• 0:02
  My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
• 0:04
  I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 0:08
  It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so he's got a
• 0:11
  fake hammer. Oh.
• 0:13
  A. Fake.
• 0:14
  Yeah. Whoa.
• 0:15
  As I say, Dick. Welcome to episode 160 of the
• 0:20
  Allegiance Podcast. And this week we are joined by L
• 0:25
  Tidy himself. It's the retired, so he might be
• 0:28
  joining us occasionally, more often.
• 0:31
  Brett Stoddart, How are you doing, Brett?
• 0:34
  Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm doing very well.
• 0:36
  Thank you. Pleasure to you.
• 0:39
  You're happily in the middle of the day there.
• 0:41
  We normally record on on an evening time here in Europe, so
• 0:44
  it's. Mid afternoon good good spring
• 0:47
  day I I peeked out the window. The sun's out the the the birds
• 0:51
  are chirping. Figures got delivered, so it's a
• 0:55
  good day. You got your in stocks off.
• 0:57
  Oh yeah, we, we'll get to that in a SEC.
• 0:59
  And you got the windows blacked out and everything to give us
• 1:01
  the kind of, you know, to to kind of sympathetically be
• 1:03
  evening time for us. But we're in the future.
• 1:06
  Don't forget that. Hey, does the king make it home
• 1:10
  safe? That's another podcast
• 1:13
  different. He's off to the Bahamas next for
• 1:16
  a bit of a sunshine break, so. He'll need to.
• 1:19
  Wait for a while. Lucky him.
• 1:21
  You guys want to trade king for king?
• 1:26
  You know what? No.
• 1:28
  Still another podcast. And Rich and Mal, are we all
• 1:33
  happy? Yeah.
• 1:35
  No work, so I'm not happy at all.
• 1:40
  But other than that, yeah, it's all good.
• 1:41
  We've got a three day weekend coming up so that'll help.
• 1:43
  But you got a new laptop rich so.
• 1:45
  I do have a new work laptop, yes.
• 1:47
  So your your picture is slightly slightly better.
• 1:51
  Yeah, quality. The laptop, I got it last
• 1:53
  Thursday afternoon and then it broke on the Friday, so.
• 1:57
  That was a good start. So it's all you.
• 2:00
  It's it was like, Oh no, not him.
• 2:02
  It was working generally, but the touch screen is gone.
• 2:04
  It just wasn't having it, having worked the first day.
• 2:06
  It's like, for Christ sakes. So I took it to our IT
• 2:09
  department, who one's in our office sort of thing on.
• 2:13
  Is it Wednesday? Yeah, yesterday, Wednesday.
• 2:16
  And I said, well, you know, touchscreen.
• 2:18
  So the guy spent half an hour, bless him, like rebooting the
• 2:20
  laptop, putting all sorts of programmes on and this sort of
• 2:22
  stuff couldn't do anything. He's like, no, he said I can't,
• 2:25
  I just can't fix it. He's like, do you want to carry
• 2:28
  on with this without touchscreen?
• 2:29
  I was like, no. So he's like, OK, we'll build
• 2:32
  you a new laptop. It will take 20 minutes or so.
• 2:34
  We've got some here. Yeah, come back in 20 minutes.
• 2:36
  So I get back to him into it. So I'm like, miss, I'm
• 2:38
  cancelling meetings. I'm running down the office
• 2:40
  going, can't make the meeting at our computer and all this sort
• 2:44
  of stuff. So 20 minutes later I get back,
• 2:47
  get back to the IT guy and he's like, he goes, he just log into
• 2:49
  the new laptop. It'll download all your stuff
• 2:51
  and be great. He's like, could you sign the
• 2:53
  old? Could you just log on to the old
• 2:55
  one too? So I just want to try one more
• 2:56
  quick thing. Did that and it worked.
• 2:57
  Didn't. It.
• 3:00
  So I've now got the that one back so.
• 3:03
  OK. They were determined to give you
• 3:05
  that one. Yeah, yeah.
• 3:06
  And then I get back to my get back to my desk and turn it on
• 3:09
  and start using it properly again to a message from our main
• 3:12
  security people going this package was trying to be
• 3:15
  downloaded on your laptop. Can you tell us what's going on,
• 3:17
  please? And I was like, speak to your IS
• 3:19
  colleagues because they're the ones that had it at that point.
• 3:23
  I thought we're going to talk about a FedEx package at the at
• 3:25
  the reception of the something. No, no, no, no such luck.
• 3:30
  Yeah. So that, that, that debacled
• 3:32
  basically some last couple of weeks work wise.
• 3:34
  Yeah, well, good. Amount of things calm down for
• 3:37
  you because you were you were a very tired boy the last couple
• 3:40
  episodes. Yeah, Well, yeah, I mean, I was,
• 3:42
  Yeah, I was. I've been not too well, was I?
• 3:45
  Or was that before the last episode?
• 3:47
  But then I've I've, I've, I've improved work still busy, but I
• 3:53
  took an extra day off. So my three day weekend is a
• 3:56
  four day weekend. I don't have to work tomorrow.
• 3:58
  And it's, Oh yeah, we all have a nice.
• 4:00
  Day we've had, yeah. We all have long weekends on
• 4:03
  here over in Europe, so tomorrow is our bank holiday and Monday's
• 4:07
  UK, so look at that. Getting lazy.
• 4:09
  There's three bank holidays here in May.
• 4:11
  It's lazy month. We got 2 here.
• 4:15
  We got Europe Day on the 9th and we got the religious one
• 4:18
  Ascension, whenever that falls. We have 1 Memorial Day.
• 4:23
  That's right, 25th or something, isn't it?
• 4:25
  Something like that. I just remember it's the fourth
• 4:27
  Monday. Very good I just because this
• 4:31
  goes out on Friday and Friday is the 1st and I just turned my
• 4:36
  Trevor calendar so that's why I saw the Memorial Day.
• 4:38
  He has the the US holidays right now so we're cosmic legions this
• 4:42
  month in the Trevor calendar. I won't spoil it any further for
• 4:46
  anyone that's excited to turn over, but yeah, always love a
• 4:51
  Trevor Cosmic Legions photos. They're always good.
• 4:53
  Well, they're all good, as you'd see tonight.
• 4:56
  And boys, you're not too upset about, you know, all these
• 5:00
  exclusives and your poor UK and collectors.
• 5:03
  You know you're not crying. I didn't see you on that thread
• 5:07
  on the UK group, for they're all crying about it, no.
• 5:11
  I thought best we can all that now if at the end of the day, if
• 5:13
  somebody wants this stuff, they can get hold of it.
• 5:15
  They can spend the money and fly over to America and pay for a
• 5:18
  hotel and have an amazing time and get it there.
• 5:21
  Or just pay a bit more and get it, you know, online somewhere
• 5:23
  afterwards or. Even longer and get the standard
• 5:26
  version for even yeah. Exactly.
• 5:29
  But. That's not good.
• 5:30
  That's not good enough. I still want to in the in the
• 5:32
  retailer in my local retailer. Yes, somebody said in one of the
• 5:39
  comments. It was just like, oh seriously?
• 5:40
  I mean, OK, sure, ideal word. But then it's not yeah, and it's
• 5:44
  not then it's not a thing really, is it?
• 5:47
  Then it's just a regular release.
• 5:48
  So, you know, and and maybe that's what they want, but I
• 5:54
  mean, this is what pays for cons, pays for the hype, pays
• 5:59
  for people's salaries. You know, it's this is how it's
• 6:02
  done. If they just dumped everything
• 6:04
  to a pre-order, people would eventually just take it for
• 6:07
  granted and kind of move on. Never go to a show.
• 6:10
  Yeah, and there's, you know, every chance that we'll get onto
• 6:14
  this more later, but there's every chance Merlin could be
• 6:16
  deluxe figure prices, so people might want to wait till the
• 6:20
  standard release. And and this this other crazy
• 6:23
  point of oh, this is Auk story. So why isn't it available in the
• 6:27
  UK? Like, sorry guys, get Auk
• 6:30
  company to do it for you then. This isn't very company.
• 6:33
  They're doing it in America. They're very nice to post them
• 6:35
  to the UK when they do the standard version and they
• 6:39
  welcome any and all UK people to come to their convention to buy
• 6:43
  them. So, you know, I don't think
• 6:45
  they're excluding the UK. You just think they're Yeah,
• 6:50
  we're good with that. OK.
• 6:51
  We, you know, people who haven't seen the reveals don't even know
• 6:54
  what we're talking. About everyone will have seen
• 6:58
  them by natural on the Friday. That's right when it's the
• 7:01
  Charles and Diana set. Oh, I thought it was.
• 7:07
  Rumpled car. I thought it was.
• 7:09
  I thought it was the Torvill and Dean Memorial ice skating set.
• 7:13
  No, next year. Because you know this Britannia
• 7:16
  collection we're going to get? In stock sale, how did we get on
• 7:21
  and maybe mildly start with you? I got my own.
• 7:26
  Success. You got an all in.
• 7:27
  Wow I got carjacked for an all in but I still got what I wanted
• 7:32
  but. Well, and then I got, I went
• 7:35
  back in a bit later to get a scapula and of Algard because it
• 7:43
  dawned on me I could do a reverse Stoddard and use the
• 7:47
  bits of scapula that I want that aren't bones.
• 7:53
  Scaphoid, you mean? Yeah.
• 7:54
  Scaphoid. Sorry.
• 7:55
  Yeah, scaphoid. Yeah.
• 7:57
  Don't be telling me there's a scapular up there.
• 7:59
  People will be losing their mind.
• 8:02
  And Rich. Yeah, I got my all in and two
• 8:06
  replicas. Wow.
• 8:07
  And a Savalgard and I was out by like 2 minutes past the hour
• 8:12
  sort of things. Where is this fast Internet that
• 8:14
  you use that you don't use in the podcast?
• 8:20
  In the car park. The word the word car park.
• 8:26
  Tap into the work Wi-Fi was fast.
• 8:28
  Yes, so the work can do the thing in the in the all in are
• 8:33
  heading to people on this podcast in exchange for some
• 8:36
  some white boys. That sounds like a racist thing.
• 8:38
  I don't mean like white orcs, some vampires, vampires.
• 8:43
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So once, once I knew I was going
• 8:48
  to swap with these gents, I might as well just get an all in
• 8:51
  because I wanted a couple of them anyway.
• 8:52
  Myself. Yeah.
• 8:53
  And then I this about I need to know this about I got 4 Saval
• 8:57
  guards at legions con but then it suddenly dawned me I wanted
• 9:00
  to turn all of those into the human sized character.
• 9:02
  So I needed a Saval guard to actually have a Saval guard.
