Palps’ Place

Palps has opened a bar! Inspired by HISHE I finally opened this set, really quite cool. I wonder who will pop in……



Built the Spider-Man/Doctor Strange Lego set. Bit of a strange one (no pun intended), as to where it fits, is it the Sanctum or a place for Peter and his mates to hang out? It actually fits in quite well with the previous Sanctum set.



I put in a massive order with Reprolabels, I actually really enjoyed stickering them up. It’s good to spend a bit of quality time with my toys. I really like the livery for the racing cars and extra details for the emergency vehicles. It’s another reason why I won’t be replacing these figures.







I’ve had my ‘84 and ‘85 toys on display for a little while now, but they’ve been joined by the Movie Autobots and the cartoon Maximals. I’ve limited it to the WFC figures for the time being but I’ll see how I feel.


I got the Sonic Lego, a bit of a repetitive build with the single studs but it looks incredible, this is what I wanted from the Nintendo sets. Bring on a Sonic 2 (and 3) set!



So speaking of Lego I came across some absolutely incredibly exciting rumours. There should be another Iron Man armoury set with War Machine mark I and Iron Man mark IV. Next, there should be a new Sanctum Santorum set, and possibly something else large and Marvel (Avengers Tower?). To round things out, there should be a new AT-TE. This got me thinking and well…… I’ve bought the updated AT-AT set. Doh. But fantastic if these are true.


Another load of Transformers reveals so all round an expensive few days. I’m sold on Menasor now, so combined with Blitzwing and Tarantulas, and Diaclone Magnus it’s all good. I’m not quite sure how Menasor is going to fit into my collection, perhaps I’ll keep the Combiner Wars figures in robot mode and Legacy in combined mode.


To finish up the Sonic theme, Happy Easter!
