Robotkingom came back to us, but said they are yet to speak to e-Hobby and that they often get the items in quiet late.
I'm going to have a look at the pricing and see what I could do them for, direct, but only put it on the board and not the site this time around.
I'll let you know, e-Hobby already contact me a few days ago on these items

OK, Robotkingdom are a little slow and awkward to deal with on this, as they are based in Hong Kong and only speak broken English. They could get a better deal out of e-hobby then we can, as they will buy in bulk, and wanted us to put all of our e-Hobby orders their way - they may then continue to sponsor our site (which cost us around £45 a month to host).
Now these e-Hobby toys are only up for a short period of time, Dec 2nd is the closing day, and I don't want anyone to miss out. What I'll do then is to give you a price that I think we could do them for direct, then if you are interested I'll place an order this week - but I'll need to know quickly. Anyone who thinks the price may be a tad high, we'd suggest waiting for Robotkingdom to let us know what they can do them for.
---- Costings -----
Set of 3 - £35.00 Set of 3 with Autorooper - £75.00 .
Here's the working.
Set of 3 Toys - Y3,990 = £19.00 Shipping = £3.00 Customs = £4.94 (17.5% of value for VAT, 6% for Duty) Customs Clearance = £2.08 (£25 per box, 12 sets in a box) Postage = £4.00 (usually it was between £2.80 -£3.80, depending on how large the box was / padding)
TOTAL £33.02 (rounding to £35 for any mis-calculations)
Set of 3 + Autorooper Toys - Y10,274 = £48.00 Shipping = £4.00 Customs = £12.44 (17.5% VAT and 6% Duty) Customs Clearance = £4.17 (£25 per box, 6 in a box) Postage = £6.00 (I've no idea on postage for a Binaltech, if they are plastic then it should be less)
TOTAL £74.61 - rounding to £75
The actual cost to us may be more (up to £80 for the Autorooper set), but I'm being positive on the Exrates, using 210.
So who's in?

WTF?? sorry but that's bang out of order..... if you guys don't get these I sure as hell will NOT but them from robotkingdom regardless of how good they may be as far as I am aware you've only ever done this out of generosity than for profit as you know I'll be sponsoring the site in the near future and my choice for doing this is based on the fact you run the UK's No.1 site and its damn good publicity for my site to be featured here....... rather than you being lucky enough to have my name as a sponsor I would never dream of sponsoring the site and making demands like that......... I'd never heard of them before hearing about them on your site so effectively their sponsorship has worked without needing to place conditions on it I'm hoping people will shop with me because of the service I offer not because I'm making you guys point customers in my direction sorry if this seems a little bit of a rant but reading that made me really angry.........

Maybe Moonbug misworded his post... at least I hope that's the case because it's well out of order otherwise.
IM sent with my order.

It's not that they won't, they've only paid for 1 month's sponsorship at the moment, but if we put future orders through them, then I may be able to get them to pay for more :-)
There quiet a good company, we got lightan from them
