• 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 111 of the
• 0:20
  Allegiance podcast. Little mid season break last
• 0:23
  week, but we're back. We're back and we're ready to go
• 0:27
  again. Recovered from the Bay of their
• 0:30
  campaign, the complete mythic and legions overload everywhere.
• 0:38
  But yeah, we're ready to see what comes next, I think.
• 0:41
  Yeah. So how are you doing, Rich?
• 0:43
  Good for not too bad. Thank you.
• 0:45
  Back from a week's holiday last week.
• 0:47
  So that was nice. Yeah.
• 0:50
  I was up in North Wales and there wasn't a cloud in the sky
• 0:52
  for six days, which is basically unheard of up there.
• 0:56
  Well, I mean, it was, it was cold, don't be wrong.
• 0:58
  It was like what, 1213°? But but yeah, got out on the
• 1:02
  beach every day for walks and that sort of stuff.
• 1:04
  It was a really lovely time up there.
• 1:06
  I. Think there was a little bit of
• 1:08
  a kind of a good high pressure spell or something over the
• 1:12
  whole year because we we had great weather here.
• 1:15
  My mum said they had great weather, so in Ireland, so yeah,
• 1:19
  we're lucky. Well, we're paying for it now
• 1:21
  because it's being rained for the next three or four days
• 1:23
  here, so it. Is, but I'm working now so I
• 1:25
  don't care. Bollocks.
• 1:26
  So everybody's got time off. And did you did you pay for your
• 1:30
  week off when you got back to work as usual?
• 1:31
  You know, sometimes it's more hassle than it's worth.
• 1:34
  Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but this time it was
• 1:36
  just a shit show. None of which I can talk about
• 1:39
  on this, but it was Oh my God, it was one of those like Monday
• 1:43
  was just like. You you think that you think
• 1:49
  you're on a hidden camera show or something.
• 1:50
  Is. It, yeah, basically it was like,
• 1:53
  I mean, I was off for what, a week?
• 1:54
  Came back to like 100 and 2000 and 30 emails, almost all of
• 1:58
  which were like high priority. And it was just like, you're
• 2:01
  kidding me. And everybody else when he
• 2:04
  speaks, he's on leave because it's the Easter week this week.
• 2:06
  So everybody else has bugged it off and it's, yeah, just mayhem.
• 2:10
  Oh, am I sure Only one more day. Can release, yeah, yeah.
• 2:14
  Unfortunately, that's what pays for the figures.
• 2:17
  Yeah, basically. Yeah.
• 2:20
  And Mel, how are you doing? Yeah, I'm all right.
• 2:23
  I I am. I'm one of those people who's
• 2:25
  broke up for Easter already. I took an extra day.
• 2:29
  Just why not? It's going to be a little.
• 2:31
  Why not? Yeah.
• 2:32
  Any more time off? So, yeah.
• 2:35
  And are you surviving the the Rat Infant Station in Birmingham
• 2:38
  or? Yeah.
• 2:39
  Yeah, I my area isn't too bad. No, it's not bad at all.
• 2:45
  Yeah, it's not really suffering. Our bins are being picked up
• 2:50
  regularly. It's the recycling they've
• 2:52
  stopped for us, although curiously the council tax still
• 2:57
  went up despite the fact that, you know, they've actually
• 2:59
  reduced the services we're receiving.
• 3:02
  It's amazing how that works, isn't it?
• 3:03
  Yeah, yeah, because it's, it's such a big story that even I
• 3:06
  heard about it over here. Like, yeah, because I think
• 3:09
  Birmingham is the biggest council in Europe by size, by
• 3:13
  population. It's the other side of
• 3:15
  Birmingham that's suffering really.
• 3:17
  Oh, that's suffering the worst. Yeah, I heard something really
• 3:19
  interesting where the lower the lower, what's the lower class?
• 3:24
  But the people from, you know, more working class areas, they
• 3:27
  all got together and kind of did their, you know, did their kind
• 3:30
  of clean up. The people from the rich areas
• 3:32
  just paid a private company to do it.
• 3:34
  And it's all the people in the middle that are kind of
• 3:36
  struggling with the problem. So it's a kind of a metaphor for
• 3:40
  for life almost, although fair play to those people that just,
• 3:43
  you know, came out in their community and did it themselves,
• 3:45
  which they shouldn't have to. Yeah.
• 3:48
  So basically it's a big bin. There's a is it a bin collection
• 3:52
  strike in Birmingham? Because they're, Yeah, well,
• 3:55
  technicalities to do with the. It's pay because.
• 3:59
  Well. Yeah, I mean, without going into
• 4:01
  too much detail, basically the job doesn't get done without
• 4:04
  them doing overtime. Yeah.
• 4:05
  And they got told they were going to get their overtime
• 4:07
  taken off them. So what do you know people in
• 4:11
  the free world do is they strike when they're they're not happy
• 4:14
  with the. Well, help it's yourself because
• 4:16
  that's that's a pretty smelly problem to to have.
• 4:20
  Yeah. Could be you next, Rich Bristol?
• 4:23
  Oh no, we're good. Bristol.
• 4:24
  Bristol hippies. They're peaceniks.
• 4:26
  They're not going to do anything.
• 4:27
  Yeah, anything like that? Good.
• 4:31
  And what about this fish tank I heard you have?
• 4:34
  Yes, so the new tank was meant to go up last Saturday and I got
• 4:40
  home from North Wales on Friday, looked in the tank and one of
• 4:43
  the fish had a bit of a disease. So once I once I stopped
• 4:47
  swearing I treated the tank for said issue and that's fine now
• 4:51
  sort of thing. So Friday is so I'm off work on
• 4:54
  Friday because it's Good Friday, got bank holiday here.
• 4:57
  So that's when the big swap over from a 70 litre tank to a 200
• 5:01
  litre tank takes place. So so I built the stand earlier
• 5:06
  on today. It took me about 3 hours, an
• 5:08
  hour and a half of which was just trying to get the doors to
• 5:09
  lighten up properly. The, the language in my head at
• 5:13
  that point was, was really quite severe.
• 5:16
  My wife Blessed came in and made a joke about it taking ages and
• 5:19
  I was like, I know you're trying to be funny, but this is not the
• 5:21
  time. She's like, OK, I'll just go
• 5:22
  then, but it's done now. It's done now.
• 5:28
  So, so that's one job out of the way.
• 5:30
  So. See didn't take my advice on the
• 5:32
  on the fish issue. No, I didn't murder it, John, as
• 5:37
  as sage advice as that was, No. And to be honest, if I thought
• 5:41
  it was just that one hadn't spread, it might have happened,
• 5:43
  but I couldn't say the risk. So yeah.
• 5:47
  So no fishies have been harmed. They haven't no no, although the
• 5:52
  the shrimps in the tank, bless them, are doing the best to wind
• 5:54
  me up now so I put this this most fish treatments are like
• 5:58
  poisonous shrimps. I'll just kill you shrimp.
• 6:00
  There are a handful that are fine.
• 6:02
  So I Google's I had this medicine anyway, I had Google
• 6:04
  searched ages at the time and this is like one of many two
• 6:07
  that treats that thing and isn't poisonous to the shrimps.
• 6:09
  So great, put it in. No shrimps passed out
• 6:13
  immediately. Great.
• 6:14
  OK, got daughter ready for bed, all that sort of stuff.
• 6:17
  It's like that's fine. Went back downstairs and the
• 6:19
  shrimps were just charging around the tank, almost like in
• 6:21
  a circle around the tank and I'm like, oh God, oh God, they're
• 6:25
  they're in pain, they're in agony, they're going to die.
• 6:27
  It's like I can't do anything. It's like, you know it's already
• 6:31
  too late if there's an issue so I just turned the tank lights
• 6:33
  off and the next morning got it all fine.
• 6:36
  They were playing a game of tag or something like.
• 6:38
  That just just turn them into metal heads momentarily.
• 6:41
  They just just just wind me up. I've never seen them do that.
• 6:43
  I've had them two years. Maybe it was shrimp, cocaine
• 6:47
  maybe and. Then yesterday I turned the
• 6:49
  temperature down on the tank a little bit because when you do
• 6:52
  the tank change over temperatures drop and that so
• 6:54
  it's best to be a little bit lower so that, you know, they
• 6:56
  don't get a shock. And walked into the living room
• 6:59
  today and there was a shrimp carcass on the floor of the
• 7:02
  tank. And I'm like, you're kidding me.
• 7:05
  And it was just a shed. So there really are two of them
• 7:07
  are both shed. They're exoskeletons.
• 7:09
  So they are just basically they're hazing me now.
• 7:13
  It's like just taunted by shrimps.
• 7:16
  And what what size are the shrimps relative to the fish
• 7:19
  then in a kind of a fish? Similar sort of size, the
• 7:22
  shrimp, they're both about four centimetres.
• 7:25
  So that's what, 1 1/2 inches for our American listeners.
• 7:28
  So not not massive sort of things, but big enough they
• 7:31
  won't get eaten. Very good, very good.
