Keychain minibots in Europe?

Post by Nevermore »

Is there any chance to get the G1 minibot keychain rereleases in Europe without having to order theam from America? I mean, about 20-30 € shipping costs for a toy that will cost me about 6-8 € is not funny... Germany doesn't seem to feature them at all, what about the Netherlands? Does anyone probably know a good online store nearby?

I found both of the first 2 [Bumbles and Cliffy] in the UK, but that was in the same toyshop that had the RiD Trainbots and TT Spychangers, which seem otherwise to have conclusively not to have come out anywhere else... but that was a while ago, and they took a long time selling... I bet a few comic shops like forbidden Planet have some in though :)

I've just decided I want to get the original Bumblebee and thought the keychain rerelease would be the cheapest alternative... Sigh. Hope one of my former school friends still has him and is willing to sell him. ;)

I've only got Glyph (botcon Bumblebee repaint) it's nifty enough, though I really want my old namesake - Cliffjumper :\

So, finally a former friend of mine was willing to sell me his old Bumblebee, heck, he even gave it to me for free, but unfortunately, the face is missing. :(

Does anyone have an extra one for sale? Maybe a used, probably even damaged version (only request: intact head section) for use as spare parts? Possibly someone from Europe? :)

Another alternative: I know someone who's currently spending some time in the USA. Does anyone know a store in or near Colonial Beach, Virginia that's selling the keychain minibots?
