H is for How They Come In
Funny little bunch this week, I'm guessing rocket
is Carlton, possibly a 'companion'
with a larger action-figure? A Character Options
sailor, an unknown cartoony F1 driver, another 'unknown' (blind bag?), called 'Maniac' and a Giochi Preziosi 'Gormiti'
to add to their tub! I also picked up another board game today (Thurs.), but
given other things it can wait.

Skeletal Chinasaurs
These have been building-up in the WTF
zone, a couple from Charity Shop lots, the rest from Jim and/or Chris and/or
Peter Evans (thanks' chaps). Really only useful if 1) you collect unrealistic
dinosaur skeletons (guilty as charged M'lud!), or 2) need a natural history museum
ruin in your diorama (you never know - spares box!), or 3) are building a
killer skeleton/undead army (oh yes!) . . . so actually, pretty useful really!
Three glow in the dark, two weathered wash
and probably four sources? We may have seen one here in a Poundland purchase about nine-years ago?

News Bites
Legoland - That new Lego amusement-park
ride announced (here) a couple of weeks ago failed on its opening day and had
to be closed 'due to technical issues'!
Brwreakshit - Which; the UK consumer
affairs organisation warned that dangerous toys 'could flood into the UK' after Brexit, one hopes that it's over
emphasising the risk, but it was one of the risks mooted three-years ago, the announcement
was part of a urging of the Government to keep open the European 'safety gate'.
Murder - speaking of Brwreakshit and the steady rise in violent and hate
crime over the last three years - Danny Bostock (33) has been jailed for life,
after killing a fellow coin-collector for a Peter
Rabbit 50p. Having stabbed the owner - Gordon McGhee -14 times he tried to
destroy the crime scene with a gas explosion, risking the lives of neighbours;
he won't be from the 'hard left' Mr. O'Connell?
Tom
Karen - Czechoslovakian-born designer of the Raleigh 'Chopper' and Luke Skywalker's
Landspeeder as head of the Ogle
design studio, recently collected an OBE and said he was saddened by the modern
toy industry.
Nintendo - Have announced two new gaming consoles - that'll mean more toys!
The new models are budget and enhanced versions of their existing Switch console.

Spare a thought for an old soldier
(Military Cross, bar and cluster - not many of them around), he's currently
fighting his last battle and it doesn't seem to be going terribly well, but
knowing him as I do, I suspect it might all be part of his cunning plan to
cheat The Ferryman out of a fare; it won't work, of course, but it's a good last
wheeze and won't cost him an extra minute in either realm...
