Hi guys, Does anyone on here have the Imaginext Batcave and/or Gotham City Jail playsets? My son just got these for his birthday from his grandparents, and opened up all the boxes at their house. He left the boxes and instructions there, and as i'm trying to set up both playsets I am left with one piece that I have no idea what it is or where it goes!! I don't even know which set it is for. Any help is appreciated, cheers.

Customs charges seem really hit and miss, you may get lucky.
I've ordered loads of stuff from the USA over the years, and only ever had a customs charge when I ordered the Mattel Elimination Chamber playset last year. Paid £60 for it and got a £27 customs fee.
A couple of months ago I ordered the full Elite 16 set from RSC, which cost me £120 and came in a large box. It was delivered without any customs fees.
Fingers crossed for you.

My Mattel Sin Cara Collection. I also have the Elite 18 & The Mustard Jacket E15 Cara on the way and yes, the two Basics are different. The one on the left is the Hunico Cara from 2P15 and the one on the right is original Sin Cara from Basic Series 18 That looks very nice! I don't even have a Sin Cara figure yet... The basic is different? One is Hunico the other one is the original? Both the figures look exactly the same... I think the only difference between the 2 basic blue Sin Caras is the design on the back of the mask. From the front they are identical.

Thats a pretty good price for Vince. I paid a little more than that for him off some guy in the US when it first came out.
I think I may hold off buying a COO Triple H now in case WW get some in down the line.
Went to Bradford TRU today, not really expecting much. They had all of Elite 16 (except Nash of course), a ton of recent 2-packs and the Global Superstars Basics. Its the first Elite series i've seen in my TRU since E14, they skipped E15 for some reason.
I picked up Basic Natalya and Yoshi Tatsu, plus another Elite 16 Punk for my son's bday. These are the first figures i've bought in quite a while, not really been interested in them lately.
Getting the bug back tho now!

Once the Legends disappear from Matty, do you think they will stock the display stands? I will still continue to buy these for display, will suck if they are unavailable in the future.

No idea what customs would have charged, i was only going by what others on here have been charged in the past, could have been as much as £40.
Ive not had to wait compared to retail, but i think wrestlingworld have had them a while.
But i cant complain about this order from start to finish, good price and well packaged. All arrived MOC quality, which you dont always even get from UK sellers.

Some loose pics. I really like the Zeke figure, probably the hidden gem of the set for me. I actually like the Orton fig too, once his shirt is on it looks pretty cool, although any kids that have this to play with will have a job getting it on and off all the time. Slater is ok, i'm not a fan, but he comes with a ladder Yes the Rocks goatee is pap, will we see a decent molded one? Maybe, although he has shaved it off now so you never know. I prefer this shirt out of the 2 he comes with, and i've added a spare pair of track pants. I'm a little underwhelmed by the Punk fig, not sure why. I think when I pre-ordered I had it in my head that this would be my favourite from the set, until I opened up Nash and Diesel. I love these figures. I've added an elbow pad to Nash, he will display nicely with nWo Savage, and I hope we see more nWo figures down the line. The flash has exaggerated the skin tones on Diesel, you can't really notice it in person but it is there. Overall a good solid set, with the added bonus of a 7th figure. I'm so glad I don't have to hunt down Nash at retail (if it ever hits the UK) or paying top dollar on ebay. I can put that cash to buy the COO Triple H figure which I will have no choice but to pick up online. Cheers for looking.

A very happy chappy today. Received my RSC back-order of E16, and wasn't charged any customs fees on top which I thought I would do to the UK. I will definately be using RSC again in the future. Just opened these up now for a quick look and they are awesome. I'm really impressed with the Nash/Diesel figures. I really like the big Zeke figure too, its huge. I'll post some loose pics later when i've had chance to open them all up.

Received my full back-order set of Elite 16 from RSC today. Completely amazed I got no customs charges. So even though i've had to wait a while I've managed to get the full set of 7 for only £124 shipped. I'm impressed, I will definately give RSC another go in the future (until I eventually get stung by customs!).

Awesome collection.
It would be funny as hell to put that Regan model in someones bed for a prank. Would scare the crap out of them!

This figure is a no-brainer.
Its Stone Cold. With shiny AE title. And shiny Smoking Skull Belt.
Take my money.

I love these figures.
They look awesome MOC.
I display loose and was gutted when my DM Triple H had such loose ankles that no way could I get it to stand up. Ended up giving it to my son to play with and i'll pick up another somewhere down the line.

I hope Mattel doesn't disappoint with this, really looking forward to seeing what it looks like.
Hopefully i'll be able to pick one up online.

I'll be picking this up for sure.
Will wait for Tully to get the second belt though, and then they will be displayed on Demolition.

Still nothing decent at Bradford TRU - pegs rammed with old 2-packs, and a half-full case of MVP/Henrys and Taker/Batistas on the floor that they had no room for.
I'm well jealous of everyone finding Elite 15 and the BOPPV basics.
Sill no joy in my local Argos with Basic 19.
