Hiya new member from the UK

Post by Soundbluster »

Hiya everyone, just came across this site a day ago, and from what i've seen its pretty sweet.

I've been an avid TF fan all my life, and despite a loss of some of my original TF's or bits of, i've managed to amass a nice collection of the newer Classics and Universe lines; 25 at the moment, all characters that are actually G1 characters and not made-up or later-era TF's.

My nick is taken from the Engrish on the Music Label Soundwaves soundblaster weapon, which has Soundbluster on it instead :lol: He fits into my Classics/Universe collection beuatifully!

My real name is Lyle, and i come from Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.

I have a couple of questions regarding this site and would be thankful if you guys answered them for me. The first one is aimed at UK members

- what is postage generally like when ordering from Transformersland to the UK? Reliable, reasonably priced, and quick? Dangerous, expensive, and slow? ( :wink: ) especially for loose items that'd roughly be the size of an Action Master figure or smaller?
- when doing a deal with someone over this away from the main store, how safe is it?


Thanks in advance and hiyas once again :D

Welcome to TFL Soundbluster. :wink: I'm not from the UK but you can rest assured Trance (who runs the Store) is the best Transformer dealer you'll ever come across.

Welcome to TFL Soundbluster!

I don't have an answer to your TFL pricing question, but as Skywarp stated Trance is awesome at running the TFL store. I have placed well over a dozen orders with him and he delivers! Every item arrives as he describes them. He's been great to deal with!

As far as these dirty scoundrels on this site... Well, I personally believe they are all fantastic. But, I have only purchased from maybe 3 of them. Those three (or so) were all great!

Once again, stick around and enjoy your stay!

Welcome aboard Soundbluster! I am sure you'll enjoy your stay. I recommend using TFL for any of your transformer needs. Trance is a stand up guy, and he'll make sure you're happy with any purchases you make. I am pretty sure he does deals with overseas buyers, and from what I hear, he's fairly quick about it. Stick around, you'll get all the transformers knowledge you can handle from these great people.

Welcome to TFL Soundbluster, hope you'll enjoy it here!

I agree with the previous posters.
I've bought items from TFL as well, and there were no problems whatsoever. I've also traded, bought and sold items to other TFL members, also without any problems. :)