• 9:07
  Very good. And Brett, you, you had little
• 9:13
  campaign you were trying to get buddies to help you to get
• 9:16
  certain parts to the green, the green basically.
• 9:20
  The dark flesh. It's the it's the black boots
• 9:23
  really, John, it's it's it's the black matte boots and the black
• 9:26
  scuffed boots that that that I was really looking to get.
• 9:30
  And you know, the campaign started before we knew that they
• 9:33
  were going to pull this reorder pre-order on us.
• 9:36
  But yeah, it I I was in and out with my all in in under a
• 9:41
  minute. Went and got Anthony Houseal A
• 9:44
  toff all in. He was busy.
• 9:47
  He couldn't make the sale. So I did that and then, you
• 9:51
  know, about 15 minutes of sitting there looking, I'm like,
• 9:57
  those maxillas are looking mighty tempting.
• 10:01
  Why are they doing this to me? You.
• 10:05
  You you regularly go to shows there which I assume the odd
• 10:08
  time maxillas would be on the table.
• 10:11
  And well, it's Raiders now, but yeah, Maxis haven't been on for
• 10:15
  for a couple of shows. So I ended up throwing a
• 10:20
  handful, couple handfuls of those in a cart and four
• 10:23
  mysteries, 8 mysteries. But you know what?
• 10:27
  I did it 25 bucks. Did you get Did you get your
• 10:30
  orders with the mysteries yet? Got that today.
• 10:34
  And then Monday actually, during Diego's flurry of cancelling
• 10:38
  people's extra revenant orders, I just happened to be there and
• 10:41
  I saw the revenant on there. I'm like, oh, so I ordered one
• 10:44
  revenant because I didn't order it in my other three orders.
• 10:48
  And it actually showed up yesterday with my all and then
• 10:52
  my maxi's and my mysteries showed up today.
• 10:57
  I pulled a Sir Gerard. Oh, he did not.
• 11:00
  Oh no. And then?
• 11:02
  Zende, Dubon and Zylornianguard which great for.
• 11:06
  Parts tell you what, I take that.
• 11:10
  Really. Take those 4.
• 11:11
  Yeah, yeah. No banana demon, and that's all.
• 11:14
  No swig. That's all I wanted.
• 11:15
  No swig, no banana, no Okiedos. It's all good.
• 11:20
  Some good ones. Yeah, awesome.
• 11:22
  So I'm I'm pretty happy with that.
• 11:24
  Yeah, and if if people don't know Brett by now, we know
• 11:27
  Anthony Seal has been on this podcast a good bit.
• 11:30
  He dwarfs everything. Brett skeletons everything
• 11:33
  pretty much, which is why these black boots that he's talking
• 11:38
  about will get skeleton limbs stuck into them.
• 11:41
  Yes. That's how it works.
• 11:44
  So if you ever want to, if you ever want flesh parts fodder
• 11:47
  especially, or you know, parts that aren't skeletons, you give
• 11:51
  Brett shout and you if you have some skeleton bones, he'll
• 11:54
  definitely do you a deal. Well, I got I got me top pin and
• 12:00
  mug. I didn't go the all in because I
• 12:04
  was able to get the pin in the mug and I got the figure last
• 12:07
  November. So I didn't feel like I needed a
• 12:10
  second one. I got 3 armouries, so I didn't
• 12:12
  get the the brown one or the white 1 and I got the other
• 12:18
  ones. After missing the all in, I just
• 12:21
  went back and added them. They were still there and a
• 12:26
  couple of revenants and that was me.
• 12:28
  So was happy enough with that, happy to get the revenants.
• 12:31
  Actually, I thought they would go, you know, as quick as they
• 12:34
  all in. Almost, yeah.
• 12:36
  Particularly you have to go back and get the gladiators
• 12:38
  individually. He did well to get them the
• 12:40
  revenants on that point. Yeah, I was.
• 12:41
  Surprised at how fast the revenant went, to be honest.
• 12:44
  I mean, I know it's a great figure and it's great for
• 12:46
  everything and it went at Legions Con.
• 12:48
  I just was surprised that it went that quick on that one.
• 12:54
  The the armoury I was expecting to the bloodbath that we got.
• 12:58
  I was totally expecting it. But you know, I luckily got what
• 13:03
  I wanted. Yeah.
• 13:05
  So. Yeah, my guess is, you know,
• 13:08
  they slightly undered compared to previous Legions con
• 13:14
  exclusives because if you look in the store now as store
• 13:18
  horsemen, they do have a lot of the standard versions of the
• 13:22
  previous year's these is kind of exclusive.
• 13:25
  So it is a balance because you've got a huge part of your
• 13:27
  fan base that's at the con guess exclusive version maybe gets two
• 13:30
  or three because by Sunday we're all looking at them.
• 13:33
  If they're still on the table going, you know what, I could do
• 13:36
  something with that that figure. This could be the best time to
• 13:41
  get it and then you don't get as many people buying the standard
• 13:45
  version. So I guess that you have to it's
• 13:49
  a balance and the the female one that's still in stock now.
• 13:52
  So you know, it's a tricky 1 you you you know, unless you do
• 13:58
  pre-orders, which then involves waiting government of the system
• 14:01
  on the pre-order side, you know that they have to kind of I
• 14:05
  think that's the good thing about these exclusives is
• 14:07
  generally when they drop them, they're in stock and we don't
• 14:10
  have the massive weight and then the pre-orders, the regular
• 14:13
  stuff. Yes, there's a massive weight
• 14:15
  often, but you can get as many as you want at the time.
• 14:19
  Got to say though, as those female characters and figures go
• 14:23
  there, Nymph slash Cherelle is he's an absolutely awesome
• 14:26
  figure. Just perhaps the skin colour
• 14:29
  makes it a bit more difficult to utilise in in other things.
• 14:34
  But parts wise, very cool. She's got some more belts, soft
• 14:38
  goods, all sorts of good bits, so.
• 14:41
  Oh, definitely, definitely worth having for me.
• 14:44
  That's one that I want one for my collection, but I won't
• 14:47
  probably use. You know, I wouldn't use the
• 14:50
  second one for customs, maybe one or two parts, but might be
• 14:54
  an easier way to get those parts through, you know, swapping with
• 14:57
  somebody or, you know. I I had bought a third at one of
• 15:02
  the shows I was at because I wanted a couple of the parts off
• 15:04
  of it for another custom I was making.
• 15:06
  Oh for my morning my carrots one morning would I needed some
• 15:10
  parts off of the nymph Charelle and then promptly sold the flesh
• 15:15
  bits off to somebody else. So I have one nymph 1 Charelle
• 15:19
  and parts of her hanging out on others.
• 15:22
  Yeah, and to be honest, if I was over there, Brett, I probably
• 15:27
  would be doing more stuff like that because it's a bigger
• 15:29
  market. You know, I, I think we'd
• 15:32
  struggle to find someone here to trade parts with easily.
• 15:35
  I mean, you could, but whereas you, you, the combination of
• 15:39
  going to shows and maybe, you know, you're sitting in the
• 15:41
  lobby or just it's easier to post it, you know, to someone in
• 15:47
  Michigan, it's probably a couple of bucks to to post to.
• 15:50
  Like when I got my Highlanders, I you know, I clan, clan
• 15:54
  Mcskelly is in effect, you know, so I had, I had 4-4 bits of
• 16:00
  flesh Highlanders and leftover Nevae parts.
• 16:04
  And so I put them on Discord and I sold them in in 15 minutes.
• 16:09
  You know a. Fair price.
• 16:11
  You know the the sum of the parts is not more than the whole
• 16:14
  of the figure. That's just $20.
• 16:17
  For for. Can I get into that?
• 16:20
  But so yeah. And I, I sold them off, post
• 16:23
  them two days later. Good to go.
• 16:26
  Yeah, so if you're crying into your tea, they're thinking, will
• 16:29
  I ever get a Highlander? Brett just shoved skeleton parts
• 16:32
  into all of his icon New Jersey. Oh no.
• 16:38
  Put in the work man. But it's his prerogative.
• 16:41
  He went to the convention, he queued up.
• 16:44
  You know, there is a lot of queuing people.
• 16:45
  The people don't realise that these even when we go to Legions
• 16:48
  Con I sometimes and they're going, you know what?
• 16:52
  I really can't be bothered queue.
• 16:54
  And so I'm going to just take take a a chance on it and assume
• 16:59
  that maybe at lunchtime, if there's a less of a queue and
• 17:02
  the exclusive still there. So sometimes you can go to these
• 17:05
  conventions and still miss out and.
• 17:08
  You guys can tell John's Irish, you know, British people.
• 17:11
  You, you see a queue, you just get in it.
• 17:13
  The Irish people, they run the other way.
• 17:19
  The. National British pastime is
• 17:22
  queuing. The first, the first one I was
• 17:25
  at in the the La Quinta. So it's four years ago now the
• 17:30
  for queue on the first day in that oh.
• 17:31
  I've heard horror stories about looking to, you know, my, my
• 17:36
  first was at the, at the Marriott and it was smooth.
• 17:41
  I think last year. I think that I think putting the
• 17:43
  exclusives in the community room last year was, was not the, the,
• 17:46
  the, the wisest move. But hey, you never know until
• 17:49
  you try. Yeah.
• 17:50
  Exactly, Yeah. Put them up on the 3rd floor
• 17:52
  'cause they're gonna have vendors on the 3rd floor this
• 17:54
  year. Yeah, I heard that.
• 17:56
  Drive traffic to the third floor vendors by putting the
• 17:59
  exclusives up there. Yeah, we left.
• 18:01
  I'll. Store them in my room.
• 18:03
  We left to do our podcast. We're on the fireplace or
• 18:05
  something. Right.
• 18:06
  Where our tables not blocked off of five hours during the
• 18:09
  Saturday would be great. Rich is just staring at people's
• 18:12
  butts all day. I.
• 18:14
  Mean that was a good part of it. Well, now.
• 18:19
  When they're not. Allowed.
• 18:22
  We did get a lot of people stopping though and looking at
• 18:24
  our stuff at least. Captive audience for a little
• 18:27
  while. Yeah, but maybe sometimes too
• 18:29
  captive because if it doesn't move for for 10 minutes, then
• 18:32
  you kind of get gummed up. If it's a flow, no problem.
• 18:36
  The queues, Allegiant College is huge, even when they like, you
• 18:38
  know, because we're vendors, even when we're, you know, at
• 18:42
  the vendors thing of an evening. Oh yeah, it's just a massive,
• 18:45
  it's like 45 minutes an hour just to get through that.
• 18:48
  It's not like, you know, that's any quicker.