• 7:36
  Yes. So a big change on Friday.
• 7:37
  It should take me about all day because I'm slow with these sort
• 7:39
  of things. But my wife was laughing at me
• 7:41
  because I got a full list of 33 bullets.
• 7:44
  I think of the order I need to do everything.
• 7:46
  In. An yeah, and I'll print it out
• 7:49
  and then just mark it off as I go.
• 7:50
  Each three, each things sort of things.
• 7:54
  What a nerd. An absolute nerd, yes.
• 7:59
  Well, we did get some fun feedback actually, from our last
• 8:04
  episode. You remember the last one?
• 8:05
  It's a couple of weeks ago now with the worst characters ever.
• 8:08
  Oh, yeah, Yes. And puppets.
• 8:11
  Yeah, we got Kirby Smith, He said.
• 8:15
  Mr. Fibble is very cross indeed. Red Dwarf 16 shooters that
• 8:24
  Trevor said Corgi Atherblade is a must.
• 8:31
  I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Yeah, and Brian sees that he was
• 8:35
  taking notes. So Goodman Brian, that's that's
• 8:39
  we did shout him out to, to do one or two of the and, and then
• 8:44
  he said, I guess he typed that comment and then he he replied
• 8:48
  to his own comment saying I also, I don't know how to feel
• 8:51
  about my name coming up. And then you immediately begin
• 8:53
  to talk about a sentient poo. I can't remember for sure but
• 9:01
  I'm pretty positive that was Miles fault I.
• 9:04
  Think I think he was a compliment.
• 9:05
  We were saying that you can make it look cool, if I remember
• 9:08
  rightly. Yeah.
• 9:12
  So that's fun. Some, yeah, sometimes those type
• 9:15
  of episodes generate some some cool comments.
• 9:18
  So yeah, I know a lot. That's always fun, yeah.
• 9:20
  We've got a little voicemail from Curtis, didn't we?
• 9:22
  As well explaining how the show went.
• 9:26
  Yes, that's right. Yes, yeah.
• 9:29
  What did he say? Rich Rich.
• 9:30
  Rich suggests the rock that doesn't move.
• 9:32
  He's got no facial features but is sentient miles.
• 9:35
  Like, no, no. Oh, that's a great idea.
• 9:40
  That was pretty much the episode.
• 9:42
  Yeah. All right, oh, we got a new
• 9:47
  listener last week as well. Oh, did we?
• 9:49
  It might be a one and done episode, but my massage, my
• 9:52
  massage therapist, he I've been talking to him about the show
• 9:55
  and he's like, I turned one on at random.
• 9:57
  He said just have a listen. He's like, listen to the whole
• 9:58
  thing. He's like, good man.
• 10:02
  What's his name? Start collecting.
• 10:03
  His name's Adam. So thank you, Adam for that.
• 10:06
  Yeah, thank you, Adam. Yeah, shout outs are free.
• 10:10
  Yeah, absolutely. Just give Rich an extra punch
• 10:14
  the next time you have him on the table.
• 10:17
  He's a bit more gentle, maybe this week's I saw him on, on
• 10:19
  Monday sort of thing and I can, I can move.
• 10:22
  So that was better than last time where I was well.
• 10:24
  So yeah, that is that's pretty amazing.
• 10:27
  And yeah, and any customizing mall you did a cool little
• 10:33
  snowman. I saw you're starting.
• 10:34
  Yeah, I've started. I've just got to do his limbs
• 10:37
  now. I don't have a picture of him
• 10:40
  tanned or well, do I? No, no, that's OK.
• 10:43
  We, we, we can describe him. Go back to our.
• 10:44
  Yeah, describe. So I've done sort of what you'd
• 10:48
  like, what you'd hope to do, sort of bit of blue shading,
• 10:52
  mostly white carrot nose. There is more colour in the
• 10:56
  nose. You put a little bit of texture
• 10:58
  on them. I did, I've, I've done it
• 11:00
  previously with like doing an ice sword for my Santa.
• 11:05
  I bought some of that Valhallem Blizzard, which I know Curtis
• 11:08
  actually took a look at on his show and I bought it before
• 11:15
  that, funnily enough, literally like the same week he bought it
• 11:18
  up on there and play with it. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:22
  And I decided to, I wanted, I didn't want it to be super flat
• 11:25
  and smooth. So I thought, well, I'll add a
• 11:27
  bit of that on it to and I think it's worked really well on the
• 11:30
  head because the silhouette of the head looking like it's a bit
• 11:33
  icy, a bit frosty. The body, you know, it's a bit
• 11:36
  like flocking, but not that thick.
• 11:39
  Approved. Approved.
• 11:41
  Yeah, I like it. I like the way he's coming out.
• 11:44
  I can't wait to sort of show him off properly.
• 11:46
  But that's cool. There's a bit of adrenaline.
• 11:48
  A joints going to come in the next weekend.
• 11:50
  This weekend, yeah. Yeah, I did a did a dwarf
• 11:54
  custom, yes. Very cool as well.
• 11:57
  It's I, I can't, I need to look up who the head is from.
• 12:00
  I don't know if you guys know this, but it's got a Mohawk and
• 12:05
  a kind of beard with a load of plots in it and a ponytail with
• 12:11
  a plot at the back. He's cool and just did a dwarf
• 12:15
  build with that skirt piece from Duban and and it looks a bit
• 12:20
  like the similar colour to the cavern dwarf, but it's actually
• 12:23
  full repaint. I kind of tried to do more
• 12:26
  brassy bronze that kind of has a little bit more depth than the
• 12:29
  cabin dwarf. So I think it looks cool in
• 12:31
  person, the photos and a cool torso from Sepodon as well.
• 12:37
  We've got a dwarf torso torso from him.
• 12:38
  It's kind of a wider one with a little bit chainmail on the top
• 12:42
  and. Oh yeah, I should probably say
• 12:45
  my the head and torso of mine are from Planetary Dog Toys.
• 12:49
  The head is the snowman head. They did.
• 12:51
  And I think the torso is one that's now discontinued or
• 12:54
  they're discontinued. I think the snowman has
• 12:56
  discontinued as well. Yeah.
• 12:59
  So don't drop it. Yeah, I've got its blue tacked
• 13:03
  in plate in in the display cabinet ready for the.
• 13:07
  Arms yeah, I've I've brought them to the discount to sell and
• 13:10
  I put, I also tape a little bit of bubble wrap around the carrot
• 13:16
  nose before I put it in a bubble wrap baggie.
• 13:19
  Yeah, it seems to do the trick. It seems to do the trick.
• 13:22
  And then we we had Andy, Spinks says who has done as a deal for
• 13:28
  the Thailand to figure yes, we've got him coming.
• 13:32
  Did yours arrive yet? They're with Brett, who will be
• 13:36
  forwarding a parcel. That's right.
• 13:37
  Yeah. Yeah, mine is.
• 13:39
  I was open to have mine today but didn't turn up.
• 13:42
  Yeah, OK. Yeah, now my pile of loot is
• 13:44
  winging its way to Brett. And then once that arrives,
• 13:46
  that'll be shipped over, so not too long.
• 13:50
  Actually processing through facility in Luxembourg like the
• 13:54
  last two days. Anyway, sorry man.
• 13:56
  No no it's alright. I was going to say I did
• 13:58
  actually today get my staff Ross and graveyard skeletons from big
• 14:07
  bad literally turned up today. I've not opened them or
• 14:10
  anything. This you know, been a busy 1
• 14:12
  today so. Oh, cool stuff.
• 14:16
  That dwarf head is by Matt's customs and sold at Wolf King.
• 14:20
  There you go. Yeah, Wolf King.
• 14:22
  OK, so look for a Mohawk dwarf at Wolf King.
• 14:25
  You'll find it. It's cool.
• 14:27
  I did post it in my insta story and in the dwarf group on the
• 14:31
  Cabal Kings under the mountain. So if you like dwarfs, go join
• 14:35
  there. It's an awesome place for dwarf
• 14:37
  content and all right, let's talk about a few things that's
• 14:44
  going on then I guess we need to catch up on bait here.
• 14:49
  He got funded. He got funded at the the door.
• 14:53
  We didn't have the full results the last time we talked.
• 14:57
  It was just the weekend before the weekend.
• 15:00
  So final numbers bait here, the Dragon 4962.
• 15:05
  So pretty pretty successful fiery breath 4035 and epic wings
• 15:13
  2924 so about 3.7 million in sales.
• 15:19
  So good on the horsemen and that means everything is unlocked.
• 15:26
  So we got a everything, including this guy, the beaters
• 15:35
  Fury. So we only had the silhouette of
• 15:38
  him on the last episode. And this is where stuff seems it
• 15:43
  seems like you missed an episode or you missed a week for an
• 15:46
  episode. And it seems like a lot of time
• 15:49
  it's gone past. So we haven't really talked too
• 15:53
  much about him. First of all, in the campaign
• 15:58
  mail, I guess we I was the only one that thought it would go
• 16:02
  over 4000 not to. Yeah, to brag, but.
