I'm getting impatient for Cult Classics 3 ...I want that McClane, damnit...

[KITCH]

Kitch, when you get your new TV, i want a complete review of it. I've been umming and arring about it for about 2 weeks now! Can't make my mind up

My friend has the exact same model that I'm getting. He says its fantastic. I've got some pics if you want? It looks amazing...

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

Yes please :D Do you have any pics of the connections that are on the TV aswel?

Thanx

[feedme]

*awaits postman*....this is getting really silly

[KITCH]

Yes please :D Do you have any pics of the connections that are on the TV aswel?

Thanx

I'll send you them tonight mate, just on my break from work at the moment. :)

[Phoenix Blaze]

*awaits postman*....this is getting really silly

what be you waiting on? Ooh, pivked up Neo today, good as always, but for the reviews, lots of it was really old stuff, not much new stuff. Ooh, someone might know, the FPI magazine has lots of toys listed at excellent prices, but what are these prices and how do I get in touch with these people to buy their toys, cos they ain't the prices in store at FP. Also, anyone got a date for SF round 4? It's all I've got to buy now for ageeeees.

[feedme]

ahh i awaiting on the corpse bride 2 pack and the jun planning corpse bride ordered from amazing toys last month..its been in transport for 3 weeks now..damn slowness

[Phoenix Blaze]

Haulage from beyond the stars!!!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/McFARLANE-SPAWN-SERIES-22-DARK-RAIDER-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ6031424055QQcategoryZ2472QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's the only normal Viking Age figure I intend to get, they have Bluetooth and the Troll on ebay right now, so i could finish off my first spawn line (albeit with a normal/R3 mix, or I could just have all R3, so many people would hate me for that). But yeah, I much prefer this raider, much better head sculpt that the R3 one. Damn I so wanna go buy the other 3 R3 ones I need.....damn.

[Phoenix Blaze]

Okay....I snapped...again...spotted a Jackal on ebay....wanted one for a while, I tried so so so hard to not buy it, but then i just looked at the larger pic and gave in....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6040106049&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

so i just dropped £30 on two toys, but hey, I woulda spent that on a t-shirt at the Trivium gig tonight, so I just won't buy one.

[feedme]

*writes blaze a prescription to the PA* haha
nice stuff you waiting on..posty will love you

[Phoenix Blaze]

*takes those pills* and yay, finally someone is using the correct nick name, it's Blaze, not Phoenix, and yes, my posty does love me, he's a nice man, the last was a total git though.

[feedme]

i'm good with me posty aswell..he knows he can sue me later on in life for all the backpains from carrying all those parcels to my door

[Phoenix Blaze]

Mine parks right out my door, and it's like a short garden path then the door, and generally he just leaves them behind the storm doors for me, so even if no ones in, I still get them.

[feedme]

*now knows where your posty leaves yer packages*
*gets plane to scotland*
*evil laugh ensues*

[AngelsRose]

What is it with us brits/scots/irish and evil laughter? i always wondered why we are more prone to do the whole evil laugh thingie? is it the james bond villian in us all?

No haulage for me this week, popped into nostalgia and they had more FF figures and a really nifty Chi from chobits figure...i was all shiny and sparkling eyes for minutes, checked wallet and left disappointed...damn it for not having enough, i might have to pop into Videodrome when i'm in Worcester later, they have some pretty nifty figures in there occasionally plus i can see whose next going do a signing in store, last time it was the bloke who plays The Cat in Red Dwarf. ^__^

[feedme]

*strokes white cat*..now angels rose i will tell you my plan for world domination..
ha i guess it must be bond..orelse all those years of watching bbc programs with restrained sexual innuendo ..carry on doctor..*stays quiet now*

gahness for not having the funds but atleast you know the FF stuff is there now

[Daywalker UK]

Nice double haul for me today.
Got a signed Exc. Spaulding and the Faces of madness Acc. pack.
Dog alien also turned up, a bit battered by our wonderful postal service but it was a bargain nonetheless at £10.99 :)
Pics later.

[Phoenix Blaze]

£120 haul this time, no not another Urizen, but a pair of boots! New Rocks to be precise, was walking around, was raining and I'm going out tonight and seeing as I've wanted a pair for a while, I thought now was the best time for them. They are pretty cool, odd to walk in (I've only worn skate shoes for years), but they are khool.

[Phoenix Blaze]

Crapola, crap in a pan,. right, got my Raider through just there, but it's R3, and I made a point of buying the normal one cos I much prefer it's head sculpt over this R3 one. I'm tempted to just leave it and keep this one cos it'll mean I'll soon have full R3, but no bah, I really really like the normal head sculpt, cos he looks like some tracker, whereas R3 just looks like a normal chappy. Bah, now i gotta send the guy his toy back, crap!:mad:

[feedme]

crap one blaze man..i hate having to send stuff back

[Phoenix Blaze]

updatage!!!! Worked out the problem, they got a case of R3 through, so they don't have a normal raider to exchange for this one, so I'll be keeping it to sell it on or trade, preferably for a normal raider. Was tempted to open him up and be done with it all, but no, I want a normal raider, it's far superior.

But on a much better bote, Jackal arrive, w00tage indeed, and he rocks, wanted one for a while, finally got one, goody:D

So finally, anyone got a Raider they wanna trade for my R3?

[feedme]

i'm still awaiting the godamn posty...monday now..grrr

[BritishSpawn]

Hey everyone not sure if its old news or not but Woolworths now has The Xmen figures in as well as the Apoc Marvel Legends series.

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

Kitch, im still waiting for the TV photos :D Have you got yours yet?

[Aqua34_Purple52]

Don't suppose anyone has spotted CC3 yet, have they?...

[Phoenix Blaze]

I have a new grail:D

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROBOTECH-MASTERPIECE-VARITECH-FIGHTERS-VOLUMES-1-6_W0QQitemZ6042364086QQcategoryZ36568QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I'm a 3rd of the way there, but buying this would make it oh so cheaper, I think, unless I went hunting, (I've never seen most of these separately on ebay). But I already got Ben Dixon and Mirya, they're generally the ones that come up on ebay most often, but yes, I'll eventually have all 6:D

[feedme]

woo postman just came..and dropped off me corpse bride 2pack and jun planning 16' corpse bride...ahh aboot fooking time

[Phoenix Blaze]

yeah about time too, was it off ebay? I'd have a word with the shipping about that one (unless they said you'd wait 3 years for it). Coolness all round though.

[feedme]

amazingtoyz i got it from man..i asked how it was so long and he said it was in a customs backlog..so it took longer than normal..cool beans everything is in order

[AngelsRose]

Glad you finally got corpse bride 2pack from your postie, feed me. Picked up Kei from dirty pair and Ed from Full metal Alchemist(sp?) figures today... Yay to finally having cash! ^__^ w00t.