• 18:50
  Yeah. And then you're at the end of
• 18:51
  standing behind it. Like this is not a sub story
• 18:53
  here, but you're at the end of a long day of standing behind a
• 18:56
  table and mostly standing because I made Rich stand most
• 18:59
  of the time. No chairs, Rich, no chairs.
• 19:02
  No, no, he was allowed to. He was allowed to that.
• 19:05
  Was the year before. Yeah, yeah.
• 19:07
  And then yeah, yeah, EQ 40. And then you're off to do
• 19:10
  something else, whether it's, oh, you're, you've you've
• 19:12
  arranged dinner with somebody or you're going to a show or you're
• 19:17
  helping a show. And so it's all kind of go.
• 19:20
  And then you get to midnight and you're like, where did this day
• 19:22
  go, you know? And right.
• 19:27
  Speaking of the gladiators, they decided to do a little pre-order
• 19:33
  for the gladiators because they went so quickly and because the
• 19:37
  demand is there and why leave too much money on the table and
• 19:41
  they're going to pop the gladiators up for pre-order
• 19:44
  first to May this Friday when this episode's out.
• 19:46
  So if you're interested, store horseman now should be there and
• 19:53
  you got the two new characters as well added.
• 19:56
  So we talked about the gladiators and last week it's
• 20:00
  the it's the 6th that were available are going to be
• 20:03
  available again to order. But also these two guys.
• 20:09
  So white demon and a red fury arc with.
• 20:15
  Also different parts that were originally exclusive at Legions
• 20:19
  console, you know, for us real Legions Nurse, this is the bit
• 20:23
  you know, a lot of people will be looking at the heads and go,
• 20:26
  wow, that's cool, cool, cool new paint ways on those heads and
• 20:30
  they are cool. But we're looking at those black
• 20:32
  pants and black boots, aren't we?
• 20:36
  I'm sorry looking at yeah, I'm sorry looking at all the bits
• 20:38
  that I made sure I cherry picked that intern.
• 20:43
  There is a familiarity this is exactly the the the non flesh
• 20:49
  parts that I picked my 2 pills at at at intern.
• 20:53
  I was lucky enough to get a pair or two pairs of the black pants,
• 20:57
  brown boots wanted intern and one at legions con and that's
• 21:02
  that was when when when these came out I was just over the
• 21:07
  moon excited over those. So now you'll have to dip into
• 21:14
  fewer orcs then. Yeah, I mean, this is probably
• 21:18
  the best talk they've ever done. No, it's very cool.
• 21:22
  I think the parts help me like it as much as I do.
• 21:25
  I think it is a very cool head sculpt.
• 21:27
  That little bit of a flourish of war paint.
• 21:30
  Had to touch something to the arcade as well.
• 21:33
  Yeah, I'll be getting a few of these.
• 21:35
  Bon Tav as he is because he's very cool.
• 21:37
  And others to use the parts so. It's cool, but it's also very
• 21:42
  sad because we know this guy doesn't make it.
• 21:46
  It's like, yeah, there he is. Look, look, look.
• 21:50
  Oh, and there's a skull spoiler. Yeah, he's Skull is in the RPG
• 21:54
  Heads pack. If anyone missed that little
• 21:58
  tidbit I've got, I've got a little spoiler for you, Rich.
• 22:01
  None of us make it. Speak for yourself, John.
• 22:07
  In the end, so there's a little close up of the demon as well.
• 22:12
  This is a cool head and nice to get Demon in white and those.
• 22:17
  Eyes. Yeah, exactly that.
• 22:22
  Ombre on the horns. Oh, yeah, yeah, The little, the
• 22:28
  little fade out there into black.
• 22:29
  Yeah. And you could imagine a demon
• 22:33
  kind of ending up, you know, in the cold north and just, you
• 22:36
  know, turning into a vampire somehow, or, you know.
• 22:41
  This is this is one of those where I probably wouldn't bother
• 22:44
  with the build of like the armoured trousers and boots.
• 22:49
  And but that build, that whole build is just so cool.
• 22:54
  And you know, I'll get one of him to again to keep him as he
• 22:57
  is because I just think he looks so cool.
• 23:00
  Yeah, and I've got paint custom head and torso, which will work
• 23:05
  perfectly with that. So I need to get two of these
• 23:07
  guys because I've had that head and torso for ages and I'm not.
• 23:10
  It didn't. The original build didn't quite
• 23:12
  work. So I was like, do I get rid of
• 23:13
  them? Don't.
• 23:13
  I kept them. Yeah, they were perfectly with
• 23:16
  this. And I always think white is one
• 23:19
  of the worst colours to do as a custom paint.
• 23:22
  So great when you get a factory paint in white.
• 23:29
  And so here's the alternative heads, this one on the right
• 23:32
  with the with the red flames. Remember I was telling you last
• 23:36
  week or a couple, I mean, that's a couple of weeks ago I lost one
• 23:39
  of these flames off mine. I thought, well, I'm never going
• 23:43
  to get that again. So now you can get at least at
• 23:48
  least have one of those heads intact and I can use the other
• 23:50
  one then for, you know, without the flames or whatever.
• 23:54
  And this almost like it's like the SDCC paladin kind of tribute
• 24:01
  here on the on the Mercurian. Funny thing is these two these
• 24:07
  two heads. Here are the 2 heads I picked up
• 24:09
  Allegiance. 1st 2, first two I got as well.
• 24:14
  Yeah, but no hard feelings, you know, We only did couple of
• 24:20
  grands of a trip to get them. I'm not.
• 24:25
  I'm not buying any of this stuff.
• 24:27
  Increased value or value on buying it.
• 24:30
  We're not trying, yeah. It's.
• 24:32
  Just about to stick these up on eBay for £400 but what can I do?
• 24:37
  I saw those two helmets on eBay last week for 9999, no.
• 24:42
  Oh, I really hope nobody pulled the trigger on that.
• 24:45
  I really hope so anyway. Really awesome these two
• 24:52
  figures. You know, with this, with this
• 24:55
  pre-order reorder an additional bonus.
• 24:58
  John, I think it's kind of funny 'cause when we were talking in
• 25:00
  Discord about about, you know, selling out and what are the
• 25:05
  possibilities. And it's like, oh, they'll just
• 25:07
  do the the easiest, simplest thing and just pre-order the
• 25:10
  remaining 6. And John's like, I hope they put
• 25:12
  in some new parts or do some little changes to it to make it.
• 25:15
  They did both. Yeah, exactly.
• 25:19
  Yeah, even I posted, I think a reply to their post.
• 25:23
  I mean not demandingly, but I said would be cool if you did
• 25:26
  something slightly different. I was more talking about maybe
• 25:30
  changing up the existing ones, but adding two more.
• 25:34
  Yeah, just as good, maybe and totally.
• 25:37
  I was also going damn you because I got I wanted and I was
• 25:40
  like, I don't have to pre-order. I just can't ignore leave to the
• 25:44
  side, you know, maybe if I'm flush towards the end of that
• 25:49
  pre-order and I think, OK, I could do with these and maybe
• 25:52
  order, but I don't need to now with these two new ones.
• 25:55
  I'm like thinking could do with them.
• 25:57
  Might as well complete the set, you know.
• 26:01
  And then they went really overboard in it and said, Oh
• 26:06
  yeah, I remember the heads that we announced a couple of month
• 26:09
  or two ago, you know, a little bit of a solution to the
• 26:14
  Legendary Warrior fiasco with the head releasing this in the
• 26:17
  heads pack now we got it. Yeah.
• 26:22
  That's the best. This is for an edge hound
• 26:24
  character John, nothing to do with legendary warriors.
• 26:27
  No, but. I just need a copy of the the
• 26:30
  redhead without makeup now. It comes with the little D
• 26:38
  makeup cloth in the back of the in the back of the package with
• 26:45
  the special. It's it's sealed in one, you
• 26:47
  know, like on the airlines, you get those little refresher
• 26:50
  towels. It's sealed in one of those from
• 26:52
  the factory and it comes with the really special stuff that
• 26:55
  they have over there in China for removing the paint.
• 26:57
  That isn't Chris. Did say it was makeup, not
• 26:59
  paint. Yeah, should come off then.
• 27:03
  Probably the best. Really want to upset the cabal.
• 27:05
  They should do one in every ten boxes as that without the pain.
• 27:11
  You know there'd be someone who's pissed off that they got
• 27:13
  the one without. Yeah, yeah.
• 27:14
  Everyone else is like. Do you think they sent those
• 27:21
  heads back to China for re boxing?
• 27:22
  Yeah, well that. There was there's still a bunch
• 27:26
  of the figures because they were shipping them out of China.
• 27:29
  The fun fact that I learned the first batch of these at Zolocon
• 27:35
  had a sticker over the side where the original side bio
• 27:41
  picture was the redhead. Oh wow, so.
• 27:47
  They put stickers on them. Remember how when when it came
• 27:50
  out, they're like, oh, lucky it was the blonde and it and then
• 27:56
  they had them reprinted for the for the the rest of them and the
• 27:59
  factory was pulling the heads and.
• 28:02
  OK, that makes sense probably. You've been given that job if a
• 28:06
  week before you pull heads on and they're like, yeah, we need
• 28:08
  to go off. The hourly rate's the same,
• 28:14
  Rich. You know, this is true.
• 28:16
  This is true. Yeah, that's true.
• 28:18
  Still getting paid. Probably the best tenor you'll
• 28:20
  spend in legions. Absolutely.
• 28:23
  Oh, I'm just shocked. It's 10.
• 28:25
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 28:27
  I think that is that is a little like this should be 15 judging
• 28:31
  by the other character packages. So this is this is definitely a
• 28:35
  kind of a little there you go, you know, take it if it's
• 28:40
  supposed to be with the other figures.
• 28:42
  So we're not really charging you for it.
• 28:43
  We're charging you for the other head, which is amazing.
• 28:46
  Navy repainted in cosmic kind of style and the arms and neck
• 28:53
  pegs. So yeah, we'll all be picking
• 28:58
  this up, I assume. Yeah, I'm going to.
• 29:00
  Yeah, that would be an easy at the best, I think.
• 29:02
  Got to get two of them just. Yeah, one for cosmic, one for
• 29:06
  mythic, or one of each. Now I need to get 4.
• 29:09
  Yeah. Well, could you imagine like,
• 29:13
  yeah, you could use that Neve head as some sort of a druid or
• 29:16
  Mystic in in your Zen on this flock, maybe.
• 29:19
  Yeah, she's definitely in. Put her on a Neve body or a
• 29:22
  warrior body. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:26
  Oh, wow. OK, so that's.
• 29:28
  What I'm picking up a couple of this weekend.
• 29:34
  There's always something to do, isn't there?
• 29:35
  Even when you're retired. Yeah, well, there's a con.
