Looks much better than the photo, but the mask can't be fitted to the figure and Arnie's crunch abs there... remember that story about Prince's missing ribs? :lol:

Bought another one of these

Bloody handy in humid-ass Belfast, especially today.

A two year old MBP from CEX. Cost me around £800, and it seems pretty robust and runs all the software I need. Replaces a much older model which really isn’t capable of keeping up, being stuck on 10.7.5.

Also, the new one runs Elite Dangerous. :-)

A new toaster for the office that seems OK for our purposes (it's certainly a waste of time putting it on settings 1-3 :roll: ), needs a bit more experimentation so that nobody sets off the smoke alarm...

As mentioned in another thread, yet another t-shirt that shouldn't have left the factory.

As a throwaway gesture, I ordered what I thought would be a nice gift for a girl in work to give to her girlfriend (pop art Wonder Woman figure since she's a fan, natch) and told her about it. Not so much as a fake thank you. Or anything. I'm glad it wasn't that expensive, and it'll be the last fcuking anything she gets from me. Now, in case you're thinking I was a bit too brazen about the whole lesbian thing, there isn't a day where that doesn't come up, and she's got a rainbow flag on her desk ;)

I'm awaiting another Predator figure and a Lego version of Iron Man Hulkbuster :D

And said Predator figure is broken. You know, to go with all the other broken stuff recently. I'm starting to think the entire internet is selling C-grade goods :x

Guess I'll add my Ricoh Theta to this, though I've not had much time to play with it. You'll find it in my kooky camera box alongside the 3D ones.

Awesome, though there's some nonsense about being able to flick the figures from a provided stand, and the missiles on the Hulkbuster actually fire... not a good thing in my office.

ION, Milky Way Stars hot chocolate isn't bad once you ignore the instructions.

A ticket to MI:4 worked out quite well, as did a trip to Forbidden Planet. Got two of these for a tenner total (for selling later)

Image

And this, which I don't know whether to keep or sell. I'm edging towards keeping...

Image

Also recently acquired two of this...

Image

Looks much better IRL. Thing is, one of them has a larger dome than the other, so I'm gonna investigate that and see if that's useful if selling.

A couple of these (Nightstorm Predator) for selling down the line as it's getting to be quite a rare figure these days...

Image

Also got some more figure stands to go with my growing collection of such figures.

Is that a Stargate behind the Predator figure?

Certainly looks similar, it's not my photo.

I'm absolutely dying to do my own photos with some of the Aliens and Predators I've got :oops: , I just need to find some of the right materials to make a backdrop :ugeek: :lol:

I needed a new lens to replace a broken one. It's a Pentax 16-85. I also accidentally bought the K3II body the lens is attached to!

Like this....