• 16:06
  You know, that's interesting. I mean, because of course I was
• 16:09
  definitely not sure, but I went for it because you guys said no.
• 16:12
  Had I known Big Bad was going to buy 1000 of them, I would have
• 16:15
  upped my my total. That's interesting.
• 16:20
  Yeah, Big Bad seems to have bought some in the campaign and
• 16:24
  putting them up for sale so. Didn't I say when they put
• 16:33
  what's his Name's Gloria. What's he called?
• 16:36
  Benigar, Sir. Benigar.
• 16:38
  When he became available, when they hit.
• 16:41
  Wasn't my text to you? Big Bad has entered the chat.
• 16:45
  That's right. I remember that.
• 16:46
  Oh yeah, that's when. They'd ordered and they didn't
• 16:49
  include it in the total. So I wonder if they've actually
• 16:52
  sold even more than the 4900 or they that's it including, you
• 17:00
  know, I, I wouldn't be surprised if it surpassed the 4000 without
• 17:04
  the big bad orders and they've included them later.
• 17:08
  And it's not just big bad. I've seen at least one of the
• 17:10
  small toy store going. I've ordered five.
• 17:12
  I think they were saying sort of thing to sell and that sort of
• 17:14
  stuff. So.
• 17:15
  Yes, if you do see them at retailer, they're Pete, they're
• 17:17
  retailers that seem to have bought them in the campaign.
• 17:19
  That's what I understand. I doubt the horsemen come out
• 17:23
  and confirm, but other than the horsemen say there wasn't really
• 17:26
  a retailer or like a whole set price for this.
• 17:29
  The wholesale price was kind of what we paid.
• 17:32
  So 800 big batter charging for the the dragon and 2:50 for the
• 17:38
  sets. So you still got a big deal and
• 17:42
  you still you have to put down a deposit big bad 20% or
• 17:45
  something. 20 percent, 160 dollars, yeah.
• 17:48
  And there's a mysterious tariff which they don't know what the
• 17:53
  tariff will be, but you may be charged a tariff when it
• 17:57
  arrives. OK, it's a year and a half, two
• 17:59
  years down the road. So who knows because they're
• 18:01
  changing by the hour so, or at least they were at some point.
• 18:06
  So you could be paying zero on top of that or you could be
• 18:09
  paying 10%, so. They'll be they'll be gone
• 18:13
  completely or virtually nothing in a year and a half's time.
• 18:16
  Hopefully. Because this lunacy will have
• 18:18
  stopped. Hopefully.
• 18:20
  Hope so. Hope you're right.
• 18:22
  No, they definitely will. They've read they've had to row
• 18:24
  back on everything so far because it's a terrible,
• 18:27
  terrible idea that will just put the prices up for Americans who
• 18:30
  won't get any, hardly any extra jobs in America.
• 18:33
  It's a, you know, if, if tariff, if tariffing everybody to get
• 18:36
  stuff brought back home worked, every country in the world would
• 18:38
  do it. And there's a reason every
• 18:39
  country in the world doesn't do it, because it doesn't work.
• 18:43
  Well, I think the last time the US did it plunge them deeper
• 18:46
  into the into depression. Yeah, into depression.
• 18:49
  I mean, you could say it's a long term policy, but I think it
• 18:52
  it needs to be done with a bit more subtlety than a kind of
• 18:55
  hammer and a chisel. Or as it is, maybe it's more
• 18:59
  like a cannon. I think going with here, you
• 19:02
  know, if they picked certain things then kind of, you know,
• 19:05
  instead of just everything you know.
• 19:09
  And because of course stuff like toys and stuff should be
• 19:13
  probably at the back of the queue because it's going to be
• 19:15
  much longer. You know, if you were in the
• 19:17
  ideal thing of like, OK, we do want to bring it home and that's
• 19:20
  feasible still only like 10 years down the road.
• 19:23
  Feasible really. And you kind of have to reduce
• 19:27
  the pain as you go along. So yeah, the way it's been done,
• 19:31
  it's not doesn't seem to be helping anyone.
• 19:33
  So fingers crossed that all gets resolved.
• 19:36
  Not really our domain so. No, we should not.
• 19:39
  Not a worry for us, thankfully. Well, no.
• 19:42
  Well, it'll have other toys. As well because we where we get
• 19:47
  them from. It depends if it gets shipped
• 19:48
  straight to Europe or not, that's true.
• 19:51
  Yeah, it might be a bit of that. The market is not big enough to
• 19:53
  see so it's a tricky 1 anyway. Did I?
• 19:58
  I'm not sure if I told you guys. I almost gave in and went for
• 20:01
  that fiery breath set too. Almost.
• 20:04
  I messaged Brett and said, is your offer to pick it up in New
• 20:08
  Jersey and I can collect it at the following Legions con?
• 20:10
  And he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:12
  And I hummed and hard and I hummed and hard and eventually I
• 20:14
  didn't. But it was.
• 20:16
  It was closed. Just to put it coming out of the
• 20:19
  wall sort of thing, just get a little like bursting through a
• 20:23
  castle wall or something like that, which I thought was a
• 20:25
  really cool idea. And then it was like, I can't
• 20:27
  spend $150.00. Well.
• 20:29
  Just Big Bad has them now. Yeah, 200 and. 50 No, I tell you
• 20:34
  what, I tell you what. I don't think that'll be too
• 20:38
  hard to pick up, but I'd say something like allegiance can't
• 20:41
  in maybe three years time then. So I think you're probably, if
• 20:47
  you were hominin, if you were really on the fence, better to
• 20:50
  just if it had. Been close enough for me to go
• 20:54
  for out of comfort so no, I'm happy with my decision.
• 20:58
  Yeah, you can spend £300 or whenever on fish instead.
• 21:01
  Exactly. Well, yeah, I mean, it's not a
• 21:03
  cheap hobby, so. So let me ask you if, for
• 21:07
  example, your lovely wife said, oh, here's just went out and got
• 21:11
  some fish and chips and you were sitting in front of the the fish
• 21:15
  tank, what's the morally right thing to do there?
• 21:19
  Is it to take it into the kitchen and.
• 21:22
  Oh no, God no. I couldn't care that.
• 21:27
  I'm not a big fish eater though. Literally the only fish I'll eat
• 21:29
  was cod. So that's, you know, fish and
• 21:31
  chips obviously fine. Yeah, yeah.
• 21:35
  But no, I wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
• 21:38
  White bait I'd have an issue with similar size to the fish I
• 21:40
  keep, but when it's something big then no problem with that at
• 21:44
  all. OK.
• 21:47
  Having said that, I mean, I've talked for years about getting a
• 21:49
  micropic as a pet and Kerry's just been like, no, don't be
• 21:52
  stupid, no, no, no. But if I did, I wouldn't stop
• 21:55
  eating bacon because I love bacon and I love sausages.
• 21:57
  So. They would know.
• 21:59
  They would be terrified of you because they would know that was
• 22:02
  bacon. I was also going to call him Mr.
• 22:06
  Scratchings. So that's, you know,
• 22:08
  intimidating as a name as well. Oh my goodness, let's call you
• 22:12
  something after you get cooked too long.
• 22:16
  I saw, I think it was a show or something the other day.
• 22:19
  It was like a a clip that came up on the Internet and they had
• 22:24
  a pig. They had a pet pig and they
• 22:26
  named it Chris P Bacon. That's just cruel.
• 22:33
  That's just like, that's mean. That is mean, right?
• 22:39
  Here's all the stuff we got if you got all the all in.
• 22:41
  So I went for a fiery breath and the dragon and I think I
• 22:45
  mentioned it last week. Mal has gone for everything.
• 22:48
  So he will be getting all this plus obviously the the extra.
• 22:54
  But there is like it's a it's a full wave of a small fit wave of
• 22:58
  figures. Remember was a siege at Bjorngar
• 23:00
  was 5-6 figures 5 figures and the same so plus you get dragon
• 23:07
  on top so. Yeah.
• 23:11
  Well, it's worked out. It's worked out for me roughly I
• 23:14
  think before, before shipping, sorry, before taxes that will be
• 23:19
  added on when we get it is 7 to £800 and that for that much
• 23:25
  stuff it's pretty good. Yeah, it's not the end of the
• 23:28
  world, is it? At all?
• 23:30
  So if I had the display size, I'd have got on the Dragon, but
• 23:33
  yeah. Size of the We had a great idea
• 23:37
  actually. We have in the sitting room, we
• 23:39
  have a fireplace and it's one of these kind of more modern
• 23:43
  fireplaces that has like a glass kind of thing that just slide up
• 23:48
  and down. I don't know if you've ever seen
• 23:50
  that. It's not like an open fireplace.
• 23:51
  It can be open if you slide the thing up.
