Our local Home Bargains has some HotWheels die-cast Batmobiles for £2.99.

Many different versions, seem scaled to fit with the packet as the Tumbler from the Christian Bale movie is quite small, but the Michael Keaton mobile is a good fit for Clix figures.

Just missed out on the classic TV series one...  >:(

Not Poundland but still fairly cheap: 20mm MDF Christmas buildings for £3 each.
Just saw these this morning. Pic as bought with some Chiltern winter Germans for scale.





Also saw some smaller 15mm ones in Hobbycraft for £2 each:

Good find! I would use the plastic domes too for something sci-fi.

I actually succeeded in removing them without damage, so can use them to display some models in my house!

My first thought was growth tanks for some artificially nurtured 28mm life form....

Are they the same 15mm ones I pictured above (in the third pic)? If so they have gone down a quid since last week..

I don't think so, I think they were smaller. I gave the sample I bought to Flatpack.
Expect to see it being blown up by a Russian AFV before too long.

What size are those? Would they be compatible with 28/30 mm, smaller? Bigger?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...
