Poole,Dorset.

That particular ASDA has been pretty cool for SW stuff - found a Darth Malgus there too

Time to pimp out my mate's site again: Action Figure Supplies has Wave 3 up for pre-order Marvel Universe Action Figures | Action Figure Supplies and the free delivery code still works today MAYTHE4TH

On a Star Wars note, I've always found Sainsburys to be good for SW figs.

Doing a big blockbuster three way trade this week. From mucollectorclub and a Facebook fan group. (Totally safe trades one vetted member and the Facebook guy I have bought from eBay and traded on FB already)
Anyway, basically in the end I will loose my Skrull Army (8 MU and 5 movie line figures) and Maria Hill. Maria is a second Maria I scored on eBay for 34 quid.... really good price for her. And ends up I will get a Taco Truck still sealed. 4 of the tru light up Avengers Assemble bases (half circle) pics in the link below. A custom horse for Black Knight and 6 common figures that I still need.

I will miss the Skrulls, but they are easy to find and can be got from China for 8.50 shipped for the MU and the movie figures are cheap right now from China bay as well. Maria was a spare, was gonna use the body for a head swap Invisible Woman for a custom Sharron Carter. But she is too rare and that seemed like a good trade. Now I will get one Skrull a month and build back up!!!

Yh that sounds like a pretty good deal!

Goldengreg · 05-06-2014, 05:42 AM

Be careful with Facebook Ukmu, I bought twice figures from a veteran in a marvel group as well, but she never sent the figs and never responded my messages...
Toyark rules!

ukmu · 05-07-2014, 07:08 AM

True that.... I have a rule with FB.... I get the figures, then I mail the figures. If they cant hang.... they dont get! Good looking out though! I hope your holiday with your family in Florida went as good as it sounds!!! PM me your address and I will send you your brand new BagHead Spidey!

mikeyb101 · 05-09-2014, 07:23 AM

ehhh, It's no wave 3 but hey they are getting smarter with repacks at least!

ukmu · 05-10-2014, 10:30 AM

Your package is on its way goldengreg....

Lionheart · 05-12-2014, 04:07 PM

I'm ok with a 'breather' wave. The variant Wondy will be the only must have in this wave (for most people I imagine).

I was confused about the inclusion of the GotG figs in this wave, but Hasbro will be timing it with the movie, so I guess retailers are more likely to keep the waves coming in with movie related figs in them.

ukmu · 05-14-2014, 02:49 PM

I never had a chance to pick up the GotG figures.... Should be able to grab these guys pretty cheap.

I was talking to my cousin back in Hawaii (my home) on Maui. He is a shaper ( a guy that builds surf boards ) Anyway.... I have been kicking the idea of him making a fibreglass 'shell' for the bottom of our Super Helicarrier. It would be light weight, perfectly smooth and fit like a glove. Still a ways off, just thought I would share with my UK gang.

Looks like we might have 4 days of sunshine here this weekend.... SWEEEEET.

Gonna Pick up Blaze early from school at 1:30 tomorrow (thursday)
Told him AND the head teacher he has a dentist appointment. In fact though.... I am taking him to GODZILLA in 3D!!!! Should get my award for COOLEST DAD EVER or WORST DAD EVER...depends who you ask!

Found our AIM playset finally!!! It is £40 though on amazon.co.uk

Gonna see if I can find one on ebay for 10 quid or so... I will post once I have one. It is PERFECT!!!! Been looking for something for almost 2 years for AIM. Blaze took MODOK (baf) on BRING YOUR TEDDY TO SCHOOL DAY a few weeks back.....

Primacron · 05-14-2014, 03:16 PM

Marvel Infinite W1 has hit the UK now, FP had all but Wasp, Hamleys had them all!

UKMU, what are you using as an AIM base?

Yeah seems like smart marketing to me for a change. There is a dedicated 2.5" scale GOTG line coming out though in July (not sure if it will be released in the UK though) and there's 6" Legends as well with BAF Groot. Spotted on Twitter that Action Figure Supplies has the GOTG Legends up for pre-order and Space Armour Iron Man and Nova are also in that wave.

ukmu · 05-15-2014, 11:55 PM

Godzilla was AWESOME!!!!!! More like the old school formula than the Matthew Broderick slop fest.

I will show the AIM playset, but there is just one on Amazon, and nil on eBay. Once I got it, I will post it... sorry, a lot of curlers on here.

ukmu · 05-16-2014, 01:31 AM

Does anyone know if there is a 3.75" fourth doctor Tom Baker figure??? And where to buy it?

mikeyb101 · 05-16-2014, 06:48 AM

I can't wait to see Godzilla. When I first heard about it I thought "oh no not again" but this one actually looks really cool.

Dapol used to make a DR Who range back in the day and they did a 4th doctor. There's some on ebay dapol doctor who tom baker | eBay

MGTAJ · 05-18-2014, 10:43 AM

I know there aren't a lot of UK specific threads on here but can we at least try to keep it Marvel? As the OP for this thread, I don't mind the typical de-railment for Legends talk - it always happens but going Dr Who and Godzilla is just unnecessary if I'm honest. There are other places on the site that could definitely use the traffic if you want to chat that stuff.

mikeyb101 · 05-19-2014, 12:43 PM

As a newb here, is there a specific UK Legends thread here?

ukmu · 05-19-2014, 12:53 PM

nope........... this is the ONLY uk thread that is active.

Not that I know of. This becoming a General UK Marvel Thread I'd be ok with but if a thread doesn't exist - create it.

It wouldn't take too long for someone to create one either. People unwilling to stay remotely on topic is a big reason for the old threads disappearing a while back. I'm no mod and don't claim to be but some order regarding staying on topic somewhat is ideal. We come here to chat Marvel man
