Thanks for the heads up mate. I will make it one day more for the meeting up with other fans than looking at toys.

Has anyone seen the Megabloks Blindbags in anywhere other than Smyths?

Party Wagon reduced to £15 on Amazon UK.

I hope so as nearly went ahead and ordered the 4 classic turtles, bebop + rocksteady and the krang set from TRU USA yesterday for just over £100 but they didn't have Raph in stock so have held off for now

You'd probably be better off having someone stateside grab them for you in-store, they're pretty notorious for destroying the stuff they ship.

I really want to order the Krang set on Amazon, but the high shipping costs are holding me back for now.

Can't say no at that price and that's including prime next day delivery!

Hey guys,
I was in the local Toy Barnhaus yesterday (Croydon) and they had all the dimension X figures.
They definitely had all 4 turtles, loads of fugitoids and a couple of Dreggs who actually doesn't look too bad.

Its my birthday on Saturday and the party wagon is top of my list, i saw it on Amazon at £14 but the price keeps dropping!

Meant to say, I got Splinter. Dammit. At least wanted a Turtle. Will maybe try one more time, but as you say not sure if they're really worth collecting...IMO Leo is the best looking out of all the figures. If you ignore the MASSIVE ears lol

Those Kinder figures are indeed horrible. Yet the MLP toys are miles better.

Will check Morrisons for Mega Bloks!

I am waiting to hear back from TRU and Entertainer as to whether they will be stocking the range at all. The websites have nothing yet either.

Normally The Entertainer is really good with stocking Mega Bloks stuff especially the blind bags (Halo, Marvel Power Rangers, Spongebob etc). Maybe they are getting stuff in later on.

I have a local high street Entertainer within walking distance, so I am checking there regularly.

Just to let you know I have just ordered the Classic range from TRU USA and have put the prices it works at:

Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Donatello Classic Series 5.73
Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Bebop Villain Pack 11.46
Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Krang's Rampage 25.09
Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rocksteady Villain Pack 11.46
Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Raphael Classic Series 5.73
Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Leonardo Classic Series 5.73
Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Michelangelo Classic Series 5.73

Not too bad considering they come with displays stands and postage was £17 something so was just under £103 for the entire set

Legend! Thanks for the tip.

I really hope the Classics sets will come out in the UK/Europe.

I tried to order some from Amazon and TRU but shipping to The Netherlands is (for some reason) much more than shipping to the UK.

For example, shipping two Turtles costs 25 euro's on the TRU website, that's about 18 pounds just for shipping!
The Krang set comes to about 50 pounds (including shipping)!

No worries!

Thought I would just bite the bullet and get the full series 1 set to save on multi sets of postage.

The Patrol Buggy set with Leonardo figure is further reduced to £9.99 at Argos.

Dimension X Turtles spotted in the Entertainer over the weekend.

Been tipped off on another place I go that the blindbags have also been spotted in Tescos! Perhaps they are slowly starting to spread out more.
