Received my Con Set today (I had to pick it up from my local Post Office) and I have to say the parcel it came in was packed perfectly well.I opened the parcel and inside was my Con Set plus my Certificate & the Comic The set itself is f***ing superb-I got 7 Red Shadows & 5 Red Torches but I don't care as I love the Set & can't wait to get the 2 sub sets that I ordered (Z & Q force) the other day.To all those UK buddies of mine I will say the set was worth buying & big thanks to Jamar & the Baron plus all BFTB members who work hard to spread the word.
I'll keep spreading the word

if you ask me customs charges are like bloody speedcameras, created as an easy way to make some money for nothing!
