Now let's get to this week's show.
0:24
My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
0:27
I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
0:36
It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so he's got a
0:39
fake hammer. Oh.
0:41
A fake Whoa. As I say, Dick.
0:51
Welcome to episode 72 of the Allegiance Podcast.
0:55
It's not episode 72. It's episode 73, Episode 70.
1:00
Two, hang on a minute. Was the was the replay episode?
1:05
That's your fault, Rich. I'm going to keep that in.
1:07
We're going to go like that. For our US listeners, hope you
1:11
had a great 4th of July. For our UK listeners, the
1:15
election is over so you can get on with your lives again.
1:19
It's all good for us. You're the rest of us, EUR.
1:22
We're over here watching the football quarterfinal weekend
1:25
coming up, so looking forward to that.
1:28
And the summer was here briefly, but uh, it's gone again.
1:32
Piss and rain again today 14°, it's 29° on Sunday.
1:38
I mean, it's just I'm dead. I'm dead.
1:43
I've given up. I've given up.
1:44
Luxembourg has inherited the British weather.
1:46
Well done, Luxembourg. Yeah, I said to Cindy, I said
1:48
today, it's like Ireland, she goes, it's worse than Ireland
1:52
because it's so dark. At least in Ireland there's a
1:55
bit of a breeze. It just blows through.
1:57
I said, you have a point. Yeah, this is just 24 hours
2:00
misery. But yeah, I'm watching a lot of
2:02
football. I remember when I first came
2:06
here, one of the first summers I spent here when I was, I went
2:08
back to college and it was, I came over, was in my second
2:12
year, uh, and I'd had a summer thing, uh, job or something set
2:17
up here and it fell through. Uh, so I was stuck basically
2:21
without a car and uh, we live quite in the countryside here.
2:25
Umm, so, uh, I watched the World Cup.
2:28
I remember there was one of my biggest memories.
2:30
I was watching the World Cup 2006 because it was on in
2:33
Germany as well. So it was a big hike over here
2:35
for us and the German team was doing quite well.
2:37
And I remember that, uh, semi final Italy and Germany, uh, and
2:42
I was just it went to extra time.
2:44
It was an absolute. It was a nil, a nil, nil until
2:46
about the 119th minute. But it was an absolutely
2:50
incredible game of football. It was just everything except
2:52
goals. And and then the Italians scored
2:57
this incredible goal just before we thought was going to
2:59
penalties and I knocked over a liter glass bottle of water
3:04
heavy and it was being good boy, all over the tile floor.
3:10
So that went everywhere, glass everywhere.
3:13
My wife being environmentally conscious with her glass
3:18
bottles, but I didn't appreciate it at that particular moment.
3:23
So I'm a little bit back in that mode now.
3:25
Not quite, but I'm enjoying the kind of regular summer football
3:29
and I think international football, it's, even though it's
3:32
probably worse quality, it's more fun to watch.
3:35
I'm not a big Premier League kind of day-to-day man.
3:38
I, I think in the Premier League you need to be really bought
3:41
into one of the clubs. Or is it international football?
3:44
You know, you just, even if your own team isn't it, you can kind
3:47
of get behind one country over another, you know.
3:51
Yeah. I I wouldn't disagree with that.
3:53
I'm not that first by international football but when
3:56
it comes to the Premier League and you really watch United, Man
3:59
United. But it's when you see the
4:03
smaller countries doing doing well and kind of.
4:05
That's it. That's.
4:06
It well, we're England doing badly, which is a Welshman that
4:10
you know, it's never a bad thing to be honest.
4:12
So you have. The problem is I'm not fussed by
4:14
England doing well either until they'd start doing well.
4:17
It's nice, but I'm not. We have this debate in Ireland.
4:20
It's like, what point do you want England to go out?
4:22
Is it like we want them to stay in a good while because we want,
4:25
you know, the entertainment of it all, Because even if they're
4:29
doing well, they managed to kind of, you know, their their media
4:31
is always finding fault and you know, it's very entertaining,
4:35
but you don't ever want to risk them getting to the final
4:37
because then they might actually win it, you know.
4:42
So an inglorious semi final exit on penalties.
4:44
I think is is being decided as the preferred entertainment for
4:49
for us Irish, Although I wouldn't mind.
4:51
I don't care to be honest, I just want to to watch.
4:54
It's it's all entertainment for me.
4:57
We have about a mile down the road there's a, they've built,
5:01
not built, but set up a fan park.
5:04
So they're showing, they've got like 7m screen and they show it
5:08
and it's outdoors and all this sort of stuff.
5:10
I'm going nowhere near it. But it basically I don't need to
5:13
be watching the football to know how England are doing.
5:16
Silence, silence, silence. Then a massive roar and you're
5:20
like, OK, they've scored. And then he went silent again
5:22
really quickly. And I'm like, OK, that must have
5:24
been disallowed to check the live text.
5:26
And he's like, yeah, it's been disallowed.
5:27
And then another huge cheer and roar when they scored in the
5:31
last minute. And it's like, yeah, I can just
5:33
follow all like this, the noise from there.
5:35
Yes, like when one of my one of my friends that I'm going to you
5:40
would be chatting a bit about football with or whatever and he
5:43
was over in the UK And because he's watching the kind of, you
5:48
know, just regular terrestrial television when he's watching
5:50
the game, it's a little bit ahead of the kind of IPTV that
5:54
I'm watching. So I had to kind of switch the
5:56
messages off because he kept spoiling it like, you know, 30
6:00
seconds before a goal or something, you get this message
6:03
and it's like, OK, I need to switch you off now.
6:08
I had that in the. Was it the lie?
6:12
It must be in the EUR. It must be the last EUR because
6:14
they were in, in over here, weren't they?
6:16
Or the the later stages were anyway.
6:18
And I was literally watching it in a pub and my friend who lives
6:21
in Italy was messaging me going oh so and so scored.
6:23
And it wouldn't come up on the screen for like a minute.
6:25
And I'm like, I'm in the actual country where it's taking place.
6:28
And you know, a minute before I do what the score is.
6:32
He's on the satellite TV and yeah, and the pub was obviously
6:34
using Internet TV, which is always just a little bit
6:39
delayed. So, yeah, there you go.
6:42
So even you see with the streaming, with the comments,
6:45
you often see if you do live stream, you often see the the
6:50
kind of reaction to something you said in the comments come in
6:52
a couple of, you know, good 30 seconds afterwards.
6:55
It's not quite instantaneous, no.
6:59
It was really awkward for me though, because I was on.
7:00
I'd be sat there, look at my phone and go.
7:02
Oh, and everybody at the table would look around and go, what
7:04
do you know? It was like nothing, nothing.
7:09
Well, and we are going to talk this week about the summer of
7:13
Kazmirium. We're also going to talk about a
7:16
little bit about ashes of a Bender retail pricing just to
7:19
see how that's shaping up. If you want to top up your
7:23
direct order or even just make your first order, uh, going with
7:28
your local retailers, how that might look for you across UK,
7:33
Europe, and of course, we'll have a look at America as well,
7:35
just to see how that shapes up against us, John.