[feedme]

congrats angelsrose..most cool..and i agree money kicksarse haha

[Phoenix Blaze]

okay feedme, too far, over 1000 posts already!?:eek: I don't care if you dig graves, this has got to stop, go out and drink more or something.

Well, for the last hour or so I've been thinking of a new set up for my collection as a whole, and what do I have to show for this.....nothing. I'm getting bored with my current set so I really need to redo it cos it's looking far too cluttered and just not nice. And I want some more toys, got a thread on the B/S/T board about my R3 Raider and some wants (some are rather "ambitious"), so go looky if you want it....I "insist".....

[KITCH]

Kitch, im still waiting for the TV photos :D Have you got yours yet?

Should be getting it either tmorrow or Wednesday hopefully. When I get it I'll post some pics and give you a little review of it. :)

[feedme]

okay feedme, too far, over 1000 posts already!?:eek: I don't care if you dig graves, this has got to stop, go out and drink more or something.
ha looks like the victyoria thread is gone and my posts dwindle..no harm tis but a number anyway..*drinks more*
and good luck with the rearranging

[Daywalker UK]

Just put your 'non-favourites' away in storage PB. I know it may seem unthinkable but I have quite a bit boxed away now and it gives em a warm feelign to think I can display them at some point in the future :)

Waiting on a coupel of Ebay buys which should hopefully arrive tomorrow, I'll post some haul catch-up pics when they do as I haven't done a show and tell in a while.
Got sniped on a Hellspawn hsi.05 on the Bay today, my own fault really as I was playing it safe with the bidding and I got done by 50p with about 6 seconds to go :( Really wanted that one too! It just had better not have been any of you that did it!!! ;)
Ah well, it will be mine sooner or later.
Anyone know a release date on the Mezco afterlife figures? Can't wait for those babies.
Also, I'm desperately looking for a 1st appearance spidey from ML10 still. Just need that damn Sentinel head. Any sightings?

[Phoenix Blaze]

I'll check around here for the Spidey daywalker, I'm sure somewhere has it. Bah, the urge to go on ebay is great now, cos I've spotted a fair few wants, but I have little money left:(

[Daywalker UK]

That'd be cool PB, they're going for about £12+ on the Bay.

Posted a haul catch-up in the Toys forum, picked up a few things over the past few weeks.
Still waiting for a big-box-o'-Spawn from the states though :(

Hauls here: http://board.spawn.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4819599

[Daywalker UK]

Now where's everyone gone?!?!?!

[Phoenix Blaze]

no hauls+no cool news=no posts, very obvious. Lack of money is the result of no toys, but i hope to have enough to buy some of Sf round 4 when they hit the shelves.

[AngelsRose]

No hauls and no cool news, well apart from my slight manga haul yesterday,although i was tempted by the 70 quid figure of Sephiroth...dragons and the FF7:AC box set with cloud and Fenir *Sniffles*...i really wanted the Sephiroth...i guess i'll have to save some cash and keep an eye on it from a distance.
Apart from that, i've been waiting for my postie to deliver my Angel Santuary soundtrack for...well months now, i'm tempted to cancel it and never again order anything from Anime online and from MVM but the patient buggar in me is telling me to be so...damn it.

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

Months :confused: Have they actually sent it to you? If they have id start a claim at the post office asap :\

[feedme]

yeah AR i would deffo file a claim with the post office thats too long to wait for yer stuff.
i'm in Dublin and i'm debating whether or not to pick up the colour boxset of the girls of sin city
hmmm

[Daywalker UK]

Ooh, this is something new for me :)
Bought this little baby yesterday, it's the 12" Spencers exclusive bloody Blade doll. It's impending arrival has steered me toward comtemplating a colleciton of puppet master figures. Anyone got any and what's you opinion on them?

http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/9174/12inchbladeloose4lf.jpg

[feedme]

i think he looks badarse..i'm not too familiar with them but maybe i would like to get into

[Daywalker UK]

Badass is right, I just couldn't resist him. I have looked at the 6" figs on occasion and though thtey looked pretty good in the packaging but never got round to picking any up. Maybe it could be my first attempt at a MOC collection?

Speaking of MOC, i've got 4 Spawnfigs sitting on the table behind me that I still haven't opened...they're begging for it but for some strange reason I have yet to give in?

[feedme]

give in and open them...noww!
and I gave in earlier and bought myself the girls of sincity boxed set.
tis actually better than i imagined

[Daywalker UK]

I will.... I'm just not in any rush which is strange considering my staunch anti-MOC standing?
I think it's because I'm not sure if I'll keep them or not, gotta be careful now as I literally have NO SPACE!!!
I may even resort to boxing up the Sin City colelction that I have only recently completed :(

[feedme]

yeah i know how you feel aboot space man..i hate MOC but i've had to leave some figures lately in the clam due to no space on shelves.i'll need to get a bigger place soon enough...ahh the thoughts of moving my collection

[AngelsRose]

Months :confused: Have they actually sent it to you? If they have id start a claim at the post office asap :\

Well considering i ordered it back last year on my b day in october and the site saying that out of stock would take 8-12 weeks and its now march, so yep months...I sent them a email asking politely where it was and they say its in transit and will be with me soon, but they haven't taken the cash for it yet but its just taking its sweet fecking time. But if they send it and it still hasn't come ,i'll be making a claim at the post office no bloody doubt bout it.
My mate suprized me today and gave me a Crow figure and its uber nifty, so thats keeping me a happy bunny and its joined my random figures self...i like it when i get suprize gifts, yay!

[feedme]

most cool aboot the free crow figure AR too cool:D

[AngelsRose]

Aye, thats what i thought. My mate probs got the biggest huggle from me ever from it, lol :D

[feedme]

and so they should do..and if you didn't i would have haha

[Phoenix Blaze]

Spotage, Daywalker, spotted a Spidey in A1 for £8, but had no money, so I can pick it up for you during the week and we can sort out payment or trading or whatever.

[Phoenix Blaze]

happy St. Patrick's day feedme, hope you have a splendid time with your little green friends:D

[feedme]

thanks blaze man..i was at the parade ..for the drink haha

:D Nice one PB.

[Phoenix Blaze]

was flicking through the new toyfair and by the gods, the new ML look so awesome, the ML moonight looks much better than the MS one, and by a fair a bit. And don't worry graham, 1st appearance Iron man looks excellent, I'm very tempted to get him myself. I'm very tempted to get a lot of ML actually, Bishop's just been telling me to pick him up, and most of the next lines look awesome.

Anyone spotted SF round 4 yet? Nothing up here.

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

Anyone spotted SF round 4 yet? Nothing up here.

I havn't been able to drive to FP since last Wednesday, i need my rear axel on my car replaced - £175 :( . Hope to have it sorted out by next week, maybe by then they will of got them in

[feedme]

aye the new marvel stuff this year looks killer..especially the 12'inch spidey and wolverine

[Phoenix Blaze]

.......Dragons 4........:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: .......

