Can't return it either because it was bought in the US. Did I mention it costs $400 as well?

Man, GW is really skipping on the art box, those things are looking a bit bland compared to what I remember. Awesome loot though!

Do you want the 2010 book to be done before he gets dementia?

I got the first order transport for Manly Santa Day, along with various other gadgets, clothes, and cash.

Disappointed that Captain Phasma's head is only a plain black head piece.

Much to my surprise some stores already had nexo knights, I picked up these as a means to dip into the theme:

Both are pretty great! I'm going to really enjoy this theme. TLG also seems to have had it with Mike and just put out that 2010 book:

They remained faithful to the source as it's full of trolls:

@BFenix - I love the way Aaron looks - figures are cast in pearl silver. The printing is very vibrant and glossy. The new shield is nice and the dualcast armor looks rad too. Figures can look a little encumbered but it's all a matter of posing:

Since the crests of the knights are on their chest and not on the armor piece it makes them easily reusable:

I got a new shovel.
Plastic with a metal edge and a HARD WOOD SHAFT.
They even stained it.

The old one still works but its 20 years old and I don't need it breaking when I need it.

I like those heater shields, if that's what they're supposed to be. wish the shields from the old medieval sets were more like that

edit: I didnt realize these were from sets, I thought they were custom molds