7:40
You weren't looking at your screen then, but as soon as you
7:42
mentioned the summer of Cosmurium, Mal immediately had
7:44
his hand on his chest. He was he was doing that.
7:47
I was like, wow, he's like grabbing his nipples with
7:50
excitement. Talking about Cosmurium.
7:51
OK, it's not even that's. Another show Rich it was.
7:53
Another it was. Just a little bit of an itch I
7:57
was. Scratching any viewers would be
7:58
able to see that any viewers would be able to confirm.
8:03
That join our patron if you want to see more of that content I.
8:06
Didn't know. And I also do, I do know that
8:13
Mister Gerrard put up a couple more lore stories, one on the
8:16
Blue Shield and another one with Schwei in the in the kind of
8:24
tower or whatever, going through the the old books and stuff like
8:26
that. So we will get to those
8:28
eventually, but Mal is too busy tidying up his house on his days
8:35
off to, umm, But yeah, we will, we know there will be gaps
8:42
where, uh, we can slot that stuff in and that's never going
8:46
to go, umm, how would you say? Uh, it's never going to go off
8:51
the headline news. We can always put those things
8:53
in when they fit. And so, yeah, something to look
8:57
forward to. And but anyway, uh, in the
9:01
meantime, maybe you just talk a little bit about Anthony you've
9:04
picked up recently or, umm, what's been troubling your
9:08
wallets aside from the ashes of Agbendor.
9:12
I know Mal today was desperately scrambling to get Casey Jones
9:16
from Masco and success. Yes, yes, I managed to get him
9:23
only to read later there might be a UK release but I've got
9:28
him. Yeah, I think it's not an
9:31
official from Mexico, UK release though.
9:33
I think it's just some retailers that might get some stocks.
9:36
Yeah, it could be more expensive, I don't know.
9:39
I don't know how that works. Would have been something cool
9:43
if you had missed him. Maybe divine, but.
9:46
Yes, yeah, yeah, I've got him though.
9:47
So yeah, I'm, I'm pleased. I'm chuffed.
9:51
It's a bit weird. I mean, I know they do this.
9:53
It's a bit weird that Casey's an exclusive after the turtles were
9:57
not, so that's a bit strange. Yeah, yeah, it's strange
10:03
decision, isn't it really? But not the first one Mexico
10:07
have made. Yeah, imagine, you know, imagine
10:13
the four horsemen, you know, did a wave and then released auto as
10:17
an exclusive. He could only get them in
10:19
limited quantities on the website, just with no further
10:23
future release after. And then they're all, they're
10:27
all just sat there in the studio eating popcorn, watching all the
10:29
comments going up on the cabal. No, that is the plan, Jeremy.
10:34
You know, don't joke on your popcorn right now.
10:40
And you were rich. Anything.
10:43
I had a a very large roll of bubble wrap arrived earlier.
10:45
That's always an exciting time in my house.
10:47
That means eBay sales are going well and I've run out, so I need
10:50
to order some more. So that's, that's always a good
10:51
thing. No, apart from that I've been,
10:54
I've been trying not to spend money to be honest.
10:56
I'm trying desperately not to buy much at all in the run up to
11:00
Legions Con. There'll be other stuff like
11:02
Monster Force and that sort of thing which I'm going to have to
11:05
pick up and pay for in the meantime.
11:06
But all the, yeah, all the mythic stuff and cosmic stuff,
11:10
you know, there's so many good sculpts coming out from the
11:11
third party people at the moment.
11:12
And it's like, Nope, just wait, wait for Legions Con.
11:14
Just wait for Legions Con. You get some good painted ones
11:16
there. So although I did have an e-mail
11:19
from Hasbro Pulse earlier saying that my 60th anniversary retro
11:24
diver is on the way. So you know they did the like
11:27
the marine and the dive or the grunt and the diver.
11:29
Or something for mid-july. I remember ordering, yeah, some
11:32
of the dress. So yeah, then this one was this
11:35
one was ordered like, oh God, must be getting off a year ago.
11:39
And I had the. Other 60th anniversary one a few
11:41
months back now, which is a great figure, and this one just
11:44
seemed to vanish. But yeah, all of a sudden it get
11:45
a little notice saying it's left the building.
11:47
Brilliant. So that'll be exciting when that
11:49
turns up. Well Big Bad Toy Store looked to
11:52
have had their dreadnock torch in but as over UK her pulse is
11:59
like no not yet, not yet. Yeah, but you'll get it.
12:03
You'll get it. So don't worry about I.
12:04
Mean I could afford to wait. I've already seemed to have
12:07
managed to rack up a bill this month.
12:11
And and. Slack How did Jader Toys, M
12:16
Bison and Oh gobble mine's gone blank.
12:22
Dalcim from AUK online retailer who's still showing it as
12:26
pre-order on their website and paid paid for it fully in
12:29
advance. And The Smiths toy superstores
12:31
have got them in stock and had them for at least a month.
12:34
So if I'm ever in there I can see it on the shelf and it's
12:37
like I can't get it though because I've got one pre-ordered
12:39
and paid for so I have to just wait.
12:40
It's like, come on. Yeah, there's some of the
12:44
European legions retailers that often have the the wave a little
12:48
bit later than the others, so you have to kind of know which
12:52
ones. It's not Figure and Lager and
12:56
it's not my Underground. They're the ones to go for.
13:00
They have the best prices too. I did have a box, a very large
13:04
box, I'm sure if I mentioned in the show or not.
13:06
Actually, I don't think half arrived from David Williams.
13:09
God bless David. He takes wow for me in the US
13:13
and then posted a box over to me.
13:15
It was it was a pox. It's all in box.
13:19
That's how much stuff there was. It cost $130.00 to ship it over
13:24
to the Holy. Smokes, yeah, I think, but it's
13:27
the same spice size box that we got lend to ship to each of us
13:32
separately, yes. That was some sort of price,
13:34
wasn't it? Yeah.
13:35
But yeah, some awesome stuff in there.
13:37
My naughty or nice barbarian Santa was in there.
13:41
It's. A lovely figure.
13:42
It's good. Yeah, really good.
13:45
I haven't opened them yet because I've been busy with
13:47
stuff, but I got two of the Jada toys, Mega Man figures, so I got
13:52
your Mega Man and Iceman. I want to say that came through
13:58
as well. And just like painted goodies,
14:01
some wonderful free gifts from people I'd bought stuff from.
14:06
Shout out to Steph De la Tour, Corey Shorts and Hoffa Blaze
14:12
Bear. Thank you, guys.
14:13
There was lots of, like little freebies night in there and some
14:16
big freebies. Yeah, it's an awesome box.
14:19
I was sat like a kid at Christmas opening this thing up
14:22
just like paper going everywhere, just like, yeah,
14:24
it's just that. And there's that and.
14:27
Did you get some stuff up on the shelves then or?
14:31
I'm working on that. Collection.
