 		Yourstory.co.uk - online vendor, uk based
http://www.yourstory.co.uk/acatalog/Perplex_City.html
can buy single packs (minimum spend of £5 though)
strange, what with Firebox and all - maybe they are franchising...

 		It actually works out cheaper to buy them here than on Firebox if you buy 4 packs (or even a whole box).

Their shipping price is outrageous! Firebox still has the best prices, especially if you use the £2.00 off voucher that comes on the catalog. Wink

Try Toy Tokyo, although if I remember right, given exchange rates and shipping costs, it still ends up being cheaper to order from Firebox.

 		I concur with BriEnigma. I purchasing from them (and I live only 5 hours away by car) and Firebox is still cheaper. Damned capitalism!! Twisted Evil

theres usually a code on the back page which when you put it into the website it'll enter you into some competition or somesuch and also give you a random discount, usually between £2-10 but i think it sometimes goes up to £50 maybe??

rach =)

If I remember correctly these codes are only valid until 30th September, so until the new catalogue (which should be soon I'm sure) there won't be any more Sad

Just checked and it is only until the 30th September

 		I got the winter 2005/2006 edition of the firebox mag in my post today, and have used the £5 voucher code against some more cards which will be arriving soon.

I'll get mine when I'm home again in a week or so, I find it ammusing that I said there should be one soon the day it arrives, LOL.

 		On a similar note, has anyone tried to get their local shop to stock them?

I'm always tempted everytime I walk past our local toy/trading card shop to pop in and talk to the manager. I find it difficult to buy lots at once + postage and would love to buy a pack every now and again!

But then again, shouldn't I get paid for doing this? Smile