[feedme]

they do look fecking cool don't they...might pick them up for sure

[Phoenix Blaze]

ooh ooh, turn on ITV, Hasslehoff's in a movie, Nick Fury:Agent of Shield. I've never even heard of this, and it looks a bit old, and Hasslehoff plays Fury, it's insane.

[feedme]

noooo..dang it..my itv is diffo over here...28days later is on instead...crap...nick fury movie is hillariously bad

[Phoenix Blaze]

yay!!!! just ordered my exclusive Shin Akuma, and here's me trying to save cos I now have 150 to last me until 10th April:( But it's all exclusive and shiny, can't wait to get it, will probably have this before I get any of the round 4 in store toys. Cost me $36 delivered, which is okay, Evil Ryu cost about the same, I just hope it doesn't take too long, two weeks I'd hope.

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

I've gave up trying to get the SF variants colours, it's too much hassle to ship them from America, and costs too much. Ah well, SOTA won't be having my money apart from the ones released to shops in the UK :(

On a related SF note, i FINALLY got the ReSaurus Sagat player 1 figure :D Ive been waiting ages for one to come up on eBay, and it went for £22, not bad really. Might post a pic later :)

Pic -http://homepage.ntlworld.com/henry.oneill/Sagat.jpg

[Phoenix Blaze]

Awesome, always been tempted to get a Resauras Akuma, that is, until SOTA announced theirs:p

[taddy333]

they look nice

[Daywalker UK]

SF are pretty cool, not for me but I can appreciate the fondess you guys have for them.

[Phoenix Blaze]

And thats what counts, that you atleast realise the awesomeness of them (well you better).

[feedme]

very cool stuff choking hazzard.

[Daywalker UK]

Big bunch o; haul today :)
All pictured here:

[Phoenix Blaze]

awesome stuff Daywalker, even got a few that I want in there, so that has to be good on your part.


EDIT: you guys seen this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Street-Fighter...QQcmdZViewItem

would go for a set if I had extra cash, then sell 'em like a scalper (joke, or not). This guy mustn't know how much they go for though, he could get more just for white ryu.

[Daywalker UK]

Thanks PB, you obviously have great taste ;)
Any joy on that ML Spidey?

[KITCH]

Hey guys, not been on the forums of late..all thanks to Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter :o

The only haul I've gotten of late is the big 18" Comic Hellboy..but damn he's cool. I'll post pics if anyone wants me to?

Also, the other day I found out theres a comic store in my town that I did'nt even know about! And it's been open 4 years!! :eek:

Yeah, I never knew the place existed but now I do it'll be alot easier for me to get toys and stuff. The owner also gave me discount becasue I didn't have enough money on me to get the Hellboy! :D Got it for £35!!

[Daywalker UK]

I wanna see pics :)

[Phoenix Blaze]

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Street-Fighter-2-Action-Figure-Series-1-Set-of-5-NEW_W0QQitemZ6044480087QQcategoryZ348QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I'm awfully tempted, I mean SF round 1 for £32 delivered, thats insane!!! as I said, white ryu can go for more than that.

Cool stuff KITCH, and Daywalker, I have the best taste.

[KITCH]

I wanna see pics :)

[AngelsRose]

It finally came today!! ^_^ I love my postie! my soundtrack finally came today, hoozah!!
Memobilla this weekend at the NEC, so if i have cash left over i might go and see what bagains and niftyness i can pick up there. Just wanted to let you guys know bout memobilla, great news if missed its on again in november. ^^

[feedme]

Yeah I keep meaning to post pics but your never on the forums lol.

I'll post some a bit later though :)

[Aqua34_Purple52]

Got McClane and Flyboy on Tuesday....finally. FP still don't have them in, so I had to import them from Cornerstore Comics.

Where's Graham? He hasn't posted since Feb 21st...anyone know?

[Daywalker UK]

Awesome Hellboy Kitch! I only have 1 6" fig but i'm a little smitten with it and have been considering bulking up the set a bit.

34 52 - Love the Flyboy but that McClane just doesn't do it for me. Does it look any better in person?

[Phoenix Blaze]

I think we've seen enough of the "McClane sucks" threads to know it's awful. Ooh, Daywalker, I'll be in town tomorrow so do you still want me to pic up that Spidey?

[Daywalker UK]

Yes please dude, as long as it's still £8 (just let me know what postage is on top)

Haven't paid much attention to the McClane (or indeed general NECA) threads as they just get childish. I do recall someone mentioning that it was the paint job that sucked rather than the sculpt though?

[feedme]

better off with neca seeing the paint jobs for yourself and picking the best one..though all the mc clanes i've seen have been turds..oh well..the endo is great

[AngelsRose]

Where is everyone today? *randomly pokes someone gently*

[Phoenix Blaze]

......egnnnnn...just woke up, literally, and this is the welcome I get, a poke in the ribs!? Well, went out last night and saw the mighty Venom, it was freakin' awesome, I want a toy of Chronos, that'd rock.....*goes back to bed*

[AngelsRose]

I'm sorry Phoenix blaze, no intention of harm. Glad you had fun seeing Vemon and a toy of chronos would rock, sorry again my bad....Ooo! Toast!!! *runs off to get some toast*

[atriot_vl]

*suddenly feels out of place*

hows everybody doing? its jus crazy back home.
I started work 3 weeks after i got back. didnt even have time to settle down n get used to the pace of hings here.
work is just mad. i wake up at 8 and go home around 10... :o
so i dont post tat much anymore.
been hauling much less too... :(

[Phoenix Blaze]

hey it's atriot!!!!:eek:

Yes, we've all been missing you, and I myself have been missing your valuable possible-things-for-me-to-buy-that-I-want information.

[feedme]

time for a group hug i reckons..well manly hug anyways.

[Phoenix Blaze]

hey daywalker, got your Spidey for £8, shipping will be like 2 or 3 or something, will try and get it out either tomorrow or monday.

[Daywalker UK]

Woohoo... dad of the month award coming my way...thanks PB :)

Hey Atriot, good to see you back here and glad you've settled down at home. Sounds like you're working too hard though ;)

My mate's in Brum for the Memorabilia event which sucks badly as I can't make it this time :( Will have to make sure I get up thee in November I reckon.

[AngelsRose]

Wasn't able to go to Memorabilia event at the NEC...couldn't afford to go and was strapped for cash, oh well theres always november, i'll post some info nearer the time for you guys when its next on.
Feedme, that group hugs sounds good, i'm up for it...does it matter that i'm a girl not a bloke? lol
No haulage, due to cash shortage...*sniffles* so many shiny pretty toys out there, so little cash.

[AngelsRose]

Where is everyone? i'm all alone....*sniffles* (-__-)

[Daywalker UK]

I'm here :)
The good news is that I got a couple of uber-bargains care of my buddy who went to Memorabilia.
The bad news is that it's sent me down a whole new collection path... which is, quite frankly, crazy as I have NO SPACE LEFT FOR ANYTHING!
Already had to pack away my Sin City figs so that I could sort out the Spawn collection :(
I'll post pics of the new additions along with my re-organised Spawn's a bit later.

