Bought a She-Hulk minifig for the hair so I could make a Gamora figure. I can’t find the actual Gamora minifig I already had so she’s got a little smirk for the time being. Lego Guardians are looking good though. It’s been a good year for Lego, got the Guardians, half the X-Men, a Batwing, a Hulkbuster, oh and Avengers Tower!!!
Legends has been good this year as well, got better versions of Hawkeye, Ant-Man and Tony Stark. My Avengers are all looking good now. I also played a little catch-up with Spider-Man and X-Men villains, plus quite a few extra Iron Man armours (of course), and Spider-Men. I’ve also got them nicely organised in new boxes now.
Transformers wise I’ve completed the Insecticons (again) and got a few more Dinobots (just need Swoop!). Pretty restrained spending though. Really feels like my collecting is slowing down.
I had a good couple of months doing 3.75” customs, nice little trip down memory lane going through my collection. It’s in a good place now so overall my collection is pretty complete and well organised. Also quite a few bits to sell now. As well as customising, I’ve started using a light box for my photos which I’ve really enjoyed using, it helps me appreciate the figures I buy more.
I’m going to finish off the year with my 50 most wanted Transformers (Generations), I could have listed 100 odd really but needed to trim it down a bit. Mostly G1 obviously, but this would finish off all the really important teams/groups. I could probably list a few more if needed. Over half of these could happily be repaints/remolds.

I’m looking forward to the ‘s’s next year, Swoop, Steeljaw, Sureshot, Silverbolt, Sandstorm and Snarf. So plans for next year, stick with the course - probably less Transformers, Lego and Marvel again. Deszaras and Giant Man should come in. Hopefully finish Thundercats (just Snarf to go). Hopefully another big Lego set (X-Mansion), but probably not too many large purchases. Happy Christmas!
