Speaking of cynical misery - isn't the
Brwreakshit 'thing' going swimmingly! Add the Grayling thing, the Irish thing,
the Anti-Semitism and Anti-Muslimism things, The knife thing, the police thing
and the fact that the other 27 keep telling us there's no movement on the
backstop while our lot keep telling the media they are sure of movement any
minute 'thing' and I recon we're heading for the Klüsterfik of all Clusterfucks, and
with literally no-one useful to vote for when it all collapses - sometime in
the next three weeks!
But you get what you vote for and 52% voted
for this, despite being told endlessly by lots of sensible, intelligent,
articulate, non-political people, that this is what would happen!
Buy toys . . . cheers you up! Or drowns
your sorrows

H is for How They Come In!
Good haul week this week; Apart from the
Sandown Park show stuff which will get a separate post Monday brought a couple
of bags of novelties, insects and collectable blind-bag, kid's TV stuff . . .
. . . which as a sample weren't a whole
hill o' beans, but will sort into a growing pile of such stuff, which I'm
learning about 'on the hoof' as it were (three Crazy Bone knock-offs from two brands?), and they will make useful
posts in the future as the sets or sample sizes grow. The best bit was four
different crocodile/alligator erasers, all with the same mark, for kids who
don't want dinosaur or cacti erasers!
Tuesday it was a bag of AFV's (a large
incomplete Jeep with a GI Joe sticker
has already gone to recycling!) and a bag of mixed dinosaurs, snakes, lizards
and a fish!
Can I help sort the sorting?
Wednesday brought a huge parcel from Peter
Evans which had some very interesting stuff (a bendy-toy Vicky the Viking!); I will do a HTCI post on it, and a
few posts on individual pieces, while some of it will be held 'till September!
Well, maybe I'll just nest on the bags!
Two things I will definitely follow-up on
are the Irwin (it's actually Irwin RX which will help separate it
from the vintage Irwin in the tag
list!)* 3D Maker I shelfied at
Christmas in TKMaxx, which it turns
out has no maker in the box!
* At time of posting - Tag list says I said that last time!
There is a bit of small-print to that
effect, but the moulds (or the mould for the figures) will be of interest - and
they look better than the box-art! Also the food-picks we looked at a while
ago, seem to be here, on the runner, with another branding, so that'll be two F is
for Follow-up's!
Finally; today, a quick purchase in a
little pound-shop which opened recently in Fleet, they don't have much of use
to toy collectors, but this Red Deer
dino' set was worth a punt, and turned out to be two-part polystyrene models
with a prehistoric marrajahwhanna tree! I took a couple of further shelfies (farm
and paper-planes) while I was there!
Funnily enough one of the dino's in
Tuesday's bag was also a hollow 'styrene model, as were two others I picked-up
last weekend which I haven't shot yet. Coincidentally; the first mention of Red
Deer here at Small Scale World was courtesy of Peter and there's more in the
queue somewhere.

Seen-But-Not-Bought
The
Works had a set of four resin fairies around 54mm
and a set of four similar animals paired as two panda-bear sculpts and two
sloth sculpts, I nearly grabbed them but thought they could wait 'till next
week, I also forgot to shelfie them!

Hm- I don't know what dinosaurs smoked, but those tree leaves look pretty suspect...
Heehee - It explains the extinction once and for all; they just collectively sat under a tree and ceased to be arsed!
