After my first Star Wars hunt for 3 months I bring you news from (a very wet) Central London. I didn't get to the Forbidden Planet Megastore (raining too hard) I did manage to get to the discount...

Damn!! I knew I should have gone :mad: :mad:

How much of the Expo Centre did it take up?

Checked out the new Forbidden Planet Megastore today in London (the Shaftesbury Avenue one).

Quite a wide range, all the new Saga ships, A-wing, Tie Fighter, Command Gunship, Genosian Fighter,...

I agree with that, the old courriers were pretty useless in my area. It would often take them 5 days to deliver anything, often with notes written all over it: cannot find address etc.

My latest...

£29 does seem a bit steep, its not as if you can't get the original versions is it now.

On a slightly different note has anyone seen or got hold of the Accessory packs (the Endor, Hoth, Death Star...

We are the champions, we are the champions,

And Ruud picked up the Golden Boot, not too bad considering we were written off back in November after that loss to City. Oh the fun of rubbing it in...

Oooooohhhhhhh, hasn't it got interesting today. Arsenal have dropped two points and got a load of players injured. Thats means that United are top by two points and having played the same number of...

Well seeing as I'm not biased;) it will be Southampton and not Arsenal (they're the two that are in the final, with Arsenal knocking out United).

For the League I'm backing United, again not that...

Always glad to see another United fan, there's a couple of us here.

The result on Wednesday was 2-2. United took the lead through a brilliant Van Nistelrooy goal (took and pass and outpaced the...

I thought both the Spacetrooper and the Dark Trooper were rereleased by the Fan Club in the US. Which means the price came down, I saw them for £20 a pop a couple of years back on a dealers stall at...

Mmmmmhhhh a few surprises at the Entertainer at Lakeside.

Not much to report on the figure front, still the same pegwarmers/regulars. However the vehicles a few pleasant surprises. Several...

Its a pretty sad sight at all my local Toys R us' and Entertainers. There doesn't seem to be any new additions since Shaak Ti with the exception of the Entertainer offering the Arena Playset at £60,...

Living on the border between Kent and Sarf London I get the lovely Connex South Eastern providing me with a 'train' service so I know the feeling. Oh hello to you all.

Time Trek is still going:sur:

I haven't been in there for years, I might have to check it out.

I know what you mean.

The last time I went to the Thurrock store, the stock was all shelf warmers and the display looked like a bomb had hit it. It was good for a few weeks fter the film opened...

Part of me suspects that this will turn out to be true, while other parts of me leave it is 'inaccurate'. Considering we've had no news on who the major supplier will be I'm some what secptical. ...

ITV showed quite a long trailer for ESB last night (Sunday), it must have been a good 30secs to a minute long.

I think they must be planning to show the film when the Champions League has a...

I'm definetly sure that ROTJ was shown at Christmas on ITV, because I've still got it recorded off the telly complete with adverts. Not sure about ANH and ESB though, I think they were also shown on...

There's also another collector's store in the annexe bit near the cinema (the bit thats tacked on the side with the walkway over the road), on the waterfront (I can't remember its name), that has an...

R2 Toys are okay, I have had better service. I ordered a TIE Bomber from them and it took over a week to arrive, at least it arrived. So I not giving them top marks at the moment.

There's a main thread called UK - have you found any new waves where people post all their finds. There's a couple of us who are down south. Its best to check out that thread for answers.

Here's the latest from Lakeside for those interested:

TRU: Lots in but mostly pegwarmers, there were a few Yodas, Maces, Anakins Hanger Duel and Palpatines. Surprising number of Clonetroopers and...

Jek you must have read my mind. I was thinking of posting a what happenned to .... thread about you.

I'm still fairly new here bu it has definitely changed a lot recently, plus the UK seems to...

Thanks for that gibbspaulus, maybe I'm getting old and cynical but I tend to doubt firms/people who don't provide lots of details on their website.

I'll give them a ring next week, thanks again.

Has anybody done business with aboveandbeyonddirect.com? Their website doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence, a lack of contact details and payment options (call me wary but packing a cheque...
