This is genuine, but at the same time, just a bit of fun.  If I sell any at all, I will be surprised.  That said, I only have enough parts on order for 12 Minifigs at this time – heads being the main limitation.

Please click the image for the relevant page.  Please also read the conditions, sale is limited to those aged 16 and above – not to be annoying, but to ensure that I don’t feel guilty with people spending their hard-earned pocket money on what is, after all, a tiny little Minifig!

Doctor Who – Target Books – Radio 4.

Posted by Doctor Sinister on June 24th, 2009 filed in Doctor Who
Comment now »

Attention all Whovians – there was a really cool program about the Target Books range of novelisations on Radio 4 last night, presented by Mark Gatiss and with contributions from Terrance Dicks et al.

If, like me, you can remember collecting the entire range of books and reading and re-reading them over and over again, it’s really worth listening to. You can listen again for the next week via the Radio 4 website.

Chrome Vader Figure at TRU in the UK – still available.

Posted by Doctor Sinister on June 24th, 2009 filed in LEGO, Shopping, Star Wars
Comment now »

Basingstoke TRU still has “lots” of Chrome Vaders in stock – I just got a second one having observed that they had stocked up on Clone Battle Packs.

Also, there was a very nice young lady from LEGO itself stocking the shelves – bit of a swiz that TRU seem to need to get someone in from LEGO to go sorting their shelves out for them, but there you go. Anyway, I asked her about new SW sets and she said TRU probably wouldn’t get them until August, but she admitted she was the last to know anything.

Doctor Sinister didn’t see why anyone else should have a stick if he couldn’t have one.

Street scene by Huw Millington (who doesn’t condone this sort of thing at all).

Weird cloud in the sky.

Posted by Doctor Sinister on June 21st, 2009 filed in Life
Comment now »

OK, I know this doesn’t look like much – but it’s odd. It’s pitch black outside except for this odd sort of cloud in the sky. It’s MUCH wider than any vapour trail I’ve ever seen and it’s glowing – possibly with reflected light from the Earth, but also, it’s getting longer and there isn’t a plane up there – no sound, no lights.

What do you think? The remains of an old vapour trail with ice crystals forming along it?
