As such - my main concern is my Club Eternia sub!!

Has anyone in the UK had any success in changing addresses on their account and if so any tips on the best way to get it sorted?

I'm planning on changing the address to my parents so there will be no worry about delays etc - I just wanted to get it sorted before King Hsss/Panthor/BA Skeletor so I thought get it done as early as possible.

All help greatly appreciated.

I moved last year. The Matty web site stated that you had to phone if changing address, so I did. Despite the obvious translation issues of a Scottish guy talking to an American guy everything was cool. It all went smoothly, although it was too late for Chief Carnivus and he was sent to my old address. However, the royal mail re-direct saved my bacon there.

So I would phone them and pay for a months Royal Mail redirect in case Hsss etc are sent to your old address. Hope that helps.

That's really helpful - many thanks. I'm sure I'll have the same translation issues when talking to them!

Long waits again.. hopefully not caused by customs and excise (though I bet it is...)

**Eamon** · March 2, 2011, 10:28am

Oh I fear we are gonna get screwed good and proper this time with at least 3 figures on the way.

**Angel-T** · March 2, 2011, 11:30am

Very true....I am getting ready to be stung badly by HM customs when Febuary arrives. I have no intrest in the shadow beast, but he is cool looking I suppose. I want all the other beasts this year, so I won't mind the charge quite so much when it's them comming through the door.

**tmc1984** · March 2, 2011, 01:48pm

i'm waiting for bow, shadow-beast, pre-ternia he-man etc. ...

think i'm definitly not for subscribing next year ... there's too much stuff coming out that i don't actually want, and then wait around to be charged for! ...

Sell them on ebay and make your money back.

Every time I get an extra figure that I decide I do not need, I sell on. You make at least a fiver profit and that adds up.

**Angel-T** · March 2, 2011, 02:10pm

You really make a fiver profit? I have an entire set to sell (bar the beasts). Iv'e been keeping doubles for the past two years but stopped after Buzz Off. I wanted to sell them as a lot, thinking someone would like the chance to catch right up in one swoop. But the MOTUC figures on ebay UK don't seem to be moving for much over the price we pay once you factor in postage and the customs fees most of us have paid over the last two years, some even going at a loss like Randor frequently does. You are doing well dude if you can make a fiver after all the costs you lay out.

**Eamon** · March 2, 2011, 02:23pm

Well your figure is 18 quid shipped right and on average, I sell most MOTUC's for 23.

Tho these are MIB I am talking about!

i've actually been selling them on the boards here to be honest ... managed to get rid of all the un-wanted ones so far ... just could do without the customs charges for things i didn't want in the first place ...

**Angel-T** · March 2, 2011, 04:09pm

My figures come in at around 21 quid when I seem to read the statement once the card has charged me their fee, I guess my credit card company is doing me as well. LOL £23.00 seems fair of a MOC MOTUC figure, what price do you usually charge for postage, I have never posted a MOTUC figure in the UK so I wouldn't have a clue what to charge.

**robaczek** · March 2, 2011, 06:43pm

Just take it to tge post office and ask them ;-) That's what I will do with Shadow Beast when I get him..

**byinfernoslight** · March 3, 2011, 07:29am

There's a list of prices on the royal mail website. You just need to know the weight of the item.

If anyone has a spare Shadow beast for sale for a reasonable price I'd be interested.

**Angel-T** · March 3, 2011, 11:03am

I got a white mailer bag today with all my items and no customs charges. I hope everyone else gets them without any charges. Bow is all kinds of cool and the Etheria map is quite nice.... I'm a happy She-Raver! :0)

**Eamon** · March 3, 2011, 11:06am

oh wow!! You lucky!!

Hope were all as lucky.
How many items did you order, just the subscription items?

**Jubilation** · March 3, 2011, 11:17am

My Bow arrived today and he really is a fantastic figure. No sign of Shadow Beast yet but the bigger figures always take a bit longer to turn up.

Just the sub figures and the sub exclusive.

Sweet! With any luck then this will happen to most subscribers, here's hoping anyway.

**oICEMANo** · March 3, 2011, 06:34pm

Still waiitng for my Vikor down here in SA

**byinfernoslight** · March 3, 2011, 06:38pm

Parents are visiting tomorrow & bringing January's figures. Knowing my luck Feb's will arrive at their house 10 minutes after they leave.

**Havoc** · March 4, 2011, 03:32am

Yay! Mine just arrived with no charge. Hooray for the white mailer sack!

It looks like the part of the sticker that the valuation would have been on was torn off so Im not sure if that explains it, but hopefully everyone will be as lucky, and fingers crossed for next month!