• 29:38
  There's a con up in there to get Saturday.
• 29:41
  Oh. That's that one, yeah.
• 29:42
  Shocked the curiosity. Yes.
• 29:45
  Yes, it's a very fun one. I get to see the the
• 29:48
  Massachusetts guys. Yeah, awesome.
• 29:52
  How long of a trip is that for you?
• 29:53
  It's. A little over 3 for me.
• 29:55
  OK, too bad to manage. You hop in the, you'll hop in
• 29:59
  the car and it's probably the same.
• 30:02
  It's probably less driving than when you do all the airport
• 30:05
  runs. Yes, yes, yeah.
• 30:09
  Those are those are more fun because I get, I get, I get to
• 30:12
  talk to people. That's true.
• 30:13
  That is your little It's like your little Carpool Karaoke
• 30:17
  Brett's. Carpool Karaoke.
• 30:21
  Hello. Well, next year, you know, let's
• 30:24
  let's bring a camera, put it on Brett's.
• 30:27
  Dashboard. Yeah, couple of wireless mics
• 30:30
  and then we go right. Oh, we could.
• 30:35
  Do that. We could do Bohemian Rhapsody
• 30:37
  and just have two people up in the back just popping the heads
• 30:39
  through it every now and again. Just make sure he doesn't crash,
• 30:44
  you know? Circumstances, the end of the
• 30:49
  world as we know it. We feel fine or I feel fine, but
• 30:54
  you know. So the first Legions con
• 30:57
  exclusives and we were thinking lots of different things, I
• 31:02
  think with with the hints that we were getting.
• 31:05
  And what did you originally think, Brett?
• 31:09
  Well. I, I, I had two schools of
• 31:11
  thought on this, John. And, and then the first one was,
• 31:14
  you know, they teased a year or two ago, Zylona and ether on
• 31:19
  too. And then not too long ago, they
• 31:24
  teased more info about the four great beasts, showing the old
• 31:28
  ones with the new ones. And and then they're then
• 31:32
  they're like, OK, well, special guest time, the 29th.
• 31:35
  We're revealing some legions con thing.
• 31:36
  Oh, by the way, Joe Vetteri's going to be on there.
• 31:39
  So I'm like, OK, well, then scratch the throne Zylon idea.
• 31:44
  Are they going to do a Vetteris 2A Gerard 2?
• 31:51
  No, they're going to do something completely different
• 31:53
  that nobody ever would have a million years thought that they
• 31:56
  were going to do. And I thank them for it, because
• 31:59
  those two figures. We're getting there, We're
• 32:01
  getting there. Mal, what were you thinking in
• 32:04
  regards to? I I never for when one minute
• 32:08
  thought that the the reference to the table was actually the
• 32:12
  exclusives, I assumed it was referring to the G.
• 32:14
  Conway. Oh no, I thought it was the G
• 32:18
  something going to be something to do with the G con wave maybe.
• 32:20
  You know, meeting the meeting that happens when the ship lands
• 32:24
  or something like that. With the shark man at last.
• 32:29
  Yeah, you know, with the shark man, because.
• 32:31
  Or or at the beginning of Einsmall, when they're all
• 32:34
  gathered around that table in the Castle of Four Sides.
• 32:38
  That's what I was. Could have been, yeah.
• 32:41
  Anything more like that than what we've got and.
• 32:45
  Never in a million years. Yeah, I was with Brett on the on
• 32:51
  the Viteri possibly Gerard 2 when I saw Joe, Joe he was going
• 32:56
  to be on Rich. We do anything different to that
• 32:59
  or? No, I was thinking me thrown as
• 33:03
  I loner was was the most likely thing and then you damn you
• 33:07
  dropped the the terrace idea in my head.
• 33:09
  And I'm thinking it was all John that put that in my head too.
• 33:14
  Because then I was like, well, they do faction with faction.
• 33:16
  Oh God. Which means everyone's going to
• 33:17
  be a noble bear character. No, like morbidly pressed for
• 33:21
  two days and then it's a no. It wasn't so.
• 33:25
  Yeah. So we got basically a new little
• 33:29
  mini line. So at least it's gone for the
• 33:32
  next. I don't know how long, but this
• 33:35
  is the plan that some of the exclusives are not all are going
• 33:38
  to be legends of Camelot and the first two figures were revealed.
• 33:44
  So this one here is King Arthur himself.
• 33:47
  I think they went in strong straight away with the these two
• 33:50
  characters. You know, no messing around.
• 33:53
  You don't want to leave us a year looking for King Arthur
• 33:55
  straight in get him and and here is the full loadout.
• 34:00
  So we get to to to how that breaks down.
• 34:03
  But I mean similar armour style to OTO.
• 34:08
  I mean with the blue, I mean it's not the same, but you know,
• 34:12
  you get you get the OTO 5 there, there he is new heads that is.
• 34:19
  Are those the same aldrums as OTO?
• 34:22
  And possibly, yeah, Yeah, I think so, yeah.
• 34:25
  Does Oto have the Valiant skirt too?
• 34:29
  No. No, no, so more.
• 34:32
  It's more the colours really. You know, for me, I mean, parts
• 34:36
  are definitely not all the same. New heads, guys.
• 34:42
  I think I was saying this on one of the last reveals or of the
• 34:51
  maybe it was during the RPG campaign that I wish there was
• 34:53
  more new heads. Well, they had a plan.
• 34:58
  Plan was to do new heads in this and I think it it makes a huge
• 35:03
  difference because they originally said they were were
• 35:06
  doing with Magnus head and a separate crown and and how many
• 35:12
  the the the 10th reuse of Magnus for King Arthur would have
• 35:16
  probably been underwhelming let's be honest.
• 35:20
  So really happy with this. Not a night guy specifically
• 35:26
  Mal, but you. Yeah, it's one of those, yeah.
• 35:30
  It's sort of bittersweet because I think it's awesome that we're
• 35:33
  getting King Arthur and the Arthurian legend.
• 35:35
  I don't know loads about it, but I know enough to, you know, for
• 35:38
  it to be something that I find very cool concept and idea.
• 35:43
  But there is that element of he is kind of just a night, but but
• 35:50
  it's one of these better nights with cloth goods and cool
• 35:54
  accessories and and that head sculpt, like you said, well,
• 35:57
  both head sculpts are very, very cool head sculpt and.
• 36:01
  A new sword, Excalibur. So they they went the extra bit
• 36:05
  to do a new sword that could have used the Heavens Brand
• 36:08
  sword, but no. And that's the sceptre from the
• 36:12
  Mouse King there as well. Which is perfect for this, isn't
• 36:18
  it? Looks really good.
• 36:20
  Rich, you're into your history, so I can assume you like this.
• 36:25
  Very happy with this. Yeah, I'd like to correct Mal as
• 36:27
  well. He's a king, damn it Mal.
• 36:28
  He's not just another knight. See that pointing thing on the
• 36:34
  head, Mal? In terms of the build.
• 36:38
  Yeah, no, I love this. If I'm honest, I would rather
• 36:41
  they've done a different colour than blue because it's two ortho
• 36:43
  like even with the crowns on it. But that would be my only tiny
• 36:47
  nitpick. Otherwise I think this is
• 36:49
  absolutely awesome. Actually, now I've got another
• 36:51
  nitpick, the sword. A fancier blade would have been
• 36:54
  good on the sword. Oh really?
• 36:56
  It's King Arthur now. They may be sticking tradition
• 36:58
  in that it's a fairly ordinary looking blade, but we look curve
• 37:02
  on it or something like that. So, you know, it's a little bit
• 37:04
  different. OK, well, they did.
• 37:07
  They did want to fit the scabbard that comes with.
• 37:09
  I think this is true and so so they were restricted in that
• 37:12
  way, but I think it's cool. It's a big kick ass sword and
• 37:16
  this is maybe this is more his, you know, fighting blade as
• 37:20
  opposed to he can have his fancy Dan one for, you know, poncing
• 37:23
  around the castle. So.
• 37:26
  They've sort of shot themselves in the foot a bit because the
• 37:28
  Heavens brand would make an awesome Excalibur.
• 37:32
  They couldn't really just do that again.
• 37:35
  But I mean I. I'm sure they can find reuse for
• 37:39
  this in mythics book and Brett, despite it not being a skeleton,
• 37:44
  you're still happy it's. One swap away.
• 37:49
  No, but for real, I'm I'm I'm going to dedicate an entire
• 37:53
  shelf to a a a Legends of Camelot sublime.
• 37:58
  I I'm I'm going to use the uncrowned head for for this one,
• 38:01
  though, I think I'm going to buy a bunch of extras because that
• 38:05
  armour under there, it's basically a valiant knight in a
• 38:10
  new shade soft goods. I can dye them black and I'll
• 38:15
  have a a some variation. The parts parts galore on him
• 38:22
  are Yeah, I, I'm signed me up for a dozen.
• 38:27
  Awesome. Yeah, I mean, and you're, you
• 38:29
  know, you love the UK and all that, so I'm sure you're into UK
• 38:32
  history a bit, you know. And you mean Brett is probably
• 38:35
  the biggest tea fan I know. So we, we often bring them tea,
• 38:40
  tea, tea supplies and we go to leaders.
• 38:42
  Can we get figures? I didn't figure favours in
• 38:45
  return. Monkey, Python And TT.
• 38:51
  Didn't. So thank you for that.
• 38:52
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, I forgot to bring.
• 38:54
  I have a box. I had a box last year for Bret
• 38:56
  and in all my panic I forgot to pack it, which means you'll get
• 39:00
  two boxes this year. We need some Berry siege on,
• 39:03
  it'll put hairs on his chest. Yeah, this Berry's tea.
• 39:05
  Yeah. Yeah, even my kids drink the
• 39:07
  Berry's tea. No, they won't.
• 39:08
  They won't accept any invitations.
• 39:12
  I'm looking forward to it. That is Jaffa Cakes.
• 39:14
  Oh yeah. Oh, it will be.
• 39:16
  There'll be a good supply of Jaffa Cakes.
• 39:17
  Can I? They have.
• 39:18
  That was awesome. I forgot who the gal was, but if
• 39:22
  you say her name she's from. It was Megan.
• 39:26
  Nope, not Meg. No, but there was another gal,
• 39:29
  Gemma. She and I sat there that morning
• 39:32
  and and I kept giving her Jaffa cakes like, like you fly across
• 39:38
  the ocean to get shoved Jaffa cakes.
• 39:39
  Yeah, well, how to make friends, you know.
• 39:41
  Yeah. I was, I was carrying them
• 39:43
  around everywhere that week, yeah.
• 39:46
  I love Oh, they're great. They're great little.
