Shattered Glass Cyclonus' Armada? You mean he actually does stuff and is known by all? lol

[The Doctor]

Thanks, Andy. Let me know what the damage is for C/CP and Irn-Bru Cyclonus when you get your statement and I shall sort you out straightaway via the magic of Paypal.

That reminds me about payments from everyone If at all possible cheque or postal order is preferred as I won't have to wait for it to clear from paypal to my bank. If you want to pay with paypal thats ok too but if you could send it as a gift and pay the fee on your end. More often than not I don't much care about the fees but several hundred pounds worth will add up big time.

I'll get to bank tomorrow or Tuesday to see what the final costs are then let everyone know.

Andy

[The Doctor]

Ah. I don't use a cheque book and had proceeded under the assumption that paypal would be fine. I'm fine with eating the paypal fees on my end though.

-Ralph

[Bogatan]

Thanks Ralph. Like I say Paypal is fine, just means someone has to pay fees.

I worked out if I had the all the fees taken from the money I recieve I'd be short the money for one whole PCP and probably a good chunk of a Cyclonus, which would just be a little too much.

Andy

[Bogatan]

I've sent PMs about the costs to everyone I think, if I havent PM.

The costs came to £47.10 for PCP and £38.50 for Cyclonus. Not to bad compared to wha it could have been.

Now fingers crossed for no cuta pain.

actually only the ones that were ordered together are, the rest are being sent in early july

but still AWESOME!

[Bogatan]

Yeah I decided to order just the PCP first (good thing really as they had sold out before I placed a second order for the Cyclonus') As Aesir says FP are only shipping orders including both figures for some reason. I mean why bother shipping orders in the order recieved.

So it'll be another 2-3 weeks at least before they head over here.

Ah, Fun Pub.

[Dezzeh]

Damn I wish I hadnt missed this thread a couple months ago =/

[Bogatan]

Just got an email to say, the Cyclonus order has shipped. No word on the PCP yet.

Andy

[Bogatan]

And PCP's are on the way. Got to play with one and have to say the head is small but not freakishly. Really looking forwards to these.

Not looking forwad to the customs bill.

Andy

[The Doctor]

Glad to hear they are on the way. I shall channel for minimal CUTA action.

-Ralph

[Bogatan]

As bad as it maybe at least the processing fee will only be about £1 per toy.

I don't mind that so much.

Andy

[The Doctor]

I don't mind pitching in towards CUTA costs.

-Ralph

[Bogatan]

Thanks, I'm still foolishly hoping at least one box gets through.

so would that mean we each pay for the figures bought to be processed, or are we going to split the cost between us all equally?

ie, since I ordered 2 figures would I pay £2 (if its a pound each) or would I pay whatever the amount is divided by how many people there are in the group?

[Jaymz]

I'd say it's fairer to work out the CUTA cost per figure and then people pay for what they ordered.

[Bogatan]

I have them all sat beside me. ;D I got hit by customs on both sets of figures. Roughly it worked out at just under £8 per cyclonus (I think) and about £10-11 pounds per PCP. I wont know exactly on PCP because I also got charged Import duty on them and then the VAT was worked out including that amount. Hopefully I'll get back the import and some VAT (as you definetely aren't meant to be charged it on plastic robot toys) if I dont it will cost about £12 or something.

Either way its not too bad considering the parcelforce charge alone is £13 per package. I guess the saving will be about £25-35 per person compared to indivudual orders.

I'll send PMs later to everyone to make sure everyone gets asked properly, but there is a slight glitch in the PCP or at least some (I haven't checked them yet to see if any of this lot are affected) were the roof isn't aligned correctly, when the head is rotated up the chest/roof stops slight short of the vertical.

Its a pretty easy fix that I don't mind doing while I do a quick inspection of them to make sure the limbs are all correct (which I need to do now incase theres are problems as replacements are going to be hard to get later). It just needs the torso unscrewing and the gear realigning. But I don't want ot mess around with anyones figures without permission so just lmk if you want them fixing (if needed) or not.

Andy

[blueshift]

I trust you with a sharp object if my PCP needs a fix

[Deleted]

It would be easier if you fixed them before hand, but I can do the repair on my one (if needed) if it saves you time

[The Doctor]

I would appreciate mine being fixed, please.

-Ralph

[Jaymz]

Feel free to fix up mine and Alan's if they need it! Thanks!!

[Deleted]

So where and when at Auto Assembly should we pick these guys up then? On the Friday in the hotel bar?

[Bogatan]

Unless Nick doesn't need the help this year, I'll probably be hanging around the toyFu table again so should be there when ever you arrive.

Sorry I haven't updated I'm still double checking on faults while I do the fixes and waiting for the customs refund so the final totals are not 100% but plan on the £8 for Cyclonus and £12 for PCP for now.

Andy

[Nigel]

The second batch of PCP will be available sometime this week. (Thanks FP, don't you know there's a convention this week?) They're being very strict on the ordering - you can only order one and only if you didn't order before. Any breaches will be cancelled and a 25% admin fee charged. I think this approach is fair, actually.

I might order one, depending on price, but I think there'll be plenty of other things I'd rather buy at Auto Assembly.

Andy, any idea roughly how much a single figure might close including shipping?

[Bogatan]

If its still $60 the shipping will be $30-40 ( icant remember the exact figure and you will likely get hit by customs.
