I had no idea what was in it until I opened it, even though I wasnt expecting anything else. I will have one happy little boy on Christmas morning now  Is that a tear at the top of your box? Did it arrive like that? Good eyes, i'd not noticed that. Yes it must have arrived like that. |

Cheers guys.
Theres been a few Austins out in the past 1-2 years and couldn't recollect if any had the RSE scan.
Might have to hunt down a loose RSE Austin on ebay for a headswap, but its gonna be an expensive swap.
Out of all my figures that had to be the one to get messed up.

My Ringside Exclusive Stone Cold Steve Austin has been in storage and there are some marks to his face which will just not remove, they are quite ingrained in the plastic. I think it has been pressed against another figure with a black cloth shirt and it has stained quite deeply over time.
Are there any other Austin figures that use the same scan as the RSE figure, as a head swap is the only way forward I think.
Cheers

ISIS should be wiped off the planet by whatever means necessary.
Absolute scum who have no regard for human life at all. They dont target political leaders or military bases or any 'legitimate' targets, they target aid workers, families on beach holidays, civilian aircraft, football stadiums, cafes, restaurants, concert halls, shopping centres etc... all to cause the maximum amount of carnage and death to innocent civilians.
Now I am sure our bombing raids will at some point cause civilian casualties in Syria/Iraq but we are not targetting them. ISIS have been known to store weapons, ammunition, fighters in schools and hospitals which just goes to show the type of people our Forces are dealing with.
We have always been targets of ISIS so any attacks in Britain would likely happen whether we were in Syria or not. I dread to think what kind of world my children and grandchildren will grow up in if they are not dealt with.
All the do-gooders would very quickly change their minds if their loved ones were victims in some mindless attack whilst out shopping in town or on a night out or on holiday. We are all targets to them.

I picked up Naomi, Warrior and Itami from TRU yesterday on 3 for 2.
They had the latest battle packs in too, really wanted J&J but they only had 1 left and Joey Mercury had big splats of paint on his bald head. So annoying!

Most of their stuff doesn't ship to the UK. How did Mizard order Rollins and Cena from the TRU website? Thanks You need to do it on a desktop, it wont work on mobile site. When you get to the order summary screen there will be a line in the middle allowing you to change the country for shipping and handling. Change the flag from US to UK.  When you proceed to checkout you will be taken to iparcel checkout screen if the items ship to UK. If the items you have selected dont ship to UK then there will be a message saying that. |

Just figured it out! When on the cart/checkout screen scroll down and change the flag/location to UK and then go from there. Order placed!!!! £19.73! Can't wait. Hope this helps peeps who are struggling. Cheers for this, this solved it for me. Once you change the flag from US to UK you get redirected to the iparcel payment screen instead of TRU My son wanted this Seth so bad for xmas so will be a nice surprise for him |

Quick question for you guys. The WWE Entrance Stage. What size tablet fits it? Or is it adjustable? Cheers It is adjustable but small ones look a bit odd in it. I have a 10.1 inch lenovo one which fits pretty perfect |
