:eek4: Roughly $1,800 US shipped. I must save this link for when I get called crazy.


edit: It's $1,800 shipped to the UK. Tack on another $100 or so for the US...

This is a little less, but I don't know how their reputation is. I think I found that site way back in the beginning of this thread.

Problem with Supercow is that they are trying WAY to hard to copy and undercut other places that they aren't making their own identity. If you really look at stuff like I do, he's almost a carbon copy of JRS Toyworld. You might as well call Supercow, JRS Lite or JRS Toyworld Part Deux.

I only order from JRS Toyworld and BBTS. They are the 2 top dealers for Transformers products on the internet bar none.

They do not charge your credit card for preorders, they package things so they arrive in the same condition they left. BBTS got rid of his flat rate shipping, yet JRS Toyworld still ships anysize order to continental US addresses for $5.99.

I'm in Illinois as well so I have to pay the 6.5% sales tax, yet its more they worth it with the care and speed they get their orders out.

TF Source is a very good honerable mention, yet they don't take credit cards. When it comes to preorders, I only preorder from places that take credit cards and don't charge you until the items ship. So that leaves out Digital Toys and TF Source who really break the Paypal user agreement by taking payment for items that they will not be able to ship out with in the 7 days of payment. Someday it will catch up with them.

So stick to JRS & BBTS for the best service available.
