its difficult to comapre...especially if u direct conver thte currency. I geuss it's considered alright in the UK.
So I usually try not to get retail stuff over here cos they cost too much. I try and get my friends in Malaysia to help me get em. But still no one can help me get individual dragons :(

travelling man is a comic store here in newcastle.....i know there's another in leeds, but apart from that i don't know if there are any more.
licking vega is a sota site exclusive i think.....and as for the sin city figures, i think i'll be cutting those out of the shopping list....with everything else i want to buy this year, there were gonna be some sacrifices.....first dragons, now sin city. :(
yikhaichan
03-29-2005, 03:24 PM
yep, green licking vega is a kotobukiya store exclusive if i'm not mistaken. in other words, a japanese online exclusive and is pretty hard to come by unless sota site puts it up. i'm a little hazy with all the sf variants, i only care for the main colours
as for cut marv, another difficult exclusive, have u tried following:
http://www.action-figure.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=14401&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

yeah' i am cutting down on buying so...only 2 dragons and maybe the boxset. no s27. onli marv from sincity. nothing much coming out from mcf this year that i want except for red riding hood. would be shifting some attetion to SIC as they are making the new ones based on the Kamen Rider (masked rider) series I watched. :D

yeah i heard green vega is a japan exclusive. sigh. i want that crazy licking face :p
I dont think sota will put it up. cos they will most prob put the other colour variant of vega...i think it's black.
yeah I tried ordering it from wizard preorders and the shippins was 54USD for groud!!! are they nuts?!! :eek: i had 6 figs packaged fedexed over for less than that.
any store locally gonna bring em in? I thought those comic shops would have some connection with wizard and would be able to bring some in....well here's to hoping then.

Dragons arrived in Cinema Store today.
Not out on the shelves yet, but they were coming off the truck as I went past. I'll drop in tomorrow and take a look. Probably won't pick any up at the usually grossly inflated CS prices, but I guess we should be seeing them in Forbidden Planet in the next week or two.
FP look to be clearing space for the ROTS stock. If anyone is interested, they have Galactica Vipers in again, back down at the marginally more sensible £9.99.

they had tonnes of those reborn stuff for 4.99 on the bay!
i wish my day was like yours. *sniff* but i was happy to get a water n komodo clan dragons back in malaysia...jus that i cant touch them now :( they usually sell figs in sets in Msia so to eliminate the thing called pegwarmers. so i was pretty lucky to get em individually.

Well, Dragons are showing up everywhere now. I have to say I'm very impressed with them. They look way better than I expected. I may end up getting them all (except the box set - I hate the sculpted flame). The detail is absolutely gorgeous.
Local comic store (They Walk Among Us, Richmond): £11.99 each. Box set - £22.99
Cinema Store seem to have made a judgement call on the relative values (as they often do) - the larger ones (Sorcerer and Eternal) are £14.99. The others are £11.99. Didn't see the box set.
Forbidden Planet - stacked up waiting to go out. No prices yet. I'll drop in after work and check again.
Cinema Store also have Sin City - £14.99 for B&W, £16.99 for colour. Probably only going to grab the girls in B&W to go with my Death Row Marv.
FP also has S27. Again, no prices as yet.

thanks for the report again and yeah the dragons didnt impress me in the earlier stages. When i saw em packaged i couldnt resist. excellent details! Cs pricing is so weird. cos eternal and fire is the one that is packed extra. hmm. i hate it when they do that to regular figures which are not even chase figures.

