That would be great. I linked three German sites above and I try to get another one - hopefully I can get my brain back working (aka remember) again. tongue


That doesn't sound good for r2dtoys. sad

    I've added them in. I think I've seen them mentioned on Rebelscum but I've never ordered from them.

    Thanks, Laj. happy

    I didn't ordered from them myself, but I know someone who ordered SW stuff a few times and there were no problems.

    Toy Palace is well known for mainland European collectors. However, I have nevered ordered from them, due to the high prices.

    While we're at it, I'd like to suggest Gator, a small Dutch vendor, with a well maintained online shop. I've bought all of my Gentle Giant statues and maquettes there, as well as some Kotobukiya models.

    Thanks Incom - I've added the Netherlands and Gator to the list.

    Thanks, there are more Dutch sellers, but to be honest, Gator's the only one I've dealt with, apart from some ebay stores.

    r2dtoys - an update: I received the following email from them:

    Dear Friends.

    It has been some 6 months since we have traded, dispelling rumours, we simply
    could not continue to lose money.

    You have all, over the years, become more than customers. I owe you an apology
    for not making more of an effort to explain to you why r2dtoys simply faded away
    without warning.

    It saddens me that things panned-out the way they did, even more so that I have
    had no contact with any of you since our business was damaged beyond repair last
    October.

    The continued thefts from our warehouse, cash money at shows, and blatant
    disregard by some of our workers to service you, all contributed to our closure.

    At rhe end of the day this was my responsibility, of course the buck stops with
    me, but it was just uncontrollable from America.

    So this email serves a purpose to you all.

    First as a thank you, secondly as an apology, and thirdly as a heads-up.

    My 10 years of hard work being the best Star Wars supplier in England didnt come
    easy, and i dont want anybody to lose out from that hard work.

    Those that know me very well, know i worked 7 days a week and even sacrificed my
    family life for the love of the business. This was a mistake, of course,
    however I wanted our business at the top of its game all the time and we were.
    It was at the expense of my personal life, and this time, i decided to put
    myself first and i am glad to say things are working out extremely well for us
    in America.

    This leads me into some good news.

    After all my years of hard work and effort, and for all your loyalty and
    support, I have finally found a company that can take a real grip on the UK Star
    Wars market as I once did, and put you many thousands of customers FIRST, and
    give you back the one-stop-shop you are missing. There is still no strong or
    decent Star Wars retailer in the UK so its sorely needed.

    They are still completing their website, when it is done, i will email you all
    and explain whats going on. But you can look forward to brand new figures just
    as fast as you are used to, for an awesome price of just £2.99 each !

    This is a revolutionary approach to Star Wars in England.

    I am not going to be involved, believe it or not, i am back in the Japanese Car
    industry ! But these guys are serious and will do a better job than I ever
    did.....because they have the funding and distribution network.

    Please watch your inbox soon.....an email will hit you with details.

    Our website, customer base, supplier lists and all our contracts have been
    passed on - so there WILL be a new website BUT you can still order through the
    old website because my 8 years of adding 2500 products is just too good to
    waste.

    Thanks for your attention, and i hope to catch up with a few of you when i come
    back to England in July. I may even see you at Memorabilia.....

    John.

    So if I get further news I will post it. For now I will leave them in the list with the note against their name.

    For the US list you could add Sideshow Collectibles (didn't see them on there) and remove Code3 since they no longer offer SW merchandise.

    Added Batsons Toys in under UK. I was looking for the second version of Koto Boba and came across them on Amazon UK. They had him in stock and seemed to have good feedback so I took a chance. I ordered him on May 15 in the evening and he was delivered today in good shape! (The fact that his antenna parted company with his helmet during assembly was not their fault.) So I can recommend them.