• 23:54
  But since my wife is pregnant, she had this thing where she
• 23:58
  couldn't, certain smells really got to her and it never went
• 24:02
  away after the kids were born. So we lit a fire there maybe 10
• 24:06
  years ago and she was like can't manage this.
• 24:08
  So we haven't used it since. So we're going to clean the
• 24:12
  whole thing out and clean the kind of glass thing, stick the
• 24:15
  dragon in there. It's about big enough for the
• 24:17
  dragon. Nice.
• 24:18
  Just leave it open so then you can have the fiery breath in the
• 24:22
  fireplace. So she goes, oh, what?
• 24:27
  Like like I said, don't worry. You have two years to be two
• 24:29
  years to clean it. Don't worry.
• 24:35
  So. And yeah, so it's not.
• 24:37
  We never we'll never use it, I guess.
• 24:38
  So why not? Yeah, yeah.
• 24:41
  Sounds good. Yeah.
• 24:43
  So which figure are you most looking forward to hearing?
• 24:47
  Maldon, I think. No.
• 24:49
  No dragon. Experience, obviously.
• 24:51
  Yeah, I think the vinegar now we've got all this gear and
• 24:57
  Jeremy, well, there was a disco on the Cabal.
• 25:00
  There's a discussion about his sword and obviously it's just
• 25:03
  painted here, but Jeremy did pop in and say it's translucent.
• 25:09
  So if they make that sword translucent, that'll be awesome.
• 25:14
  I'd love that. But yeah, so Benny Guard,
• 25:17
  definitely, I think he's a really cool looking figure.
• 25:20
  He's cool and he's got the. I think you can see it on this
• 25:23
  one here. He's got the little dragon,
• 25:25
  silver dragon in the Flint of his helmet.
• 25:28
  Yeah, I love, I love sticking into his helmet.
• 25:32
  That that helmet's cool. Just everything about him is
• 25:35
  awesome. And yeah, I think, I think
• 25:40
  obviously him. My other shout would be the
• 25:42
  Fiery night. That would definitely be my
• 25:46
  second one He's. Spectacularly cool, yeah.
• 25:49
  Just so unique in the line. Yeah, I think he's super cool
• 25:56
  and that he came with the fiery breath is perfect.
• 25:59
  And yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 26:02
  I think that was part of the reason almost lured me in.
• 26:04
  It was just like, oh, you have a figure on fire there as well.
• 26:08
  Yeah, yeah, I do think like as much as I think Sir Benigard is
• 26:14
  probably the best figure here, if if I didn't back it and I had
• 26:20
  a chance of getting a figure, I'd probably choose the fiery
• 26:22
  guy at this point in time. But yeah, it would be tough to
• 26:28
  say no to Sir Vinegar as well, given we won't get that helmet
• 26:32
  ever again and stuff like that. So.
• 26:35
  And of course, he's he's loaded and Beta's Furies, we didn't
• 26:40
  really talk about him. And what's your impression male
• 26:45
  of him? He's all right.
• 26:47
  He's pretty cool. That's.
• 26:50
  You're not a night guy per SE. No, well, that's it.
• 26:53
  That is kind of part of it. He's very much a night and you
• 26:56
  know, so as I've said with. Like.
• 26:59
  The neck and ominous wave, the soft goods on the nights have
• 27:02
  made them cooler to me and more impressive to me and enjoy them
• 27:07
  more. So he's sort of going back to
• 27:08
  more the traditional night and the bit I'm a bit unsure of, but
• 27:12
  I'm sure it will look amazing when he arrives as a so often
• 27:15
  does is the mixes of greens on him.
• 27:18
  The, you know, there's a lot of different greens, which feels a
• 27:21
  bit jarring to me, but I'm sure he'll look fantastic when he
• 27:26
  shows up the green line, the. Shield here is different to the
• 27:29
  green on the armor. That's it, Yeah, it's different
• 27:32
  to the green on the armor and then the chain males another
• 27:36
  green and it looks like the necks another green.
• 27:40
  So it's a bit yeah, a bit odd to me, but I mean, he looked
• 27:44
  otherwise. He's all right.
• 27:45
  Yeah, he's cool. He but he when you see him next
• 27:47
  to some baguette benicar, it looks really good.
• 27:50
  I like the story element of the the mask, the metal mask they
• 27:54
  wear. That's a real the story of him
• 27:56
  is really cool. Yeah, yeah.
• 27:59
  Or them. Because it's a Barbie builder
• 28:01
  really, isn't it? Yeah, but I think what we'll do
• 28:04
  next, we'll talk a bit this week about the future of of where
• 28:09
  we're going with Legions. But I think next week we look
• 28:11
  into the factions of be It Here and the new one, the sect of the
• 28:17
  Azarius. Yeah, that'd be cool.
• 28:19
  So that'll be fun. We can, we can.
• 28:21
  You can practice your BIOS between then and then.
• 28:24
  Yeah, I've got a weekend. And Rich, although you're not
• 28:31
  getting them. What do you think of theater's
• 28:34
  Fury? He's OK.
• 28:38
  If he was available I'd buy him. Obviously OK.
• 28:40
  I'd buy nights. I like nights the the metal mask
• 28:47
  with chainmail doesn't look as good as I thought it would, I
• 28:50
  have to admit. Maybe it's because the green is
• 28:53
  different. Maybe that's what's thrown me
• 28:54
  sort of thing. In principle I really like as an
• 28:56
  idea, I just don't like how it looks at the moment.
• 29:02
  But overall, I mean, it's it's a good figure and it's it's free
• 29:05
  if you bought the dragon. So the people ammonia are saying
• 29:07
  it's a legion builder or they've reused parts.
• 29:10
  It's like it's literally free. Shut up.
• 29:12
  It's definitely not a Legion builder.
• 29:14
  Like, OK, it's a it's an unnamed character kind of thing, but I
• 29:20
  suppose Vargas for Milius in the end is just a suit of armor.
• 29:23
  So yeah, you could say that about him.
• 29:25
  And this is not a Legion builder level in terms of what you get.
• 29:31
  I'm so far beyond that, isn't it?
• 29:32
  Yeah, yeah. And there's lots of paint tabs.
• 29:36
  What I will say is it looks a bit more rushed than Sir Ben
• 29:39
  Mcgar and the paint is a little bit.
• 29:44
  It lacks a bit of salty for me and which I think through the
• 29:48
  factory that might be cleaned up.
• 29:52
  But I do think that it looks a bit you see there like the
• 29:57
  detail on the colour could be the photo as well.
• 30:00
  But the detail and the colour and the wings is a bit washed
• 30:02
  out by the green paint there, for example.
• 30:06
  But that could be and the helmet, the crossing the helmet.
• 30:11
  The one thing I really like is the fact they redid the the boss
• 30:14
  on the shield. Yeah, that's a really good idea.
• 30:19
  And just having it in that like gold rather than the green that
• 30:22
  I mean, that's a great, great part to add with it.
• 30:25
  I really like that. Agreed.
• 30:27
  Yeah, yes, you can. You know, 2 two different shield
• 30:33
  setups basically there. Two different helmet setups as
• 30:36
  well. Really comes with the horns and
• 30:38
  the wings. That's right.
• 30:40
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 30:41
  There is, and if you want a Doctor Doom homage then you've
• 30:45
  got it there with the the chainmail and the metal mask.
• 30:48
  I'll. Be displaying in with that
• 30:49
  definitely, because as I say, I like the story they've given
• 30:53
  that and yeah. I'll be honest, I haven't even
• 30:56
  read the story. I didn't even know the was
• 30:57
  because I checked out. I'm not getting this.
• 30:59
  Next week you'll you'll find out.
• 31:02
  There we go. I can hear it, Miles.
• 31:03
  Dulcet tones for the first time. That'd be amazing.
• 31:06
  Dull tones. Dull, he said.
• 31:12
  Yeah, I think on the close-ups of the of the chainmail heads,
• 31:17
  there is a bit of blue around the face here, kind of around
• 31:20
  the nose and mouth. I don't know if that's on
• 31:22
  purpose or if it's just under the lights.
• 31:25
  It came written that way. John, don't be saying that
• 31:29
  whatever I mentioned blue and lighting, you tell me.
• 31:32
  No, it's, it's not like, it's not like blue from the lights.
• 31:35
  It's that the lights are so strong that maybe the paint kind
• 31:39
  of show us what's underneath it, you know, and it's as it's a
• 31:41
  prototype that could happen, but it's on all the masks.
• 31:47
  So must be on purpose. There must be some reason for
• 31:52
  it. OK, so All in all, the great
• 31:57
  campaign there was, as we've mentioned previously, there was
• 32:00
  a 24 hour kind of marathon live stream thing with all the
• 32:04
  different channels that weren't us on YouTube.
• 32:10
  And at the end there was a legions lounge with just shove
• 32:14
  it and they gave away 4 Dragons and to be crazy at the end, but
• 32:17
  people were super chatting for hundreds of dollars and stuff.