[Daywalker UK]

Little haul is posted here: http://board.spawn.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4907640#post4907640post4907640

As for my Spawn's:

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/2629/spawns0306small3ir.jpg

Looks much neater now I think and has a bit of order to the figs.

Had to move my aliens in order to re-arrange the Spawn's and they now look a little more cramped but I think I got away with it. Now that state of my DVD collection is another matter...

http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/9384/alienspreds0306small2tk.jpg

That's it now...no more figures!



..well, maybe a couple.

[knightjar]

Load of stuff is appearing in FP clearance at the moment. Mostly junk, but a few interesting things. If anyone needs Erin they have a load for £3.50, some Conan and Madness series Monsters too. Oh yeah and they've just got Samurai Jack figs in!!!

[Daywalker UK]

No Liz Bathory's I'm betting ;)

Wish I had an FP near me :(

Bah, issue 109.....awesome set up though. Ooh, went to the post office today but they've moved somewhere and I don't know where, so I'll get spidey out tomorrow.

[Phoenix Blaze]

Finally gave in and just opened my R3 Raider, wasn't any interest in it, so yeah, he's now joined the R3 family, next up R3 Bluetooth and R3 Troll, (yes I am now decided on having a full R3 set or not), but I'll still be wanting a normal Dark Raider soon.

[feedme]

Feedme, that group hugs sounds good, i'm up for it...does it matter that i'm a girl not a bloke? lol
not a bother me dear..and now onto what I picked up in dublin..flyboy and 2 endos..love the the flyboy and the endos are kickarse ..lots of breakage problems on some of them on the pegs though..and the colour girls of sin city box set..coolness

[Phoenix Blaze]

It came it came!!! Shin Akuma finally arrived and about time too. And like I said, I've gotten it before I've even had a sniff of Round 4 around here. Is teh r0><0r though, and is a lot bigger than I thought. Only bad bit is paint is a bit sloppy here and there and the white hair is kinda dull, so I'll be repainting that. But all in all, glad I got it and it's my 20th SF toy, w00tage for me!!!

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

:o

I know i said i wasn't going to get any SF figure imported from America, but i just couldn't resist the Shin Akuma. These arrived today :D

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/henry.oneill/New1.jpg

:eek: awesome set up WCH, awesome indeed. I'm really really REALLY hoping round 4 is in FP tomorrow, I'll only be able to get like 1, maybe 2 if I'm lucky, but those should be Fei Long and normal Akuma. Shin Akuma rocks so hard, still so chuffed I got one.

[Daywalker UK]

Nice, very nice WCH. I've said before, not for me but I do get it.

PB - Did you manage to find your Post office? LMK what I owe you buddy :)

I got hsi.011 and CCX Spawn 3 repaint in the post today (pics in a seperate thread on the toys forum). Just need to get my grubby fingers on an hsi.005 and I'm all done with Hellspawn. Reckon I'll find them their own shelf somewhere as the 3 look mighty fine together.

[feedme]

sweet setup there choking...neat

[Daywalker UK]

Very quiet in here again.... Do you people actually have lives or something?!?!?

Just wanted to post a big-up for Blaze as he managed to get my kid an ML spidey to finish his sentinel. Thanks buddy :)

[feedme]

a little something i picked up as of late

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

Nice stuff FeedMe.

It has been quiet in here lately. I havn't really been busy, but havn't been buying figures. The last i got were the SF ones i posted the other day. I emailed FP Middlesbrough this morning to ask about the SF round 4 regular figures, but they're still waiting for stock :( . usually the UK gets the regulars before America, but it seems some US stores have got these before us this round :(

[Daywalker UK]

I got the Flyboy this week too :)
Decided it had to stay MOC though as I like the packaging too much to open it!

[Phoenix Blaze]

No problem Daywalker, happy to help fellow boardies out. Awesomeness on the dragon feedme, I;m tempted by the new sorceror for the base more than anything else. Indeed it has been quiet here, but just wait a few weeks and I'll be hauling a fair bit cos I'm finally getting the rest of my load/grant money through on monday:D £1000 ish it should be, so first stop will be FP (and it's just down the road from class aswell!) don't know what I'll get yet, nothing new's out yet, so maybe just more manga.

[feedme]

thanks men..and i agree there daywalker, flyboy looks great MOC...but alas i had to free him.
*hits* blaze up for a loan haha

[Phoenix Blaze]

Anyone here thinking about getting one of those tasty Lord of Darkness 20"ers? I sure as hell am, it'd be freakin' excellent, but £60 is kinda steep right now.

[Phoenix Blaze]

They're here! but I don't have them yet, round 4 has finally arrived in FP, tomorrow after class I'm gonna go buy some (maybe all of them if I'm not feeling too good), yas, finally!!! and they have them all plus a 1 per caser shin akuma in (not that I need that, I got the purple one), but yas, getting some toys tomorrow (haven't bought anything for weeks, been poor:( )

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

I bet the Middlesbrough store doesn't have them. But im going anyway :D Said a couple of pages back my toy collecting has peeked, but i think it's because i rarely go to FP anymore, once i step foot in that small piece of heaven, my debit card will be in hell :D

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

Just got back from FP, they didn't have the SOTA figures. They said they arrived in the warehouse on Friday, and they should probably have them in store tomorrow. But they did have these SF figures which i didn't think they would have, only £8.99 each aswel :) This Chun-Li is generations ahead of SOTAs, it is a really awesome sculpt, and the paint is a metallicy blue, it is a great figure.

[Daywalker UK]

Hey PB, forgot to let you know that Spidey arrived safe and sound on Saturday :)
Thanks a lot buddy, my kid is pretty chuffed with the Spidey and inparticular his complete Sentinel!

[Phoenix Blaze]

Street Fighter haualge! and finally too!, Got me an Akuma and a Fei Long, woulda gotten the Remy aswell but I owed my mum some money:( Ooh, also got Sf 2 issue 3, which is okay, a bit short though. FP also finally got the Capcom vs SNK toys in aswell, so I may get haohmaru and maybe akuma, just for the dark hadou waves, ooh and maybe mai, okay all of them, but I really really want an Iori, no sight of them though.

[feedme]

sweet SF stuff there hazard..congrats.
oh blaze if it was me i would want LOD in my hands to inspect it before laying down the moola..its horrible whats happening to peoples LOD in shipping.Excellent figure though and if you do get one hope it arrives decent.
anyone order the exclusives today..(had to ask it..well better than starting another thread aint it ha)

[Daywalker UK]

Got a boardbuddy who lives 5 minutes from the spawn store and is picking me up a hanging spawn when it hits the shelves next Monday :) Saves me a fortune on shipping.
Not bothered about the blue spawn.

