I've nearly finished building a fiddly and frustrating 1:32 scale RC truck.

So I've bought what looks like a slightly less fiddly 1:12 scale RC pickup kit. With tracks. Half price though!

Ninja is here. For something that looks like you need a degree in engineering to operate it's actually incredibly simple. It's also quite intuitive, learning the best grind settlings as it goes etc. I'm no coffee aficionado at all so was really surprised at the difference in taste from the same beans I used in the old one.
It will also give me a mug of hot water for tea and produce a velvetiser rivalling hot chocolate. Very happy.

Interesting I have been looking at these wondering if it is worth it

Have a look at Tom’s Coffee Corner, I think he’s got a website but his YouTube videos on the Ninja are very informative and will give you a very good idea if this is something you will find useful or not.

I picked a Storm Trooper & a Darth Vadar up last xmas for my little boy - both unboxed but they were only a tenner each. The joys of Facebook marketplace!

76cm seems a little short for a Stormtrooper.

Are we sure they aren't Luke in disguise?

HOW MUCH!!?
I have those in the loft!!

As for stormtrooper height. Out with the Garrison there would always be some wag that would come up to me and say "you're a little short for a stormtrooper har har har". Their faces, when met with the reply "Perhaps, but I'm the perfect height for a woman" was usually priceless. They never expected a female to be in costume.

I got one of these for the crimbo tree. It's a brush and a dinosaur and an ornament!

Other styles available.

Maybe this is exactly the place to ask…

I’m need a daffy mogwai, this one:

Doesn’t seem to be in stock anywhere in uk as far as I can see. Would prefer not to have to import it as that would be tight on time as it’s for a secret Santa.

Doh, don’t know why it wasn’t showing when I searched, but then realised where my delivery address was set to.

Bought it, so thanks for that!