• 32:20
  So incredibly generous of yeah, go back and watch that if you
• 32:25
  want to see it's it's crazy. And yeah, so Congrats to all
• 32:30
  those involved in that. That was a great little thing to
• 32:34
  get it over the line and seem to have helped.
• 32:38
  And people that did it, yeah. Yeah, definitely.
• 32:43
  Yeah. Although Kurt has gone 24 hours
• 32:46
  without sleep. I can't imagine that was fun.
• 32:48
  Oh, did he do? I should have guessed he'd do it
• 32:50
  all. Yeah, he did it all.
• 32:54
  Yeah. Can't do that.
• 32:55
  That's. Bonkers these days.
• 32:57
  Yeah. No, I really can't.
• 33:00
  If I was lying in my bed, I couldn't do the the 24 hours.
• 33:05
  Well, I'm, I'm watching WrestleMania this coming
• 33:07
  weekend. That's two nights and that'll be
• 33:09
  from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM over here, and I'm dreading that.
• 33:14
  Yeah, the the NFL draft last year was 11:00 PM here till 4:00
• 33:17
  or 5:00 AM and I did that two nights and it killed me.
• 33:21
  So the the draft is next week and it's a Thursday.
• 33:23
  It's like, Nope, I just have to miss the first round.
• 33:26
  Can't I can't do that and then have to work the next day.
• 33:29
  It's too old. Just switch your phone off and
• 33:34
  and you see, you'd be surprised by the next morning.
• 33:41
  They also put out a statement on the tariffs.
• 33:46
  So they said the situation with the tariffs is changing.
• 33:49
  This is about bait here. It's changing rapidly.
• 33:53
  It's not scheduled until later in 2026.
• 33:57
  It's any guess what the tariffs will be at that time.
• 34:00
  What we can tell you is that we have no intention of charging
• 34:02
  customers additional fees while sees items are produced and
• 34:05
  ready to ship. So they're basically saying that
• 34:07
  that's their problem in a way. And hopefully this helps to
• 34:12
  clear up some concerns on bed here and how the current tariffs
• 34:16
  will impact those who choose to back the campaign.
• 34:19
  So this was put out before the the funding.
• 34:23
  So I guess that reassured people and as you can see retailers
• 34:28
  like Big Bad or choosing a slightly different course, so
• 34:32
  which I understand too it. Must be so difficult at the
• 34:36
  moment. But yeah, I think it's up to
• 34:38
  manufacturers like the Horsemen to build it into their prices.
• 34:42
  And yeah, retailers when it's uncertain and they're getting
• 34:46
  shipping stuff direct from China, I guess they have to
• 34:49
  protect their business a bit. And the big bad thing is they
• 34:53
  let you can't they give you like a notice and you can cancel your
• 34:56
  order if you don't agree with paying the extras?
• 34:59
  You can, but you've lost your $160 non refundable deposit.
• 35:03
  Oh, you think so? Yeah, it says non refundable.
• 35:06
  I haven't maybe in that scenario.
• 35:09
  Also, the horsemen have been, I mean, if the tariffs say 145%,
• 35:13
  there's no way the horsemen can put this out without asking for
• 35:16
  more money because it'll bankrupt them.
• 35:18
  Yes. So they've been very clever with
• 35:20
  the wording here, not trying to avoid anything or anything like
• 35:23
  that, but they've given themselves the option to say,
• 35:25
  well, actually we do need to add some on, but you can cancel.
• 35:29
  This would be my guess. You know, if we're going to have
• 35:31
  to charge you another $200, you can cancel before we start
• 35:33
  making it. Just don't think they can, you
• 35:36
  know, like, but what about All Star Six that arrives in the
• 35:40
  port, say hypothetically tomorrow?
• 35:45
  And if that wave was, I don't know, say beta or what's 3.7
• 35:50
  million say that wave, they had to pay 2 million to the factory
• 35:54
  to get all those figures, thousands of figures, Does that
• 35:58
  mean they have to pay 2 million in import tariffs?
• 36:01
  3,000,000 about the current price thing.
• 36:05
  That just doesn't work, does it? No.
• 36:08
  So although I did read a report earlier today that someone had
• 36:10
  posted saying although they put all these tariffs in place, they
• 36:14
  haven't actually put in place to collect at the ports.
• 36:16
  So apparently at the moment all the stocks just been waved
• 36:18
  through was normal. No tariffs have been collected.
• 36:20
  But Are you sure that an invoice isn't going to arrive?
• 36:23
  You know I can't get my stuff delivered from FedEx and then
• 36:27
  they send me an invoice month later.
• 36:29
  Now maybe if the invoice was for £2,000,000 they wouldn't deliver
• 36:33
  the stuff yet. But you've got, I mean, if they
• 36:36
  haven't even got the infrastructure in place at the
• 36:38
  ports to start billing for it, it's not just taking names and
• 36:43
  numbers, it's we have to recruit people.
• 36:46
  Would you say to? I don't think.
• 36:48
  That's your company in China tomorrow morning.
• 36:51
  Yeah, put it on the water. Or would you say no?
• 36:55
  Hold it. No, hold it at the moment,
• 36:57
  absolutely. That's the problem, isn't it?
• 37:03
  Because. Whatever they pay in storage
• 37:04
  over there, it's going to be a damn sight less than the amount
• 37:07
  to pay a tariff. Yeah, it's the uncertainty of it
• 37:11
  as well. You know, OK, hundred and
• 37:13
  whatever percent is not going to work for anybody.
• 37:17
  But if it was 10% or whatever, I don't know if China has slightly
• 37:21
  different, but you just take the, the, the kind of default
• 37:25
  10%. That's money.
• 37:27
  It's a lot of money, but it's, it's certain you can budget for
• 37:31
  it. You know what's going to happen.
• 37:33
  But if it's going up and down like the stock market, yeah,
• 37:37
  it's not going to work for a business, is it?
• 37:43
  Oh, just off mute and he smashes his mic.
• 37:48
  I love it. I haven't done that for ages.
• 37:50
  It was due one. I haven't done that for a long
• 37:52
  time. True, I need to go back and
• 37:54
  listen to the back and I've edited most of them and then I'm
• 37:56
  sure I missed some and this one here is pretty cool.
• 38:01
  And so this is some of the Rising Suns figures.
• 38:06
  Actually, the the beasts pretty much are the animals.
• 38:10
  Yeah, not barbarian insight. God bless them.
• 38:13
  Test shots of Riggarian but far and Umbra.
• 38:17
  So the horsemen posted this on their socials.
• 38:20
  These are test shot figures, part of our approval process and
• 38:26
  where they do the the troubleshooting and stuff with
• 38:28
  them are expectations at this time that these figures will be
• 38:32
  ready and the rest of the wave will be ready later this year.
• 38:35
  And then obviously post updates as they get closer to completion
• 38:41
  and arrival. So I mean the bear looks pretty
• 38:44
  much done, No, I mean there might be some small tweaks they
• 38:48
  make, but. Yeah, I'm not sure whether they
• 38:50
  need to do stuff around the neck.
• 38:51
  Maybe at the moment it does look a little strange.
• 38:56
  Now that might be the best they can do, but.
• 38:59
  Yeah. Like maybe, just maybe take that
• 39:01
  up a little bit. Yeah, a little bit lower, a
• 39:03
  little bit more flush. Yeah, but standing up.
• 39:08
  Yeah, that's cool though. So good.
• 39:11
  That's good. That horse looks like a like
• 39:13
  like a little goat or something said it.
• 39:17
  That's a full size Legions horse and.
• 39:20
  How cool head? Yeah, how cool does that Unicorn
• 39:23
  head look? When I saw that, I'm like, that
• 39:25
  actually looks even better than I thought it's going to look.
• 39:28
  So yeah. I really want them to use that
• 39:32
  in cosmic. Some sort of a rainbowy Unicorn?
• 39:39
  No, please. Please don't fool Horseman.
• 39:41
  Why? We don't need a rainbow Unicorn
• 39:43
  in Cosmic, dear Gardener. What if it's?
• 39:48
  Oh no, Swift winds, not a Unicorn.
• 39:50
  What if it's got a soft puppet on the tooth that'd.
• 39:53
  Be fine, I'd be all in that. Or even on the top of the
• 39:57
  Unicorn horn. Yeah.
• 40:01
  Yeah. So I guess especially on the
• 40:08
  horse, you see the parts that are in that kind of beige
• 40:13
  colour, they seem to be the new tools parts.
• 40:15
  The same on Rigurian over here. I mean obviously the head is
• 40:23
  painted, but we got the the belt piece that all seems to be new
• 40:30
  bits hanging from the belt. Would they be from the heads
• 40:32
  back? Maybe they were going to get
• 40:34
  with Austria six that go. Something like that or something
• 40:40
  that no, wasn't it that they were.
• 40:43
  They were big enough to fit on like things like the heads pack
• 40:47
  or like that. I can't remember.
• 40:48
  There was something said about that.
