Don't be giving me ideas .

I had a tooth removed yesterday and they fucked up and couldn't get the roots out so I'm sat going through various websites on the pretext I'm not feeling great.... retail therapy so don't tempt me!

I already bought 30 copies of old 2000ad , a plush Judge Death , a ten inch Betty Boop and lottery tickets yesterday.....

Tried searching "rom" in Marvel Unlimited while not subscribed and didn't find any. Even if not subscribed, I think search works.

Feels like I haven't gotten excited to order anything in ages. Feels like I haven't bought any figures in store in ages even though I bought Super Powers Blue Beetle.

ROM is now available to buy as a hardback collection I think , along with Micronauts . There's been issue with the ownership etc over the years that's stopped reprints however I think?


EDIT -


"In May 2023, Marvel reacquired the rights to begin publishing omnibus editions collecting the Rom material they had previously published in the 70s and 80s. "


So , I figured you can buy them as collections but not read them on Marvel Unlimited etc.

And I went to get a gas bottle today and there's a big chain store nearby so I thought I'd have a look.

Several childish (!) Marvel sets with the Wolverine standing figure along with Captain America 76258 . I'm not a huge fan of the facial expression on Cap but the price was so low I bit the bullet anyway ( which was painful with a missing tooth ). I figure that I'll just have him stood relaxed rather than in an action pose where the face wouldn't really work....

Marvel Unlimited is adding new titles all the time. We add the newer titles 3 months after the physical release and then add in the older stuff as soon as they can.

You can request titles to be added. Doesn't mean that it'll be added sooner, but it lets Marvel know what the people are asking for.

Not a huge fan of those either. The heads/faces are wrong. If I was going to get a smaller/cheaper set I would go with the various mechs they have out. Still need to pull the trigger on War Machine.

Yea, I get that , I'm not too impressed with the heads on a couple of the figures or the body shape looks a bit 'off'.

There's a few characters I wouldn't have paid full price for but got given as presents or ( like Captain and Wolvie ) got on a sufficient discount that I can overlook that flaw(s).

. I think it's a lot easier on characters like Spidey or Venom. The Wolverine set is ok but you kind of expect him to be snarling or angry so that's easy enough.

And of course , a nice large box turned up today with my Ghost rider in it ... whilst I was out and my wife took it in... thankfully I was out shopping for her (her health isn't great) plus shopping should be a male job anyway, it's a hunter kind of thing !!

Luckily I walked back in with duck eggs, meatballs, two different types of sweets/ candies she wanted along with getting her coffee this morning so she didn't complain too much.

In other news, I've kind of moved into my son's room as he is at University and it's easier with my shifts to sleep in there . Anyway, as you can guess it's becoming nerdified with Marvel Legends dotted around, 2000AD bits and pieces and D and D retro stuff . Anyway, my 20 year old turned to me tonight and said " Yea, my old bedroom is actually the best room in the house now I reckon...'

I'll take that as a win.

Saw a post saying McF Darkseid pre-order is up again(?) for $39.99 and looks like he's wearing Goblin Queen style thigh high boots. I don't remember that from X-Men vs. Teen Titans.
