I'm not widely travelled. If you want to know a decent fish and chip shop in the middle of Wales, I'm your man. But my first-hand experience of the world through travel is limited, outside of a school trip to Paris in my teens, which was marred somewhat by my losing my wallet, limiting what …

My First Post in AAAGES! Updates.
Hi everyone! It's been forever! I've been incredibly neglectful of this site, and I sincerely apologise! So what's happened since I last posted on here? Not an abundance, truth be told. I recently bought 11 Star Wars Episode 1 Cadbury Chocolate bars. This was definitely a highlight of recent years. Outside of buying long-inedible confectionery, …
My visit to the Ray Harryhausen “Titan of Cinema” Exhibition!
As I’m suffering with Covid, I thought would be a perfect time to actually get something written and posted on this poor neglected website. As I’m currently not going far from my bed, it’s given me time to reflect on interesting places visited the past year or so. Arcade Club in Bury Manchester was definitely …

Bullmark 1970 Reproduction Godzilla figure, by Bandai B-club, 2001!
It isn't often that I do a YouTube video, but I did a YouTube video, where I look at a reproduction of the 1970s Japanese Godzilla figure. The original version of this toy actually appeared onscreen in Godzilla vs Hedorah (the Smog Monster). https://youtu.be/PNwzk9emauE
Goosebumps ‘Monster Bags’ Action Figures from 1996!
READER BEWARE, YOU'RE IN FOR A SCARE... I don't think I knew anyone at my school who wasn't obsessed with Goosebumps at some point. Even kids who weren't into reading still read R.L. Stine's popular horror novel series. I remember going on holiday was always exciting, as there was a little bookshop in Porthmadog, and …

Star Wars ‘The Next 17’ Vintage Style Ephant Mon Action Figure!
I used to collect modern Star Wars toys. Well, I guess I still do to some extent. As a kid, I collected vintage, and then modern (POTF2, Episode I, Saga etc). But then at about fifteen, I sold the lot of modern. And then at about twenty-five, I started picking up modern again. And then …