14:35
It's it's still a bit of a mess. I'm I'm more tidying up to find
14:39
stuff to sell at the moment. So on Sunday I spent about 3
14:43
hours finding all the parts for various figures I wanted to sell
14:48
sort of thing and then getting the boxes and boxing them up.
14:50
And so I've got about another 1415.
14:52
Figures after I work. It's a ridiculously long time.
14:55
He's like, I've got it all. And then you're like, it's
14:56
missing a dagger, God damn it, and you're trying to find the
14:59
dagger that goes with it. So that's taking a lot of my
15:02
time at the moment, but to encourage me to do more of the
15:05
putting of customs together, I've actually gotten downstairs
15:07
in the living room at the moment and my good lady wife hasn't
15:10
lost her shit over it. Wow.
15:13
So I'll leave them there a bit longer and I could stop putting
15:15
them together a bit more. Nice, nice.
15:19
Yeah, I'm busy working on some little paint.
15:22
Thank you, John. Tidied him up.
15:25
I need to do the belt and the little metal thing at the front.
15:27
I have another one of those torsos as well that's slightly
15:30
less scared at the back. Know if you can see them, It's
15:35
kind of scared. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:38
Is that the nipple ring one or the non nipple?
15:40
Right. It's the nipple ring.
15:41
Yeah, yeah. So that's the sort of great
15:45
conversations you have with people when they, because I
15:47
commissioned that piece when you commissioned it with them.
15:49
And you get the pictures through and you're like, is that a
15:52
nipple ring? And you have a quick chat about
15:54
why there's a nipple ring on the torso and you're like, yeah, no,
15:56
that's a good idea. I like that, Yeah.
15:59
Yeah. So also that you actually
16:00
commissioned that torso that's. I did.
16:02
Yeah. Well, yeah, commissioned it
16:04
through prop masters so. Do you have it on a?
16:07
Different, yes, I've got two of that one and then one one of the
16:12
the sort of more simple one that you've got I've had that one in
16:15
fact the only one yeah, because they're going to be Myogrin.
16:18
So I wanted three of them, like bare chested sort of thing and
16:22
then another three or four will be wearing various clothes so.
16:26
Very good and I got some paints in from uh pro grill.
16:30
So I got these uh they're kind of signature sets.
16:34
Uh, I got the, the rogue hobbies one, the flame on miniatures one
16:38
and I also got their adepticon 1.
16:41
So that's another UH-24, no 18 colors, Sorry.
16:48
Uh, yeah, six by three is 18. Umm.
16:53
So I'm fun with those. Uh, they came in handy for those
16:56
torsos, Rich. So I was actually waiting for
16:58
them to come in. I was like, yeah, don't quite
17:01
have the color, but I was looking at the, the colors and I
17:03
was like, yeah, no, it still needed a blend of a different
17:07
few different colors, but there wasn't one that was close enough
17:10
to kind of make the blend easier.
17:12
Because that's what I always find if you if you need to blend
17:14
a bit, try and start with a color that's as close as you
17:17
need to blend and then just put small little bits of another
17:20
color in. Yeah, that makes sense.
17:23
If we do good job though, John, haven't seen it next to an arm
17:25
of the the figure you're matching.
17:26
It's it's a good. Yeah, it's close enough, I
17:29
think. Yeah.
17:31
If you watch the Rogue Hobbies YouTube video where she talks
17:37
about her set, she's basically tried to design it so you could
17:41
blend it absolutely any of the Games Workshop colours you want.
17:45
Oh wow, yeah, yeah, I must have some thought in.
17:50
I must look at that video, actually, Yeah, I think I
17:52
watched the video where she was just kind of promoting it.
17:55
It was a short video, but I didn't watch the video.
18:00
She Satan Nations match. Color match.
18:03
Something and then actually what I was doing today and like you
18:08
Rich trying to put, you know, trying to fish through your
18:14
figures to kind of pack them is a kind of laborious also, uh,
18:17
doing, uh, labels and putting pins into envelopes for our
18:22
patrons exclusive pin. Uh, so I've gone through a bunch
18:27
of those today and there's a couple of people I didn't have
18:30
addresses for so reached out to them.
18:32
So waiting. And then they'll be on their way
18:34
to, uh, our good friend Kevin in the states, who will distribute
18:40
them on our behalf through them. To the UK people, UK patrons, I
18:49
will get the envelopes tomorrow, yeah.
18:51
And and obviously any other European patrons, they will go
18:55
out. What you're going to say then I
18:59
was going what you're going to say into the UK, patrons just
19:01
shall luck, hard luck, I'm. Just going to leave them all in
19:06
the other room. And then, uh, there was the
19:09
Cullen, uh, did the wheel for the Ralph Mouse, uh, fundraiser,
19:14
which was amazing. Uh, Brian Lynn played a big part
19:17
in organizing that as well and a lot of other people, I mean,
19:20
some amazing, uh, donations for the prizes.
19:24
Uh, I know Jesse and Curtis donated a load of figures.
19:27
Uh, Eric Miller did some paint jobs, Corey Schwartzman offer.
19:32
He, he did some, uh, stuff, uh. Some of which I won.
19:36
That was very exciting. Yeah, yeah, yes, I donated the
19:42
custom. Lots of other cool people.
19:44
Obviously Brian himself did donate some stuff and loads of
19:50
people, too many to mention. Kevin Castillo, congratulations,
19:54
you won my custom. We've had some good back and
19:58
forth this week. It's ready and going to be
20:01
shipped out to you tomorrow. And he actually wanted me to do
20:05
a name and a bio as well for it. So I said, well, I first offered
20:10
I could, he could give me one if he if he wanted.
20:12
And I'll do a little bug, you know, I'll put it on the side of
20:15
a box room. And he thought about it and he
20:18
said, why don't you do it? And I said, OK, thanks.
20:21
Now I have to use my brain. I was good with typing and
20:26
gluing and and you know, I have the template from previous
20:29
custom. I did are some customs and uh
20:33
yeah. And then he said, if you can
20:34
incorporate my name somehow into it and I said Grant.
20:38
So I did that and then I said, do you want to be spoiled or do
20:40
you want to be surprised when you get the boxes?
20:43
So he said surprised. So that's fun because it can't
20:47
be changed. So but I I think it's good.
20:53
I, the only spoiler if you listen to this is I did
20:57
integrate, uh, a little bit of the lore from the ice troll, uh,
21:03
and Ragna and Tailin because they're from, they have bio
21:07
which is, uh, related to, uh, that kind of icy stuff.
21:11
And this is a kind of an icy demon, uh, using a, a head from
21:14
wolf king. And then obviously the rest is
21:17
Legion's parts, uh, which I have painted and added some snow
21:21
effects. So yeah, uh, All in all that uh,
21:24
went off amazingly well. They transferred only over 5000
21:28
Yeah dollars. I was going.
21:29
To say it's five and a half, $1000 I think wasn't.
21:31
It was an amazing over. €5000 to Ralph's family, to his wife and
21:36
his son and yeah. And Mark Calvo went over to the
21:40
funeral as well, so a lot of community involvement there.
