Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[BigTransformerTrev]

Anyone know:

1. Whether the Shockwave figure that comes with the SDCC 'Shockwaves Lab' is the Voyager size?

2. Does the Hasbro Toy Shop online (unlike TRU) deliver overseas?

If the answer to both is yes seriously considering getting the Shockwave's lab for $50 since I can't seem to find a Voyager SHockwave anywhere else.

1,YES!!
2, no. you need an american credit card/billing address and american shipping address.

I had a friend allow me to purchase with his US credit card and have shipped to his place last year both bruticus and CJ but I can't ask him to do that with metroplex, it's too big. I felt bad knowing he'd brought Bruticus back as carry on when I saw how big that box was. metroplex is too big.

Cheers for that UM. Hmmmm, I've got a couple of American friends, but right now I have them combing TRU stores (unsucessfully so far) for MP SW so don't really want to impose more by asking them to use their own credit card. Will have to meditate on the issue

Don't forget that Shockwave's Lab is doing the same as Metroplex, and getting released as a Asia Exclusive with a different number as well.

So you need to ask if you want 2 of 30 or X of 30 in your collection

What about using a Paypal account. Can you get around it that way? I have an address to ship it to (wish I had done that before SW became available) but have decided against asking for someone to use their credit card on my behalf.

I don't mind as long as I can get one. $50 isn't too bad a price, on TFSource and BBTS they had it for $90 and both have already sold out

[UltraMarginal]

it looks like you might be able to use paypal, that is cool. you still need an american address to ship stuff to.

It is USD $83 before shipping, but it might be something worth keeping in the back of your mind

And it looks like BBTS have SDCC back on preorder after cancellations. 2 available

I'd happily pay that price if I had...

BAH! I got an american friends address, jumped through all the hoops but because my paypal is an aussie address (the paypal is the au one) they turned me down at the final gate! Grrrrrr! They even had BH Deluxe Smokescreen and Dreadwing that I wanted!

WHY WONT THE AMERICANS TAKE OUR MONEY!?!?! DIDN"T WE SUPPORT THEM IN A BUNCH OF USELESS WARS A WHILE BACK? AND THIS IS HOW THEY REPAY US!?!?!
