Had to do a little grocery shopping yesterday, so I popped into another location of Dollarama to pick up a few things, and found a few more of the toys.

Fabrikation Star Wars Wicket Warrick 'soft sculpture' (Funko, 2014)

So, it's been a few months since I ordered any gaming stuff (almost 7, in fact - just after Christmas...) and Games Workshop has released new teams/players (Dwarfs, Goblins, Trolls and Ogres), pitches, dice, cards and rules sets for Blood Bowl in the meantime...

picked up:

Skaven/Dwarf 2-sided pitch
Dwarf Giants team (12 dwarf players)
Dwarf Giants block dice set


also a bit behind on X-wing ships, Imperial Assault figures and there's an Expansion for Rebellion coming out soon, as well. (not to mention Goblins, Trolls and Ogres for BB)

Hey guys hows it all hanging !!

just want to show a picture of a parcel I was sent to help out a fellow amigan who lives in Europe and the seller would only post to the UK

He sent these atari`s in a box with next to no packing and the two Atari`s must have been doing the fandango in the box on their way to me and obviously they are both damaged.
Also I have never seen so much crap on retro items eeewwwww
So how not to send a package :

Back home from a usually rubbish day at work to find this clogging the hall:

Did I Order A Wardrobe?


Surely Not A Bed?

Acorn's line of 8 bit computers are in my opinion wonderful machines and got better with every model... a shame they were always stuck with a maximum of 8 colours per screen. 16 colour modes were just 8 colours plus 8 flashing combinations...

Well the awesome RobC over on the *. forums has come up with a replacement ULA that does rather better, how about a fully programmable pallet of 4096 colours plus some very nice new modes with total compatibility and the ability to recolour existing games / software?

I got my latest rectangle of awesome through the post today and here it is in my Model B:

VideoNuLA Top Centre
*DO NOT PUT IT HERE*
VideoULA socket NOT SerialULA socket
(FDD Upgrade Midddle Left)


IntegraB Kindly Repaired By Bas
(Along With CF HDD and MMC, 64k ROM Mod, 'n stuff)


10quid CoPro, by Hoglet & Co
(*. forum again)

I just wanted to express my public thanks to all the above, and more, who continue to add so much win to these machines.

I have gotten a few duplicate CDs in the last little while, as it's begun to get difficult to remember what I have, but it kind of forced me to finally input the bulk of my collection to Discogs (and put the app on my phone)
it is here, if anyone would like to take a peek:

Maybe people could start scoring my scores, like a couple months ago, all that 80s RPG stuff might be 10/10, and the one from a few days ago, although fairly cool with a couple good games, the Ghostbusters figs and the Star Wars vehicle book, would maybe only be 7/10 at best....

Some nice acquisitions there!

I've tried on multiple occasions to get into the LEGO video games but I just can't. The animations and cut scenes are amazing but the gameplay is just about solving simple puzzles and collecting bricks, which is a bit boring to me. Maybe they get more difficult and exciting farther into the games but I never got far enough into them to find out.