21:44
So yeah, all I can say is, and obviously we'd rather this
21:50
didn't have to be done, but it just shows you what great
21:53
community it is in. Yeah, terrible, sad
21:56
circumstances like this. Okay, um, so anything else
22:01
happening with you boys before we go into some of the main
22:05
topic for this episode? No, if people haven't switched
22:08
off already with the football talk boom gone, it's our lives.
22:15
You know, sometimes our lives are boring to each other.
22:18
Put an American accent on John at the start, go over and just
22:21
go and the soccer and then just start right then and then.
22:24
Definitely turn off, You know, maybe the football's more
22:26
interesting to them when it's actually people talking about it
22:28
that know what it's about. I always find that's better.
22:35
Yeah. God.
22:36
And I'm listening to so many podcasts about it and
22:38
everything. It's, it's a little bit sad, but
22:41
hey, what can you do? I did listen to the mythic
22:44
enablers episode today was great.
22:45
Uh, uh, fair play to them. They're on episode 10 now, so
22:51
motoring along. I'm glad to see that they're
22:54
continuing with it and, uh, getting better all the time.
22:59
So that's, uh, awesome for them. And they did a a custom head
23:03
sculpt for Wyatt for his birthday.
23:07
They have his girlfriend arranged that in secret.
23:09
Is that what? It was I saw I saw a picture up
23:11
earlier. Sorry to spoil the Neighbor's
23:13
episode, but you should have listened to them.
23:15
It's been out a few days before you get this.
23:17
Come on, what are you doing Peppa?
23:19
And if and if not, then you know they should be in the queue
23:23
ahead of our episode, you know, surely.
23:27
Or not. Listen to it after.
23:30
You listen to us, you just queue them all in order.
23:33
Yeah, just don't listen to the latest My wife is going to kill
23:35
me one because it just argued about the sky being blue for an
23:40
hour and a half. I don't even know what the topic
23:44
was and I don't want to even. It was something about driving a
23:48
motorbike. It was.
23:50
Oh, it went on and on. I love those guys.
23:54
But you don't need 20 minutes talking about whether you turn
23:56
left to turn. On I used the, I used the Apple
24:01
Podcasts transcripting and I just scrolled through the
24:03
transcript until it got to the point where they weren't talking
24:06
about it anymore and I pressed on it and it skips.
24:10
It's a genius thing. It's also great for skipping ads
24:12
in shows because usually they don't transcribe the ads, so
24:17
then you can just skip to the next bit where there's actually
24:20
text and it skips the ad. So.
24:23
Put it on the on the YouTube, on the big TV whilst I was tidying
24:27
and doing stuff. I got it all.
24:31
Yeah, if it's there in the background, you know, but you
24:33
know, I was kind of driving or whatever, or no, no, I was
24:35
driving. I was doing something kind of
24:40
where I needed to to be entertained.
24:43
And yeah, that wasn't happening, right.
24:49
Oh, yeah. Mel, maybe we can bring this up
24:52
for next time, but your custom swig for the Summer of Cosmos.
24:56
Oh, yes, yeah, Yeah. I want to add it to the slides
24:59
next week. And you can read out the bio
25:02
that you've done about that. Yeah.
25:04
Will do, yeah. It's a great figure, that limo
25:06
really good. Absolutely I was.
25:08
I was Jeffed with the way turned out I was determined to get him
25:10
done in a couple of weeks rather than like most of my customs.
25:14
Yeah, you were. You were pretty much start to
25:17
finish very quickly. So I was I was quite impressed
25:23
and very good as well, you know. And so that's a cosmic swig for
25:28
that Mal is going to bring to legions con.
25:30
I'm believed to be part of the WAS 1000 swigs or something.
25:33
That's it. Yeah, that's going to be idea.
25:36
Is that the hope I'm guessing is that people will take their
25:42
their version of SWIG along to Legions Con and they can maybe
25:46
be a photograph of 1000 Swigs. So excellent.
25:52
I think everyone should get involved in that.
25:54
It's a fun. It's one of those things that
25:56
sort of reminds you how wholesome the the Cabal can be
26:00
isn't. It really.
26:00
Oh. Crap.
26:02
If I follow through on my idea for what I want to do my swig,
26:04
that might scupper the wholesome element.
26:07
You know, it's mine's. Mine's a work.
26:09
If I can make it work, it's a, well, dodgy swig.
26:14
I mean, the idea doesn't mean the swig has to be whole, yeah.
26:17
I'm going to do, I'm going to do one as well, but I haven't been
26:20
inspired yet, so I'll have to see when the inspiration hits.
26:26
Hopefully it'll go quite quickly then, right?
26:30
Shall we move on over to the main event?
26:48
There you go, the summer of Cosmerian.
26:53
This was exciting to see. Mal huh?
26:55
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes. This is this is, you know, I'm a
26:59
bit, as you know, I'm a big fan of cosmic legions and, and
27:03
what's coming out for them. And yeah, anytime you get a
27:07
chance to indulge in in cosmics, whether it's the sale or
27:14
something else, we'll talk about in a bit then.
27:17
Can't complain. Yeah.
27:19
So to kick off this summer of Cosmereum and they're going to
27:23
have a 20% off in stock sale from all participating
27:27
retailers. So look up the retailers that
27:31
you normally use for legions if you're interested and see if
27:35
they have the cosmic legions. The first three waves, 20% off
27:41
should be on the pricing and obviously some of those
27:44
retailers will have the odd one that might be sold out.
27:47
And so you might have to shop around if you're after
27:50
particular ones like maybe Slog, for example, I know he was sold
27:53
out at a good few places and yeah, and maybe shop around then
27:58
to retailers that you don't normally use if your normal 1
28:01
isn't offering the sale. So and yeah, it's beginning.
28:08
It was beginning already the start of this week, so Monday
28:11
and and it's to celebrate one year ago that the first cosmic
28:15
wave began to ship. So that's June 27th uh, so it's
28:21
time to celebrate and introduce new fans to the line.
28:26
So there you go umm, this is fun.
28:28
Umm, definitely looking to pick up a couple of reinforcements to
28:34
the to the umm cosmic selection. Definitely the Tusk pilot.
28:41
I think that was one that I was thinking of getting anyway, so
28:47
definitely think I'm going to go for him.
28:49
I see Walter is on here. Do retailers have Walter?
28:55
And I can't believe. Only, I think only if they
28:58
bought it themselves at the OK. Yeah.
29:01
Full price, whatever sort of thing so.
29:04
Right. Umm, yeah, Novioline.
29:05
Is he still available? That's good.
29:07
I saw some great deals on Vorga. I saw I grew up Vorga for €39
29:11
at, uh, figure and lager. So, uh, no, she might be gone
29:15
now, but had her in my, uh, basket, uh, along with a couple
29:20
of pilots, uh, so I must get back to that.
29:24
I just wanted to see what was going on this week and, uh, we
29:28
have some other news that might, uh, take precedence over that,
29:32
but yeah. So that's the sale, you boys.
29:34
What are you thinking for this? I'm going to have to wait till
29:37
the end of the month and see if how long you know, it's
29:42
basically next sort of credit card cycle at this point already
29:46
and see see what's still left. But I want to I definitely want
29:51
to fuse Vexians and operative 86 or 83.