• 40:49
  They wasn't there. The jet looks good, there's AI
• 40:53
  can see on the floor in the background here, Mal on the
• 40:55
  right there's a cosmic stuff. Oh yeah, yeah, it looks like
• 41:00
  it's. There's some crates there.
• 41:01
  Look. Yeah, that looks like that new
• 41:05
  space suit, one of those figures.
• 41:08
  So there's a lot happening. Yeah, I'm super excited for that
• 41:12
  way, but I'm excited for all this stuff before that too, so.
• 41:17
  But great to get little sneak peeks.
• 41:19
  It's going to be a big year, isn't it, with All Star 6
• 41:21
  arriving in the not too distant future and then both Cosmic
• 41:24
  waves and then they're talking about getting Rising Suns out as
• 41:26
  well. That's that's a lot of stuff to
• 41:28
  get in in one year. Yeah, so it's why that little
• 41:31
  problem we were talking about before hopefully resolves to
• 41:34
  some extent. Yeah.
• 41:36
  So what about this, the map now, do you want to read what they
• 41:44
  posted? I'll.
• 41:45
  Read it. OK?
• 41:47
  For a decade now, what we've known as Mythos was based on the
• 41:51
  map that Nate drew, showing Castle of Four Sides in the
• 41:54
  centre of a continent with four heroic kingdoms of Light,
• 41:57
  Leandor, Zylonia, Etheros and Ephidian around it.
• 42:03
  But we have only seen a small piece of the world of Mythic
• 42:05
  Legions so far. Our fans and our storied
• 42:09
  characters have been unaware that beyond the shores of this
• 42:12
  great continent, a larger and stranger world was waiting to be
• 42:16
  explored. We tease this world with the
• 42:19
  expanded map view shown here. Currently, those new lands are
• 42:23
  dark and unfocused. But as we enter our next big
• 42:26
  story arc for Mythic Legions, these lands will begin to come
• 42:30
  to focus as we meet new characters, new creatures, new
• 42:34
  factions, new races, and new locations in this expanded world
• 42:39
  of Mythos. Stay tuned, we're just getting
• 42:43
  started with Story of Mythic Legions.
• 42:47
  Holy smokes just getting started. 200 odd figures.
• 42:52
  Stuff like this makes me so excited.
• 42:53
  It's just like, yes, they're expanding everything.
• 42:58
  Look at the map there in the middle is what we know that kind
• 43:01
  of bit and all the other places are bigger nearly.
• 43:05
  Yeah. Pieces of land.
• 43:07
  What I what I would. Say in the ocean.
• 43:10
  Is that the mythos? The seafarers Mythos should be
• 43:13
  shamed themselves. If they haven't found any of
• 43:14
  those continents, they're not that far away.
• 43:22
  Yeah, that's true. So and what do we think is
• 43:27
  coming next? So we had obviously Ashes of Egg
• 43:30
  Bendor kind of told us a little bit of where we are and we had
• 43:36
  the the Legion, the G Khan Wave, Basilia and all those guys.
• 43:45
  Yeah, I'm, I'm presuming we're not going to get an Ashes of
• 43:47
  Bendor equivalent this year just because the Dragon's pretty much
• 43:51
  taken all that money, hasn't it? It's the same price as as that a
• 43:54
  big wave would have been. So I presume they're going to
• 43:57
  ease off people a little bit and not do that.
• 44:00
  So you think the next thing is a figure, obscure and major?
• 44:04
  Figure obscure, yeah. So.
• 44:06
  Maybe no cosmic smaller cosmic wave and then legions come.
• 44:10
  According to our friend Kevin Boots, the second weekend in May
• 44:14
  has been the last couple of years for the Figura.
• 44:17
  So that's something to to look out for if they stay on track
• 44:22
  for that. So, but I think because they
• 44:27
  posted this they they are going to do an interim.
• 44:31
  Wave Yeah, it seems funny that they would just post this
• 44:34
  randomly if it's not going to lead to something more.
• 44:37
  Maybe I'm just going to. Say sorry.
• 44:42
  Man, I'm just going to say thinking of the interim wave,
• 44:44
  they reuse the parts a lot, don't they?
• 44:46
  Was if this sort of like new races and new that and the
• 44:49
  other. They can't just do one full of
• 44:51
  reused parts because it's like, well, it's the same.
• 44:57
  Yeah, I was going to say so maybe it is just because all the
• 45:01
  Legions con stuff has started up.
• 45:04
  They just wanted to remind people of grid Legions con
• 45:10
  because it could. This is it could be that this
• 45:13
  leads to the story of the wave that we're getting at Legions
• 45:17
  con content. Yeah.
• 45:18
  Well, it, well, it does. We know it does because Jeremy
• 45:21
  hinted that it did last year. So.
• 45:23
  Yeah, I think we get some figures done then in the next
• 45:28
  couple of months. Yeah, yeah.
• 45:31
  I mean, it's either cosmic or mythic, so.
• 45:33
  Oh yeah, we're definitely getting some wave or something
• 45:35
  in the next few months. So definitely, But I just wait.
• 45:38
  I, I would, I, I I wouldn't be surprised if it's more like an
• 45:41
  ashes of AG Bendor wave. And this is more in reference to
• 45:45
  Legions con. I don't know.
• 45:47
  We'll find out. Unless they're really sneaky and
• 45:51
  people in the First Great War or whatever somehow got transported
• 45:55
  to one of the other other continents.
• 45:59
  So you've got characters from the first Great War game and
• 46:02
  they landed here and their descendants or wherever ever.
• 46:05
  So you could reuse the the sort of mythos parts as it were.
• 46:09
  Where we do, we don't have characters from far away lands,
• 46:13
  don't we? We have Zende.
• 46:17
  Is it Zende isn't? Barbarian guy as well.
• 46:21
  Yeah. Rhaegar.
• 46:21
  Yeah, it's from a different land.
• 46:25
  Could build out the snake troops here.
• 46:27
  Rich, I see. I'm trying not to say that
• 46:29
  because I don't want to curse it, but yes, more snakes.
• 46:31
  Lots of more snakes. It feels like though that was
• 46:34
  sort of being suggested as like the origins of mythos though,
• 46:37
  wasn't it? The snakes?
• 46:39
  And but yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.
• 46:47
  I do think that we get something.
• 46:48
  It'll be, yeah, some reuse, but maybe some parts that they have
• 46:52
  already tuned, you know, along with the other stuff.
• 46:55
  This is in the head so. You know.
• 46:59
  They wouldn't have such an extensive library note.
• 47:01
  They wouldn't need too much. Maybe a couple of heads, maybe a
• 47:05
  couple of small things to change, like belts or little
• 47:08
  pieces that kind of attached to the shoulder to give a different
• 47:12
  look or stuff like that. And there's still got lots of
• 47:17
  parts suddenly that they've previewed in like Rising Suns or
• 47:21
  Raining the beasts, but they haven't actually reduced.
• 47:23
  So technically you still haven't got them.
• 47:25
  It is a new part you just don't have.
• 47:26
  It, but it would be reuse and we wouldn't.
• 47:29
  We wouldn't necessarily see it as reuse yet because we haven't
• 47:32
  got the parts in. Funnily enough, I do get this
• 47:37
  feeling that some of the new stuff we're going to get is
• 47:41
  going to be more Asian inspired armour and that a lot more of
• 47:46
  that going on. Yeah, and.
• 47:51
  Then yeah, if you think, if you think of what figure obscure
• 47:54
  stuff they haven't reused, you know, that could all come into
• 47:57
  it. And if they were to do 1 of
• 47:59
  Monkey's companions, that would give you more Asian armour
• 48:03
  potentially. And then you've got the the
• 48:04
  tooling done for that, so that could then be used.
• 48:07
  Yeah, yeah, just here they were talking about on the Cabal.
• 48:13
  What do you think for the next figure Obscura And he said COO
• 48:16
  Cullen that which is an Irish legend.
• 48:21
  He's the guy that slaid the dog with the stick.
• 48:26
  OK. And the like a stone whatever.
• 48:31
  So he that would be a cool one. Then you get your big kind of
• 48:36
  wolf, really slate as a wolf. You know me and dogs which?
• 48:41
  I know if we get in a wolf, it better be Red Riding Hood and
• 48:45
  the wolf in the mind concolin that.
• 48:47
  Would be cool. Yeah, I think that's more
• 48:50
  likely. It's got probably a wider
• 48:51
  appeal, let's be honest. Yeah, Wolf on the window, Jay
• 48:57
  the Cackler body. So we're getting that werewolf
• 49:00
  kind of look. That'd be cool.
• 49:03
  I don't know, sculpted that they'll have their cloak.
• 49:06
  No, probably not. Yeah, it's true, but what other?
• 49:12
  I'd like, I'd like them to do so back if they're going to do an
• 49:14
  Egyptian God again, The crocodile God.
• 49:17
  Crocodile. Yeah.
• 49:19
  Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
• 49:20
  I'd love that as the next one. So all the, I can't remember the
• 49:26
  God's name, but it's the the whore, the the bird.
