If folk don't already know, "The Works" down here in the South-West UK is flogging lots of cheap Batman vs. Escapees from the above institution sets. As is Poundstretcher

Whilst the forum was down, I picked up a load of DC Heroclix origins boosters from my local poundstetcher for 99p each, plus an Anti-Monitor for £2.99.

Alas, Canterbury has no poundshops, although our Works does have Mutations & Monsters boosters in... (here's to hoping I can pull a zombie Spider-man...)

The Works in lovely Rochdale, Lancashire has the Arkham sets as well, and In Store (Poundstretcher) has Batman boosters, Fantastic Four starter sets and the Ant-Monitor.

Well lets just say that Barnstaple's The Works DID have a load of Arkham, Avengers and Monsters & Mutations sets.... up until about 12:20 this afternoon!

;)

(Loads of those starwars Pocketmodel TCG stuff there too, have a real soft spot for them but resisted, have enough little Ties and Xwings to keep me happy, (and bombers, interceptors, A wings, V wings, B wings, Y Wings, star destroyers, shuttles...... ).

Bought another Asylum pack today, make me feel better as my better half was going back up north after a week  :( (that's my excuse for another impulse purchase). Got a feeling there's going to be alot of swapsies in the bazaar soon. My future mother-in-law has picked up another 4 Batman clix sets form poundstretchers for me as well.  :)

After my fit of impulse buying of the marvel booster sets, I'm taking those ones back to exchange for the remaining AA boosters as it's been a long time since I've been interested in Marvel over DC just glazed over when I saw them there!

I was never a big Marvel fan either, and Batman was always my favourite. I'm hoping to collect all 30 figures in the Batman Heroclix range, I love the fact that they've done different versions of Batman, although I wish that they'd also released a Tim Burton Batman and Christian Bale Batman. The AA boxes have had some gems as well. Yesterday I got the Ventriloquist and in another pack I got Solomon Grundy.

yeah fav minis I've got so far:

Captain Gordon
Riddler
Ventriloquist
Two-face
Batman of the future

Wasnt keen on soloman grundy, bit of a massive elvis looking sculpt! ;)

Resisted the temptation on the other Arkhams and got a refund instead! :) I had a 'little' peak in the arkham's I took back too, shame, didn't know you were after the whole set as I had quite a few differents ones...oh well. Got any doubles yet?

So far out of the AA sets I've got doubles of Man-Bat Assassin, Circe, Firefly and Kid Devil. Not sure about Batman Heroclix sets until I'm next home. What AA doubles have you got? Like I say I'm specifically looking for Batman-related heroes and villains.