29:57
I forget which one is. 83. 83 I'd like another couple of him.
30:03
Yeah, I want to get a couple of him and a couple more pilots,
30:08
but yeah, the UK distributor is not doing the 20% off.
30:11
Apparently she's a pain so mine maybe she's picking some up
30:15
Legions come to be honest. Yeah.
30:18
Or hit me up if you want to send some of your money Europe's way
30:23
and I can get them over to you via so that could be an idea.
30:28
Yeah, this makes in mine worker is another one, I think an
30:31
operative 83. Yeah, as he said, they would be
30:35
the ones I'm looking at. I did.
30:37
I think I got enough from wave one and wave 2 so far So it
30:39
would be the the Axios wave I. Want to get another?
30:43
I want to get in the Scourge as well.
30:44
Sorry, John, I thought you'd say.
30:46
Oh. Yeah, I've got an idea for
30:48
custom for that. So I want to get another
30:49
scourge. OK, what's the idea?
30:52
Or do you want to keep cards close to your chest?
30:54
No, no, it's I'm doing some Batman homage characters.
30:59
OK, so I don't. Want to basically kill a Killer
31:02
croc? Killer Croc.
31:03
Nice. Yeah, that looks.
31:05
So I want to base it on a scourge.
31:07
Yeah, is. There an ogre croc head that's
31:10
big enough? There is.
31:14
Oh, I haven't said that. Yes, I'll make that work.
31:19
OK, Paul, Paul's Paul Gerardo. Paul's Customs used to do one,
31:22
but I think his shot might have come down now.
31:25
But one of the recent sets that was released had a croc head and
31:28
some people selling that ogre scale so I can use that.
31:31
Oh, that's the Jason Rodriguez. Yeah.
31:34
Yeah, I think there was. Yeah.
31:35
Doesn't Sebi have a crocodile over?
31:38
No, that's good. That's another good shout,
31:40
actually, John. Yeah, have a look, have a look.
31:45
I used to be the expert at this and now all of a sudden you're
31:47
telling me about to look, I need to get back my mojo back.
31:50
And they sit there and just study 3D websites for a bit.
31:53
You can tell I'm buying less at the moment as I know they're
31:55
dead to me. I'm just.
32:00
Yeah. So yeah, that is tricky.
32:03
I need to definitely keep an eye on what Planetary Dog are doing
32:08
with their sex because there's some that I want to pick up
32:11
before they retire. But and as as I don't have the,
32:16
you know, I have so much to paint that I don't, I don't have
32:19
the urgency to get them. So I don't, but I don't want to
32:22
miss them when they do. Yeah, that reminds me.
32:25
I said not check what they're getting rid of this month.
32:29
All the breads go in this month if you want.
32:30
Bread. The bread.
32:31
Yeah, Trevor, get your bread. I've just realized I've been
32:37
spelling Cosmerean wrong. Oh sorry, just there's 2R S I'd
32:42
missed that completely. Yeah, I think.
32:44
Reading. Some bio with two M's.
32:46
At one stage I was spelling it, which wasn't good.
32:49
I think I spelled it with one M in my bio.
32:51
Thing I wrote didn't. I this is all the tusks that we
32:56
have currently. So that's a pretty cool
33:00
selection, huh? That is good.
33:03
Yellow is probably what we're missing as a color somebody
33:05
mentioned. I'd like to debate this.
33:11
Oh, one of them's not. I don't.
33:12
Remember Wolter being Tusk? I think he was just, but he's in
33:17
Tusk armor. I agree with that, yeah.
33:19
Oh, and you know who is Tusk? Who's not in this scourge?
33:23
Yeah, there you go. But yeah, so I think it was more
33:27
that the armor, yeah, it's. More the armor then yeah build
33:31
out although. But they're naturally the guy.
33:34
The guy the red Magnus is not. He's not wearing.
33:38
He's wearing. But I just thought this was
33:41
really cool. But he's a very cool, yes,
33:44
Sorry, not it was. He's a very cool.
33:46
Picture right? And then we got an awesome
33:51
reveal today of the Tusk Heavy gunner without bio, though I was
33:59
disappointed for you, man without bio so far, so far, so
34:04
far. Now Jeremy will talk more about
34:06
it on his episode this week, but uh, we do have a good bit of
34:10
information so far. Uh, so the Tusk heavy gunner
34:14
and, uh, he's an early release at Ishkhan 2024.
34:20
So that Ishkhan 2024 we'll get on to in a SEC, uh, with the
34:25
details on that, but that is in Aug, uh, start of August and uh,
34:31
then offered for sale in uhstorehorseman.com.
34:34
So it's an early release, which means that it's not an
34:37
exclusive. There won't be exclusive pieces
34:40
that uh, uh, you won't get on the store version.
34:43
It's just an early release, a bit like how the MO 2 ones used
34:47
to go down. But this is a bit different in
34:50
that, umm, it is just a standalone release.
34:53
It's not part of a wave or anything.
34:56
Umm, and it's a $37 figure that's just going to be
35:00
available directly from them. Won't go to retailers.
35:06
Do you think that because they normally do 2 Powercon
35:11
exclusives they might do another?
35:13
We might get another reveal of another figure between now and
35:18
Ishcon. I don't think so, no.
35:20
No, You think there's? Only no, he said.
35:22
It was just the one. How did they?
35:24
Yeah, somebody asked him and he said it's just the one.
35:27
So yeah, 440 bucks at Ishcon. So the usual it's going to be a
35:31
couple of dollars more than what you would get it on the website
35:34
and 37 from store horsemen. He won't appear at retailers
35:39
unless the retailers buy stock like through the sale like we
35:43
do. And then you know, it'll
35:45
probably be even more expensive there.
35:47
So it will. Be that dodgy German site gets
35:52
€300. Yeah, and parting them out.
35:56
Yeah, parting out. Here's his helmet piece for 45.
36:01
Spectral heavy gunner. It's with the leftover.
36:06
So here's a he's a green and kind of dark orange color with
36:16
some with some yellow on the belt, a bit like the Novine lean
36:21
kind of colors on the belt, yellow and grey and.
36:27
I couldn't decide is it is it dark orange or is it actually
36:31
copper that just isn't? It's not metallic anyways for.
36:36
Us. No, it's not.
36:37
It's OK. No.
36:38
If I knew the better photos and we could tell properly.
36:42
You see there it's it's just kidding.
36:44
Just kidding. It's from there.
36:47
So he comes with that big heavy gun that you got with Vorga,
36:52
that piece, and he comes with the normal helmet that you got
37:00
with the Sentry, but with that Sligor little clip on piece.
37:05
And it's not a clear piece on this one.
37:07
It's actually painted, which really changes the look.
37:14
And it comes with the Sligor kind of over the torso armor as
37:19
well. And it comes with four pairs of
37:22
hands. So you get all the options there
37:25
and the pauldrons, the cosmic pauldrons, the ones we've got
37:29
before, again painted up, all painted up in this green and
37:35
orangey copper color scheme. A couple of holes is there as
37:39
well, a small blaster and that little attachment for the arms
37:44
that comes with the Umbira. Jim, Jim Jambalaya.
