Will Play.com Ever have these in again?

I have been looking at getting the Hot Toys Batmobile and Play.com are showing it as 'Temporarily out of stock. This item will be despatched as soon as it is in stock.'

Do you think they are ever likely to have them in again, or am I better off looking elsewhere?

Also, anyone got any ideas where I might get a Mark III Iron Man?

Cheers

Steve

You can never really trust play, even when it says 'In Stock' mate.I'd suggest keep searching and use Play as your backup place.

I managed to get one from play and even got to use the 5% RAC code. I do find Play very annoying though as the never seem to fulfill any preorders

Oh cool about the new Iron Man figure.

Can anyone tell me where I would be able to get one of these and when it is coming out?

Sorry to ask this question, but I'm a newcomer to this Memorabilia collecting and have no idea where you buy them from.

Cheers

Re: Will Play.com Ever have these in again?

it says on the thread "Release date: Q4, 2009 – Q1, 2010" and ebay or an overseas seller would be your best and cheapest bet.

Get your batmobile from one of the honk kong toy sellers.
Mine cost me 220 all in
80 quid cheaper than play.
Or if you need one NOW then there is one in forbidden planet in Glasgow
Saw it yesterday

ABC Express on Ebay is a good bet for Hot Toys, they're an official retailer and I've had loads from them, Tumbler and Iron Man included.
