JollyBob - look away now.... seriously....

right, Poundland Cambridge has complete, undamaged sets of the Hellboy/BPRD horrorclix for a pound... you get HB, HB jr, Abe, Liz, Johann, Roger and Daimo... they are on the whole, very decent sculpts and should survive a repaint... not bad seeing as Forbidden Planet has been trying to sell a damaged one for full price for months...

You learn something new everyday.

Thanks for the heads up. I am sure JB will thank you in his own special way.

no he won't because he won't have read any further....

JollyBob · « **Reply #5 on:** November 13, 2008, 11:03:16 AM »

Oh yes he did...

Ah well. That would have saved me a bit of bother and the end of a thumb a couple of months ago.

Be quicker next time, Giraffe, or it's back to Africa for you!

Shame we don't have those shops over here. Would be worth getting a second set for another Hellbaby.

Press ctrl and use the scroll ball on your mouse if you have one to make the text bigger!

And oh dear, but yeah, I have heard they are alright sculpts.

Thanks Mr Giraffe

Off to the Nottingham Poundland I go!

I popped in again last night and noticed that one of them has an armless Roger for some reason, box looks undamaged, but Roger is def lacking an arm... so might be worth giving the contents a once over....

Well, for a Pound.... you could probably sell the duplicates and cover all your expenses

... or should that be "Poundland Badness"? Just got back from the one in Dudley and they didn't have any

They did have that twin-balloon airship thingy from "The Golden Compass" and though it's quite nice I couldn't see myself ever using it. They also had boxes of 4 Halo heroclix type figures, which sadly looked to be about 40mm rather than 28mm, so I passed on them too

Never mind, I did get a cheap sack of potatoes, the latest "Classic Rock magazine and a hot sausage roll, so it ended quite well.

I'm off to Sainsbury's tomorrow to buy some more cheap Dr Who minis - including a Space Pig

Man, everybody else's Poundlands are full of great stuff.

Ours is just crammed to the gills with dobbers buying multipacks of weird eastern european branded crisps for 5p a throw and frightening-looking (possibly unregulated) cleaning products.

Bloody southerners get all the good stuff.
