    I don't buy a lot of plamo anymore but saw this kit and i HAD to grab it, it's weird and so fun. Tried grabbing it over here and hell no, the price is insane amazon uk sellers are wanting £99 for it when amazon japan has it for like 7000 yen so i grabbed it there, as plamo go this ones pretty sophistcated as it has light modules and magnets that you use in the sponge that sticks to the ducks head and that sponge can be used to turn all the lights on & off it's a system that's used in the more higher grade gunpla kits.


    Used the weak yen to grab a new pair of nippers & sanding sponges while i was at it as my old nippers are wrecked from using them for electronics.

      Thanks to our very own 2005 Boards member eltonlin98 we have new images of the recently revealed Hot Wheels Track Fleet Ultra Magnus. We have new images from several angles of this new non-transformable die-cast Ultra Magnus truck. To top it all, we have our first look at the official package art render by artist...

      I expect it to be as unnecessarily supply limited as Optimus has turned out to be

            Very nice! And a sensible choice for a, Transformer.

              Mine arrived at the weekend too.
              I need to clear a bit of space on the shelves.
              I've gone disc-crazy and they're two deep.
              I need to put away discs I don't regularly watch so I can put some bots up.

              I've now got the Knight Rider, Ghostbusters, Top Gun and BttF crossovers.

              Not sold on the Turtles one and the JP one is okaaaay, but the robo dino isn't very good, IMHO.
              Don't want to collect the set "just because".

              I really need to open Agent Knight as the kid version of me would lose his mind at a Transforming KITT!

                So carrying on a theme of getting figures from classic shows of the 80's (well technically this came from a late 70's show but I didn't know about it until the 80's so I think it counts) yesterday's new arrival was the Storm Collectibles Ken the Eagle from Gatchaman (or Battle of the Planets depending on your name preference) & a figure I had been after for some time
                Got it for a good price from an Ebay seller & I'm super pleased with it

                  That's amazing!

                  I used to love BotP without realising all the bits about 7-Zark-7 being added for US audiences and the whole revelation about Zoltar in Gatchaman being left out.

                  I think for a lot of people, Battle of the Planets was our first exposure to anime, without realising it and the long-lasting impact it would have.

                  That's a great figure. I'd like a Phoenix, but I can't believe the prices on these things.

                    Thanks buddy
                    Yeah I'm the same as you & absolutely adored BotP as a kid & like you only discovered the differences a few years back

                    Totally the same with it being my first experience of Anime but obviously not realising it at the time

                    I'd love a Phoenix too but like you just so god damn expensive

                    I will be picking up the rest of the team when they are released, next one up is Jun & have her on Pre-order

                      Spamming the thread this week & another new arrival

                      So a bit of background first on this one...Katie works for an NHS trust & they share their offices with Playmobil UK & they have a fairly good relationship with them so once a month the Playmobil team pop round an email with offers for old stock / damages etc. & Katie got the list which just so happened to feature a couple of bits that had been on my wish list for a LONG time & she picked them up yesterday
                      So I shall present to you...Scooby Doo Mystery Machine & Scooby/Shaggy 2 pack (as they don't come with the Van for some reason)

                      Absolute bargains at £25 for the mystery machine & £6 for the Scooby/Shaggy twin pack


                      ​​​​​​



                      Looking forward to opening them & building the sets

                        That’s lovely.

                        After a mixup with my order (my mistake), I finally got the Agent Knight Transformer and, even with the slightly dodgy soundalike, it’s the best thing ever made. By far. Literally the best thing. People are going to have to stop saying “best thing since sliced bread” and refer to this instead.

                          Ha, we have that Playmobil Mystery Machine! The bits are everywhere.

                          The wheels look particularly mint.

                          Might get some LR44 batteries and get KITT out the box this weekend.
                          Hoping my wife doesn't walk in to find me going "SHWOOSHWOO! TURBO BOOST, MICHAEL!"