37:51
So what are we thinking about? What's the verdict here?
37:54
I I think he looks really cool, Really cool.
37:56
I really like the colours. Yeah, it's.
38:00
The Ireland flag. I love it.
38:02
Yeah, I. Must admit that was one of the
38:04
first things I thought I want to saw it.
38:08
But yeah, I think he's a really cool looking figure.
38:11
Look at that photo from Trevor. The cool idea, the environment
38:14
shot photos really nice and rich you fan.
38:21
Yeah, I like it. I like the colours.
38:23
It helps people towards getting their their colonial marine type
38:27
characters with these always coppery rather than brown.
38:30
It's it helps people along the way to that.
38:34
Yeah. And it's a heavy gun.
38:35
Who doesn't like a somebody with a massive gun?
38:38
That's that's always a great. Thing of it, isn't it?
38:40
Yeah. If you have if you have sly gore
38:42
and you have Vorga with the gun, you can kind of make this figure
38:46
the yourself with the parts at least.
38:49
But great to have them all painted up here.
38:52
And I love this color scheme. This is one of my favorite
38:55
cosmic reveals. I think so.
38:57
I always say, isn't it, it's always better to get the factory
39:00
paint? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what
39:03
you want with it. But it's just nice that you
39:05
could maybe now that heavy gunner is a thing, you can, you
39:10
can build your your kind of ranks maybe with some of those
39:13
parts, yeah. I guess it gives them another
39:16
option too, as this is sort of vaguely camouflagey type thing
39:19
that they could start putting more out.
39:21
So you know, this is a forest world heavy gunner or something.
39:24
And then they could have a different color paint scheme for
39:26
a desert planet and then a different 1 Bryce.
39:28
You know, they could do all that sort of stuff as well, which
39:30
would be very cool. Yeah, I really, I, yeah, I just
39:33
really like this figure. It really kind of, it brings a
39:38
bit more to to the kind of vibe of Cosmirium and kind of what's
39:42
going on and the different type of characters you can get.
39:45
I don't know. And the I.
39:47
Mean a few more hands would have been nice.
39:49
They skimped on those a bit but there's only what, like 4 pairs?
39:54
Like what the hell? Yeah, that just means you'll
39:56
need to get 4 figures just to use all the different hands and
40:01
then for the two different looks with the helmet and the visor
40:04
and the helmet off and the torso armor off.
40:06
So yeah, just maybe half dozen be enough.
40:10
He's totally gay. I'm totally sticking that half
40:13
helmet on him though. He looks so good, so cool.
40:15
He looks great, doesn't it? Yeah.
40:17
It does, yeah. It looks really good.
40:18
It really changes the look. It's surprising.
40:21
I thought that was a new head when they said at first.
40:25
It's like a yeah, it's like a blast shield sort of thing,
40:28
isn't it? So you can imagine it being like
40:29
a flamethrower guy or something as well.
40:32
So there's that bit of extra protection around his face.
40:34
Oh, flame trooper. Nice.
40:36
Yeah, just need to get a little flame effect, which we could
40:40
easily source from somewhere and yeah, excellent.
40:45
So, umm, very excited for all those lovely folks, uh, to do
40:51
with Ishkhan and going to Ishkhan.
40:53
So good luck on getting him early.
40:56
And the rest of us will battle it out in September and maybe
40:59
battle further allegiance Khan, if there's still some leftover.
41:02
You never know. Yeah, I was looking at the, umm,
41:05
the, the press release for this again and they were saying that
41:09
umm, there's apparently there's AVIP event because it's one day
41:12
show Ishkhan, but there's a VIP event on the evening before.
41:15
So they'll have enough people and then it'll be a first come
41:18
first scrum the following day. So we actually have the schedule
41:23
for Ishkhan here. So it's quite small and maybe
41:26
for you guys to read. So I'll read it.
41:29
And so it's Saturday August the 3rd is the con itself, but does
41:38
VIP night on Friday, August the 2nd.
41:43
So if you're not in the VIP, you're going to be feeling FOMO
41:47
to the ears for the whole night there.
41:52
And what they have. So this is the, the schedule for
41:56
Ishkhan and they have the Friday and the 2nd of August private
42:03
VIP event limited to 100 tickets. 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
42:08
First chance to pick up Cosmic Legions Tusk Heavy Gunner figure
42:12
shop the vendor tables and meet the Four Horsemen team.
42:15
So that's uh, definitely a nice one for the, uh, first people.
42:22
First 100 people that can grab those tickets.
42:24
I assume they cost a bit extra. Umm, I'm just going to assume
42:28
that I'm sure they do umm, Friday night, 9:00 PM onwards.
42:32
They have lobby, uh, room swaps and Hangouts after the doors
42:36
closed on VEP night, the fun moves to the lobby and rooms
42:39
with more sales. So room sales, I think that's a
42:43
quite a popular thing and a lot of uh, cons.
42:45
So umm should be fun. Bring your figures, sell them,
42:50
buy some more stuff. Umm, the then Saturday 3rd of
42:56
August, uh, 5:50 and the Ishkhan 2024 marketplace opens up for
43:03
Usman Studios would be set up with a massive selection of
43:05
Mythic Legions, Cosmic Legions and Figure Obscura items for
43:08
sale, including the show debut Tusk Heavy Gunner while supplies
43:13
last. Many other amazing exhibitors
43:17
will also be part of this show with some awesome items to show
43:22
and for sale. For example, I know Eric Miller
43:24
is going to be there selling, uh, customs and painted heads,
43:27
so he's somebody that people should definitely check out.
43:32
Umm, and there were, there are others.
43:33
So umm, then we have a 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM on that Saturday, the
43:41
Pop and Swap experience joined the ishcom team for two hours
43:45
and experienced the fun of popping and swapping legions to
43:48
create your own unique figure. So that sounds like a fun event.
43:52
Sounds like something for you, Rich, if you were there.
43:56
Yeah. Absolutely.
43:58
And then we have 4:00 to 5:00 PM on that Saturday the Four
44:02
Horsemen Q&A. That's a private Q&A moderated
44:08
by D Amazing and will be open to only to Ishkhan attendees.
44:14
So there you go. It should be fun for that.
44:17
Hopefully they'll record that as well so.
44:19
Like that would be good. That would be nice, yeah.
44:23
But then Saturday, 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM, which is pretty effing
44:31
late over here. But how can we do cosmic
44:34
legions? Oxcrew book two wave reveal.
44:37
So there you go. There's the confirmation that we
44:40
all suspected there was going to be a cosmic reveal at Ishkhan.
44:43
There it is, written in orange. Uh, join us as we reveal the
44:49
latest wave of cosmic legions for the world.
44:54
And you get to see it in person as part of our live studio
44:57
audience. You, the attendees.
45:00
And then from 9:30 PM onwards, it's get pissed.