[feedme]

sweet deal there daywalker..it would have cost me a total of $66 for one of each ..shipping takes the cake sometimes on here

[Daywalker UK]

Yup, it's good to talk :)
Shouldn't set me back more than $18 for the one I want hopefully.

[feedme]

BT..tis good to talk reminded me of bob hoskins with a blue flame coming aoutta his thumb..ha

[Phoenix Blaze]

CC's just aren't fair for us, remember the awfulness of Graham's shipping for Clown? Oh and for the 20" LOD, I'd be buying it in store, so now getting bashed around for me.

[feedme]

man my clown came alright but it was a pain in the arse getting him on the base..broke the pegs and all..due to it not fitting at all...madness

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

I got my SF Round 4 today :D . Emailed FP this morning asking if they'd got them in, they said they had and they would put a set aside for me. I got them plus an Akuma variant, he has a black gi on with white hair. :D :D :D

[NoRRiN]

hey awesome SF/SNK haul there Warning! ah now i have to go to FP.

but, did get these last week (ebay)

Got my SF4 pluss variant Shin Akuma x2 today from Forbidden Planet Manchester today, was great.

Got Dragons 3 Boxset also :D

Did your FP get anything else in of note?

[thejikas]

*faints at super power sf collection room*

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

Nothing to write home about. Although, they did have a few boxes they looked like they were going to unpack.

I'll try and get some good pics of my new SF set-up. I've got rid of the shelves with the ReSaurus figures on and nailed them to the wall below my SOTAs :D

The Mighty Wall of SF!!!

[feedme]

ICS yes you can!
haha
great moc wall there man..oh how i'd love to open them all

[Phoenix Blaze]

Awesome stuff Chokcing Hazard, awesome indeed, now open them, atleast all the player 1's, you'll feel much better:D The white hair and black gi was supposed to be the 1 per caser Shin Akuma is it not? can you tell if he has the symbol on his back?

[BatmanDKR]

If it helps at all I've opened mine and he has the white symbol on the back .

[Phoenix Blaze]

Cool, thanks, was tempted to get one (even with my purple gi one) just cos Akum ain a black gi looks awesome, may buy some of his variants when i see them, none of the others though, p'shaw. Just hope come this saturday FP will have the other 3 in stock. (birdie Ibuki and Remy) on that note am I one of the few who thinks Remy freakin' rocks?

[AngelsRose]

Choking hazard...dude! where the **** do you find room for that sweet SF collection?! lol Nowt to report on my end, i'm skint till the end of next month....damn it for there begin so many temptations just as im saving for a hoil...bastard temptations...!

ooo...Vodka!*finds a random bottle in her cupboards* who wants to join me in a drinky drink? ^_^

[Phoenix Blaze]

Another SF haulage, was gonna get the Remy, but the High Dream Akuma just screamed at me to buy him, so I took him home:D But, upon opening him, he's not that good (compared to SOTA's), the leg artic. is kinda weird, but it is cool how he can be posed doing a hadouken or gou hadou rather. But I did find a better use for the dark hadou flames (which is why i bought it really), my purple Shin Akuma, they look awesome on him, and he looks freakin' badass I highly recommend people do this, it looks so awesome and cos the SOTA toys are a bit smaller, its even cooler!!!

Anyway, that and toyfare are all the buys for today and my Series 1 Bison arrived, thats for another boardie, which should result in me finally getting my fabled issue 109!!!!!


PS, my Shin Akuma freakin' rocks!!!!!

[Phoenix Blaze]

New collection pics folks, big ones at that,

http://board.spawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=293214

[Warning - Choking Hazard]

Awesome collection pics. I've always liked the look of Trigun figures/characters, but have never seen the film of it before.

I'm so going to have to buy another SOTA Akuma to open he rules. I have Evil Ryu, white Ken and a Guile opened because i like them so much. Im going to get another Akuma :)

[Phoenix Blaze]

If you ever open your High Dream one I highly suggest (again) switching the dark hadou flames.

Not seen much of the trigun anime, of what I have seen, the manga beats it hands down.

[Graham]

anyone know if the dracula set is out yet? cos it looks like my FP order has been processed......

[BatmanDKR]

I wouldn't be suprised if that hits towards the end of the week.

Also Manchester FP got the Hobgoblin wave of Amazing Spider-man in today :D

[Phoenix Blaze]

More Street Fighting hauls, today i got Ibuki and remy (who rocks), woulda gotten Birdie but he was nowhere to be seen so I got the HD Haohmaru, who is okay, pretty annoyed the sword doesn't go into the sheeth:mad: And for my Ibuki, the left hand is kinda stuck and when I pull I can see the plastic stretching so I'll be leaving that in there for now. I also finally got SF 2 the anime (was waiting for it to go on sale) and the awesome Masters of the Universe, an Incubus CD for my sister's birthday and a denim jacket which I promptly cut the sleeves off. I'd do a picture haul but I really can't be arsed. All in all, a very awesome day indeed.

[feedme]

hey folks..my dracula set is on its way aswell as 12"frank the bunny..lets hope the old posty don't have a heart attack

[AngelsRose]

Anyone know anywhere i can get a socceror(sp?) dragon from series 1? can't find any in brum.

ebay would probably be your best bet....seems to crop up on there regularly......and dragons aren't too expensive just yet.

hmmm... nah, not yet mate but thanks for offering.

Nice stuff there feedme, new additions? Can't say I'm moved by the Drac boxset but can understand why others would be.


Just in case you guys miss it, i've put up a little compo in the BST board to celebrate exceeding 1000 posts. Good luck :)

[feedme]

yes latest additions daywalker.I'm still waiting for the ccx blue spawn ..and i ordered the drac and frank figures after the ccx fig..slowness.

[Phoenix Blaze]

I want a blue spawn:( and we all know people are only buying the Drac boxed set for....the crate!:D

[Aqua34_Purple52]

Got my Devil's Rejects set on Monday....it owns..

[Peter Peeker]

happy belated birthday to your monach.:)

[Daywalker UK]

huh? Oh, was it her birthday then?
Personally I think they should all be cut-off and have to fend for themselves. The time when they actually did anything of worth has long since gone and they're all just a bit of an embarrasment now, not to mention a drain on taxpayers money.
Still, that's just my opinion :)

[Aqua34_Purple52]

happy belated birthday to your monach.:)

She's your monarch, too....;)

[KITCH]

PIMP ;)

[Graham]

forbidden planet are getting in a limited number of cases of the marvel legends walmart wave.......they recommend buying a case, cos then you're actually guaranteed to complete your giant man build-a-fig.....but, £130? i love my marvel legends, and i've wanted a giant man BAF for ages, but i'm gonna pass on this series......

Finally manged to get something with the cash shortage with me at the moment, this week,Dante from Devil May Cry... its uber nifty. ^_^

[Phoenix Blaze]

wait.....DMC1 Dante, if so, get me one get me one!!!

