Person I ordered that for loves it. Only minor complaints are a small filling gap and it's a bit noisy when dispensing. Really quick though, perfectly fills a standard cup.

Mindblowing it ain't, but it cost a pittance relative to scale. I've also got the Panthro.

A screen protector and this for my phone are pure win (I got grey)

I take it LionO is some sort of re-release and not the original 80s toy? Any good? How much and where from please? I may nlt end up buying it but MOTU, TMNT and TCats were the biggest cartoons of my childhood and I longed for the original toys.

If that's your thing check Amazon's secondary sellers there and eBay first (check item location and then check same under seller's name, avoid Asian sellers!). It's more of a statue, little articulation at all, but that's all I wanted. Search it's title in YouTube, guarantee there'll be a review! I only paid £36 from Amazon about a fortnight ago.

There you go, articulation, scale (Carnage is 7 inches tall) and a crap packaging shot.

Perfect. Does the Sword of Omens fit into the claw shield?

No, unfortunately. I was hoping for that too.

If you find you can't quite get the sword in his gripped hand, please be careful with the hilt on it! The best thing to do is use a hairdryer held away a bit from his fingers, then pull them back to place the sword so that they'll naturally shape back into position on cooling.

Anything of note...

His legs are fixed, except for the boots so that he'll balance.
Snarf is a total statue, no articulation.
Figures are hollow but would survive a serious fall as the plastic's light but chunky.
The rest of the team are available bar the kids. There's a Mumm-Ra that I'm considering but Christ knows what he costs...

Any other questions just ask away.

Dunno what the postage'll be, but...

Personally I'd just stick with Lion-o btw. You could spend hundreds trying to track down the rest.

Just looked up Mumm-Ra; that ain't happening!

New purchase at the weekend:

Hoover Freedom Plus FD22RA



It's sh!te - took it back today and ordered a Dyson.

SWMBO wants one of the Dyson ones - (god know why) - let me know how effective it is as I was thinking of getting a "Copy" like that

weirdly, it kind of reminds me of the skutters from Red Dwarf.

The Dyson arrived today - the model is the V6 Flexi - not used it much yet, obviously, but it is much more powerful than the Hoover - and I'm talking about the Dyson's standard power mode (it has a boost option for extra suction, at the expense of running time).

It might sound a little silly, but it performs exactly as well as I had hoped a £200 cordless vac would. It picks up as well as our DC-19 T2, which was £300+ a few years ago.

The sales assistant in Currys said they get a lot of customers who have tried other makes and return them in exchange for a Dyson. This wasn't a sales pitch - I'd already told her I wouldn't be buying from Currys because they don't stock the Flexi model.

Good to know - glad its working well

remember you are now not doing housework - you are now doing "Lifestyle cleaning"

New Battery and toolkit for my Nexus 10

The battery has slowly been losing the amount of charge it can hold (its about 3 yrs old now) but recently it has really dropped off. A have not seen a new tablet I like (I want "vanilla" Android - but the new Pixel C Tablet does not have a GPS chip and as I use it sometimes as a large Sat Nav that scuppers that)

Anyway it will either be the BEST (Nexus with 8hrs + usage again) or the WORST if I cant open the case and replace the battery without buggering it up...update to follow

Good luck sir!
