Astro Boy toys in Home Bargains.

[Tacgnol]

They're selling the 4" toy range for 99p. Three different kinds of Astro Boy, a Metro City Soldier, a couple of droids that I'm sure could be useful, and the Peacekeeper. IMO it's the only one really gaming-worthy although I'm going to have another look at the little droids tomorrow.

.

Also they have the big Buzzsaw Samurai for £3.99 (I think), it's about 6" tall and looks pretty cool.

The top one would be good for VSF as well

I bought the droid up top.  I hadn't noticed until now but that samurai would make a great Ork construct for 40K.

That robot in the first picture has some nice panel lines and details.  It would probably look pretty good with a new paint job.

[Tacgnol]

Yep, it was a toss-up whether or not to post this in the VSF or the Future Wars section. I'm sure I've seen the McDonald's Astro Boy toys more than a few times on the VSF board.

@Doomsdave- too right, the samurai is dead Orky.

They have a 6'' version of the 1st robot too

I bought one of these at Toy R Us during there after Christmas clearance sales. I plan to use it for some kind of VSF walker. https://www.astro-z.com/qcart/design/user_files/images/2009/October/3/astroboy-b-samurai.jpg

May have to check out the pound shops and Toys R us at the weekend!

I always miss out seeing these deals, my boys head straight to the DS games and Bakugan.  I think I deserve to spend some of my pocket money too!

Picked up the droid pack today, the trashcan droid is a bit useless, maybe scenary? The gun droid is good, needs repainting though.

Well, I just found out where mine is in Coventry, so I might have to pick some up!!!

Typically, our Home Bargains only has some sort of glowing golfball things from the Astro Boy movie. No cool robots at all. 

[rob_the_robgoblin]

I bet that's the same in Cov.

If not, I'll get a surplus for you lot.

My better half has just been in the Bury store and they don't have any.  If Rob or anyone else gets lucky, would they be willing to send me a small Peacekeeper? Obviously I'll pay for it and postage and I'm in the UK.

Yeah of course. One yeah?

We'll see what they have.

One would be great! Cheers Rob.
