got this one today, have Jean Grey from before, and hoping to get Rouge soon, and all the others, but not sure how many different there are in this series, only know that they are limited to 5000 of each figure, and all are numbered

PS3? ;)

Looks like a good set though, only have the first 3 myself - third I got free with the PS3 as I wouldn't have bought it with money :lol: Liked the Wolverine Origins one though and First Class looked good too though I haven't had the chance to see the latter yet.

i don't realy like the PS3 to small controllers in my opinion, xbox360 controllers is exactly the right size for my hands :P
but Blu-ray players arent that expensive anymore anyway.

got this set because i love Marvel in general, and mostly X-Men, and also it was at a decent price (paid about 39£ for it), looking forward to the next Origin movie, and are planning to watch Avengers 3D in the cinema tomorrow on the world premier

Yeah, PS3 controllers can be an acquired taste, but then there's the blu ray/media remote ;) Honestly though, PS3's rated by many as one of the best players still and a great media hub besides - constant updates, HD 3D ready and so forth. I think it's just some of the higher audio profiles it can't quite handle. I know of some people that barely use the system for gaming at all, just media :lol:

But yeah, haven't been going to the cinema much recently hence missing First Class but hopefully rectify that soon. Avengers looks amazing and the reviews seem to back that up thankfully. Still disappointed Ed Norton didn't carry on in his Banner role but I'll probably forget about it after the first 5 minutes :)

if i get a PS3 for cheap i will buy one, but i don't think that will be happening anytime soon :P

i have seen so many different Bruce Banner characters during the last 20years, so i'm not that stuck on him playing that role like some people are, but are really looking forward to see it, will be the first 3D movie for me, so quite excited, only 3D i have seen before was in a ghost house :lol: so atleast i know that i can see 3D, i know some people can't see it

Found this Space Invaders bath towel in Primark in Edinburgh of all places. It was the last one they had and only cost £6. The missus says it clashes with the white and green colour scheme of our bathroom but I think it looks just lovely :mrgreen:

Image

No idea if it's worth something, but i just paid 3£ for it :lol:

It's the black and white one, I didn't really buy it, it was given to me. Me and my wife called him oliver, and the black one that we have had for about 8 months now is called bagheera.

Just got 35 Archie Comics, Sonic, Knuckles, Tails & a few Specials from my local "Second Hand Shop like Cash Converters" (Word replacement due to complaint from said company) for £19.99. Most were in good condition with the exception of about 5-6, I didn't think it was a bad price though for that lot.

Jubilee

it also had a magazine with some info and history about Jubilee, and i hope to get more of this series later on, i think there are 175 different Marvel figures released so far, and they still more to come
