I love the Helicarrier. Sadly it sits in a box since we got the Super Helicarrier. We are suckers for vehicles and plasters though. I paid a whooping £5 for both!!!! Got the retail one at Christmas 2012, was £85. Bought at Tesco. When you shop throughout the year you gain "club card points" when you scan your club card. I had £40 worth of vouchers and Christmas they double the points for toys...£40x2=££80 of the £85. The Super Helicarrier (2012 SDCC) was acquired at Christmas 2013 by writing to local charity that is involved with Hasbro. Told them what I wanted, hooked us up within a week!!! The thing was MASSIVE and instead of the Nick Fury shipping box, it was plain, but inside the flap it was stamped HASBRO PROMOTION UK OFFICES. Bottom line.... I think the Helicarriers are neat. Look GREAT hanging from the ceiling at a slight angle.

The Iron Man2 box set was available here for under a tenner. It was a shelf warmer forever. It was at TK MAXX(UK version of TJ MAXX-they always change.things here, don't know why...but like 30%of everything across the board is different, the TK/TJ name) Most of the one's floating around came from here. I saw several before but didn't collect then...DOH!

And finally, Nick Fury..... they make a similar one to the movie but with a blue comic paint job and white trim with a different head. The "black guy" (Samuel L. Jackson)version is actually Nick Fury Jr. They made a special mail in offer if you signed up to the digital comics of the older Nick Fury "white guy" (David Hasselhof) it went for upwards of $100 on the secondary market at one point. He is available on HTS now for $15.

Happy Sunday everyone.... hope you were able to get some sleep after the shortest night of the year. Birds woke me up at 4:12 am. Think I'll have a roast chicken for dinner...