My experience at UK midnight madness....
I was a bit dissapointed and pissed....but was pretty satisfied too...
I went there around 10.30....The queue was still short, around 15-20 before me. I heard the first one was there at 6! :eek: So I took some pictures of the X-Wing which they claimed is life size, (but is obviously NOT) before I took my place in the queue. (the queue was around the corner at the far end of the building by opening and it was said that hundreds were there)
http://planet.time.net.my/CentralMarket/flickwensheng/trumm2.jpg
http://planet.time.net.my/CentralMarket/flickwensheng/trumm9.jpg
15-30 minutes before the opening some Stormtroopers and Darth Vader came out to take some pictures with the crowd. They were pretty entertaining. Boba Fett was ...ummm....slightly short.
http://planet.time.net.my/CentralMarket/flickwensheng/trumm1.jpg
http://planet.time.net.my/CentralMarket/flickwensheng/trumm3.jpg
And Dave Prowse the actor for Darth Vader from the original trilogy was there to officially launch the TRU midnight madness by cutting the ribbon with a light sabre. Red one...but plastic!?! Cant they at least give him a Master Replica one :mad:
http://planet.time.net.my/CentralMarket/flickwensheng/trumm4.jpg
So the stampede begins. It was pretty civilised, got pretty pissed a few guys who didnt queue jus walked right in looking smug and all. :mad: :spawnskul They were pretty organised only letting a set amount of people to the pegs each time. The pegs area for the toy was pretty small though. I was quite excited to see Unleashed there as I thought they were not going to release it tonight. The crowd was really in a buying frenzy, trolleys were filled, baskets were packed to the brim! these people really do buy! The staff at the Lego side of the pegs were pleading me to get some from his side LOL.
Saw the Holo Yoda on the pegs for 9.99 pounds. So I grabbed 2 figs and paid for em thinking that I was going to collect the freebies at the costumer service. Ask the cashier. she said yea ask the customer service. and they gave me my poster and t shirt. I was too excited and didnt realize that they didnt give me a yoda. When i went back to ask it was already sold out! grrrrrr :mad: Was pretty dissapointed. And they didnt wanna give me the Hasbro poster that shows all the figs...and I saw them giving it to another customer. Her excuse was that they are only for people who are not getting freebies? :confused: and the other women clearly did get free stuff. :mad:
Anyways enough about that. on to the happy stuff! :D
SO I didnt get the holographic yoda but I got this instead!
http://planet.time.net.my/CentralMarket/flickwensheng/trumm7.jpg
and a closer look
http://planet.time.net.my/CentralMarket/flickwensheng/trumm8.jpg
:D :D :D vader signed by the original vader. (ironically the toy is from ROTS without Prowse in it!)
And the freebies:
http://planet.time.net.my/CentralMarket/flickwensheng/trumm5.jpg
very cool lenticular (dont ask me, it's sorta 3D thingy) poster, a t shirt and a magazine.
Not bad at al.... :)
Here's the other fig I got:
http://planet.time.net.my/CentralMarket/flickwensheng/trumm6.jpg
All the unelashed was going for 12.99!!! I was expecting it at around 16.99. I coulda got this cheaper in Malaysia but....what the heck...it was well worth the occasion and all. It was so hyped my friend nearly got a master replica darth vader light saber for 80 pounds! :p
so yeah. all in all....pretty good night...except for the holo yoda and poster debacle. :spawnorb:

The Bolton store had loads of Yodas, three boxes full. You only have to buy to figures to get one though so they probably went really quick.
They were also selling them for £9.99 each.

Was down to the marketplace thingy yesterday. very dissapointed. Mostly comics. Saw the green lantern series for 9.50 each and marvel select doc ock for 12.50.
more new stuff at FP. the new justice league is in....around 15-16 quid. They are onli 10 quid at comic showcase, too bad they ran out of supes... and the Full Metal Alchemist figs are in too...too small for my taste. plastic looks slightly cheap. ROTS stuff out too. lotsa pregnant amidala. Unleashed grevious all gone.

04-04-2005, 02:58 AM
yeah, i was down at the marketplace also and it definately wasn't great, i had already got most of the gl that i wanted but i did pick up batman hush riddler for £5.
also went down to FP and pretty much saw what you saw, i still haven't seen full metal alchemist but they seemed ok, mayb a little expensive. the ROTS stuff looks pretty cool, £16.99 for unleashed isn't too bad but i didn't feel like shelling out that for anakin and obi wan just yet. i did go to comic showcase to mess around with their "try me" fx lightsaber replica, hehe

Maybe I've been jaded by the first two prequels, but I can't get excited about these figs. The only one I'm considering picking up is the Wheel Bike (and I've been put off that by multiple reports of the poor quality the GG fig that comes with it. Certainly not paying £26.99 for it at FP anyway!

