The wider ship in the upper pic is the one in the game. I plan to convert it into a treasure galleon. I think it retails for about $10.

Having just become a grand dad for the first time I now have an excuse to plunder toy shops for all this good stuff. Lego here I come! And Nerf and Scalextric and Action Man and.....that crackling sound in the background is my credit card melting?... ;)

Nokia Lumia 820 Windows phone. While this might not be considered a toy, I'm sure as hell toying around with it  :D

Wasn't sure what category to put this into on the forum but I figure this is pretty safe.  Came across a bin full of "finger tentacles" at my local Diddam's Party Supply store.  It's approximately 14cm tall.



Given the variety of gaming interests on LAF I figured someone will find some use for them in a game or two.

The lord alone knows what I will do with it  :o but I could not leave it unbought.


I have some vague ideas where it is the centre of a game...but ideas from LAF friends welcome.



I started to make mine into a Ork landship, but since my move from 40k a few years ago its been sitting. I'm thinking of using whats done to make a sci-fi-ish ship for futuristic/PA type pirate games.

so, I just bought a Land Rover defender die cast from Aldi Süd Germany for 2,60 €
rather on the largish side, so unsuitable for historical 28mm, more for the 40K and similar fraction

but a real bargain, screwed and rubber tyres, opening doors

Well, I wasn't going to do anything this year except consolidate what I had.....  8)

So, just got a load of Dux Brit figures off Dewbakuk and bought loads of WWI Turks off Gripping Beast.

That good intention that didn't last long....  :'(

Now I HAVE to buy GB's British.  Only four new armies this year, and its only February.
