New Thundercats! Pumyra finally arrived, not sure when the others will turn up but it’s just nice to have a new figure. I wasn’t sure whether to collect the ‘new’ Cats but am happy I did so. Lynx-O then also turned up (and Monkian).
Thinking about the possibility of collecting some MISB Transformers got me thinking about MOSC Marvel figures. I’ve bought a carded Deadpool which made me think maybe I need another Deadpool and so obviously, I need him in his boxers. Obviously.
I built the new(ish) Lego AT-AT, I like the fact that the cockpit looks a bit insect like as well as being a bit more furnished inside - it has chairs.
Also put together a couple more Spider-Men for the collection:
Selects Cyclonus came in, he’s much closer to what I wanted though maybe I don’t need to gun metal to be quite so dark. Definitely prefer it to the lilac colour though.
Legends Quake/Maria Hill came in. Great value for money since it’s two characters that I want toys of but won’t be on display permanently.
I'm watching the new Obi-Wan series and it got me thinking. I’ve always ignored the continuity of the 2008 The Clone Wars series in favour of the 2003 series (yes, that one!). But with Ahsoka turning up in the various Disney+ series this is more of a struggle. I’ve now also watched the Solo film, so I’ve really had to readjust my thinking. All the films are canon as is the 2003 series (for me). So that means Darth Maul must have been around for the Clone Wars and therefore the new Black series figure is fair game! I’ll wait and see whether Ahsoka needs to be slotted in as well. I’ve also preordered Aayla Secura (which I would have done anyway).
I got the new Lego Iron Man armoury and although going in I knew what to expect, I'm still disappointed. There's absolutely no reason for it to be the Mark III rather than the Mark IV. I could suggest that a Black Widow would be better than another Pepper Potts, and a Iron Legion suit would make more sense than another Mark 85, but it's an Iron Man 2 set, the Mark VI would make more sense than the Mark III (even the Mark II would make more sense). It feels like a very cynical set to make money. If I'd have got the Mark IV and maybe another Iron Legion suit I would have spent a lot but at least been happy. As it stands I got the Mark I War Machine at least as well as the Mark 25.
It’s going to be an exciting Summer for Lego, an AT-TE is rumoured, as are a new Sanctum Santorum and maybe an Avengers Tower. The first two of those I’m totally down for, the last one looks like it could be crazy expensive.
