The start of my new rabbit hole is the Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadren.
I’ll have to edit my photo as it is too big at the moment.
I’ve a few more on the way such as the Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighter
(damaged & undamaged), Troop transporter, Slave 1 & Asajj Ventures’ ship.
Reminds me a lot of the old Galoob Micro Machine Action Fleet.
The stated trick here is that they are supposed to be in scale with each
other, but they are not quite sticking to this.
The danger is the chase ships which are starting to command a pretty
penny. I’ve managed to find a chase X-Wing, but that’s it.

I still have all mine Brian. & my general Micro Machine collection. That was a
deep rabbit hole for me - the ships, the transforming heads/scenes, the
Death Star & Action fleet.
They did a set for Babylon 5 as well which I also have. But I’ve squirrelled
that away somewhere no need to find that.

Just saw a Funko Pop Wolverine in my brown costume. Unmasked, with what appears to be their Hugh Jackman head. When worlds collide!

Blurgh! Ordered thru Amazon a non-Lego TIE Interceptor. Arrived yesterday, with no instructions! Should have read more closely. The Amazon page says a PDF of the instructions can be dowloaded. From China! Sorry, too paranoid for that! Blurgh!!!!

Finished the Lego Saturn V this morning. Amusing as always to note how cleverly they use standard pieces in new and different ways. This is actually the third Saturn V I’ve built, going back to the Revell model I bought in the early Seventies (and still have!). The stylization in the Lego version, to get something that is close to looking like the real thing—-well, like I said, amusing.

Been @ Celebration today, loads of stuff announced/shown by Hasbro.
They have a mock up of the Mandalorian N-1, announced the next HasLab
will be in the vintage Collection line (cue lots of shouts of ‘The Ghost’, but
they would not be drawn on what it will be) & gave away two TVC Sail
Barges.
Good panel all around.
Also visited the Jazzwares stand, which produce my latest version of crack
- the micro galaxy squadron. Lots of good info, including that distribution in
the UK should get better, & they also had some AT-ATs ti play with - those
look fantastic.
Going to be an expensive year for ship buying I think
