Next: London Comic and film con:

I could only managed to go on Sunday, as I had work commitments, so the Phoenix/Cyclops set was gone >sniff<, and I was exhausted, as I had a busy day and hospital vigil the previous night (all is well now). So I wasn't thinking clearly.

It was at the Olympia exhibition centre, and it's two huge rooms annexed by a tunnel.
The only two stalls carrying ML were each at different rooms.
I did a bee line for one, saw the Netflix and Thor waves, but I wanted the Phoenix two pack, so I dashed to the other room. Sold out. Plenty of MJ/Spidey, and... Human Torch.

Fine I thought. I'll compare prices. Went back to previous stall. No Torch. I had a budget for six figures, and I just was so tired. Run back to other store. Torch was gone.

Idiot. Now you gotta understand how difficult and expensive is to get ML in the UK. We pay at least double for each figure, due to taxes. And I'm savvy, and done this for awhile. But I fudged it.
Anyway, went back for what I knew was the hardest to get: Hela.
Gone. By then I'm so upset, and tired. I asked as I saw mail boxes, behind. The guy talk to another guy, then came back to me and told me he had it, but it would be 10£ more, as he had to opened a fresh case, and obviously she was the one in demand.
I said, whatever. Let's have it.
Nevermind, I ended with Hela, Jessica, Blade, Elektra and Jane Thor ( which I didn't need as I ordered the SDCC exclusive set, thinking it'll be hard to find. Guess what's? It's not.
The bloody A-Force set is the hard one so far. And Sif is the most wanted figure. Go (sorry) figure.
This is how much harder and far more expensive is to collect ML in Europe.
