I've bought quite a few from Smyths. The one in Sheffield is mostly the concept wave. I wouldn't mind another cheap Shieldbreaker armor as it'd make a good Midas armor with a bit of gold paint.

I bought this one from Vipers Kingdom. I had to sand down the arc reactor and resculpt it.



This is the next evolution of a figure I've been wanting to do for ages the stealth Mk V painted black with the Tron Legacy Black Guard head. Still working out a backstory but I think he'll end up being a corrupt version of JARVIS (possibly like the new? Ultron origin).

does ANYONE here in the UK or EU have an Xman Origins BLOB for sale? My son wants one bad... thought I would ask.

A lot of people favour the Toybiz one... the artic isn't great, but then neither is the XMO one, and the Toybiz one comes with a couple of nice little accessories:

Also that A-Team van works great, always wondered about that.

It looks great and it's the perfect size, but I was mega disappointed in it. The entire back of the vehicle (apart from the side door) is useless because of the sound gimmick. Man... it could have been great if the back had opened up...

Also on ebay uk there ia a FANTASTICAR that works so PERFECT for MU size. I have one myself and it is the business. It is 1.99 now and ends Saturday at 13:27...5.50 shipping

That Fantasticar really does rock! It's the perfect size but it weighs a ton! You can break it into three vehicles too!

Cheers Jackie boy!

Hey guys, just finished my Bday weekend, started on the 10th, some figs and graphic novels!! will have pics tomorrow. Plus a Deadpool Bday CAKE!

Anyway, just saw Forbidden Planet have pre-orders up for Avengers: Infinite: Wave 1!!

[ukmu]

good looking out dbl!!!! i just pre-ordered grim reaper and wasp

now i dont have to pay £20+ each on ebay!!!!!

also, thank you lionheart for the blob link.... i wrote to them about shipping and i hope i get him! i was told to use acetone to take off the yellow belt because it scratches easy and replace with a wide yellow postal rubber band. i dont know if i will but good to know. my son os dying for the xmo one, but i think this one is better. cheers.

[ukmu]

being that wasp is short packed one per case.... you should get to her before the scalpers do!!!!

[Jackieboy]

UKMU,im really hoping that is not the case(no pun intended)

[ukmu]

me too.... that is why for 10.99 i couldnt NOT buy her. thought about grabbing a few extra for the lads stateside as they will have a real challenge on their hands there. in the end i just ordered the one....and grim reaper for my HYDRA army.

[ukmu]

I was unaware how bad Forbidden Planet was at pre-oreders until both LIONHEART and JIMMY-O told me that they almost always f**k it up. Jimmy said he has had to cancel EVERY order ever because they are so slow and LionHeart informed me that 3 out of 5 times he was burnt..... 40% success from one and 0% from the other. Gutted. Oh well, here is to hoping. It is the best chance I have at this point.

[Jimmyo]

Wbcollect for my pre-order this time as I missed order sixtysix,

Hope it works out otherwise I will have to try BBTS

[mikeyb101]

Pre-orders also up on Action Figure Supplies for Infinite figures, £10.99 each or all 6 for £60-something.

Shipping is more than the fig, but isn't that often the way?

I love the fact that she comes with a mini version of herself. However, despite your optimism, we won't see her over here until well after the States, so you won't have to worry about them. FP will get them in maybe, maybe, in April.

[ukmu]

I took your advice and ordered elsewhere. I used the tip from Mikey B and ordered from Action Figure Supplies - Vintage Star Wars, Action Man, GI Joe weapons, vehicles & accessories

really nice people there...the guy Mike, customer service rep, even gave me a code for 5% off.It was for a tech problem not my negotiating skills. I am cheeky and ALWAYS try to get a bit off....even at Tesco I haggle. Wound up being £14.26 shipped 1st class.

I like that they offer you 6 or 7 different shipping options!!! Never ordered from them before but 100% will in the future.

[Jimmyo]

WOW awesome ad for MikeyB @ Action Figure supplies lol,

Just yanking your chain UKMU

[ukmu]

as long as I get Wasp...yank away. My wife ordered her for me today.

Did Vision come yet JimmyO? Still well jeal of that!!!

[DBL117]

Yh I decided not to go with FP ever, really bad customer service!

[Lionheart]

It looks like I'm the only one who's sticking with FP! Ha! Sheer stupidity on my part... who am I kidding - I'm gonna get them from the US at a stupid markup!

[ukmu]

Iam still keeping my order with FP for 1 Wasp and 1 Grim Reaper. An extra Wasp wouldnt be a bad thing. Didnt get GR from anywhere else, and as you guys know I am a spaz for HYDRA so he will have to be in the collection! So I am hoping FP comes through in April?

ANYWAY.... how do I get:
1. a feedback thread
2. a B/S/T
3. a signature pic
4. those little links you click on under the signature
5. a profile avatar under my name on the left


I am rubbish at tech things. I cant post pics, cant cut and paste, cant, cant do anything. In fact, if it wasnt for toys and porn...I wouldnt even know how to turn it on!!


....a little help please.

[DBL117]

What ukmu said! I would like to know as well haha

[Lionheart]

Short answer is:

Go to the top of the page and click on your name ('Welcome:--')
Click on the sub-heading 'User CP' (on the left).
Look at the list of options on the left of the page. That should cover a couple of your questions.

I think getting a BST you have to create a thread, and then link to it in your sig. For pics under your sig I think you just insert a pic the way you would for your avatar.

I could be wrong though... have a little fiddle!

[ukmu]

will do....just lost an auction an an A.I.M guy for £15. I have 4 of them now, and 3 on the way from a trade. I dont even want to army build them... I may have something wrong with me!!! I think 4 is enough..no maybe 8...maybe 32. I need to lie down! lol

lesson: NEVER start army building

[Jimmyo]

We stick to 3, unless we win a bunch of figures or see one cheap

[Jackieboy]

army building is fun

[ukmu]

....thanks jackieboy, seems that thirty IS the best number!!!

I love it... hope my HYDRA army gets there before summer (of 2020 )
it stinks when the army guy is super rare though. I pay about $25 dollars for them from the states, when and IF i can find them. They are breaking my spirit AND my wallet!!!

[Jackieboy]

the only reason i army build is because they are so cheap to buy here,certain things like AIM and MU Skrulls never seen the light of day here in my area,so i had to improvise.on a lighter note,my MU abomination arrived today,Niiiiiiiiiiiice figure.just waiting for black knight,omega red and XF nightcrawler

[DBL117]

Where are you getting the last wave from Jackieboy?
