Sensational!

Thing is, the crooked bit only bothers me so much, I just can't stand the fact that he is a moron.

His comments on homosexuality and women's football etc are something your awkward racist uncle would say at a BBQ.

We get John Oliver the following week over here, so haven't seen any of his stuff on FIFA yet.

That said, this has been huuuuge news here for years, and is one of the only sports related things that makes me genuinely angry. I couldn't care less if my team (Arsenal) lose, even if I've paid $80 for a ticket, but seeing that clown run football with clearly shady goings on has made my blood boil.

Be very interesting to see where FIFA go from here, and Qatar cannot possibly keep the World Cup now given all of the stuff that has happened over there.

Thank the lord someone got the bastard eventually.

Jaws, best movie ever!

I love it too. You getting the Re-Action figures?

Do any of you have a recommend place for purchasing these? How expensive are they? Or is it dependent on character?

I've used Ali Express for mine, and they normally work out about a dollar each. The more you buy, the cheaper they are. e.g. One listing could be 10 Iron Men for $10, but then there might be a listing for 50 heroes for about $40.

If you got on Ali Express, type in 'decool' or 'block' and you seem to get the most results.

Finally got round to opening my parcel last week, and now the long delayed photo!

I love that set. Many of the main characters, glow in the dark parts AND the Double Decker Couch? Count me in!

And now I finally have a Uni Kitty!!!

Glad you like it, just sorry it took so long to get to me, and then to you.

Write in it! Draw in it!

If you look at her Facebook etc she has some very cool stuff, worth looking out for.

Thanks so much to my elephant. Weirdly I got a pack of beaver nuggets from my secret Santa as well. They are reeeeeal tasty. Love them!

And now I have most of the Lego Movie gang, just need to grab a Wyldstyle off eBay and everyone will be here!

I reckon my elephant was Luke, as the return address said 'Luke Porter' so not a great deal of detective work needed on that one

Thanks again!! We're moving house soon, and as soon as I have my den set up, I will get right on assembling the set. Can't wait!

The minifigures I have are also very good. I'd reckon a child wouldn't tell them apart, but they do have differences on the legs etc. some slight colour differences too.

Let us know what the set is like, as have considered a few Iron Man sets.

Thanks Wintersoldier! Will have a look at those.

Managed to grab a couple of small gatchapon robots, and a vinyl POP style version of what I would class as the 'main' robot. The white and blue guy.

Very interested to see the Big Chap packaging. The figure is glorious.

I love the look of the Gundam models, problem is I have no skill to assemble them. The stuff I saw when on holiday in Japan was mind blowing!

Do they do any 'action figures' that are ready to go straight out of the box? Like Figuarts style? Been trying to figure that out for a couple of weeks but didn't really know what I was looking at.

Weird choice of figures in that one.

Was hoping for a final scene avengers with Rhodey and Falcon etc.

You might want to hide all those X-men....

I really really like those!

And I'm certainly not saying that all kids inherently possess traditional gendered roles and preferences, so I hope that doesn't come across.

Short of creating some the experiment you suggested (where, i imagine, a child is isolated in a bubble [a la Species] for the first 10 years of their life and supplied with an equal number of what we would call traditionally boys and traditionally girls toys and clothes, we'll probably never be able to definitively answer the question.

Back on topic: Avengers, whoop and woot!

I'm delighted. I've been the one in London a few times, but it's about $35 a ticket! So this should be a much cheaper night out and it's only a 10 minute drive from me.

Good points K80. Not sure if you guys get a show called Qi out on BBC America? Hosted by Stephen Fry?

They had a 'boys and girls' episode a few years back. Sandi Toksvig was on there talking about her young son, and how she and her partner made a conscience decision not to let him have toy guns etc. sure enough he hit an age where everything he could get his hands on was a 'gun', using cardboard toilet rolls etc. doesn't prove anything but makes me laugh.

Wish I could find the clip I'm talking about, but here is the link to what I think is the full episode.

And Nessex, I honestly can't believe that GotG stuff! Astonishing!

Got my ticket booked for tomorrow night and can't wait!

Also found out my local cinema is getting an IMAX screen in time for Jurassic World, which is huge news. I realize they are 10 a penny in the states, but up until 2 years ago I think we only had 2 in the whole of England.

Does anyone listen to the cracked.com podcast? They touch on sexism (amongst other themes) this week in a very interesting episode.

I tried linking them to the GGbakery instagram, but i think the page might accoutn might be dead

My account can be found at disc0naut

If i've linked it wrong, let me know so i can fix it up and direct some traffic to the right place.

Thanks for trying Nessex. Will pass on your details and see if we can find you.

Now things are a bit more settled my end, I will open up my Birthday parcel. Been sitting with me for a while, and just waiting for a quiet moment...will post details this week.

Yeah I think I saw a price for $30 somewhere. Lucky us in old blighty...

Yeah I saw those photos! Hopefully means we will get some cheaper real Lego sets down the line.

Doesn't work but thanks for trying ?