[BritishSpawn]

If you guys want the Wal-Mart Legends line and don't mind getting them late they will should be coming to ASDA stores and should be hitting in a few months but not 100% sure when, i heard latest of October but hopefully before. They will be at least half the price of what FP is selling them at now.

[Quikman]

Will come to the UK first week of June to visit a girlfriend who studys there in London. I will also attend AA ( auto assembly ) in Birmingham on June 3:d , If all goes as planned Ill be there thursday 1:st of June and go back 6:th of June. If any UK boarde wanna meet up for a coffee or something like that Im all for it perhapps give me a toytour

//Mac

[AngelsRose]

wait.....DMC1 Dante, if so, get me one get me one!!!
yep, i'll go back tomarrow and see if i can find another copy for you, it may be differcult but i shall certainly try my hardest.

Quikman, its great to hear your comming over, if you ever want to meet up with me while your in birmingham for a toytour or something, feel free to PM me.

[feedme]

*dons tour guide cap*
I look pretty shexy if i do say so myself....kinda.
I think we should do some sort of meet-up toy hunt somewhere.

[BritishSpawn]

The Latest Spiderman series including Spider-Hulk and Hobgoblin are now at Woolworths and i also saw the 12" or 14" i forget talking Superman and the smaller normal Superman Movie figures in Westgates.

[Quikman]

Well its confiremd I maed the plane tickets resarvation , Ill be landing around noon in London May 31 and head back Monday evening June 5 , now just need to get that AA tickt to. then Im all set.

AngelsRose, yeha that would be sweet, We can talk more when times draws near, perhapps any other UK:ers wanna tag along.

[Phoenix Blaze]

oooh....a meet up....and ooh, Quikman is a swede.....ooh....(very VERY limited knowldge of the language so mistakes arrama), but I can say to you, minus the accents of course,

dit javla cpbarn!!!!

that's pretty much the extent of my swedish, than and tjenare and heyda....I'll learn it someday.......

[Quikman]

haha , well at least u learned some of the better words ;)

[feedme]

I ordered me the sideshow jason part 7 there yesterday..should be here next week or so..ooh and ml7 is back on the pegs here at my local smyths..man how retro

[Daywalker UK]

That's weird... The Apocalypse series suddenly appeared in local Woolies today too? Must be having a clearout.

Check this out, I know that old Ed has shot up in price recently but this is just madness!!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EDWARD-SCISSORHANDS-18-TALL-FIGURE_W0QQitemZ9131906288QQcategoryZ53593QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Another piece of madness, I've packed away every damn single one of my figures :( Putting the house on the market in a month or so to make the big move up north and the missus didn't think that my tasteful displays would help entice a buyer?

Really sad to pack them away but will be great fun unpacking them all in 10 weeks or so :)
Plus, I've become a temporary MOCcer foccer (albeit a cheating one) by putting many of them back in the packaging and sticking them up with sellotape :) Do I get a badge or a hat or something?

[Daywalker UK]

My Best Buy Exclusive Unleashed Vader turned up today.
Not an Unleashed collector but couldn't pass this up at the ridiculously low price it went for on Ebay. Very nice it is too.... and fricking HUGE!

[Graham]

cool....i've been tempted many times by some of the unleashed figures.....but i know that if i bought one, i'd have to buy more......and they're pretty expensive. heh.

anyway......been a bit slack for me on the toy front in recent weeks. but that's all set to change this week......dracula set, half of family guy series 5 and the now playing killer klown exclusive should all be here within the next week or so.....

[Daywalker UK]

Nice list! Peaks and troughs huh G?

I got the Vader for £8.50 DLVD on the Bay...was listed in the wrong category I reckon.

[Graham]

Nice list! Peaks and troughs huh G?

I got the Vader for £8.50 DLVD on the Bay...was listed in the wrong category I reckon.

wow.....good deal......i've seen unleashed in forbidden planet for upwards of 20 quid.

and yeah......been thinning out my collection, so i've been a lot more selective in what i buy. family guy and now playing are probably the only lines i'm concentrating on fully now. other than that, just buying the occasional figure here and there (picking up 2 or 3 figures from every cult classics series), and catching up on some things i've missed.....like 1000 corpses/devils rejects......

[Daywalker UK]

Well if you want a Vader he has re-listed them, same category, same price. There are 3 for sale so there's a good chance of picking one up at £8.49

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9134691691&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BID_IT

He sends next day and well-packed too. Can't pass it up at that price, especially as it's best buy version with a massive display tank!

[UKGaz]

WOOT. Finished my last exam yesterday :D

[Daywalker UK]

Congrats Gaz... noe you just have to wait on the results!

[UKGaz]

Our lecturers are currently on strike so they wont mark any work and if this is not resolved by the 24th May then I don't think I will be graduating this time :(, the wankers.

[Daywalker UK]

Lazy b'stards! They get shatloads of holiday and a decent salary so why are they always striking?
SO what happens if they don't mark your papers then?

[UKGaz]

We cant graduate in July so it will mean either graduating later on in year or next year, is a ball ache for those that will be applying for jobs soon and will need their degree.

[Daywalker UK]

What a crock!

[Phoenix Blaze]

hmm, it seems stuff has happened, been off the boards for a few days, my exams have come and I totally messed up my Engineering so today and the weekend will be studying (did a 9 hour slog today, started at half 9!), but it does mean I just might be able to pass my maths exam after a year of pissing about. Then it's job time:( but that means money time and toy time:D Apart from that, not 1 single toy buy in ages, nothing, nada.

[UKGaz]

Im waiting on the marvel face off 2 packs at the mo, gotta get me both Daredevil 2 packs :D

[Phoenix Blaze]

yay exams are over! most likely failed engineering but most likely passed maths to make up for it, yay!!!!

[UKGaz]

Have me graduation ball on friday, how ironic lol

[Phoenix Blaze]

Haulage after a long time without anything. But alas things have gone wrong, I got a Birdie from SF round 4 in FP today, but getting home I realised it's the god damn grey variant! argh! I only want player 1 characters and Birdie isn't a character I'd like to have multiples of. So I gotta either trade it for a blue one or go and exchange it for a blue one which might be difficult seeing as there weren't any there.

[Graham]

so, i've been thinking.....and i've decided to get rid of my ML's......i'm ebaying some of the more sought after ones, then gonna try and offload the others somehow.

http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZgrahamisevilQQhtZ-1

[Quikman]

one more week then Im off to the UK :D

[Phoenix Blaze]

bra!

(see I can use words in day to day context)

Where abouts in the UK are you going though?

[Quikman]

Im comming to stay in London and on Saturday Im heading to Birmingham to attend Auto Assembly a Transformers con.

[Phoenix Blaze]

there's an auto-assembley on? why do I never hear about these things until the week before, damn it all.