Cool. i think its a cool set with the galactus and stuff. tempted to get the sentinel set but some of the sculpts are just not too cool to me. :o

stumbled across the black widow variant today in world's apart in liverpool for 12.99 so i bought it, (was 25.00 at forbidden planet), also saw ML 9 but didn't have the cash on me to get bullseye as well :(. Also if you've never been to the Krazy House in Liverpool i recommend it, great night out :D

nice hauls, guys. be sure to show us ur galactus when you get to construct it, graham. i think my first full set of marvel legends will have to be series X (sentinel series). nice black widow score, ukgaz!! the blone ones the better of the two, definately
also ariot, if you still want the Sin City Marv 7" Exclusive figure, try preordering it now from Forbidden Planet International (http://www.forbiddenplanetstore.com/). they are at £10.99 (+ about £2.75 for shipping). i preordered the kill bill crazy 88 director exclusive off them last year and they were pretty reliable even if i had to wait a LONG while. give it a shot if u want, better then getting slayed on shipping by wizarduniverse

i really liked marvel select when it started when it released some really good ultimate marvel figures but my local stopped getting them in so i didn't get ultimate hulk and ultimate venom which i ordered so i gave up. the phoenix one looks great, having second thoughts about not getting it from fp when i saw it...ah well

now, bring on ML10.....i want me a sentinel.
damn right but its feels like its taking forever...has anybody preordered their series 10?? i need to find a cheap place. on eBay, someones selling all series 9 for £65 + £10 p&p and hoping someone does that for series 10 if i there's no deals for full sets online
anyone noticed that people are starting to sell some parts for galactus on eBay for 50p - £1?? not a bad idea for those that can't be bothered to buy the whole set (e.g. me) and may still want the option of building a huge figure (though not a big fan of the big guy).
went to FP London today and a major disappointment. i hate being at home during the holidays, i always tend to miss a release of something good. i was hoping to find a ML Professor Xavier but all they had left was Deathlok, Grey Hulk and Chase Bullseye (at £24.99, yeah right...). damn, and it was supposed to be £8.99 according to the posters, its been a while since ML have been at that price in london (apart from manthing)
i did get:
DCD alex ross justice Superman (not from FP...£15.99 too hefty a price)
1 x Devil May Cry 2 KT trading figure (turned out to be Dante B)
2 weeks worth of comics

i hate how asian countries get figures so cheap, i'm from hong kong (well technically a British Born Chinese - BBC) and when i went to hong kong, the TRUs had Marvel Legends series IV at the time and i got them for about £5 each. here, double that. makes me so mad
i missed out of comic showcases cheap yet limited cases of Alex Ross Justice figures. last resort was Gosh! comics for £13.99, better then £15.99, i guess...
i got T Hawk on friday, great, huge figure, he towers over all the sf figures (shameful, sagat)

hha yeah asian countries do get em much wayy cheaper...blame the exchange rate mate. it's mad! 1 pound is 7ringgint. and a coke here is 1 pound a coke back home is 1 ringgit...so u do the maths.
where's gosh again? issit the one in the basement after Borders??

just got this today which one of my father's friend helped me import from japan. yep, its the SONY PSP (value pack). i ordered it off him about a month ago and i've been waiting patiently since, and its so beautiful. the only downside is he forgot to order the game that i wanted so i'm gameless at the moment. i did order a sony memory stick duo so i've been playing around with movies and images, converting them to the correct format and then seeing if they work. so far tried mp4 and jpg files and they work well
with the value pack, i got remote control and headphones for mp3 usage and movies i guess, 32Mb memory stick (i bought an extra 512Mb which i'm using), carry case and not much else. i didn't get a demo UMD or anything. and what annoys me even more is i ordered a game off some canadian site back on 28th March and it still hasn't arrived (shipped 16th April), ah well
also in the post yesterday, Tenjou Tenge Figure Series 2 gashapon, pictures say it all
also check FP today, the UK shipment of ML9 has officially been restocked once again, though they rigged the prices again. i got prof xavier for £10.99 and his wheelchair is indeed the movie version (the stamp on the bottom of it confirms it). still his kinda cool next to all the x-men ml i have.

cost me £100 for the value pack which is alot cheaper then it will be over here (the machine itself will cost £180 without the extras)
so far avex mode/kaiyodo have released 2 sets. figure series 1 were the pre posed ones, i got series 2 while series 3 will be micro bust style gashapon and aren't out yet. i got it for £15 including shipping from hong kong which is slightly expensive but you can hardly get gashapon over here anyway.

