Action figures within the EU / Forbidden Planet

Action figures within the EU / Forbidden Planet

Post by Obfleur » Fri Mar 30, 2007 1:03 pm

I need a Batman figure.

But where can I buy one? I wanna order from a store that is located within the EU.

Hit me with all you've got!

Also: When I go to Glasgow I can go to a Forbidden Planet store. Is this store okay? Are their prices super high? Would you recommend it? etc.

FP are normally fairly decent for toy prices, so long as it's a domestic release... sometimes a little bit on the more expensive side, but generally okay.

Imported stuff they charge the absolute world for, though.
Grrr. Argh.

Decent prices are awesome, since I'll have to pay shipping and **** if I order from an online store.

What is that figure you need? I can look around in the stores, Batman and The Batman toys are numerous.

I'm mostly interested in the The Dark Knight Returns figure/figures (Batman, The Joker, Robin, Superman, etc) - and the Justice League figure/figures (Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, The Flash, etc).

Are they available where you are?

The store's okay, a lot better now than it used to be. They have a pretty wide stock of action figures but the emphasis is on the newest waves - older stuff gets discounted and flogged off either through the store or sidemarkets pretty quick. I have no idea what Batman stuff they have but I can have a look before you come over if you want, if you don't get the fig you're after before then.

The prices are as Brend says, some stuff is ordinary to decent, other things are far too dear.