[Quikman]

so how many UK:ers wanna go on a toy hunt or just take a coffee and get togheter , Im a social person so I would like to meet as many as possible.

[Phoenix Blaze]

sounds like a good idea, but me being the poor examing student means I can't do anything really, even over the summer...I got resits......:( ....I want some vintage transformers....not fair...:(

[Quikman]

sorry to hear PB , but perhapps someone else wanna hang out for a while ?

[UKGaz]

Am off watching x men 3 in a mo :D

[yikhaichan]

I saw it yesterday, enjoy it UKGaz

[Phoenix Blaze]

opened my 27th SF toy yay! Yes opened my grey variant birdie...which isn't grey....the legs are a lot more blue and on closer inspection it looks like a really bad blue paint job. Either way, it's okay, not being an original Super Street Fighter 2 character I'm not too bothered that his colour isn't exact (I had kittens when I god the wrong Chun Li though). And Death Note 5 finally came out, read it on the day, it's awesome!!! Now I can't wait for number 6. Annoyingly though, I think I've missed the new Cable and Deadpool, so I gotta go hunting for that now. Piffle indeed. How was Auto Assembly Quickman, or has it not happened yet?

[Graham]

haul for today......salesman tattoo variant from FG series 5, and some 3" spawns......got mandy, skullsplitter, santa spawn and i85......they're pretty nifty.....although i've broken skullsplitter somehow.......his horns have snapped off.

[Phoenix Blaze]

where of where did you get the graham? and for how much? I'm dying to paint these little buggers, but I can't find them yet:(

[Graham]

ebay......there's loads on there, but these were the only ones that were definitely the original paint versions.

[Quikman]

hi guys , right now im sitting in finnsbury park with a friend of mine im viseting, i was around a bit in crydon and checked the tru and the small forbidden planet. gonna hit the big one fri or sunday. anyway , if there is any boarder in london that wanna meet for a coffee or something then dont hesitate to pm me and ill hit u back with my cell number.

mac

[yikhaichan]

Hey Quikman, I advise trying to go to London on Saturday because theres a comic book shop closing called Comic Showcase, and there'll be cheap items as they try to clear stock and there's supposedly alcohol. Also Dave Gibbons, artist of "Watchmen", will be there. Its quite close to Forbidden Planet, down Charing Cross Road, towards Charing Cross. Unfortunately, I'm at work over the next couple of days, including Sunday so I can't meet up. Hope London treats you well...

Also here because its that time to shamelessly pimp my eBay items. Not really figures, but mainly recent sets of comics starting off around the price for a single issue. Check it out:
http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZyikhai

Anyone seen Resident Evil 4 series 2 yet? I've managed to order the RE4 RPD Leon SDCC exclusive from FPI and hopefully I'll get that by the end of August.

[yikhaichan]

Sorry, I gave false information above. Comic Showcase doesn't close until Saturday 17th June, I misread. But check out my auctions! *pimp-pimp*

[UKGaz]

Graduation has been postponed until this strike is over, the wankers

[yikhaichan]

These strikes are a right biatch, the marking of my final project is being postponed by my project supervisor until it gets resolved. I'll eventually graduate but everything is up in the air, its insane. The results day for me is 20th June which is less then 3 weeks away...

On a positive note, I managed to pick up DC Superheroes Superman which is a really nice figure considering all the other Superman figures that have been dished out lately. Articulation fans should take note of this figure and superhero fans should just pick it up.

[Phoenix Blaze]

Anyone know where to get Binaltechs for cheap? like uber cheap? FP have some on sale for £25 down from £40, but lack of money means no buying, and they might be gone soon. I need a place which regularly sells them at damn good prices.

[yikhaichan]

Hey guys, I've joined up with ComicBookBin.com and I'm currently writing figure reviews on a semi-regular basis. Bascially helping a friend out who needs extra content. So my first review - Superman: DC Superheroes Wave 2.

http://comicbookbin.com/supesdcd000.html

Definitive Superman figure? I almost thought so. Thanks for checking it out.

[AngelsRose]

Hey! sorry if i missed you when you were in Birmingham,Quikman! my computer and my bank have been bastards towards me lately...:mad:

[Phoenix Blaze]

annoyance at lack of money, FP has just got the new FF8 toys in, and damn at £20 each I can't afford that, or anything for that matter. I really really want these buggers, but I need money........:(

[cerealwarz]

Need Help from UK boardies.....

It dawned on me to post this here besides the other topic I posted.

Some of you may know that I'm big into sneakers. On June 24th (11am) Stussy UK will release two colourways of the Court Force Low . The sneakers will be sold as a pack, also containing a James Jarvis designed 'Leon' doll.

The lines in NYC for things like this are insane. I have heard that they are not that crazy in the UK and Europe. Can anyone try to help me out with a pair of each of these. I will pay cost + shipping + fees through PayPal.

In return, I will offer the choice of two things if you are able to get them for me.
1. I can return the favor and purchase something for you under the same c + s + f.
2. Give me a want list recently released toys and older McFarlane / Marvel items and I will send 3 of them to you free of charge. I will give you a list from my collection to choose from.

I would like to settle the terms asap in case it may take me more than a few days to come up with the items.

I also have no clue how much they are and I will need that information. I also have no idea what it may be like at Stussy. So if anyone can find those things out I would appreciate it because if they expect tons of people (over 200 and have 100 sneakers) I do not want anyone to waste their time.

Thanks

lol.....sorry cerealwarz, this thread is pretty much dead now......

anyway....

EBAY PRE-HAUL!!!!

ordered a few issues of walking dead and spawn, which i need to fill some gaps.....nearly bid on walking dead #1, but it was going for over £30!

also......won S29 ninja spawn, spawn 9 and thamuz.....and the simpsons couch gag set.....

can't pay for them for a couple of days, so i should have them in just over a week. can't wait for the S29 stuff!

[yikhaichan]

Where have all the mighty Britons gone? Someone should convince us to stop watching the World Cup and continue hauling. I've been waiting for people to bump this thread for ages. Theres only so much self conversation one person can take...

Hey cerealwarz, sorry to hear about your dilema, I'm no longer in Central London so I can't help you there. I'm not sure how many other London boardies there are...

Sweet pre-haul Graham, how much is the Simpons couch gag supposed to retail at? I saw it at a Gamestation store for £19.99. Probably won't end up getting it, I have no more room. I've done a bit of hauling but nothing overly interesting. Until next time...

[Graham]

i don't know what the normal price is, but i got it for £17.99 plus postage.....same seller as the spawn stuff, so it shouldn't come to *that* much......

[Daywalker UK]

Ooh, the brits are back! Let's invade....

Got a SDCC exclusive puppet master totem today. Really starting to fall for those puppet master figs now. Gold leech woman and preview tunneler due next week. This will be my first MOC collection!!! I feel dirty already :(

Also received Devils rejects, Saw, and Dawn of the dead comics today. Was really impressed with D.R. and D.O.T.D. but Saw sucks somewhat.

