Isn’t just us finding it hot

… looks like Alana found it too hot as well. She’s fallen over a couple of times now, during the heatwave. Marko seems to not be bothered by it.

Had 3 other figures fall over, probably due to the heat. No fragile ones though, thankfully! Though if Alana’s wings fall out, they’re a massive pain to get to stay in. Thiiisss close to gluing them in. 

Framed Art!

Went to visit a friend who does framing, and had three things framed. 

First was two pics I bought at Swindon Comic Con:

As I was gathering these two up, I remembered I had a mini-”poster” from an Asuka figure I got recently, and took that along too. Here it is on the Wall of Random, that I have in the bedroom:

Connor The Hunter

Went out at lunchtime to look for picture frames… came back with a figure XD. Went down to the other end o’ town, remembered the existence of a gaming & collectables shop… visited, and they just happened to have something I wanted at a reasonable price! And here he is: Connor the Hunter, from Assassin’s Creed III.

Mandarake II

Let’s see how this one goes. Will be in 2 boxes, hoping they distribute the stuff as I ask, and kinda lamenting that I didn’t add the first Spawn figure into my first order… I forgot :(. Then again, it probably would have caused the same box nightmare issues >

This should be my lot for awhile… hoping this stuff arrives before I go away. Should do, but there’s a chance it won’t :S. Gogo postal system!

Well, I won it

Slightly more than I was intending to bid. Now to see what condition it is when it arrives… Thus far nothing I’ve had from the Urban Mines has been too bad (only one figure with breakage, that I glued back together)

Now to await the payment request, and I’ve got some other stuff in my cart to juggle. Let’s see how many parcels I’ll decide for it to be. Might end up with one large one and get customs’d or break it down into smaller ones and hope for the best. 

Mandarake Order 12/06/17

image

Bunch of Urban Mine, and one store item, because I could shove it in. 

Urban mine stuff is an Evangelion figure, something random I’ll post more about when I get it, and Mr Assemble. I have one Assemble Borg figure already, and hope to mix n’ match parts.

Will be another order in a couple of days, due to having one more Urban Mine item I’m bidding on. Items were gonna be in 2 boxes anyway, and with the deadline being 5 days for Urban Mine items now, one of the items needed paying for before the deadline. 

New lighting – study

I’ve had some IKEA strip lights for… some time, but didn’t really want them put up, as they’re too shiny to have them visible. After a wander around the internet, I found some LED lighting casing for a price I wanted to pay. Only issue was having to pick it up before work :P.
