Theres:

forbiddenplanet.co.uk

forbiddenplanet.com

theres also play.com

But best for UK customers is onesixthbruce.co.uk!

 

[Centrocal]

Best prices for UK collectors

https://www.onesixthbruce.co.uk/index.asp

Also

https://www.alteregocomics.com/

These guys ship product before everyone else, but when you place an order they temporarily charge your card to make sure you have funds

https://www.toys2.net/

 

[Crimsonbob]

I use https://www.onesixthbruce.co.uk and nobody else anymore.

Other sites are

https://www.play.com

play.com is very expensive nowadays though.

https://forbiddenplanet.com

FP.com is quite pricey as well.

https://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk

FP.co.uk is pricey and dont use a credit card use paypal.

Alternatively theres ebay, but customs are getting good at spotting sellers now so you might get caught out and end up paying a small fortune extra.



(edit) damn we all posted at the same time lol.

https://www.onesixthbruce.co.uk is the best by far and breakersrevenge from onesixthbruce is also a member here on the boards

My first HT figure on hand was Two Face. I had pre-ordered the Batman Dark Knight with my LCS and they just happened to have a 30% sale going and I was able to get the figure for $90. Up to this day I love the head sculpt on this figure. Since then I've gotten 8 other figures and currently have 4 others pre-ordered. Most of the figures are from the IronMan series.

Getting the Superman Reeve will Cap my Hot Toys and Superman collection.

Hot Toy figures are the most expensive of my collection, I usually just collect DCUC figures. The quality and level of detail of HT figures justifies the price range for me. Considering that 12 inch quality statues are ranging from 175.00 to 250.00 and they are static figures, unlike HT figures which sometimes surpasses in detail even these statues.

Still shelving out an average of 175.00 per figure limits my choices.

A great man once said, "marrage is punishment for shop lifting in some countries"!

Thanks for the bday wishes chaps!

A mighty fine long weekend filled with Hot Toys (and booze).
Perseus, Whiplash and Space Adam.
It's a bit much becuase I dunno where to divert my attention.

Whiplash is actually what I call a grower. In that I he wasn't a mega priority but now i have him, I love him. Really badass looking figure.
Perseus is just great!

Space Adam though is utterly amazing!!!

Happy belated birthday Eamon

I would recommend T2 Arnie or a Predator for your first but do you have a list of preferences?

 

[Calcifer]

Speaking of T2 Arnie ..i have more then enough funds to finally get one ..should i pick one up now or wait for the new wave to hit, could the new batch of these figures have any improvements i wonder??

Just out of curiosity... what needs improving?

And I would snag one while I can!

I have heard some people mention that something weird was up with his eyes/stare ...how much was this guy originally? ..people seem to be selling him for $180ish ..thats a fair price right?

I got him through OSB for £145.

Depending on shipping and tax $180 would be fair.

Good figure.

Didn't notice anything wrong with the eyes on mine. But he has the shades on any way.
