With the U$ vs Uk pound race, you're probably best off ordering from S7 overseas and pinching in a lil' extra for shipping and custom tax...

UK slang continues to make me LOL.

I imagine this means 'take a look'

And American additions such as "bling" "that's how I roll" etc, have really helped the language flourish.

This may be a useful tool to help us to communicate better :D

As for toys in the UK - besides buying off an auction site, I've picked up a few goodies from tokyocube.

But US and Japanese sites/shops are the way to go...

Post Re: Uk toy hunt
have a look at future plastik as they have a small sale on some things this weekend and would be a good place to pick up a few nice items

but i normally get stuff from S7 or direct from secret base and both and really fast and work out pretty cheap,

i would love to open a shop here in the UK but based in newcastle i think only about 2 people would buy anything but you never know what can happen in the future. its hopefully something i will be looking into when i get some new designers working for me so i can not work 24/7 and got a new mag launching in august so just don't have the time at all

That's one kick ass comment. Last time i was in the UK swamps, dudes kept on asking ' can i pinch a "I'M ABOUT TO BE BANNED" off you ? '... intense.