100 quid only?!?!???? thats a steal!
i think that comic shop does bring some gasha in dont they? yeah but they are quite uncommon here. 15 for whole set isnt really that expensive actually. i think back home we usully get the set for round 12 quid...depends on the hype of em though. i got my narutos for 10 though :D
do u have pics of the bust style one? I am just looking for something qulity and accurate. and cant afford the Bome figs :(

i'm still here, sorry, been too preoccupied with revision (1st exam on tuesday) and mucking around with my psp. finally got a game on thursday, METAL GEAR AC!D which is pretty cool, so different from the SOLID games. i should get the BLEACH game this week
definately planning on going to london film and comic con, i so wanna see charisma carpenter (shes the damn hot chick from buffy and angel) plus it looks better then those collector mart things which had no variety in good figures whatsoever
recently got:
Steal Jumper Batman (HUSH 3)
Professor Xavier (Marvel Legends)
T Hawk (Street Fighter)
and not much else

just checked out your hauls, atriot. awesome trigun figures, i too need to get Beyond the Grave. i watched Gungrave 1-26 last year as well as the completed the first game and i can't believe how i haven't tracked it down yet.
anyway need you guys opinions on the sin city figures. i'm planning on getting a couple but i'm hung up on which versions to get, the colour or the b/w versions. at the moment i'm swaying more towards the colour because a) they are in colour and b) the "bloodied" figure with severed head is in colour only (i think). maybe i should get the b/w versions and have the bloodied version stand out if forbidden planet happen to get them in?? i dunno
b/w got the BLEACH psp game, its rockin'

05-06-2005, 02:33 PM
yeah. gungrave is quite ahrd to come by. I was hearing about a reissue and some stuff. but still have not seen any. the only time I saw it in london at FP it was going for 50 quid!
bout sin city...well i geuss it depends if u are a completist. for me i will jsut get what looks good to me...not much about completing the set or coherency me. :D but I like the black n white on cos it was from a b+w comic and the movie is mostly B+W too...althought I prefer McF comic ver then neca movie ver. they are out in FP n cinema store. even 18" Marv.
also COnan 2 is out
yikhaichan
05-06-2005, 03:04 PM
yeah, saw most of them except nancy and both versions of the 18". i'm like you, i don't complete if i don't want to, only get what looks good. i'll try eBaying the sin city figs i want, just need to decide which ones.
as for gungrave, i saw it in FP as soon as it came out a year ago and £50 is not what i would pay for any figure. i'll keep an eye out in previews which always have them avaiable order if a reissue is available, i got the vash and wolfwood when they were rereleased so theres a good chance grave will be too
KITCH
05-06-2005, 03:14 PM
Oh man. I really hope that the Gungrave is reissued. I've wanted that figure for so long but I'm just not gonna pay stupid prices on ebay. I've seen it sell for about £80!!
Also I recently picked up Sin City (Colour) Marv, SF T Hawk (original).
Hopefully tomorrow (Saturday) I'll be heading to my nearest comic store and seeing what they have...I just hope they have re-stocked because last ime I went they had nothing apart form all the pegwarmers and a some damaged stock. :( But I found that colour Marv which was hidden In a corner . :)
Just ordered Pallentides and Xaulton the undead form FP aswell. I'm not really into Conan but those two I just had to get. The detail is amazing and they just look cool as hell!
Yeah Baby! :eek:

Free Comic book day? Really! Is it a real day where I can get stuff for FREE (if there participating)?
And yes T Hawk is a great detailed figure with a top notch paint job. I planned on getting Cammy last becasue of her man-crotch, ewww.

i saw nancy once. when they weere jus on the shelves...i think they were gone within a day. I am trying not to cave in to the hype as personally my honest opinion is that the facial accuracy is off (which hppens often in neca case)
let me know if u see iy any cheaper the gungrave.
I saw it for 30 quid in singapore n didnt get it. now i live with this regret for the rest of my life :(

bump, keep the UK thread alive
exams are such a drag, haven't had time to do much, though most of my time used has been feeled with procrastination instead of studying, still got 4 exams left, don't look good, don't look good....
anyway, went to fp yesterday after my exam and saw the High Dream Capcom VS SNK 2 figures. to my suprise they had all of the 4 that have been released so far (ryu, ken, kyo kusanagi and iori yagami). i picked up KYO and for £8.99, i really like it. its 7 inch scale so an inch bigger then SOTA SF but some of the articulation points are stunning. this shoulders are actually ball pointed but are hidden really well under a rubber coat. at first glace, they look like cut joints so thats what amazed me
today, i finally found ROTS clone commander at woolworths. lucky because i thought 'd never find it at retail. i haver said that i'd never buy a 3 3/4 inch figure again but any of the clone troopers from AOTC, Clone Wars and ROTS are just too cool not to get
have fun, guys

