Any United Kingdom collectors receive their MotUC figs yet?

**Minion** · January 12, 2010, 11:10am

Between Xmas, New Ywear and the weather i'm not expecting December's toys anytime soon. As long as they're here by the end of Jan i'll be happy.

**Dragonbait** · January 12, 2010, 03:51pm

Geez im receiving package's from ebay on every week, and i have hope that anoder will be the Skeletor...

I wanted him before new figures will be avaible on 15th this month, beacose i want to be sure that the package will certainly come to me with no problems :/

And now im not convinced to buy Man-at-Arms... Sad

You guys noticed the parcel was sent from Germany as a priority parcel? I think what happens is DR is sending those figures by ship that's why it takes so long to get here and then they sort them out in Germany and send them from there to all Europe buyers.. Hence the ridiculously long delivery times. There is no other explanation, if it was International mail then it would be sent via plane and be here in 7-10 days.. That's the usual delivery time from US sellers to UK for me when I buy stuff from eBay..

hhm, I don't know. When they arrive in Germany it always says they were going via Auckland, New Zealand. If they do that way in a container on some ship, I am sure that would take even longer than the long time we are waiting for it.

I am sure they are sent via plane but why it takes so long?...no idea.

Received my Re-issue Skeletor and the Flying Stands this morning (12th).

I took a gamble and had them sent in the same box. I didn't have any customs charges. Not sure whether that's because I was lucky, or because the cost of the contents was low enough.

Still waiting on the Goddess and Randor. Anyone else get anything today?

**tmc1984** · January 12, 2010, 07:41pm

still waiting for my king randor ...

**Dragonbait** · January 13, 2010, 02:21am

If in Europe they ship packages form Germany... well Poland borders Germany in the west, then I would get it first, beacose this is VERY close... but i dont have Skeletor yet...

THIS... IS... INSANE!!!

**Squid** · January 13, 2010, 02:47am

The last two months have been sloooow!

Up untill Scareglow the figs arrived here in Denmark within 25 days.
Now they take more than 30 days ... well, the King and Goddess
still have a chance at making it before the release of the new set of figs,
but still ... it's a drag to wait this long!

Well done Neil! I wasn't expecting it to arrive "so soon" considering I received my November figures just this Saturday the 9th!

I had 4 figs in one box and also have been spared the Tax pain but I won't risk it again

**leevil-lyn** · January 13, 2010, 05:43am

Is anyone else in the UK still waiting on their re-issue He-Man? My Scareglow came pretty quickly, but He-Man hasn't arrived yet.

I an usually more than patient, but am a bit worried about placing an order on Friday, when my figures from the order - 2 orders ago - still have not successfully arrived???

**sgmilne** · January 13, 2010, 06:09am

I wonder how long it will be till somebody actually receives Randor? How late on in January last year did Skeletor start showing up? It didn't seem like too long a wait.

**MastersOfTheUK** · January 13, 2010, 06:54am

Recieved my King Randor and Godess today, both in the same package as I combined them this time instead of ordering seperate and there were no customs fee's or anything.

Excellent!

Brilliant news Master. Glad you got yours early doors, for a change

.
Hopefully that means everyone elses will start trickling through now.

**Motorthing** · January 13, 2010, 08:19am

OK game on......who's going to be last this time? No bet it'll be me.....

**Eamon** · January 13, 2010, 08:39am

That's good news that Randor and Goddess are starting to show up.

Good news mate, good on ya!

On a side note, hoping to knock "The Green Army" out of the cup tonight, so maybe a bit of good news for me today too eh!

**RocketPunch** · January 13, 2010, 10:06am

Got Skeletor and Goddess today, no customs charge.

I ordered Randor separately a few days later, so he's not arrived yet.

That shouldnt be too hard. You could probably round up a few mates, get wasted and knock them out of the cup yourselves, they are shyte!

**VaultsofGrayskull** · January 13, 2010, 05:38pm

Goddess, Randor and Skeletor figures arrived today and no Customs charges. That's two packages in a row without the extra cost - will it last?

I'm surprised to have received the figures before ordering the next ones - under four weeks' delivery hasn't happened for months for me!

**Rodster6** · January 13, 2010, 08:42pm

The people who usually get them late seem to be getting them early this time. Hope that doesnt mean the people who usually get them early get them late now lol.

**Motorthing** · January 14, 2010, 06:47am

It sure seems that way - Randy is here! That's Randor singular as in the Sub package - Goddess and RandorII are presumably shacked up in Customs waiting for the ransom note to get to me.

He's not my fav character so he's OK at best as a figure but it sure makes a nice change NOT to have to wait until last. Sorry Guys.

**Woodland Warrior** · January 14, 2010, 07:02am

Randor and the Goddess in Edinburgh before Januarys figures go sale.That's more like it digital river!
Randor was sub and was posted 2 days before Goddess but both arrived together this morning. Must be the German efficieny. Any chance on that European distribution centre?????
Cool figures. Paint jobs are great on both. Love Randor's bushy beard.

**RocketPunch** · January 14, 2010, 07:13am

My Randor got here today too. That was a lot faster than I expected.

Great news RocketPunch. Whereabouts in Scotland are you based?