45:05
So there you go. So it's going to be interesting
45:09
because I'm out for my mate's birthday before the cosmic
45:13
gravy. Also, I might not even make it
45:15
or I'll be very drunk. Well, I'm going to see if we can
45:19
do the, the listen or the watch along, uh, on discord like we
45:25
did the last time. That was a lot of fun.
45:28
So, uh, hopefully we can do that again this time.
45:31
I have to do that. I'll have to do the kind of
45:35
prep, you know, the early to bed the night before kind of stuff.
45:41
And so Ishkhan looks like it's going to be a good show.
45:45
Yeah, definitely it's. Going to be a fabulous show.
45:47
Very jealous. Looks very.
45:50
Cool. Yeah, so you got the Tusk heavy
45:54
gunner and you got the wave to reveal.
45:57
So I think this is yeah, as there's no power con this year,
46:01
I think Ishkhan has definitely taken the place and they're
46:04
doing the similar stuff. So, umm, yeah, look forward to
46:09
that. Uh, and that, in case he didn't
46:12
know, is in, uh, North Carolina, in, uh, Durham, NC.
46:19
So look it up ishkhan.net, right And then eh, we can look at the
46:29
ashes of Egg Bendor and what pricing we are looking at for
46:33
the retailers here very quickly before we round out for today.
46:37
Sound good? Sounds good to me.
46:40
Does indeed? You'll have to read the prices,
46:42
John, because I teach. No problem, no problem.
46:45
It's just a representative so and ashes of egg Bendor in the
46:50
UK you got Emporium of cool is the distributor retailer there
46:57
and they've got a probably their best deal and what you should go
47:00
for if you can if if you want them all is there all in entire
47:05
way 499 so 500 lbs is there all in and that's the one you're
47:14
going to go for rich or. It will be, yeah.
47:16
I always, always get the deal in from them because it works out
47:20
pretty much the same price as getting it from horsemen some.
47:22
So in fact, sometimes it's a little bit cheaper.
47:24
I don't know, I'd just pick up any extras, you know, from the
47:27
Legions con after or whatever. That's the general way that I do
47:30
these things now. And you can pay in instalments
47:34
with these guys, can't you? Which is amazing.
47:35
And yeah, makes such a pain a bit.
47:37
Yeah, yeah. Actually what what did you did
47:40
you order direct at all Rich? I didn't know as I'm trying not
47:45
to spend much money at the moment so.
47:47
And you know I. Held off.
47:49
Yeah, I ordered a couple of Kai Pashers and a couple of the Gob
47:52
Hollow set, 'cause I thought the Gob Hollow set, I thought it's
47:58
the cheapest you're going to get it.
47:59
So I went for them. I went for a couple of them and
48:03
the Kai Pasha, I knew I'd want more of them anyway, so that's
48:06
sort of, you know, I put in two orders that were less than 130
48:11
and then I've reordered the all in from Emporium, very good and
48:17
paid the first instalment so. Yeah, I went for director, went
48:24
to two of the Goblin Pack, two Kai Pasha, two of the Night
48:32
Builder, and then I got one Skeleton, one Shui and one
48:37
Yosef. So I didn't order, basically
48:41
didn't order as A2 or the two bigger figures, the ogre and
48:47
the, umm, Centaur boom yeah. And then, uh, quite, quite, uh,
48:56
frustratingly for you guys, uh, given this is the only UK
48:59
retailer, umm, they don't know how or they don't uh, translate
49:06
the dollar retail price into pounds.
49:11
They just do a one to one conversion.
49:14
So the standard figures like your Aza uh are £49.99, which is
49:21
what in dollars more like $60.00 or uh.
49:26
Yeah, it's about $60.00 on the current exchange rate.
49:28
Yeah. Yeah and then, uh 52 so 53 umm
49:35
pounds for the gold skeleton, the deluxe figures and and for
49:42
the Centaur it's 83 and for the umm ogre it's 75.
49:50
So yeah, that's pretty tough going not.
49:53
Really. Is it a kick in the Ghoulie
49:55
ganglies, as we'd say? And then we got the gob.
50:00
The Goblin 2 pack is 86 lbs. I mean, that's what, 40, 42 1/2
50:11
per 4250 per goblin pounds. So that's over $50 per figure.
50:21
And uh, Yosef is the again, the 53 and the Deluxe Knight is 70
50:27
lbs so. Yeah.
50:32
Yeah. So that all and that does not
50:35
add up to the 500 lbs in the all in.
50:37
That's the one where they're offering you the deal.
50:39
But that all in disappears after the pre-order window closes for
50:45
the retailers, doesn't it? No, I think they must order a
50:48
few more because it stays. OK, but it can yeah, it.
50:51
Can it can do, Yeah, yeah, they've definitely got some
50:54
sold. Yeah, they definitely got some
50:56
sold out ones on the website. So yeah.
50:57
So if you want to make sure you get in on it, uh, even if you go
51:02
for the pain installments and the pain installments doesn't
51:06
cost you more than the 500 does it?
51:08
It's it's there's no like kind of very good.
51:12
Umm, so that's that. Then if we move on to the euro
51:17
price, umm, so this is looking better in terms of direct 1 to
51:22
one with the dollar price. Umm, So we got the standard
51:27
figures like Kaipasha, uh, and Aza for €46.90.
51:33
So basically €47, which is pretty much one to one with $50.
51:40
Umm, we got the Goblin 2 pack as 84, uh, EUR.
51:47
So again, that's uh, uh, what's that two pack in uh dollars
51:52
jumping ahead here, but yeah, it's 89.
51:56
So it's yeah, it's $90.00. So yeah that's pretty good uh
52:00
the frost ogre uh is 70 and the Centaur is 84, I think hold on
52:12
you can see him right It is uh yeah 8490 so pretty sweet.
52:19
That's all from figrenjagger. Mighty Underground has the same
52:22
pricing on the standards and the uh deluxes yeah the Deluxes are
52:27
52, basically 5190 uh, so again, pretty sweet and then, uh,
52:35
Mighty Underground has an all in deal as well, which is €541.00,
52:42
which is pretty much £500. So that's where you see that.
52:47
Is even with the increased cost of shipping from Europe as
52:51
opposed from the UK, yeah, it makes more sense for us to order
52:54
from these retailers because it's like 5.
53:00
It'd be about say the euro price.
53:02
We're say about £5 less roughly, yeah.
53:07
And you know, buy multiples and the shipping won't be that much
53:11
so. Yeah.
53:13
So it is a big difference and a lot of people won't do that
53:18
though, because of, you know, the perceived hassle with
53:21
ordering from, you know, outside of the UK these days.
53:24
So, yeah, so that's euro. I think that's kind of in line
53:28
with what we see. So, you know, support those
53:30
guys. They're doing really a great job
53:33
and and they, you know, that's as good as somebody in America
53:38
is getting the figures for. So, you know, definitely an
53:42
equivalent currency. And then the dollar price, I
53:45
suppose we have the, you know, the $50 standard figures.
