Hey all!
Well,I took a trip to Southampton today which is about 45 mins drive away. The main reason for going was to pick up tickets for a show we are doing,but while we were there me and my mate Dan decided to go to "Forbidden Planet" which is a comic book store chain. I walked in....and my eyes immediately zoomed in to 25TH JOES ON THE PEGS!!!! Could not believe it,it was strange seeing them in the shops - they had single packs,comic packs and some MASS device dvd packs!! I did not expect to see any Joes on sale in England until the movie comes out,and even then its not guaranteed! Anyway,this story is bittersweet Im afraid cuz as I already suspected-and even joked with some guys on here about-the single packs were marked up £7.99 each,the comics packs were £10.99 each,and the dvd packs were £25 each... Thats the same price as in the usa right? $7.99? Well no cuz that works out at DOUBLE the price £1 = $2 roughly......:( Oh well...at least 25th Joes are finally for sale in ENGLAND!!! woohoo!!! I thought the UK guys here might appreciate the heads up.

That's cool and sad at the same time. I'm assuming the increase is to cover shipping costs from America...maybe?

Congrats! What did they have as far as waves? Were they revisions or the hard sought after wave 10? Were the dvd packs wave 2?...

didnt get any pics im afraid-but i WILL be going back there soon so will definitely get some then.
As for the price,Im afraid it just works that way here-for example,the Indiana Jones figures are £7 each (im assuming they are about $7 there?)