:mad: Dam that's annoying, the FP in Middlesbrough had High-Dreams Ryu and Ken priced at £12.99 each....still had to buy them though :D They didn't have Kyo and Iori when i was there, but that was last month some time.
I'm in the middle of a figure drought. The only figures i've been buying are the SOTA SF ones and the occasional Spawn figure. Maybe it's a good thing, i'm seriously running out of room as it is. I dedicated the top half of one of my bedroom walls to the SOTA SF figures, but that's full already and it's only into series 2 :eek: 20 figures for 2 series of figures, insane.

went to see star wars epi III yesterday, twas okay. i ruined it for myself by reading the comic adaptation so i wanted to skip alot of the scenes just to get to see how well choreographed(sp?) the lightsaber fights were. i wasn't disappointed, nick gillard does some good work (apart from darth sidious' lightsaber plunges, what was that about??) anyway r2-d2 and yoda stole the show, some funny moments from them both and i wish they'd reanimate episodes iv-vi with the cgi yoda.
i went to claim my free poster from odeon leicester sq today and the one guy gave me a poster but forgot to sign my collection form so i went to box office to get them to sign it for me and the guy behind the counter decided to check out if they had any others for me. turns out they only had the anakin vs kenobi posters and he let me keep it so now i have two, so anythings cool when its free
not much happening figurewise, i need to get snk vs capcom iori soon before they go but other then that, waiting for some good stuff to come out like sf series III and marvel legends sentinel series. btw, if any of you are into manga, head down to blackwells book store, theres one down by charing cross road, close to shaftesbury avenue. they have a 3 for 2 sale which includes all manga which i happily took advantage of
btw heres a look at the good shiat i've seen recently, the marv is from sin city series 2, the b/w of the wizard universe unbandaged version

hey, i was wondering where all you guys went
yeah, resident evil figures rock, hard. i've only just won resident evil 4 on eBay yesterday so hopefully i get to play some living dead action soon. just to throw this in for good measure:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/yikhai/Action%20Figure%20Collection/repalisades.jpg
i'm still looking for the standard sf series II cammy. i'm not into variants. i have seen a couple on eBay but i'll wait a bit longer, i need to lay easy on my bank account. only 2 ioris left?? there were only two on monday. hopefully they get more in, i can't find alot of them on eBay
EDIT: just saw that you won the SF Cammy i was *watching* on eBay atriot, good haul and good price (u damn b@$*@%£ ;))
nice cheap hauling UKGaz, i wish i had a toymaster close to me. i don't know of any toymaster for that fact...
and my haul today dubbed Star Wars Day. figures from local Woolworths, finally found some early ones in mass market retail and dvds came in the post. now with my receipt and cinema stub, i can get £7.50 cashback, nice!
anybody notice that the #1 Obi Wan Kenobi is holding his Attack of the Clones lightsaber but comes with the seperate Revenge of the Sith lightsaber?? he didn't have the AOTC style one in the movie did he??

05-28-2005, 12:34 PM
atriot, you lucky mofo. if i didn't have a vega, i'd be hunting you down.
as for obi wan, i'm not sure if it was a case of reuse parts or just plain error. its clear to me that the one molded on to the right hand is his AOTC one because it my fav. lightsaber design. i dunno, i just thought it was weird. my 3 3/4" star wars display is coming along nicely. i know i said i'd never buy another but the clone troopers make it too tempting

i have no idea how to get to london TRU, is it the new kent road one?? how do you get there? i'm not too interested in vehicles because i wouldn't know where to put them. i could hang them but it seems too much hassle.
thanx for the RE lookout, i've been looking and they tend to go over £15 excluding shipping

nono. it's the brent cross one. Do you know brent cross shopping centre. it's accross the road from the centre....i think either cinema store or FP should have it at around 15 pounds....

u should try any TRU...cos the one here is usually rubbish too...but they had the masterfx light saber and unelashed....so no harm trying. if u cant...i might be having a lok=ng wlak to the brent cross one this coming week again.

thanx atriot, yeah, i have those two already. the second one is the moby d!ck figures from japan, i've never taken a photo of them...
i wish i could get to a tru more easily, maybe if i learn the route between my home and lakeside or one opens up in the industrial area i live in with all the megastores etc etc. if you post the day before you go to brent cross, i'll let you know if i need the unleashed mustafar set and i can meet you up in london one day in the coming weeks and pay you by cash so you won't need to worry about shipping
thanks man, much appreciated

