Hi,
Hoping I've posted this in the correct board.
Basically, I started collecting the WCF series a few months back but have recently struggled to find any of the newest sets locally. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any UK based sellers that stock the figures. In particular, I'm looking for the Freeza Special Vol 1 and 2 sets.

If you are from the UK than you are most likely better off just importing them directly from Japan. A Set costs roughly 6000-7000 Yen which is roughly 40 GBP. Even with middleman fees and shipping you wouldn't pay more than 50 Pounds for a set, and that's a pretty decent price!

It seems like it's becoming the only option for this stuff. I'm just a little cautious as I've never really bothered with the import scene before. Are there any recommended sellers?

Barnes and Noble carries a lot of the new stuff. I see them all the time at local stores. Might try their website?

Hey man, welcome to the forum. I collect WCF as well, and while I live in LA, not the UK, I had the same problem until I discovered the Japanese Shopping Service that I wrote about in this post: dragonballfigures.com/thread/2898/japanese-shopping-serviceI couldn't recommend them more highly. It's best to let them know what you want ahead of time for the most competitive prices, but their prices have been consistently better than anything else I could find locally or online. I already have orders in with them for all four Dragon Ball Super volumes announced for release this year, as well as the Shenron Megas coming out in two weeks. Hope this helps! I'd love to see some pictures of your collection in the Member Collections forum. |

Cheers for the tips so far guys. Much appreciated! I'll give both sellers a look.
@eliot - Only got a small collection at the moment but I'll try and get some pictures sorted soon.

Quick update - Ended up going the import route and found someone who was selling the figures for a reasonable price in GBP (especially compared to some of the domestic sellers I've purchased from before). Done two orders so far and both arrived from Japan in less than a week. The seller also threw in some DB cards as a bonus with both orders  Here's the latest one. Attachment Deleted |

Nice! Great start! Looking forward to seeing what else you find. Some really cool characters are being released in the coming months. Be sure to keep an eye out!
