Finally received the last BAF piece that I needed to finish Ultron Prime...I didn't expect much out of him, but I actually ended up liking him a lot more than I thought I would.
On a side note...I really hope that Hasbro improves the QC on the arm sockets for these build a figures. This is the third BAF in a row (Odin and Thanos as well) where the arms fit really loose in the socket, with near helicopter action. It's nothing a little super glue or nail varnish can't fix, but to have this phenomenon happen three times in a row, on the same limb (It's always the right arm, never the legs...) is a little beyond coincidental. |

Those are the only figures I plan on keeping out of the sets.

No idea but these are missing the upper arm stripes as well.

The Figurearts version looks sick...had I known it was going to look that good, I might have waited. But then again, one thing that I liked about this BAF was the size (Ultron Prime was much bigger than I thought he would be...)and I'm really not too sure that the Figurearts version will out do him there. A small loot pile from BBTS arrived today, so happy to finally have Wild Rider...erm....I mean "Brake Neck" and "Jason Lives" Jason! He's amazing, even outclassing my Sideshow Toys version of him... and a few more Aliens and Predators for the wall... |

Went to Walmart today for cereal and milk, and decided to pick this up.
I almost bought the Antman set too, but I had a hard time getting myself to spend fifty dollars on Legos. Especially when I was only planning on spending five to ten bucks. |

Went to a 2nd hand store that sells vinyl records and a lot of other old stuff looking for comics they had mentioned they had (via their Facebook page) and found these -
The old UK Matchbox I got cause I am pretty sure I had as a kid this model and the TF logo pieces are cast resin and hand painted made by a local collector and now are fridge magnets for me.

Went to get Raiden (first non-Legends/DCUC fig I've purchased in years) at TRU and I couldn't resist Tiger Shark...My utter failure in impulse control was made immediately worse when I arrived home and found a message in my inbox notifying me that my BBTS Ultron wave was shipped that very day...what a fool I am...
Well, Raiden is as cool as billed and there are far worse things to suffer through than having two Tiger Sharks. |

Welp, unless I happen to find White Tiger out in the wild, this is the last non-gaming related purchase I'll be making for a long time. Have to choose between my hobbies. Paintball was cut first, then comics, now toys. Video games always come first.
At least my DC collection can be considered complete (to me) now that I have a Nightwing and Poison Ivy. And I finally have a good Scarlet Spider to replace my old MU version! Plus I'll get to arrange/organize my shelves now that everything won't be in a constant state of flux, so there's that. |

Loving the DC shelf. Origins Batman looks so awesome with the comic grey/black coloring.

Nice. Make sure you're gentle with those Injustice figures. They're sweet but so fragile sometimes.

I haven't kept up with DC since the New 52 but that is a solid looking Joker. Similar to his Arkham Origins design with the darker colors and just less going on in general.

Well, it's been a while since I've done a haul post, so brace yourself, I've picked up a bunch over these past few weeks!
I had to have this bag! Wanted to pick up a couple of these when I saw them in the wild here in the UK. Interested to see what they're like. Super happy to have this guy added to my collection, he's awesome! Now onto my bargains! Both of these for 50% off This guy for 50% off. Looks like a pretty cool Batman and I dig that diorama piece! I've been putting off picking up Black Cat for a while as she was peg warming for the longest time at the toy store I visit and she was continuing to drop in price. So for 75% off I went for her And the same store had this guy for 50% off. Happy days! So I almost bought the new Wasp Marvel Legends figure today for £22.99 but instead paid £28.98 for 2 Marvel Legends, the Batman figure, and the 2 Marvel 500 blind bags! I love a bargain me!

Here are a few more items I’ve picked up recently:
Deathstroke Volume 1 Gods Of War Graphic Novel Elektra Volume 2 Reverence Graphic Novel Star Wars Return Of The Jedi Vintage Battle At Sarlacc’s Pit Board Game The graphic novels were bought at Barnes and Noble. The board game was purchased at my LCS. I’d never heard of this particular Star Wars board game. I was under the impression that there had only been two vintage Star Wars board games dealing with Death Star events. This example I bought is complete with no broken playing pieces, although some of the pieces do need some touching up on the paint apps but I have a friend who should be able to handle that particular endeavor for me. The advertised “3D” Sail Barge doesn’t appear to be damaged and appears to have been nicely cared for by its previous owner.
