YOUR HELP NEEDED: THRUSHBUSTER BLUE?
RADIO CONTROL SPV
I didn't realise that there was a radio control SPV toy available. Here's a short video by Gadget Labo showcasing its looks and insides. There's a size comparison with the C21 SPV too I think. The radio controlled action is at the end.
Anyone got one?

SIXTEEN 12 EPISODE 1 FREIGHTER EAGLE
A look back at the first of the Sixteen 12 'Episode' Eagle model, the 'Breakaway' Eagle Freighter ,which appeared in October, 2018, and if I remember correctly, sold out on the 16/12 website before the official release date.
Limited to just 1000 units, and based on the earlier Product Enterprise Winch Eagle, this upgraded model now featured aluminium engine bells and its own loading platform display plinth.
It also came with a nuclear silo cover and the now familiar Alpha Moon Buggy.
I should also mention the attractive packaging which to my mind, has an evocative nostalgic look about it.
ASTEROID KILLERS
Just seen on the News that NASA is sending a spacecraft to smash into an asteroid!
Its a test run in case its ever really needed.
Its the stuff of science fiction coming true!
Boy, I hope they get it right and keep that moonlet safe!
Do you think this NASA mission might re-ignite interest in space?
CEREAL FILLERS
I'm enjoying cereals again this Autumn.
It started with a box of Golden Grahams, those cinnamonny squares of sweetness.
I followed these with a large box of Lucky Charms from the American aisle in the local supermarket. Amazingly it had a space them on the back of the box but like the Grahams there wasn't any freebie inside.
My latest morning treat are Golden Nuggets, those crunchy yellow orbs. The old prospector on the box always makes me think of a goldrush type fairground ride I went on as a kid, probably at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Despite a dearth of those fab plastic toys from my childhood in any of them I still like my boxed breakfasts.
Not sure which cereals will come next. Any advice readers? Which cereals do you enjoy?
Which cereals would you like back and which freebie inside?
A QUANTITY OF OLD SPACE PLASTIC
There's been a few mixed lots on the Bay this year, lots of SpaceX and Project SWORD and the like.
Here's a couple I spotted and saved the images.
This one, with its two SpaceX vehicles top right, has the nifty little orange space car in it, a clone of Billy Blastoff's car. Have you got one? What are those three figures at the bottom?

HOLY REPLICA BATMOBILE
Way back in 2015, a friend and I took a trip to the Perch Rock fort in New Brighton to check out a replica Batmobile that was on display there.