• 49:29
  It's like a hornbill, the God's name.
• 49:33
  But yeah, that again would be a really cool one as well, sort of
• 49:35
  thing. And get people, you know, people
• 49:37
  have been craving birds something, and there's lots to
• 49:39
  talk about, you know, get ether on.
• 49:41
  But they said they're going to get ether on back.
• 49:43
  But there's lots to talk about birds as well.
• 49:44
  So that would be a good way to get some of that in.
• 49:47
  Yeah, we could be getting maybe that's the next announcement,
• 49:51
  auto and the like. I mean what to come after a
• 49:53
  dragon is auto maybe? Because they were suggesting
• 49:57
  that 2 figure wave or a small wave, weren't they?
• 50:00
  A very small wave. Oh.
• 50:02
  What if, What if Etheron got banished to one of the other
• 50:05
  continents? That's where he disappeared at
• 50:07
  the end of the first great age. So you go, here's Etheron 2.0
• 50:13
  and he's on the continent of Sandacia looking at that sand
• 50:17
  coloured one on the screen. There you go for us.
• 50:21
  Then you can have that one for. Free.
• 50:22
  Yeah, have that one. No problem at all.
• 50:23
  I'm not copyright in that. Does that sandy thing look like
• 50:27
  a Bunny? Yeah, now you've said it.
• 50:31
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 50:33
  It's like a sandcastle. It's like sticking up.
• 50:35
  Curious. Well, I mean, you can't see
• 50:38
  where the mouse is, but on the bottom left corner on the bottom
• 50:42
  of that island, there's like little white.
• 50:45
  It might just be snow, but it's funny that they're in in the
• 50:49
  streaks like that. When the when the map was
• 50:53
  lightened up a lot, all across. I'm pointing at the screens.
• 50:56
  Well, you can't see media either, but all across the top,
• 50:58
  above the snowy part of Mythos was all ice and snow.
• 51:02
  Yeah, almost as if there was a whole sort of thing around all
• 51:05
  the other continents again. Well, this is not a Flat Earth,
• 51:08
  I guess you know, no. Is it?
• 51:13
  Is it on the back of a turtle in space?
• 51:15
  That's. Do you know what it's it's
• 51:19
  Geekeeper. What I'm looking forward to
• 51:20
  almost more than the figures is how they're going to wreck on
• 51:22
  the law around this. Because at the moment the law
• 51:26
  doesn't make any sense at all in terms of mythos being a
• 51:29
  continent rather than a wider thing.
• 51:31
  And Jeremy and Eric are really good at it, so they'll do a
• 51:33
  great job of it. But I'm, I'm, I'm so excited for
• 51:36
  the law almost more than the figures.
• 51:37
  It's like, how are you going to do it?
• 51:38
  How are you going to do it? Tell me, how are you going to
• 51:40
  make this work? That there's two gods, but they
• 51:42
  only did a continent and they weren't bothered about the rest
• 51:44
  of the planet and that sort of thing.
• 51:45
  It's like, tell me, tell me. Well, maybe.
• 51:48
  Maybe they're not actually gods, they were just perceived as
• 51:52
  gods. You're aliens.
• 51:58
  So we're pretty sure that legions Khan's going to be
• 52:01
  centered to sea, seafaring people, preachers, whatever.
• 52:05
  Yeah, Jeremy got a massive hint, didn't he, about Set say, Oh
• 52:08
  yeah, the top of my list is shark folk.
• 52:12
  It's like we need shark folk. I I just think it's probably
• 52:18
  going to be more realistic than shark folk, but who knows.
• 52:21
  Well, somebody said pirates and somebody said pirates, and
• 52:24
  Jeremy's response was pirates and mythos aren't anything like
• 52:27
  what we regard as pirates and what pirates look.
• 52:30
  Like they're not going to see it.
• 52:32
  He's just warning people they're not going to get the pirates
• 52:34
  they think they're going to get. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 52:37
  So I mean, so you know, a pirate for instance, a crap pirate, a
• 52:41
  squid, just. Dressed up as Knights.
• 52:46
  Get all the pirates in mythos. Where chainmail.
• 52:50
  Are you sure you're not trying to reuse parts?
• 52:57
  Conan was a sailor as well, wasn't he?
• 52:59
  That was one of the things he did.
• 53:00
  He was a pirate as well. No, what what I have to say is
• 53:04
  that that dwarf 2 packs coming, why not start reusing those
• 53:08
  parts? Yes, Yep, More, more.
• 53:12
  Little that's coming shortly after Rising Suns or whatever.
• 53:17
  No. Maybe smaller way.
• 53:18
  The whole continent of dwarves would be amazing.
• 53:21
  Or in me out here, do a smaller thigh gnomes so you have big
• 53:26
  bulky torsos using the dwarf beds and then just smaller
• 53:28
  thighs and you've got gnomes. Or you know, if you're going to
• 53:33
  the icier parts here, maybe something like the equivalent of
• 53:37
  Inuits or would have called Eskimos that type of.
• 53:42
  I mean, that's a bit boring, John.
• 53:43
  I'd suggest SEAL Warriors, Yetis, that sort of stuff.
• 53:48
  But yeah, you know, if you want to be boring, then yes, let's
• 53:50
  get some Inuits in. Yeah, no insulting to any Inuit
• 53:53
  listeners who may have. Yeah, yeah, Rich calls Inuits
• 53:58
  boring. Yeah, sorry, my imagination
• 54:04
  doesn't stretch as far as yours. So yeah.
• 54:07
  But it just shows exciting times.
• 54:11
  I can't wait for much potential that stuff to come up.
• 54:15
  And we also got this little teaser.
• 54:20
  I've just thought one more thing actually for the big amount the
• 54:24
  the recent tariff thing with a herd and Marshall Islands and
• 54:27
  Penguins getting tariffed, maybe we got Penguin warriors storming
• 54:32
  beaches and mythos. I would absolutely love Penguin
• 54:35
  Warriors. That would be cool.
• 54:39
  I think I'd prefer them in cosmic though, because you can
• 54:41
  give them like like little bombs and stuff and armor, you know.
• 54:47
  I don't know about medieval style Penguins.
• 54:49
  I think I'd prefer, you know, tech tech tech warrior Penguins
• 54:56
  and legions Khan November 8th to 9th, 2025.
• 54:59
  But it's not really November 8th to 9th.
• 55:02
  It's more like November 6th to 10th.
• 55:06
  Yeah, yeah. As a minimum.
• 55:08
  As you're going if you're going to do it, so yeah, because.
• 55:12
  October the 27th or whatever the Purple Gang gang are going on.
• 55:16
  Yeah, yes, exactly. Yeah.
• 55:20
  If you want to be on the Purple Gang Gang show the week before
• 55:23
  lesions come, then you need to go to New Jersey then.
• 55:29
  So if it follows the usual course, it would be November 6
• 55:35
  for intern, November 7th for G Con, and then 8th and 9th is the
• 55:41
  show where there's all the tables.
• 55:43
  You can buy your stuff, you can buy your figures.
• 55:45
  Probably drop like the Indian. See the special drop possibly
• 55:50
  again also the Nature's Gone exclusive, such I'm sure they'll
• 55:55
  do. The legendary barbarian.
• 55:57
  We already know We'll be there. Yeah, he'll.
• 55:58
  Be there as well. That's right.
• 56:00
  Yeah. So if they'll do something on
• 56:01
  top to him, yeah, he's a cool figure.
• 56:03
  Rich, you can. Do something on top.
• 56:06
  I've already arranged that someone can pick me one up and
• 56:08
  not just seem buying once I'm good.
• 56:12
  We'll catch you, don't worry. Crinkling the box as you're
• 56:15
  trying to sneak it in your bag. I'm.
• 56:17
  Going to be coming home with a bunch of them if I can.
• 56:20
  So we're all booked up from the 5th to the 10th.
• 56:24
  I think it is the Wednesday, flying on the Wednesday, going
• 56:28
  back on the 10th and hopefully we won't have any trouble at the
• 56:32
  border. Hear more and more horror
• 56:35
  stories. So fingers crossed, going to
• 56:38
  take the chance anyway. Oh.
• 56:40
  Absolutely. I mean, I've nothing to not to
• 56:43
  hide. I've never done anything
• 56:46
  remotely other than vanilla in my life so.
• 56:49
  Yeah, that's I meant. So, but you never know, you know
• 56:53
  that I've just heard stories, I guess my biggest Sorry, Richard.
• 57:00
  I know you got your fringed on this one.
• 57:03
  Yeah, I guess my biggest fear is they'd be just giving us the the
• 57:08
  Spanish Inquisition on, you know, why we're going to this
• 57:10
  con every year. That's your biggest fear?
• 57:13
  My name was Rubber Glove and a cavity search.
• 57:15
  Yeah. I mean, that would lead, that
• 57:17
  would lead from that, you know? Yeah.
• 57:19
  But I just can't believe we're even talking about this is a
• 57:21
  possibility, you know, and but tourism is down apparently
• 57:27
  already there. Yeah, I.