• 39:48
  I remember some football team I played for once or no, maybe
• 39:52
  it's a golf team. And yeah, they the coach
• 39:54
  recommended having a packet of Jaffa Cakes in the in the golf
• 39:57
  bag for for a little because they're.
• 40:00
  Obviously they're sugar biscuits, you know, not the
• 40:01
  best, but they're great. Little, you know, towards the
• 40:04
  end of the game, Booster boost, Yeah and they're not as they're
• 40:10
  not as quick releasing at the sugar as a regular chocolate
• 40:13
  biscuit or something. So, yeah, and have you?
• 40:16
  Seen the new? Sorry to interrupt you John, but
• 40:18
  we're talking about Jaffa Cakes now so I'm getting serious.
• 40:22
  Mal, have you seen the the new flavour on the shelves with the
• 40:24
  Jaffa Cakes now? Raspberry.
• 40:27
  Is it the cream egg one? It's not.
• 40:29
  I've not seen cream egg one. OK, no, it's hot honey.
• 40:35
  Oh yes, I've had the hot honey ones, what they like.
• 40:38
  Very nice. OK, OK, OK.
• 40:41
  I. Want some of them, if we can get
• 40:43
  some of them, Snap, snap up a couple of packs in case they,
• 40:46
  you know, they're this kind of limited time exclusive.
• 40:48
  I will do. They'll be good for November,
• 40:50
  Yeah. Yeah, because last year they did
• 40:52
  cola bottle ones and they were amazing and it's too weird at
• 40:55
  the same time. But it must be limited because I
• 40:57
  can't find those anywhere anymore.
• 40:58
  They do seem to have started doing lots of limited release
• 41:01
  ones don't they know which which is cool.
• 41:03
  But we've got to see what to see what takes off.
• 41:07
  And here is the unhelmeted head. So that isn't a separate crown.
• 41:12
  It is a head with the crown sculpted into it.
• 41:15
  And this is the unhelmeted head again.
• 41:19
  You had awesome. So this is gonna this this works
• 41:23
  amazing for King Arthur, but this also can be, you know, a
• 41:28
  knight in your mythics collection.
• 41:30
  You could. Be a great Ranger.
• 41:32
  Yeah, exactly. You could put it on a different
• 41:35
  build and maybe you can paint the hair colour differently.
• 41:39
  You know I. Can see a grey version of black
• 41:41
  version of blonde. A redhead.
• 41:44
  Yeah, exactly. And, you know, change the eye
• 41:48
  colour, maybe even. Face paint sticking on the
• 41:50
  Highland warrior body. Nice, yeah.
• 41:53
  If it matches skin tone space. Yeah, they tend with the human
• 41:58
  skin tones. They they're not always
• 42:01
  matching, You know, you think this really this might, you
• 42:05
  know, this might make sense to match, say, the Highland
• 42:07
  Warrior, but because it's a kind of exclusive from this year and,
• 42:13
  you know, but it probably won't. But it'll be, it'll be ballpark
• 42:17
  maybe. Well, the same guy painted the
• 42:19
  skin on both, so it could be. It could be.
• 42:22
  Yeah, it could be. And he did say the armour has a
• 42:26
  bluish compared to the silver knight.
• 42:31
  Yeah. So it's slightly it's a slightly
• 42:33
  different silver to to anyone's we got to for and that's Eric
• 42:36
  Miller from Mythic Enablers fame, but also works for the
• 42:41
  whole 4 Horsemen fame, which is probably even more impressive.
• 42:45
  It's definitely. More sorry enablers, but it's
• 42:47
  definitely more embarrassing. I love my neighbours but.
• 42:51
  Yeah, me too. But you know, there's there's
• 42:53
  impressive. Yeah, that leprechaun head that
• 42:55
  he gave me back painted, I still have that and I've been meaning
• 42:59
  to do build for it. But as it's going to be, you
• 43:03
  know, as I'm going to keep it, I'm not in any rush to to do
• 43:06
  that. But yeah, it's it's cooler and
• 43:10
  cooler by the day to actually have that in my connection.
• 43:13
  I've just been, you may have seen people watching it and my
• 43:15
  phone pinned to my nose because yeah, I can't see the screen on
• 43:18
  me. It's just like an egg with a
• 43:19
  phone in front of it. Or you'll see me do this.
• 43:22
  Wow. Harsh, harsh.
• 43:24
  But I just zoomed in on on this head sculpt in particular, and I
• 43:28
  don't know if it's just me, but it's got a hint of Nigel Terry
• 43:30
  to it who played Arthur in Excalibur.
• 43:33
  Oh well, you know what, it's just a hint of prepared area.
• 43:36
  There you go. There is a hint of that in the
• 43:39
  skull. Yeah, I an older version maybe.
• 43:42
  That's why I got a couple of pics from from this movie lined
• 43:46
  up because it did actually remind me that I mean, this is
• 43:51
  obviously for Horseman's version of the King Arthur, but I think
• 43:56
  there's some inspiration taken from definitely the the look at
• 44:00
  this guy. Armour is obviously different,
• 44:02
  but he's armoured, heavily armoured.
• 44:04
  And you know, people like we on would maybe say the the actual
• 44:08
  King Arthur didn't have much armour, but then.
• 44:13
  He ran around in pyjamas. Can you imagine if the Horseman
• 44:17
  released the King? Arthur is not really a knight.
• 44:21
  Yeah. Because what?
• 44:24
  Yeah. Arthur was around.
• 44:26
  Or that the myth of Arthur started in the dark ages.
• 44:29
  No full suits of armour for another few 100 years.
• 44:32
  So yeah, it's definitely a different thing.
• 44:35
  I think we all said this was the French interpretation with the
• 44:38
  yeah. Which, OK, we, we like the
• 44:41
  French, you know, mostly. Wow, you heard it here folks.
• 44:46
  Despite what he says on the show, John likes the French.
• 44:50
  We like 1 French from particularly.
• 44:53
  Thomas Billet Archer Hawk as well.
• 44:56
  Oh yes, to so we have to. Bonjour, Mazemi.
• 45:00
  Bonjour. Thomas is, he's always, we have
• 45:05
  a little football chat going with Thomas.
• 45:07
  So he's very stressed at the moment because his team Arsenal
• 45:11
  are kind of in contention for the two big trophies, but
• 45:15
  they're kind of. They're trying the best to screw
• 45:18
  it up, yeah. They're really trying.
• 45:20
  To my two teams are stuck in the middle.
• 45:24
  Yeah. So it's.
• 45:25
  Better than going down. If we're on the football, I'm
• 45:27
  just I'm just going to get annoyed now because I'm on a
• 45:29
  podcast with an Everton fan and a United fan.
• 45:31
  It's the worst. At least you've got we've got
• 45:35
  them surrounded, Rich. This is true.
• 45:37
  This is true, yeah. You can top on tails.
• 45:39
  The leagues in a state because Liverpool have been shipped for
• 45:42
  weeks now and you're behind us by only a few points and we've.
• 45:46
  We've been God awful. Yeah, we're still fair.
• 45:49
  Well, you can tell it's bad when man, you were ahead of
• 45:51
  Liverpool. Let's be honest.
• 45:57
  So anyway, we had we have an alternate build, so you get some
• 46:06
  exclusive parts. I'm just going to flick forward
• 46:08
  here. You get this shield, different
• 46:11
  sword and sheet red belt and this head which is basically the
• 46:17
  head, the helmeted head that comes with auto with a different
• 46:21
  face mask inside a new one. Scapular skull fits in there.
• 46:26
  There you go. So boom, boom, done, finished.
• 46:30
  And and this is blue. Yeah.
• 46:35
  In there on that. In the armour, yeah, yeah, you
• 46:40
  can see it a little bit on the on the inside by.
• 46:43
  Giving him a slightly blue armour doesn't.
• 46:46
  It there's enough. There's enough trolls trolling
• 46:49
  Trevor and when you see Trevor's photographs for this wave to be
• 46:54
  no, no one has any right to troll him.
• 46:58
  So this is Sir, let me get this right, Sir, Sir bed of ear.
• 47:04
  So he is basically King Arthur's right hand man in in a lot of
• 47:09
  the stories, but he only has one hand, one hand.
• 47:15
  So This is why in the in the picture here, he's kind of a
• 47:18
  fist hand driver has given him there for for holding the
• 47:21
  shield. Oh, and Trevor said what figure
• 47:23
  he used for that hand. Do you remember John?
• 47:26
  Silver Knight. OK.
• 47:28
  So it is that kind of bright to. Include the fist hands as well.
• 47:33
  Yeah, but you can kind of see how it just blends seamlessly.
• 47:36
  Yeah, yeah, it looks really good.
• 47:37
  Using a silver. Yeah, it's funny because as
• 47:41
  Jeremy was talking about that, and even though he'd sort of
• 47:45
  said he would this in the stories, he sometimes just wears
• 47:48
  A gauntlet. And I was like, they're not
• 47:50
  going to give us a little stumpy gun.
• 47:53
  That would have been so cool. Too little.
• 47:55
  Like the little neck, the next slab of meat will give me a
• 47:58
  yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 48:02
  That would be so cool. Plug it into the the glove bit
• 48:05
  of whatever. Any customizers out there and
• 48:08
  listening? We need a stump.
• 48:10
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so this this Sir Bedvir
• 48:14
  actually comes from early Welsh legends of Bedvir Bedvir bed
• 48:22
  bedrident Bedvir of the perfect sinew, is a handsome one handed
• 48:27
  warrior. Under Arthur's command.
• 48:30
  His father is given as oh, too many Welsh names.
• 48:34
  So a bunch of Welsh people and they're both members of Arthur's
• 48:38
  Court. So sorry Qui on there.
• 48:41
  I've managed to mash up the whole Welsh stuff but we have a
• 48:44
  Welshman on the podcast but he's he's too squinty to be able to
• 48:49
  read this out, no. No, I'm good, I'm good.
• 48:50
  I've got up here. It's bad with Bedridant.
• 48:54
  There you go. Yeah.
• 48:57
  So I hadn't heard of him before, although I'm, I'm a bit like
• 49:01
  you, Brett, and more in the Monty Python side of King
• 49:05
  Arthur. And I've seen, I've seen the
• 49:07
  movies obviously, but not recently enough to commit to
• 49:11
  memory. I think anything before I had
• 49:14
  children I kind of forget, especially a movie and stuff
• 49:19
  wise I need to rewatch stuff from before.
• 49:22
  Don't watch the Guy Ritchie one with my recommendation.
• 49:25
  No, I'm going to rewatch this Excalibur 1, so you can see here
• 49:30
  is a couple of more pics here. There's the kind of Knights on
• 49:34
  the horses. Yeah, and and when we get to
• 49:38
  Merlin, have another couple of pictures.
