    Totally agree, and those two roles were especially well catered for!

    Anyone else really tempted by the ZAP Astro Megazord?

    So he'll have something to prove as he'll try and show Bayern they were wrong for not picking him more often!

    This far into the season I think ten Hag has earned a fair bit of trust so hopefully it'll be another smart decision.

    Got a belated Christmas present from one of my sisters today which was spent on,

    NECA Ultimate Jungle Hunter Predator
    "Where Eagles Dare" blu-ray

    Also got a refund coming from some concert tickets as after multiple reschedulings the Judas Priest/Ozzy tour has finally been cancelled due to Ozzy's ongoing health issues.

    Wasn't surprised as it was originally meant to take place in 2019 but still got the Iron Maiden gig later in the year to look forward to and hopefully Priest will do a UK tour in the near future.

    MOTU = Multiple listings of new stuff for Origins, Masterverse and the CGI line have appeared!!!!

    Most notable for me are Origins Talon Fighter with Point Dread and Masterverse Ram Man and Grizzlor :rock

    Before I forget yet again! @Insurgent : It's not been announced yet, but images have leaked in the past few months of a, new Lord Zedd figure coming down the pipe in Lightning Collection - I remember you saying something about wanting him, so there might be a better chance in the hopefully not too distant future than overpriced secondary market prices of the previous figs.

    Speaking of Zedd, I've hit the Dino Fury episode with his return.
    Badass! It was great seeing him cut loose, and this is without his staff! New actor did a decent voice in place of the late OG actor's distinctive voice. Kind of weird though, so far Ollie (blue) being so self confident/not afraid of anything is a character trait he's not really shown till this episode.
    Also fun they bring Zedd back in an episode which is part of a tradition of bringing back old monsters in Halloween episodes :D .

    Nice. I was thinking maybe the two pack of him and rita that kapow still haven't moved. I always wanted a rita but one wasn't made back in the day so i used the picture of her from the goldar box (think studio series style background) and said she was projecting a hologram. Lol. I wonder if the new zedd figure will be based on his dino fury look, he's a bit more beefed up in the show, which coupled with them saying he's from when he was at his most evilist, makes ne think younger zedd with the mmpr zedd being old age zedd and he just sorta retired after killing the machine empire royal family, since i don't think he did too much in In Space.

    Yeah, they totally did zedd justice in that episode. I was grinning like a loon when i watched it. His voice was passable but not great to me. Fortunately, when he does return, they've tweaked his voice performance a little. It's still the same guy but sounds closer to his og voice, but without trying to be a bad copy. And if you thought he was a badass here.....

    I only wish all returning characters in tv were treated with this respect.

    The piece of snot had to go but Stratos was still proud of it.

    From that angle it looks like he's enjoying it a bit too much.

    You know you've made an impact when my split second inital reaction to that goal was "I'm surely gonna have to say something to @bcm77 about the new goal machine" and then I cheered :lol

    Package from Comics & Cocktails arrived with the NECA Big Chap and it's great, just got to be careful with some of the joints as they're on the stiff side and a couple of the tubes that extend from the sides of his head and go into his back are very thin so I'll be taking extra care when moving the head around.

    Fantastic sculpt, enough articulation for the character, great paint apps that give it that slightly sticky look and there's a bendy wire in the tail too!

    One minor niggle is that the inner jaws don't have a spring mechanism but it's easy enough to work around.

    Accessories are what you'd expect namely,

    1 opened egg with base
    1 facehugger
    1 chestburster

    So you get the life cycle of the Alien in one box which makes for a very good package!

    @4249david,
    :D 

    Roy was in a good mood after the game, he cheekily asked ten Hag for a couple of complimentary tickets for the final without a hint of menace in his voice :D

    Ooof, it's quite telling that Black Panther 2: Waka Waka! is on Plus and I can't really care :oops: 

    That Guardians threequel is gonna need to do some damage because the bad movie and TV fatigue is real now.

    We watched it last night and while I wasn't wowed by it the same way I was by the First Black Panther movie, it is GOOD. Not great, but GOOD. Also be prepared to read a LOT. I appreciate the use of actual Mayan and whatever Wakandan is Frankensteined out of but there's a LOT of subtitled exposition. It's also heavily part of the Soundtrack which makes for some great moments. I'm loathe to use the word "exotic" but it really created another world for me.

    I WISH it was socially acceptable to gorrila/ baboon hoot at someone who was talking bollocks, the way the Jabeeri tribe do in these films

    I thought they snatched defeat from the victorious jaws with the first (Chadwick and Michael were just wasted after doing so well), so I haven't felt inspired at all by Panther (the character) seemingly getting sidelined in their own movie again. And I'm sorry but that is nobody's idea of Namor.
