The vast majority of R4 discs are usually okay to play on R2 machines. As for your R1 discs, sorry mate you`ll need to get the `210 modified. No known hacks for Tosh machines.

Get a refund if you can.
It`s far more cost-effective to buy a player that`s already been modified, or one that`s handset hackable, than to get a player "chipped" after you`ve bought it.
Compare prices for region mods versus ready-modified Toshiba players - for example:
PS: As Clayts mentioned before, a large percentage of R4 discs are "dual coded" (i.e. they are coded for region 2 as well as region 4), which is why you`ve been able to play them on your R2-only Tosh. If you want to find out which R4 discs are dual coded, check out the reviews on this site: http://www.michaeldvd.com.au
