I'm fairly sure that's just the start, mate. Cos now I'll need a pilot for it, and something for it to fight, and ground support, and it doesn't look Martian so let's have it on Venus and...

Well, you get the idea.  lol

Hmmm, definitely not a Poundland fan at the moment. I went to another local store today and they had nothing useful either, not even the balloon thingy. They did have about 200 packs of the Halo clicks, but they are too big for my needs.

I was so depressed, I even forgot to call in at Sainsburys for my Dr Who Space Pig  :'(

I did get a very cheap Korn cd that I was after, though  :D

Announcement

The Topps Company announced today that WizKids will immediately cease operations and discontinue its product lines.

Scott Silverstein, CEO of Topps, said “This was an extremely difficult decision. While the company will still actively pursue gaming initiatives, we feel it is necessary to align our efforts more closely with Topps current sports and entertainment offerings which are being developed within our New York office.”

Upon notifying our partners, Topps will immediately pursue strategic alternatives so that viable brands and properties, including HeroClix, can continue without noticeable disruption. To that end, WizKids will continue supporting Buy it By the Brick redemptions for Arkham Asylum, and the December Organized Play events for HeroClix.

Ours has got a stack of civilian Hummers in. Picked one up for the BPRD to ride around in. Might be slightly too big, but Hummers are massive anyway, so I don't know.

I'll put up a pic later if anone wants to see.

Well, I don't have any pound shops near me, so if anybody sees the Alien figures going cheap, I would be delighted to reimburse somebody for a load.