• 49:40
  So and so anyway, let's continue on here.
• 49:43
  So this is a cool build. I mean, if you get an extra,
• 49:46
  definitely the way to go with it.
• 49:49
  And as Brett says, stick a skull in the helmet and you've got
• 49:54
  someone for your own dead armies to infiltrate the Camelot court.
• 50:00
  It's very clever though, because they're guaranteed selling 2
• 50:03
  each of this allegiance gone because you need the 201 more
• 50:07
  obviously, but you know, it's a bare minimum.
• 50:09
  You need to turn them on the 2 characters, yeah.
• 50:12
  Two and then another three to scalp.
• 50:14
  There we go. It's a skeleton.
• 50:17
  Just just skeleton. I'm just saying that I'm just
• 50:20
  joking. Don't don't come out or just.
• 50:23
  Go at me bro. And the opinions of John
• 50:25
  Caulfield did not represent the Euro religion right?
• 50:28
  I'm butchering Trevor's amazing pictures here, so let's give him
• 50:31
  credit. This one King Arthur kind of
• 50:36
  castle in the background on the kind of a side of a Cliff.
• 50:40
  Incredible stuff. I mean just the lighting,
• 50:42
  everything perfect. He just has that ability to
• 50:46
  seamlessly match his scene lighting with whatever he
• 50:49
  chooses as his background. Yeah, yeah.
• 50:53
  It's, I mean, like my wife loves all this historical stuff and
• 50:56
  showed her these, these figures. And then when I got to Trevor's
• 50:59
  photos, she was, you know, and that's just someone that doesn't
• 51:02
  collect toys at all. So this is what these pictures
• 51:06
  do to to people that see them that even aren't in our
• 51:10
  community. So, yeah, amazing.
• 51:15
  And then this other one with the best one, the Detour Steph
• 51:21
  Detours boat. And these were on sale beside
• 51:26
  our booth last year. So how could we compete with
• 51:28
  that? How would a ghost of Christmas
• 51:33
  Past without all the extra arms and legs and bits be for a Lady
• 51:41
  of the Lake? Oh.
• 51:44
  I think so at least then the be A use for her.
• 51:46
  Yeah, I know. She's a great figure.
• 51:49
  I was like. Yeah.
• 51:51
  Whoa. No, no, no, no.
• 51:52
  I. Was getting it.
• 51:53
  I was going to say when I saw this photo I got excited that
• 51:58
  the exclusive part was going to be a lady of the Lake Armholt
• 52:01
  that could hold the sword. That would have been so cool.
• 52:06
  Hang on a minute. I mean, it's not, that's not the
• 52:08
  case. It's clearly in the picture.
• 52:09
  It's clearly coming. And it comes with a horse.
• 52:15
  Yeah, and this'll arrive alongside that little potion
• 52:17
  bottle that we're all still waiting on.
• 52:19
  And this lake is actually cling film.
• 52:22
  So Saran wrap in. Oh wow, America.
• 52:25
  Yeah, Trevor said that and he just the little drips coming off
• 52:28
  the sword. He did add them in Photoshop, so
• 52:31
  you know, but so well done and you have Boris in the background
• 52:38
  there. And then Jeremy put his
• 52:40
  marketing hat on and the the stream and said is still in
• 52:42
  stock on store horsemen. So I'd say he was given Trevor a
• 52:46
  little nod. If you want a horse for your Sir
• 52:49
  King Arthur, then there you go. So amazing.
• 52:57
  So this is what you can do. And I mean this line is then
• 52:59
  going to fill out over the years, probably more figures
• 53:03
  definitely for now it seems to be allegiance con first type of
• 53:06
  thing with the regular versions later.
• 53:10
  And so you can build some awesome shelves out of these
• 53:13
  figures. We also got this guy.
• 53:20
  Exactly. Now what?
• 53:22
  The mind blowing Yeah. So this is Merlin and when I,
• 53:29
  when I picked up my phone this morning and I, it's the boys are
• 53:33
  rich. Definitely he didn't want us to
• 53:35
  post any spoilers in our WhatsApp chat because he wanted
• 53:38
  to watch back the, the YouTube video.
• 53:40
  I went straight to Instagram and they only had King Arthur posted
• 53:46
  there. So I was like, oh, it's just the
• 53:47
  one figure they're announcing there must be announced.
• 53:49
  And then, you know, more figures later or a second figure later
• 53:53
  for day 2 or something. So I didn't even know what this
• 53:55
  figure until I kind of then went on to Facebook to see what
• 53:58
  people were talking about. And I seen this guy.
• 54:01
  So I was like, whoa. And I I have to say I like him
• 54:05
  even more than King Arthur, which would have been hard to
• 54:10
  say after the conversation we just had about King Arthur and
• 54:13
  how nice he is. Yeah.
• 54:17
  So. There's the kind of there.
• 54:20
  Yeah, absolutely bro. That's it.
• 54:23
  That's right there. I've got my you know
• 54:25
  complication of Basilia shirt. That was the one I one of the
• 54:28
  original legions shirts I bought and had to get my favourite
• 54:32
  faction. This is the wizard I've been
• 54:35
  after the whole time between legions or just in a figure
• 54:40
  form? Yep, my favourite build is 1.0.
• 54:44
  So you got that and they have the boots now, all the kind of
• 54:49
  cloth goods, the wraps before the hands.
• 54:53
  Perfect build. Got that I think broader bunger
• 54:56
  torso. That's now my new favourite I
• 54:58
  think. Is it?
• 54:58
  Is it? Broder or is it?
• 55:01
  Is it, Is it the dwarf? It's one of those two.
• 55:03
  They're so similar I can't tell the.
• 55:06
  Dwarf. But I've seen it now.
• 55:08
  I think you might be right, John.
• 55:10
  Yeah. Regardless, they're both amazing
• 55:12
  new torsos and I love all of these, these new torsos with
• 55:18
  with the it's just, there's so much to them now.
• 55:21
  Not that the straight bands of leather were, but yeah, it's
• 55:26
  just Eric keeps giving us so many new parts.
• 55:32
  Yeah, so new heads again as well.
• 55:35
  Love it. A wizard with hair.
• 55:37
  We finally have a wizard with hair.
• 55:40
  It's not just a myth. The funny funny thing is, as
• 55:44
  much as I love that head, I really like the look of Merlin
• 55:48
  with his like colour skull cap on, so that'll be the one I use.
• 55:55
  It's the beard black, and I have a Ming the Merciless.
• 56:02
  People were talking about Doctor Strange, maybe the Magneto
• 56:06
  tribute. You know, there's all sorts you
• 56:09
  could definitely do here, but he's going to be a wizard.
• 56:14
  I I love how the cloth limbs match.
• 56:19
  It's just a a beautiful, beautiful.
• 56:24
  I love the, I love the colour scheme.
• 56:25
  That dark blue is amazing. And then the Cape, I mean, the
• 56:28
  Cape is incredible here. There's a, there's a shot here
• 56:30
  of the back of the Cape. Just see, look at it just frames
• 56:35
  the whole figure. And we know the quality of the
• 56:37
  capes now. So, you know, yeah, too amazing.
• 56:42
  Rich, give us your your kind of thoughts on Merlin.
• 56:46
  It's weird, when I first saw him, I was underwhelmed.
• 56:50
  I'll be honest. I would just like it's another,
• 56:53
  it's another, you know, grey bearded wizard.
• 56:56
  And then they started talking about him and I got more into it
• 56:58
  and I love the skullcap look that that, you know, it just
• 57:01
  screams Excalibur the movie. So that that's great.
• 57:05
  And then they showed the other parts and I absolutely love it
• 57:07
  now. And the more I've looked at it
• 57:09
  as, as Brett said, the fact that the, the cloth and the torso
• 57:13
  that are all the same colour just gives you loads of
• 57:15
  opportunities now to do really cool customs using the same, you
• 57:19
  know, like a, you know, an army or, you know, a accord or
• 57:24
  something like that. They all wear the same uniforms.
• 57:27
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 57:29
  I saw him and thought he'd make an awesome villain for your your
• 57:33
  RPG store. You wouldn't need to pull him
• 57:36
  out. Oh, he would.
• 57:37
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 57:37
  Look who you're facing here in the.
• 57:40
  Well, that's another problem I'm facing guys.
• 57:42
  With all the figures that come out, I'm building RPG kits of
• 57:47
  figures to play RPG with. So I'm like, oh, this like I
• 57:51
  said, oh, this guy needs to be in my RPG plus one.
• 57:55
  Yeah, yeah, well, there's 2 looks for it, +2.
• 57:59
  Yeah. Yeah, as much as I love this
• 58:01
  picture, it just reminded me, actually when Jeremy and Eric
• 58:04
  were talking about it on Jeremy's show and Eric was like,
• 58:06
  imagine displaying it like that with a cloak out and everything
• 58:09
  else. I'm like, I don't have room.
• 58:10
  Shut up, Eric. Well, I think.
• 58:14
  He'll be stood there and by his side with a cloak.
• 58:16
  Background him. As you can see here there are
• 58:22
  some other parts and might be quite confusing where they go,
• 58:25
  so we can get to that. There we go, the demon, so they.
• 58:30
  Go on the figure, John. That's not confusing.
• 58:32
  It's pretty cool, but that's not how I'm going to do mine.
• 58:35
  I mean. I think the parts are cool.
• 58:38
  I do my only let's get to criticism in your first.
• 58:42
  It looks a bit weird with the half leather boot and the horse
• 58:46
  things. But on the other hand, I imagine
• 58:48
  maybe if he changes into demon, he just the the hoof comes out
• 58:54
  and just bursts the bottom of the boot, you know, But I do
• 58:59
  understand like otherwise they'd have to give you a whole lower
• 59:01
  leg and maybe that's that's going to step too far.
• 59:05
  Maybe I don't know. But cool demon look, I mean
• 59:09
  shout out to our on demon Wang himself, Jeremy.
• 59:16
  He's. That's what's behind him, John.
• 59:18
  It's not a tale. It's his demon Wang.
• 59:20
  Yeah, well, it'll, it'll be very easy for him to count them this
• 59:23
  week because he he'll just skip through the video anyway to get
• 59:25
  to the bit where the demon is on the picture.
• 59:28
  So there you go. I think it looks great.
• 59:32
  So that's the Oceania head repainted.
• 59:35
  I much prefer in this colour too.
• 59:37
  It's as much as I love this Ishani Head, it's the fact that
• 59:40
  it was green and a bit orkish for me.
• 59:42
  Now it's this colour, yeah, it's just so much better.
• 59:46
  It was too close to Wizard of the Wizard of Oz for me.
