Toy Plans?

What's coming up on your toy and sci fi calender readers?

 A convention? A toy fair? a special purchase? a film?

 I plan to do some repairs on some of my toy boxes this Easter when I get some time off. Looking forward to it.

 What are you looking forward to in your life of toys, sci fi and models?

      You misunderstood me mate - Sixteen Twelve are releasing themed episodic Eagles, so "Breakaway" consists of an Eagle Freighter with radioactive waste pods, silo cover and moon buggy etc. There's five or six different episodes getting similar treatment.

      Oh, I see Fenton! They sound like amazing sets. Are they expensive? I wish Project SWORD had been a TV show. We might still get some toys from that too! Space 1999 does seem to be still very popular. More than most Anderson shows. Why is that?

      Just over £100 iirc , it will go nicely with my VIP Eagle from the same episode.
      I think the show's popularity endures due to a combination of some interesting storylines (more so in series one !) and iconic hardware, certainly Anderson's last great show

    We have for time to time model kit conventions (and Trading Card Game tournaments) here in my City.
    For me, I am waiting for few packages with model kits and looking for spare time to build some from the backlog

      I want to remodel it to look even more like Superbike with colours like this one

    I'm keeping an eye out for new Mattel Jurassic World toys.They look really appealing and will probably be in stores soon.

      Sounds right up your Kaiju street Bri. I found an old large boxed Jurrasic Park boxed set in my attic the other day! Id hidden it away!

    Hoping to photograph a few toys I've neglected over the years, Woodsy. Also looking forward to continuing the hunt for old toys at the car boot this summer :)
