  • LEGO retiring the NASA Apollo Saturn V set

    If like me you’ve been after this set for a while you might want to jump on it.

    I’ve had it in my Amazon wish list for a while but when I checked Lego I saw it’s being retired so if you want one (Lego is currently £70 cheaper than Amazon) then here’s the link I used.

    Free postage in the UK and at the moment a free drag racer set worth £50.

  • Hasbro Legends Iron Man Helmet review

    If you’ve followed me long enough you’ll know I’m partial to the Hasbro legends series of props. I’ve got the Captain America shield and Infinity Gauntlet but wanted to complete my MCU phase 3 collection with one I’ve been after for a while.

    It’s been out since 2016 but was stopped production for a while. Well this year it came back and I managed to score one using Forbidden Planet.

    It’s wearable and is made up of a couple of parts. The main helmet and removable faceplate.

    The faceplate is attached with magnets and you makes some noise once attached. This’ll need three AAA batteries if you want the ability to do the electronic stuff.

    Once attached the eyes glow, you can adjust the brightness of this if you are wearing it for cosplay. There’s a button inside the helmet to adjust this.

    It’s made up of hard plastic and sports a really nice (but fragile) paint job. It’ll easily scratch so be careful if you want to keep it in pristine condition.

    For me getting a prop you can display for under £100 is a steal and I’m constantly impressed with how good the Hasbro Legends series is for the money.

    Next up, Ant-Man.

  • Buying back my childhood (with vintage Star Wars toys)

    If you follow me on Twitter then you’ll know I love Star Wars and growing up in the 80’s I had my fair share of Kenner figures and vehicles.

    I recently found a load of my old stuff but I lost quite a few figures and also some I never had bought for me. Thanks to eBay and local antique shops I’ve started to pick up some vintage figures.

    Now I’m a lot older and have an income I can get the ones I missed as a kid. I’ve got a wish list but am very aware of a lack of storage space.

    Are you picking up old toys you missed as a kid?