• 59:51
  Yeah, I think, yeah, I can see that.
• 59:53
  Those things scared me. More translucent, more
• 59:57
  translucent bits there, especially the ones coming out
• 59:59
  of the head now. And the wings, the wings are
• 1:00:02
  translucent like the Jersey Devil, they said.
• 1:00:04
  So that kind of style like. A cherry cough drop.
• 1:00:08
  Yeah. Yeah, you say I'm not.
• 1:00:10
  Generally I don't. I don't mind the demons, but I
• 1:00:14
  saw they sound like wow, OK, that's that.
• 1:00:18
  He looks fantastic. He's yeah, yeah.
• 1:00:21
  Yeah, my interest put right up when they did this version.
• 1:00:24
  It's like oh hello I need a few of these now.
• 1:00:27
  New staff Topper. Yeah.
• 1:00:31
  So the the thing I like about this is it's a few extra parts
• 1:00:35
  and yet this I I reckon this guy will be a couple of dollars more
• 1:00:39
  than King Arthur just because of those wings.
• 1:00:42
  But if you see the you know, the alternate version of King
• 1:00:47
  Arthur, this Sir bed of it's it's still a knight.
• 1:00:51
  It's used to take off the soft goods new head.
• 1:00:53
  This is like a different figure. Transformation.
• 1:00:56
  Isn't, and not too many parts you see there.
• 1:01:00
  It's the wings, the head and the hooves and the tail.
• 1:01:04
  Obviously you take off the Cape. Of course.
• 1:01:06
  That that's the reverse wing. Yeah.
• 1:01:09
  And. A neck.
• 1:01:11
  And hands. And look how many hands you get
• 1:01:12
  here. So you get 2 pairs of this demon
• 1:01:15
  hands and you get 3 pairs of humans hands, maybe 4 with the
• 1:01:19
  ones that are on them there. So yeah, basically hands back
• 1:01:23
  again. So absolutely fantastic.
• 1:01:26
  They're they are together looks fantastic.
• 1:01:29
  You too. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:30
  Yeah. Yeah, maybe I have to have two
• 1:01:32
  dioramas. And then you show people around
• 1:01:38
  your display room, Brett, it'll be just to the right is the dead
• 1:01:41
  versions of Here they go. 3 versions of them.
• 1:01:47
  So here's the here's Merlin from the Excalibur.
• 1:01:50
  Yeah, so. Just a.
• 1:01:52
  Just a advertise a little bit for one of our buddies.
• 1:01:56
  Alexander at Drunk Gizmo was suggesting he might try and get
• 1:02:02
  a few round tables on his table next legions.
• 1:02:05
  Oh, they'll be snapped up. They'll be fantastic.
• 1:02:08
  Yeah, yeah. I've got him working a
• 1:02:11
  Commission for me for a for a table for my dwarven Tavern
• 1:02:15
  hall. Oh nice.
• 1:02:18
  Nice. Maybe we should just Commission
• 1:02:21
  them for like, you know, whole podcast table, you know, just
• 1:02:25
  one one to one scale with with one of the fountains can in the
• 1:02:31
  middle. Right.
• 1:02:35
  So there we go. Just have to see Trevor's
• 1:02:41
  pictures for Merlin. Look at that.
• 1:02:43
  That picture blew me away. Although at first when I first
• 1:02:47
  saw that I thought that was Moses and the 10 commandments
• 1:02:49
  but. You could use his head like that
• 1:02:52
  if you want. 10 commandments for the rocks on either side of
• 1:02:57
  them. Yeah.
• 1:03:01
  Yeah, so he's got just a. You know, he's got a background
• 1:03:04
  on the screen there, I guess, and then obviously the diode
• 1:03:06
  pieces in front, but the way it's lit then perfectly to
• 1:03:10
  almost look like those bolts, the lightning are connected to
• 1:03:14
  him. So fantastic.
• 1:03:17
  And then Merlin in the forest, so kind of matching.
• 1:03:23
  I mean, this is the companion picture, I guess, to Arthur and
• 1:03:26
  the bolt, you know, it's the same sort of scene, you know,
• 1:03:31
  the same general area. Yeah, incredible stuff.
• 1:03:36
  But they put a lot of work into this launch, so I'm sure it'll
• 1:03:40
  be successful. Great for us going to Legions
• 1:03:43
  Con great for us to look forward to and talk about.
• 1:03:47
  No, for future legions cons when, when we're building up to,
• 1:03:51
  you know, we're talking after we get these in hand, you know,
• 1:03:54
  what do we want next? We'd have watched a lot of King
• 1:03:58
  Arthur movies between now and then.
• 1:04:01
  That's about to say I don't be accused of unfairly influencing
• 1:04:04
  Eric because obviously he goes to my designs.
• 1:04:05
  We've seen that legions con. But if it's if it's not
• 1:04:08
  Lancelot, I'm rioting next year. Well.
• 1:04:10
  Is there a shark man in a? Last no.
• 1:04:13
  A last no. My my immediate thought would be
• 1:04:16
  Lancelot and Guinevere, but Gawain is pretty cool as well.
• 1:04:21
  If he's going to be the Green Knight, you've.
• 1:04:23
  Ticked off the four main ones, then yeah, yeah, Except maybe
• 1:04:26
  Mordred. Yeah, it also would be.
• 1:04:29
  Very cool because you can do some bad ass on the forum.
• 1:04:32
  And a round table. Do you ever think we we get
• 1:04:35
  something like that? It might be a big piece?
• 1:04:37
  I don't think so. They'll leave that to the.
• 1:04:39
  They're going to leave the industry, Yeah, They basically
• 1:04:41
  said that last night. They're going to leave that.
• 1:04:44
  That's the community. Very good, yeah.
• 1:04:50
  So of the two, what's your favourite then Rich?
• 1:04:57
  Despite what I said earlier, it's Merlin.
• 1:04:58
  When you when they showed the demon parts, it was just like,
• 1:05:01
  yeah, that's I need that. I need lots of those.
• 1:05:05
  And Mal. Yeah, Merlin.
• 1:05:08
  He's more just he's. My what I like in in the armour
• 1:05:13
  and or lack of armour and all that.
• 1:05:14
  And they say yeah and badass. He looks like he could kick your
• 1:05:19
  ass and you know, and eat. I was going to say and eat it.
• 1:05:23
  That sounds really dodgy, but eat you as well.
• 1:05:27
  Whatever his life choices are, we don't judge.
• 1:05:31
  I don't judge. And Brett for you.
• 1:05:35
  Merlin, yeah. Merlin, yeah. 4 for four here
• 1:05:39
  then yeah, we, we now have like we've had the armoured body, you
• 1:05:46
  know, up to now we now have a kind of a fully unarmoured, you
• 1:05:50
  know, kick ass 1.0 body that doesn't involve bare limbs as
• 1:05:54
  well or any armour. So love that.
• 1:06:00
  I mean, we could have probably done it already with the parts
• 1:06:03
  that we have, you know, because we had the wrist wraps, but
• 1:06:05
  they're they're quite rare and obviously we had a lot of cloth
• 1:06:11
  parts and the and the boots now come with the armoury so.
• 1:06:14
  But yeah, yeah, I can't wait for for these guys and.
• 1:06:22
  And Jeremy was very excited about who they've got to do the
• 1:06:26
  art for it. So I'm intrigued to see what
• 1:06:29
  what comes from that. Yes, rage.
• 1:06:34
  Spoiler alert. Oh no, it was going so well.
• 1:06:41
  It was going so I just got off. From what I think I need
• 1:06:45
  anymore, we combined. We combined the best figure
• 1:06:47
  you've ever seen with the worst art you've ever seen.
• 1:06:49
  There you go. I mean a good thing for you,
• 1:06:55
  Rich. Maybe it was a GUI ONS kind of
• 1:06:57
  thing about this whole thing. He loves this.
• 1:07:00
  Obviously this is his his ballpark and not sure he'd make
• 1:07:05
  it to Legions con this year, but we look after him one way or
• 1:07:08
  another. Or. 100.
• 1:07:09
  Percent And he was saying that, you know, what he really likes
• 1:07:15
  about this as well is that it'll mean that there'll be regularly
• 1:07:20
  kind of night type characters coming even as they're in
• 1:07:24
  mythics going off in the direction of like the fish.
• 1:07:27
  You know, we got the fish guys now for for the last G con wave.
• 1:07:31
  You know, we might get other type creature characters.
• 1:07:34
  You've obviously got the wind dodgy body that they might do
• 1:07:37
  some of the characters with. It means that maybe, you know,
• 1:07:40
  they don't necessarily have to do a bunch of nights in every
• 1:07:44
  other wave in mythics. You know, they'll they'll have a
• 1:07:48
  way to keep the nights coming. I'm sure there will be nights in
• 1:07:52
  mythics. But you know, for him
• 1:07:56
  especially, he was thinking, you know, I still get my night fix
• 1:07:59
  even if they're doing shark men and all this crazy lizard guys
• 1:08:03
  mythics to keep rich happy. So I think that's a that's a
• 1:08:07
  definitely an interesting an interesting theory.
• 1:08:11
  And we have two more or I think he said two more exclusives for
• 1:08:18
  legions gone to come in a couple of months time.
• 1:08:21
  So don't expect them to be announced anytime soon.
• 1:08:23
  But I guess they're quite late, don't they?
• 1:08:27
  Yeah, it makes sense to you know, this will be the one that
• 1:08:29
  will build hype then further. And I don't know, I don't see
• 1:08:34
  cosmics being an exclusive type thing.
• 1:08:37
  So they might use cosmic parts on a totally different type of
• 1:08:41
  thing where it's, you know, I don't know, some other, I don't
• 1:08:45
  know. Is there any sci-fi property
• 1:08:46
  that's free to that's, you know, kind of public doing like this?
• 1:08:51
  I wonder if this is the year we get a Fisto tribute and you can
• 1:08:56
  use the new. Blaster.
• 1:09:00
  You can use, well, the big suits of army, you can use that
• 1:09:05
  gauntlet piece as his fist, couldn't you say?
• 1:09:07
  Yeah. Well, that would be good.
• 1:09:10
  Barbarian either give them trousers.
• 1:09:13
  For you, how do you skeleton the fisto?
• 1:09:16
  I don't know. To pick your hand.
• 1:09:20
  Oh yeah, to pick your hand and then just stick a Skullen or a
• 1:09:26
  zombie. You have to think about that,
• 1:09:27
  John. Yeah, that's why I asked.