05-29-2005, 03:52 PM
yeah. i saw a Nosferatu for 7 quid on the bay if u are interested...what are moby **** figures? those are pretty expensive two pack ones arent they? do show us some pics if u have time. cheers.
yeah i will let u know if I drop by TRU this week....i am just fraid if they only have anakin left..without obi wan. i've seen that happen in some palces..but it seems weird cos they work best in a set.
yikhaichan
05-29-2005, 04:55 PM
there you atriot, yeah they were sets of two up to about volume 5 before they converted to singles as they were cheaper in theory. they're japan imports hence the price. i've never paid more then £20 for a set and even found a set for less then £5 in hong kong tru because the box was worn down but figures were intact. having said that, that exact figure took a dive and decapitated itself, so now re3 jill valentine has a permantely supergluedneck. i threw in the re nemesis mini bust pic for good measure, it came out pretty well :)

thanx for the lookout atriot, i have nosferatu as well. if theres only one half of the mustafar set, thats ok, i'll try and cheaply eBay the other or if i'm desperate, fp/cinema store/hamleys it. i'll keep you posted on my decision

thanx guys, don't worry about the last picture, it was an error in my post, there should be 4 images in total. i did have an image of most of the series from an old japanese toy show which had them in a base with metal grated flooring, like a stage from metal gear solid where the human characters were aiming at the creatures, it looked pretty cool but i can't remember where i put it, i'll try and dig it out
the airsoft gun is pretty cool but it seems to good to be true, it was going for 10 times that amount when it first came out and i don't know the legal restrictions about shipping a gun from US to UK. i'd rather get an fx lightsaber, that won't get me in trouble

just saw how the mods have cleaned this board up and am so grateful they left this thread intact, w00h00
anyway, i've been cleaning up during bank holiday weekend and i've accumulated so much crap that i just won't use so this summer its back to eBay and maybe a boot sale towards the end of august. not much figure wise but i'm gonna sell a few dragonball z figures such as the some unifive trading figures series 4 doubles that i have as well as an if labs ss3 goku 9 inch figure MIB. i'm gonna put a mcfarlane soul calibur II necrid towards the boot sale if noone wants him. i've only removed him from the box once for a review i did for michael crawford but all twisties are there and its been sitting in a cupboard all this time.
i'm keep you posted for when i put something on eBay which should be next week
off to central london 2morro to hopefully pick up either capcom vs snk iori or a sin city figure, whichever is available, has anyone picked up anything sin city yet??
atriot_vl
05-31-2005, 11:29 AM
so are u getting a fx lightsaber? they seem to be pretty reasonable these days...the new ones I mean...around 89 quid including shipping....i saw the old vader one at TRU for 89 too.
yah...i am glad they left this thread too....i was myself considering closing it...since only both of us are chatting away usually :( i dont know if anyone visits ... or if they are just lurking taking advantage of the sightings.... :( but however small hope there is...i think we should still carry on. :D
what's a boot sale? where is it? let me know how much u want for that necrid. i am an opener (most of the time :p) anyways so if its cheap i will jus take it.
good luck. hope u get the Iori. There's still sin city in FP...but no more Nancy....dont bother at cinema store...:(
oh i should be taking a trek to TRU tomorrow. should i get the unleashed for you if i see any? LMK
also u might be interested in this....but the cards are damaged....

i hope this thread doesn't get locked, most uk figure threads are literally dead where noone ever replies to any of my posts, its frustrating.
atriot, yeah if you could help me find mustafar obi wan vs anakin at tru if they are £12.99 each, i'd be very grateful. that auctions tempting but its still got 5 days left and i'm already bidding on alot from eBay as it is. if you do find them, we could set up a later date to meet up in london and i can pay cash as i said before.
as for scII necrid, i'd say £3.50, is that ok?? heres some shots:

well interestingly enough with the addition to captain britain to the ultimates, his involvement in the an upcoming uncanny x-men and also a uk exclusive version of spider-man with him in it actually being reprinted for US audience, he seems to be gaining some interest. ml series xi is fairly obscure characters so maybe just maybe, they'll release one in the next coming series
an avengers set i would like, i heard it being hinted but nothing concrete. new avengers or ultimates i would preferr but any new boxset outside of spider-man would be a bonus.

walking comic encyclopedia?? nowhere near, although i do get far too much a month, i might need to get back to reality and cut down. but if i do that, i'd just play more video games, which is equally as distant to relaity as ever. btw, i hate bank holiday aftermaths because the post office takes its time, i'm still waiting for resident evil 4..grrr