Finally, i won a loose skullsplitter on the bay for £6.49 DLVD.... Billy bargain!

[Graham]

OPEN THEM

Im shocked cause it seems like less than 10 in the UK

this thread is pretty much dead now......

Not as bad as the NY thread. The Malaysian thread is the only one that has a pulse.

So thats how much loose Skullsplitters are worth today *makes mental note* and welcome to the "Half Loose, half MOC Club". It hurts that we're so indecisive. I only have a couple MOC stuff because I don't have room for extra sections on my shelves for them, nothing extremely valuable or worth alot.

I know this is kind of old but does anyone else have the 18" Capt'n Jack Sparrow? I broke down and bought it when I was in Paris last weekend and I think its absolutely great. First 18" figure, now longly waiting for a Resident Evil one

Well.... the last loose one i saw sell on the bay went for about £16 so this really was a nice win for me :)

OPEN THEM

Normally i'd be right there with ya G but in this case i feel that the packaging actually enhances the figures, plus due to the ridiculous amount of variants in the Puppet master line it's nice to have those special little stickers on the bubble :)
It's not often you get figs with card backs now, they all seem to be in blisters which just take up too much room to display MOC in my opinion. Once we've moved house I'll be picking a wall to hang my puppet masters on and I reckon they'll look sweet as!

It's really not good enough. There is no figure trading community in the UK which sucks muchly :(

[Graham]

yeah.....i've seen some of those puppet master figs....and they do look kinda nice in package, so i can see where you're coming from......

[UKGaz]

Hey fellow Brits, hope you are all doing good. I get my uni results on 27th July and should graduate on 24th October. I've also applied for the police so hopefully that will go well. :D No hauls for me lately as there is sweet fa out there that takes me interest. Just waiting for the Daredevil face off 2 packs to arrive over here now

[AngelsRose]

'Ello there me fellow brits! Woo hoo! great news for me anyhoo. Y'know how I whined a few pages back bout a Sephiroth Figure I saw in Nostalgia that was £65 odd quid and how I really wanted it? Well I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me a few weeks to scrape up the cash for it after my bank screwed me over on one which I've sorted. It looks super spiffy with my two others Sephiroth figures...god, i'm becomming a uber Sephy fan girl....^_^

[yikhaichan]

What Sephiroth figure is worth £65? Was it the resin statue? If it is, good haul, I really like those Kotobukiya statues. I only have the Play Arts Advent Children one and that ones good enough. I love the Cloud + Fenrir bike which I think I paid £45 for. Its uber sheshy, haha.

Hey UKGaz, good luck with the results, mine come out on Tuesday and with all those damn acedemic strikes, I dunno if I'll get a final grade. 24th October, and I though my 28th August graduation was late...ah well

Marvel Legends ICONS are just around the corner. As the article below says, they look like 2-ups rather then products. The Wolverine looks a little strange, as if its teeth are bleeding and the Iron Man looks a bit boring but I want that Captain America, I need it! Enjoy

got my results through. A terrible E in Basic Engineering M1B, but somehow, someway, I got an A in Applicable Maths 1B, I was expecting a C at best, but an A freakin' rocks!

No toys though, like at all:(

[yikhaichan]

Went on a random short road trip and stopped by one of the comic stores I often go to around me and finally found NECA Resident Evil 4 series 2 so picked up my main priority, Krauser. Fantastic looking figure if not a little stiff, check out his sculpted mutated arm:

shame i have no interest in RE4, cos those figs are nice!!


anyway....need to part with some stuff.....ebaying some of the more "sought after", for want of a better word......

http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZgrahamisevilQQhtZ-1

that pred has been stuck at the back of the shelf for a couple of years now.....and i'm not really into the whole alien/pred thing as much as i used to be.....love the movies, but the figs do nothing for me any more......

ajax.....was hoping of picking up the rest of the warriors, but alas they're harder to find than lord lucan.....so i'm giving up and putting this guy up for sale. nice fig, but without the other guys he doesn't really fit in with anything else.....

gonna have to sort a lot of things out.....things i don't want any more, things that have been packed away......might end up doing a b/s/t list after all these years....

[yikhaichan]

I hear ya, I've bought some random stuff (especially off eBay) which don't blend well with the main stuff I collect as well as not caring for it anymore. I also have stuff which have been replaced by newer version, especially Toybiz figures. May need to break down and sift through some of the stuff I really have no need for.

Good luck with your auctions, G-man. BTW, are you not interested in RE4 or RE in general? Its about freakin' zombies though, hahaha. I love the games, always have. Not much for searching for missing parts, combining them and proceeding but more the atmosphere and the survival aspect while running dangerously low on ammo. I will never get tired at the bone crunching head-shot effects.

[atriot_vl]

hey guys. how's everyone over there. have ben a while since i dropped by.
times are different now with work and stuff. just crazy....
hows eveyrone over there doing? football fever?
i actually cut down on buying figs these days.... cant find anything that interest me much anymore :(

don't have access to a PS2, or a gamecube, so i've never had a chance to play RE4.......never really liked the other RE games either......i think it was the controls that did it.....cos i usually love anything to do with zombies. think i'm more of a house of the dead fan. :D

like the character design, but it isn't enough to sell these figures for me.

yeah....i'm not really buying that much stuff now......just dropped £50 on half of spawn 29, and the simpsons couch set.....first figures in over a month......thought i was gonna get hooked on the spawn trading figs, but that never happened. i'll finish up on spawn 29, and there's cult classics 4 coming in a couple of weeks......then it's the waiting game.......now playing 3, whenever it appears, and family guy series 6......then there's the 3D posters......actually that's more stuff than i thought!!

and yep.....football fever......never in a million years did i think i'd watch saudi arabia vs ukraine.....yet that's what i'm doing right now!

[atriot_vl]

yea i am only marginally interested in 2 or 3 figs from S29.... other than that...akuma from sota... and the dragons 3 boxset... nothing much. the simpsons couch set looks nice though. much better than the donut one. the jaws 3d thing i am planning to get too....erm other than that... nothing much.
is there anymore HB comic coming out soon?

haha i nvr really was intereste in footie. but the fever has kinda cuahgt up to me too. the argentina match was magic though.

HAHA!!! chelsea? absolutely not.......born a magpie.....die a magpie. :p

i think HB comic series 2 is due out in the autumn some time.......

The controls to RE4 are much better, not as clunky and I prefer the semi first-third person view. Its coming to the PC in September I think.

Hey atriot, I'm buying less now then when you were still in UK due to limited space. I've had to cut down on Marvel Legends and so I buy more comics, hahaha. I'm still getting that Marvel Figurine Collection though £5.99 is still a hefty price. More selling then buying on eBay but back in the swing again. The only fever I have is hayfever.

Can I crash that Malaysian Thread some time ;)