• 1:09:30
  You know, I'd have been two hours thinking, you know, trying
• 1:09:33
  to figure it out like I was an hour here trying to find a set
• 1:09:36
  of pauldrons today for for a custom build I'm going to do
• 1:09:40
  now. I don't think I'm going to use
• 1:09:42
  them. The picture Brett centres of his
• 1:09:44
  display room, which looks amazing by the way, Brad, I'd
• 1:09:47
  imagine there's a sliding thing where the whole shelf just moves
• 1:09:50
  out of the way and there's a wall.
• 1:09:52
  You're like, why is a wall blank?
• 1:09:53
  And then you shine a black light on it and there's just all the
• 1:09:55
  plans for every character imaginable and how you turn them
• 1:09:59
  into a skeleton. There we go.
• 1:10:04
  That would. Be awesome.
• 1:10:05
  I have an idea for for a game show at Legions Con, actually,
• 1:10:08
  it's Brett and Anthony and you just throw a bunch of figures
• 1:10:11
  down in front of them and who can make the most dwarfs for
• 1:10:14
  Anthony and skeletons for Brett. And they've got like, you know,
• 1:10:16
  5 minutes or whatever, you know, and a bucket of hot water and a
• 1:10:19
  hair. There you go.
• 1:10:21
  Go. Yeah, so that's it.
• 1:10:28
  Tickets for Allegiance can go on sale this Friday as well.
• 1:10:31
  The first tickets room blocks will be open for booking in the
• 1:10:36
  hotel. So get your hotel booking in if
• 1:10:38
  if you're going, you'll want to stay at the hotel really if you
• 1:10:42
  can at all and try and bunk up with a couple of other people
• 1:10:46
  because that lessen the cost, especially, you know, because
• 1:10:49
  it's while you do get a deal for for being Allegiance con
• 1:10:54
  attendee. There is a code.
• 1:10:57
  It's still or still a couple of 100 bucks a night.
• 1:11:01
  Almost 160 or no 100. And eighty this year $50.00 for
• 1:11:06
  weekend tickets 3525 if you do single day.
• 1:11:10
  So, yeah, so if you got, you know, we, we have the three of
• 1:11:13
  us share rooms, so that divides by three the hotel cost for us,
• 1:11:18
  which makes a huge difference really, you know, and you might
• 1:11:21
  have to listen to bit snoring, but I don't know, bring sleeping
• 1:11:24
  tablets or or drink a lot. You know I don't like people, so
• 1:11:27
  I get a king to myself. Yeah, well.
• 1:11:30
  It's OK, you're boxes you got dude.
• 1:11:34
  I sleep with my hall. At least you're not poisoning
• 1:11:39
  yourself with the 3D printer frames.
• 1:11:42
  You know, like Corey's. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:11:46
  But I mean, Brett, you, you kind of I would just say you, you
• 1:11:50
  wheel and deal all year at the cons so you're able to, you
• 1:11:53
  know, then afford your, your hotel room and you're retired,
• 1:11:56
  you know, so. And I'm retired.
• 1:11:57
  Let's. Be honest, you know.
• 1:11:59
  But I don't also don't have a multi 100 LB euro cost of
• 1:12:05
  flying. Flights, yeah.
• 1:12:07
  You know. That that, which is it's getting
• 1:12:10
  smelly this year. I mean, I'm, I'm probably, you
• 1:12:13
  know, there was always a case of, you know, just wait till the
• 1:12:16
  price kind of settles on it. But now I'm thinking just pull
• 1:12:19
  the trigger on whatever it is you know if it's still.
• 1:12:22
  Do you, do you wait a week and and gas goes through the roof
• 1:12:25
  and plane tickets go up or, you know, does the world magically
• 1:12:30
  solve things and prices plummet? No, it's.
• 1:12:35
  I think it's too, I think it's too soon now for anything to to
• 1:12:39
  go through the system, you know? Yeah, I think I said that on the
• 1:12:43
  show that six weeks ago my life was just like the random thing,
• 1:12:47
  the prices are going to go up. Yeah.
• 1:12:50
  And I was like, well, I'm sure it'll be fine.
• 1:12:51
  And they're like, you know, they're coming down again
• 1:12:53
  before, before the event. And then they went up £100 since
• 1:12:58
  she said that. And it's like, damn it, because
• 1:13:01
  they were a bit more than I normally pay at that point,
• 1:13:03
  which is why I didn't pull the trigger.
• 1:13:04
  What I forgot was I had £100 United voucher after being
• 1:13:08
  delayed for six hours last year. So how do I remember that I'd
• 1:13:11
  bought them at that point? And they've been.
• 1:13:12
  Oh. Crap.
• 1:13:14
  Well, you must have that voucher as well now.
• 1:13:17
  You have points. Put it into points.
• 1:13:19
  Oh, you. Put into points.
• 1:13:20
  That's right. Well, that's why I might use
• 1:13:22
  points and money this year to buy my ticket.
• 1:13:25
  Points win prizes. Points win prizes.
• 1:13:27
  Yeah. So I got to San.
• 1:13:28
  Diego last year. True, Yeah.
• 1:13:32
  And are you going this year to San Diego or?
• 1:13:36
  I was told I'm not allowed to go.
• 1:13:38
  Oh, by by Jeremy or by the good lady by Jeremy?
• 1:13:43
  By Jeremy. Jeremy.
• 1:13:48
  Right. They must be doing something.
• 1:13:50
  Whatever is what's the opposite of a skeleton.
• 1:13:55
  They don't. They don't want to run, and they
• 1:13:57
  don't want to. Show floor and they will let you
• 1:14:00
  back. It's terrible.
• 1:14:04
  They don't want them throwing tables over in in Enraged.
• 1:14:08
  There's no skeletons in this place.
• 1:14:10
  What's going on? Barbarians raging.
• 1:14:12
  I'm wrecking the place. But yeah, you know that that do
• 1:14:17
  you? Did you guys watch that show
• 1:14:18
  that Jeremy was on last Friday? I think it was Figure Fight
• 1:14:22
  Club. No.
• 1:14:25
  Somebody asked a question in the comments and they said if you
• 1:14:30
  had to describe the mid year mythic legions wave in a word or
• 1:14:36
  sentence, how would you? And he responded builders.
• 1:14:47
  So that tells me two things. We are getting a mid year wave,
• 1:14:51
  yeah. And it's going to be some for
• 1:14:53
  the builders. That folder on his laptop was.
• 1:14:59
  Should have clicked into that rich.
• 1:15:02
  Don't talk to me about stuff on his laptop, I'm just staying out
• 1:15:04
  of any. Yeah, no, we were just sitting
• 1:15:07
  in the audience looking at screen.
• 1:15:08
  So just laid. It on the big.
• 1:15:10
  Screen he should have clicked into it was it?
• 1:15:14
  Brent, I think and then asked him a question about it when
• 1:15:16
  they did the Q&A. We're getting reinforcements to
• 1:15:19
  read Jeremy. I think, I mean the RPG was it
• 1:15:23
  was a little bit of that, but be interesting to see how how they
• 1:15:27
  go with this. But I what I'm most excited for
• 1:15:31
  is it's been such a long time of get it.
• 1:15:36
  Like we've got a lot of new parts over the last while and
• 1:15:39
  and delivered, you know, so not just, you know, parts that are
• 1:15:42
  on pre-order. So these could be all builders
• 1:15:46
  with an awful lot of new parts, you know?
• 1:15:49
  Be awesome to get another dwarf with some of the.
• 1:15:53
  All the dwarf Leathers that are out there, male and female, all
• 1:15:57
  the new everything. All.
• 1:15:59
  Yeah, yeah. Goblins.
• 1:16:01
  Goblins a little while and we're getting a builder pack there.
• 1:16:05
  Yeah, because the ashes wave will be will be hitting in the
• 1:16:07
  next couple of months and I assume that they'll be able to
• 1:16:11
  use any new parts from that wave as well in this.
• 1:16:14
  So, yeah, so exciting. It'll be a good way to to stock
• 1:16:19
  up on parts and make bills that will be perfect for you, Brett
• 1:16:25
  and how you collect because you you do you do giant bins of
• 1:16:29
  fodder skeleton parts and non skeleton parts basically, Yeah,
• 1:16:36
  so. I guess it all makes sense to if
• 1:16:39
  they're they're going a bit bigger on cosmic this year that
• 1:16:42
  still needs to drop at some point relatively soon.
• 1:16:44
  I'm getting. So there's only so much, you
• 1:16:45
  know, an entire wave of builders is going to cost considerably
• 1:16:48
  less than a normal wave. So it makes sense to do that.
• 1:16:51
  Yeah, yeah. Good point, Rich.
• 1:16:53
  I'm I'm I'm I'm thinking that we'll see a cosmic reveal end of
• 1:16:57
  May, beginning of June. You know this pre-order we're
• 1:17:00
  currently that starts tomorrow, ends on the 17th.
• 1:17:03
  Give us two weeks to recover. Boom, here's your cosmic cosmic
• 1:17:08
  ends in five weeks. Boom, here's your mythic after a
• 1:17:11
  couple weeks break. Yeah, it's once a once a month
• 1:17:14
  guys. It's like clockwork.
• 1:17:16
  We got to plan once a month. They're going to take a few
• 1:17:18
  hundred, Yeah. I mean, people get paid on, you
• 1:17:21
  know, either, I don't know, monthly or two weekly basis
• 1:17:26
  maybe more so in America. So yeah, got to get into those
• 1:17:31
  wallets, right. Well, as it's Thursday night,
• 1:17:34
  we're recording and I got to get this up on Friday latest.
• 1:17:38
  I think we've covered it all there.
• 1:17:40
  Brett, thanks so much for jumping on.
• 1:17:42
  Thank you. Great notice.
• 1:17:43
  I appreciate the invite, gentlemen.
• 1:17:44
  No problem. You know.
• 1:17:46
  Breaks up the the afternoon of retirement sitting on the the
• 1:17:49
  front porch shielding at kids well.
• 1:17:52
  We appreciate all you do for us because you you know, you're
• 1:17:56
  you're richest pile of loose among other things, you help us
• 1:18:00
  ship some some stuff back from Legions Con might be a bit more
• 1:18:03
  this year. I'm happy to do it.
• 1:18:08
  Hold down the hold down the back seats for the way home, you
• 1:18:10
  know. I think I'm going with the
• 1:18:12
  approach of I might give Brett all my clothes to ship.
• 1:18:19
  Because you want to play. You want to play with the
• 1:18:21
  figures. Yeah.
• 1:18:24
  Kennedy can't wear a thong. You can't.
• 1:18:28
  You can't wear a thong on the plane only.
• 1:18:31
  No particularly. It's a decent chance to be on
• 1:18:32
  the same flight as me, so no, no thong on the plane.
• 1:18:35
  End of November. Like Homer Simpson wears and
• 1:18:39
  just get one of. Them right, we jumped the shark.
