Basically I'm curious to find out where everyone gets their goodies from, action figures that kind of thing, sure theres ebay, but I was wondering if theres any lesser known online retailers- or ones we would've normally not considered, that deserve a visit?

I'm guessing you mean anime figures?

I get most of mine from either cons, united publications, or ToykoToys..

If there's a figure I want that's not available there, I shop around, but I'm not really a fan of ebay.

I have a tendency of importing via Hobbylink Japan or CD Japan. Hobbylink is the daddy, of course. You can get most figures, toys and merchandise from Transformers to plushes to T-shirts.

And on the subject of T-shirts, I just ordered me a new tshirt from HLJ today.. Not the right character, since there is still not merchandise available for her yet Mad but the right series at least.

you all probably remembered how I whined about those dead expensive Appleseed 12" figures.... Think I've found something better!

They're 4" tall with 20 points of articulation and if you get all 5, you'll have parts to make that 7" landmate.
JOY!
I just pre-ordered mine off Forbiddenplanet.co.uk but Im sure they'll turn up on other sites.

Just thought fellow Appleseed fans would like to be informed Very Happy

Here's an odd one, anyone got TF classics magnus? if like me you're a fan of the magnus and felt a prime repaint was just not enough, some nice people in japan designed and manufactured a trailer which transforms and clips on to Classics Magnus, still giving fairly decent articulation, with the added bonus of a BFG from the main trailer body, I just spotted it on epicheroes.com, only catch is its about 55 quid!
