When the Man of Steel toys start coming out, I’m planning on buying a couple of DC’s action figures - one from Mattel, one from DC’s own line. Being in the backwater of Australia I don’t have a reliable local source, so this means the internet. Is there a good US seller with low shipping, like the ones that exist for books and wargaming?
If memory serves, I think the guy who runs actionfigureblues.com is an Aussie. Could contact him, and see what he recommends?
Thanks for the lead. He’s got an ad for a Melbourne comic store on his webpage, so it looks like you’re right. If he can’t help, I can always buy straight from DC’s website.
No trouble at all. Happy to help out a fellow collector!
Huh. Since they’re all made in China, you’d think getting them in Australia would be easier since it’s closer, wot?
Maybe there wouldn’t be a problem if I was living in Sydney, but there’s only one toy store and a bunch of department stores within a reasonable driving distance. They’re bound to stock the Man of Steel figure when the movie comes out (two weeks after the US :rolleyes:), but it would take a four hour round trip before I’d have any confidence in finding the Arkham City toys. It’s easier to just buy both from the same place.
Shame we can’t torrent the figures like we do the movie within a few hours of it coming out ;-), well not me of course…
