Collecting no more...

Ahhh fooled ya!

Still collecting! But the lines I am collecting are being drastically cut down.

It seemed like last year, being the first year on my own...I went a tad overboard and if I didn't find something I wanted, I merely started a new line.
This has now led to many different lines across my house, which looks a little here and there (AKA All over the place)

I only really noticed it when I purchased a nice set of balls.

Dragonballs that is.

They still sit on the sofa with me, simply because they don't fit anywhere, there is nothing for them to go with. Yeah they look nice, and I enjoy looking at my balls.
My mum has seen my balls
My friends have seen my balls
I even uploaded two picture of my balls onto facebook.
But it just doesn't help me and the placement of them.

So, I have decided that this year I shall only focus on the following
Star wars 6" line (I do honestly feel I may have come to an end with the 3 3/4 inch line and I find myself just collecting them here and there with no actual excitement behind them)
Transformers Generations (Though the plastic is weak, they look sweetttt)
Iron man - Who doesn't love iron man?
Power rangers - Been addicted to those since August 2013 and I don't think it's gonna calm down any time soon.

Unfortunately, the following lines are now being stopped:
Batman
Lego
Star Trek
Turtles
Doctor who
And random other bits

It's been really fun to collect all sorts, but it feels like the collection isn't getting the organisation and space for what I am really excited for.
Some figures I play around with all week - whereas some of the lines I am cancelling...I find I just take out of packaging and it's straight into the nearest open space to place them, never to be moved again.

I'm real excited for the lines I still have planned. In condensing, I will have more money to place towards the lines I am super excited for.
It also allows me to sell some of the stuff, to ensure it goes somewhere where it gets the attention.

Finally, if you ever see me in the street...Feel free to ask me about my balls- they are so perfect I think everyone will enjoy them.
Perhaps if you hold them, you'll make my dragon rise.
ok, I am done ruining your childhood

Till all are fun!

Toys R Us...With New Stock?

Hey hey guys,

So Saturday 24th March 2012, I went down to see my brother, to give him his birthday present. However, as I bought him a gift I was over come with extreme jealousy! I wanted some new stuff too.
I headed down to my local toys r us, and to my shock they had some of the Vintage collection Phantom Menace figures (Actually they had all of them, dunno why i said some, but now i am too lazy to click on the some, delete it and change it to all)
I am rather skint at the moment, but still took a few moments to crack open my bank and get six fantastic figures

Daultay Dofine

So first up we had Daultay Dofine-  oddly enough he was the first one I actually wanted to pick up, and I have to say, what a figure, fantastic articulation, awesome sculpt, and a free blaster too.

Hasbro, you do spoil us

Anakin Skywalker

This was the second guy I went for. This is the second release of this figure, the first we saw was the 1999 figure. Yes that figure was nice, but compared to this one, it really lacked

Included in this "Ball jointed everywhere" child comes with a Jedi training helmet..thing, a lightsabre, an unlit lightsabre and a training...ball

So Hasbro didn't try and skank us with this figure and what he lost in size was made up for in accessories

Battle Droid

This was the guy i picked up a bit hesitantly, and once i got him home, i realised why

The face sculpt is wayyyy off, and the size of the figure is smaller than even the Clone Wars Battle Droid

He comes with two interchangeable backpacks so you can make it a leader or just a normal battle droid - in my eyes though, get the saga legends.

Naboo Royal Guard

I believe this is the first time we have seen this figure, and what a time to come out, when Hasbro are at the top of their game with all this articulation.

I love this figure, and i am loving the highly detailed blasters that come with em

This guy only comes with a removable helmet and gun, but this is allowed as the figure is top notch

 Ratts Tyerell & Pit Droid

As we have all seen, i have slowly been getting all the podracing pilots, so to see this guy was awesome, articulation on these two are rubbish, but for a figure so small, that is to be expected.

The additional pit droid, weapon, removable helmet and detail just sell this figure

Just a shame, the picture on the cardback is the photo two seconds before he dies....

Ben Quadinaros & Otoga-222

As i just mentioned before, seeing podracing pilots in the vintage collection just feeds my addiction

Compared to Ratts, this guy as fantastic articulation, bit lacking in neck and body, but that's cos his neck is his body.

The pit droid is lacking in articulation but that is to be expected

The both of these make an awesome pack though

Bumblebee Comes To An End

That's right folks, it has all come to an end (No he hasn't died in the film, well i hope not anyway) But i mean for my Transformers Movie Bumblebees, I have now collected all of them. From his first version to his last. From his numerous deluxe versions to his leader class version. I am now proud to call my collection complete.

Every film that comes out, we get about 18 incarnations of bumblebee, and everyone seems to buy all of them, i find one bumblebee from each film, is enough for me. So, sure I don't have the biggest amount of bumblebees, but I have enough to be proud of.

As you can see from the picture alongside, the collection looks awesome. The mech tech leader class bumblebee, i thought was the best way of finishing off the bumblebee wave, and my girlfriend kindly bought the deluxe version so i have enough for the leader class.

So that's my collection and is a farewell to the transformers films, and to a bumblebee that kids will grow up remembering. He's come a long way from being a beetle, and after being known by adults and children alike for 30 years, it's about time he got a kick ass shape....
