A snapshot of some of my xmas gifts, excluding the drinkable and edible portions! I'm sure you won't want to see hand or foot cream, aftershave and the other necessities of daily life, so here is most of the fun stuff.
Star Wars is always on my xmas list, so it's 'Battles that Changed the Galaxy' and a cool Bestiary. Then a lovely Taschen edition of the Stanley Kubrick Archives, with excellent coverage of 2001 and a Clockwork Orange, two of my favourite films. Woodsy kindly showered me with gifts as usual, including our collaborative book and some vintage space books from Germany. These alongside a super rare mini jigsaw with the John Schoenberr Moon Crawler on! As always Hot Wheels put in a good show and a fabulous transformer like Crab toy.
A special gift from the ever generous Arto arrived early, in the form of a super delicate R&L cereal premium in the shape of a German Albatross biplane!
To top it all off, I also got some camera rig bits, a new runic necklace and some cool fake book storage boxes. It's been a lovely xmas all round and I am extremely lucky. I will show some of the highlights later next year on the blog, just need to recalibrate the man-cave to fit it all in!
Also treated myself to a couple of late action figure purchases, which I hope haven't got lost in the xmas rush!
Best wishes for a great 2025 everyone, from Marsbase Central! Bill
Thanks again Bill for identifying this set of cereal premium kits for me. Looking forward to seeing little Albatross built! Happy 2025!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently working up to a really basic build. I don't want to ruin it by doing a rubbish paint job!
DeleteWhat a cool haul Bill! That Kubrick book looks ace! The two Star Wars books too. I wonder if the moon worm is still the biggest creature to have appeared in the franchise?
ReplyDeleteI suspect the worm has been left behind by the hyperspace capable Purgills from Rebels and Ahsoka. I'll have to check though! Bill
DeleteA monster called Purgills! What is it, a giant cat?
DeleteQuite the haul
