Found in the local BigMat store for 98 eurocents - a place mat - but the material looks perfect for fencing! Here seen with a not very well-painted Delaque for scale.

Time to give this thread its annual halloween kick  :D

I picked up some 7" (18cm) plastic skeletons in Poundland yesterday. They're not articulated, but probably could be. My plan is to dismember them for a giant's graveyard thing. The name on them is "Creepy Town" Skeletons 4 pack.

They had some 12" (30cm) skeletons as well, which were articulated.

Poundland now has a lot of stuff that costs more than a £1, including these, which came in at £1.50. They had some lino type tiles with a hexagon pattern on them that I nearly bought, until I found out they were £6 :(

Whilst not Poundland, or even a £, it is about bargains.
Went into 'The Entertainer, The ToyShop.com'
BIG reductions on Buzz Lightyear stock.
I couldn't resist:-
Zyclops Pods,
XL-15 (Fighter) &
XL-01 (Fighter)
All at £4.33 each.
They will fit in very well with my 28mm Sci-Fi.

Many other (bigger) items that I only just resisted. :'(

Is that just an online shop or do they have bricks & mortar stores too?

Poundland have been selling resin Christmas bits for 2 for a £1, I got some elf houses, a sleigh, benches, a Christmas tree & a Santa chair, (they were originally £1 each which I thought was ok when I bought some bits) to ply a Christmas Pulp Alley game