53:50
Worth noting. It's 55 for the Deluxes, so
53:53
that's Yosef and the gold skeleton, and then 85 for the
54:01
Centaur, 80, so 90 for the goblin 2 pack and 75 for the
54:07
frost ogre. So yeah, I think that's probably
54:10
in line. If we had to guess, that's
54:11
probably the dollar prices we would have thought about.
54:15
And so yeah, and no small parts like hands packs or weapons
54:22
packs in this one. So for example, for your UK all
54:26
in depth, they would normally not include those.
54:28
So that's you don't have to worry about that this time
54:31
around. So you're you're gone all in on
54:36
the with with the UK retailer Rich.
54:40
Yes. Umm, yeah, it's that means I'll
54:44
have another hazard despite saying no, no, my head's going,
54:49
but yes, I'll get another one that way and then pick up extras
54:52
I want as and when. And what?
54:57
So you're thinking of extras of the Centaur?
54:59
Or what would you be thinking of?
55:00
No, the centaurs are so, I mean, I love the centaurs, but they're
55:03
so big at the moment. I've got one, one extra
55:06
Apharious, and I've got a head lined up that I want to use.
55:09
I haven't bought it yet, but it takes up so much, so much shell
55:12
space even I'm thinking like, do I want an extra 1?
55:17
But I definitely want extras of Kypatia.
55:20
Probably at least one more set of the goblins as well.
55:23
They're really cool. And I want another frost ogre as
55:25
well, because I've got a couple of heads lined up for the frost
55:27
Ogre. Right.
55:31
So yeah, that's, that's expensive.
55:34
Uh. Yes, yeah, it's it's a drug.
55:37
I don't know what I can say. Yeah, I'm trying to, uh, as much
55:43
as possible stay away from the bigger figures unless I really
55:46
have, for example, a use for them apart from maybe the one I
55:50
will pick up a frost over. I think definitely the center
55:53
I'm still on the fence about and as a two I will as well, but I
55:58
just don't see the need to order her now.
56:02
Yeah, the Frost Ogre. I mean, I love the idea of Frost
56:05
Ogres, but I probably wouldn't necessarily have bothered this
56:07
time until they showed that second head like the bike and
56:11
then all of a sudden it's a Frost Giant and it's like, well,
56:13
I now need that. And then I've got another really
56:15
cool ogre head I got from my actually customs a couple of
56:19
years ago now, but I've not painted up yet.
56:21
So that will go brilliantly with that.
56:23
And there'll be two like frost giant Viking type characters.
56:26
So it's cool, grand. And do we think that we're going
56:34
to get anything else before Ishkhan announced or any
56:40
guesses? I don't think so because the
56:45
there's just the timing in terms of when it would go up fraud or
56:49
when they'd release it, when, you know, when they'd ship it.
56:52
Because of course the pre-order for Oxcrew will open the the
56:59
night of the third or the day of the 4th as it'll actually be for
57:03
us, won't it? But yeah, so I that doesn't
57:07
leave much time for them to do much else in.
57:09
I might be wrong. They've done they've done more
57:12
in in less time. Yeah, normally I I'd agree with
57:15
you Mal, but they put so much stuff out this year I wouldn't
57:17
be at all. Supposedly another figure,
57:20
obscure or something else all of a sudden popped up.
57:23
Well, it's somewhere because Miriam now.
57:25
So we have to think it's cosmic, possibly before, eh?
57:30
They don't, yeah, they don't announce that they grew obscures
57:33
at all. They do the day before, so they
57:35
could say somewhere because Miriam and then check a figure
57:38
obscure in there anyway. Think figure Obscure is going to
57:40
be in that little gap before an agent's gone.
57:43
Yeah. That's my guess.
57:44
We. It's not that long since the
57:46
last one really, is it? My wallet would appreciate that
57:50
more. But we want cool stuff, you
57:54
know? Did your did your savage crystal
57:57
lizards manage to stand up or? I've still I've only unboxed the
58:03
one because life's been hectic. That one is very.
58:08
Nice rare about those. Well I I was more excited when I
58:15
pre-ordered them. Let's put it out OK?
58:17
They are good figures. They don't go as well with
58:20
mythic mythics as I was hoping, aesthetics wise.
58:25
Have I said that was Jason Rodriguez released that lizard
58:28
set, didn't he? So that's available in savage
58:31
crucial sizes as well. So that might help with that.
58:34
But the, the I've actually opened two, Sorry, I was lying.
58:36
It's not just the one. The two I've opened, one stands
58:39
up fine and one throws itself in the fall like an Italian
58:42
footballer. They've been tackled.
58:44
They're out with the EUR now so no need to worry about that.
58:49
I think it's any footballer these days, it's part of the
58:51
tactics. This is true, yeah.
58:54
Right, well, do you have anything more you want to talk
58:57
about or anything you want to get off your chest?
59:01
Umm, I'm excited and already looking forward to our
59:03
predictions episode for Ox Crew. That's all I have.
59:06
Oh yes. Get working on that.
59:08
Yeah, yeah, we have this month we'll also have Matt Drake on to
59:13
talk about toilettics. So basically he's going to be
59:17
talking about the kind of secondary market prices for all
59:23
the different figures. And it would be especially
59:25
interesting to see how the mystery box sales and the
59:28
Version 2 announcements have affected maybe some of the
59:31
pricing. So it'll be fun to have Matt on
59:34
during this month. It'll be a little bit later this
59:36
month, but before it's kind of. High brow we get it's.
59:43
Shots and spreadsheets. It's it's Christmas.
59:46
You've seen I thought you said shots.
59:50
If you've seen the episode, the listener chats episode, the
59:53
first one where we where I had to chat with Matt and he's a
59:58
very articulated, articulate person.
1:00:01
He's probably articulated as well.
1:00:04
And yeah, he. Double double knee joints
1:00:07
though, otherwise we know it's a bit of an issue, isn't it?
1:00:09
I'm talking about how articulate the company is and they managed
1:00:12
to butcher it. So just shows you how articulate
1:00:14
I am. But yeah, so and he's the
1:00:18
university professor, so he's well able to talk.
1:00:22
So we might just be able to sit back and enjoy Matt's filling us
1:00:27
in and all the stuff there. Rich, you're the stats nerd, so
1:00:31
you you've got to line up the questions for Matt for that one.
1:00:34
Oh yeah, don't worry. Yeah, and I'll be.
1:00:36
I'll produce a couple of embarrassing charts myself just
1:00:38
to share a bored look. I love it.
1:00:41
I love it, I love it. This is my child.
1:00:43
It shows my child's bigger than your child.
1:00:51
I see. Right.
1:00:51
Well, shall we go then? Shall we let the people have
1:00:54
their time back? Yeah.
1:00:57
It sounds like I'm at work. Let you have your time back.
1:01:03
Yeah, I just, I threw that in there.
1:01:04
Also, patrons, look at this. Oh, what was that?
1:01:07
What was that? What?
1:01:10
Was that now? Still need to get on to.
1:01:11
Yeah, your finger out loud. We need a cosmic partner.
1:01:15
Good luck guys, stay safe. Out there, everybody.
