Couple of G1 Transformers. Dunno their names yet .

A rock cake, fucking lush .

A couple of games, single player for when I am solo...

I need to research that burgundy jet that looks like a Harrier as well as that rock cake. First time seeing that jet. I think I had the A-10 Powerglide that may have also had that heat reaction faction symbol sticker.

EDIT: Couldn't find the red Harrier, but apparently there's multiple Transformers Harriers. This site seems to be good for identifying based on color.

I opened my first Gundam Universe, saw it came with "U" crotch snap on piece for use with Bandai Action Base flight stands, but the Action Base I opened didn't have tall enough stick pieces. I might try to buy some 3mm aluminum rods and somehow stick that into some 7mm cylinder piece to stick into the Action Base hole. I earlier tried to buy some Lego Technic pieces to try to get to work with the Action Base, but might need to file down some small ridges then figure out some adapter for cross axle to 3mm peg.

EDIT: Apparently the Action Base seems to have multiple 3mm holes, so I just need to buy some 3mm aluminum rods. If it works, everyone's gonna be flying.

Also, there is such thing as ML disco Dazzler, which I think was in a BAF wave before I started buying ML, so maybe around Warlock wave. I prefer the Silvestri Dazzler drawn by Jim Lee in the trading cards, but the ML of that has a fugly face/head sculpt.

Snap , the original silver costume especially. I have the X men Marvel Legends one on retro card but I wish there was a disco one ....


And my apologies, I know I often mention comics in here but there's such a cross over between the genres I feel it's okay...

Tried for Micronauts toys but nothing available anywhere. Probably for the best , that's not a rabbit hole I really should enter ....

Have you seen the recent Super7 ReAction+ o-ring Micronauts figures? The latest reveals were two diff colored Time Travelers. So far none released that I remember from Marvel Comics X-Men vs Micronauts limited series. Also, I heard from a GI Joe podcast there was a modern Micronauts cartoon where they produced a season but never aired it and it's now on youtube in good quality. I watched Episode 1 only.

The Dazzler pop is mine , the Welsh duck/dragon is a silly thing for my daughter and the Paddington is for my wife.

Were you one of the people queing to get into Forbidden Planet around 10.30am this morning, when my bus came by? If so, what was the reason for the queing? I was on my way to work (by this morning, I mean Friday).

I hadn't seen these , I looked at the earlier ones that were the robots reduced in size but rejected them as they were the wrong size.

I have no idea what this is. It's one of those things I looked at and went..." I'm having that ..."

It's a duo-con I think with the two things together, the jet sits on the tank and they both transform to make the two bits of one robot .

Right , I've gone on about Cardiff enough and bored you . I have to revisit it in a few weeks to collect the comics I couldn't get today .... bloody knee .

I now have to list all the comics I picked up on my travels...

I've been in Toy Hunt Hibernation since Oct - both in person and online.... But yesterday my buddy and my cousin joined me for a LONG day in Milwaukee hitting up a Comic Con, 2 toy stores, a comic book shop, a sports collectable shop and some delicious BBQ for lunch.

Here's some vids others did of 3 of the places:







This was my favorite find:

Rock & Wrestling Puzzle Hulk Hogan, Rowdy Piper & the Iron Sheik