• 57:31
  Already heard from here that like that's a rich because it's
• 57:34
  tiny country, but it's rich like lots of people on the Easter
• 57:38
  break would go to America to Disneyland all that kind of
• 57:40
  stuff article in the paper yesterday like hardly the amount
• 57:46
  of people travelling to America has dropped off a Cliff which is
• 57:49
  crazy like it's. Again through customs.
• 57:54
  Quicker then. That's true there.
• 57:57
  Might like should have held out longer for a cheaper flight.
• 58:01
  Yeah, although I think they got at the same price as last year,
• 58:05
  so I can't really complain at. The moment it's £60 more than
• 58:08
  last year for me. So I'm like do I go cheap and
• 58:11
  try and hang on and try and wait a little bit or do I just get
• 58:13
  one now? I'm also going to do a mile this
• 58:15
  year I think as well and stay stay over the night before in a
• 58:18
  hotel by Heathrow. Oh, OK.
• 58:20
  A bit less stressful today itself and if I do have lots of
• 58:23
  delays then I'm still in a decent time rather than getting
• 58:25
  into the hotel at 1:00 AM like last year.
• 58:27
  Yeah, yeah, it does make a difference.
• 58:30
  The euro or the dollar, Pound is down a lot, so pound is up
• 58:35
  against the dollar. Get your dollars or book your
• 58:40
  stuff in dollars already pay for it.
• 58:44
  So that's an interesting phenomenon.
• 58:48
  And the hotel sold out already, didn't it?
• 58:50
  Yeah, which is insane. It's months last time and it's
• 58:54
  gone in like 4 days this year. Yeah, Yeah.
• 58:58
  Well, you know, people, there was a lot of people like we were
• 59:01
  the first year before we went sitting at home looking at the
• 59:04
  the pictures and the groups and maybe listening to shows like
• 59:08
  ours and go, OK, I'm not missing that I really need to go next
• 59:11
  year. And especially if you're, you
• 59:14
  know if you can get there easily enough.
• 59:17
  Oh, yeah, it's such a thing. I mean, the three, I think the
• 59:19
  three of us said a few times, I mean, it's a, you know, it's the
• 59:22
  experience of a lifetime in terms of toy collecting.
• 59:25
  You know, you're never going to see anything else like this.
• 59:28
  Yeah. So it's.
• 59:29
  Just for the stuff that we're into, you know, yeah.
• 59:31
  So just take the chance and go. You know, if you're into Star
• 59:35
  Wars, yeah, go to Star Wars Celebration, one of those
• 59:37
  things. But yeah, with this kind of
• 59:40
  stuff for if you're especially we're into small independent
• 59:44
  artists, creators, plus a couple of cool, you know, big things
• 59:50
  like Legions being the biggest. But you've got stuff like
• 59:55
  Valoverse was there last year, He's legendary guys.
• 59:58
  They'll have their figures I'm sure, probably for sale this
• 1:00:01
  year. And yeah, the a walk you had all
• 1:00:06
  the glia stuff, which seems to be growing year by year in terms
• 1:00:10
  of different people from the Legions community are getting
• 1:00:13
  into it more now. And there was always a cohort,
• 1:00:15
  but it seems to be even more mainstream though, so.
• 1:00:19
  If only Jeremy DeWitt had told us about it sooner.
• 1:00:21
  But no, we had to run our own Pete finding out about it.
• 1:00:24
  Yeah, it just shows the power of marketing and with someone that
• 1:00:29
  he knows how to to market stuff and which is why I wonder why
• 1:00:35
  he's a fire captain, but he's so good at marketing.
• 1:00:41
  Little elephants in the room here the the line at the 2 lines
• 1:00:46
  at the top of the poster. There was some discussion in the
• 1:00:51
  Cabal about this. I didn't look at it because I
• 1:00:53
  didn't want to steal anyone's takes for for for what I think
• 1:00:59
  it might be. But yeah, enter the crossroads.
• 1:01:02
  Choose your path. So how are we going to have all
• 1:01:08
  these mystery doors now in regions gone?
• 1:01:12
  I'll be honest, I was really disappointed in Jeremy at this
• 1:01:14
  point. I thought me and Jeremy had
• 1:01:16
  agreed to keep this a secret for now, but what it what it is, is
• 1:01:20
  choose the path to riches, fine art prints or don't.
• 1:01:24
  But he spoiled it by pointing up already.
• 1:01:26
  So shame on you, Jeremy. That's terrible.
• 1:01:32
  Can't believe you met the poster.
• 1:01:33
  That's good. Yeah, I know.
• 1:01:35
  Going up in the world. Next he'll be on it is one of
• 1:01:38
  the the this what is it? The 6th Horseman now based.
• 1:01:41
  Dave Pete's the 4th. So man, let's assume for like
• 1:01:47
  just a moment that Rich might be talking shite and.
• 1:01:51
  So what do? You think it might be?
• 1:01:54
  So the, oh, the thing that came to mind for me immediately was
• 1:02:00
  in terms of a is the Devil at the Crossroads and the the story
• 1:02:06
  of I've actually had to bring it up to remind me of the name
• 1:02:10
  Robert Johnson, who made a deal with the Devil at the crossroads
• 1:02:13
  to become a successful musician. So is it So I was like, well, is
• 1:02:19
  it going to be something to do with Celine and Helios and you
• 1:02:23
  choose the good or the bad and that sort of thing before we
• 1:02:28
  progress on to, you know, the other or as rich as
• 1:02:32
  interestingly raised. How will they explain Celine and
• 1:02:35
  Helios moving? Forward with Mythos it could
• 1:02:40
  certainly be. Pick a good option or an evil.
• 1:02:42
  Option, couldn't it? I don't know.
• 1:02:45
  I don't. I think the choose your
• 1:02:46
  crossroad, choose your path could be a, you know, it's a
• 1:02:49
  poetic. I don't think they're
• 1:02:50
  necessarily going to make you choose a path or anything.
• 1:02:53
  So yeah, that's what came to mind.
• 1:02:56
  Like if it was, if it was like the Armory this year, but maybe
• 1:03:02
  just one side of the Armory is is like in your example, like
• 1:03:07
  good guys and the other side is evil guys.
• 1:03:10
  Then you have to choose one side to go down, for example.
• 1:03:13
  Yeah. That's what I was thinking, or
• 1:03:15
  the one thing I did see on the Cabal, and it makes sense, is
• 1:03:18
  one side of the Armoury's Cosmic One's mythic.
• 1:03:22
  Right. And choose which side to go down
• 1:03:24
  and. Then you choose and then which
• 1:03:26
  you've chosen, you go back in and choose the other side.
• 1:03:29
  So they haven't really chosen you've done, but yeah.
• 1:03:32
  There's not. There's not much of A choice
• 1:03:33
  really, is it? It's like, which one are you
• 1:03:34
  going to do first? Yeah, you get, you get there on
• 1:03:39
  your 11th turn. It's like which one am I going
• 1:03:41
  to do six of which am I going to do 5 off?
• 1:03:48
  Yeah, interesting. So my other thought on this, it
• 1:03:52
  sounds a bit dungeons and dragon knee.
• 1:03:57
  Yes, yeah, yeah. And OK, we do have the tabletop
• 1:04:02
  game, yeah, but maybe we have some sort of something related
• 1:04:07
  to that. That's not a bad felt.
• 1:04:13
  Maybe extra characters or, I don't know, beasts that you can
• 1:04:20
  play in the game with. It's that's, that's my other
• 1:04:26
  thought on it, but I just, I want to keep an open mind in it.
• 1:04:33
  Yeah, but I'd find it definitely exciting that they're already
• 1:04:36
  teasing. The picture they've used, is
• 1:04:38
  that from something else? That looks like.
• 1:04:43
  I couldn't remember or not. It's not the graveyard skeletons
• 1:04:47
  is it? Is it?
• 1:04:48
  It's the regular Legion builder 2 maybe?
• 1:04:53
  OK, I'm not. Sure.
• 1:04:55
  That you see, I think I've seen people sort of trying to
• 1:04:57
  scrutinize the image and I'm not sure that's particularly
• 1:05:04
  referent the relevant in that. So I think that's just a cool
• 1:05:07
  image that Trevor's taken to be the backing for this, for these
• 1:05:12
  pictures, because there's two different ones we've seen so
• 1:05:14
  far, isn't. It was indeed.
• 1:05:18
  So yeah, I think it's going to be fun to find out.
• 1:05:25
  I don't know when we'd find out. Probably much closer to the
• 1:05:27
  time. I guess they don't want to put
• 1:05:31
  it out there too, so that's for sure.
• 1:05:33
  If they were really mean, it could be choose your path.
• 1:05:35
  Do you get in the main 4 horsemen queue or would you get
• 1:05:38
  in the Armory queue and there's a limited run of figures that
• 1:05:41
  may or may not be in the horsemen queue and limited run
• 1:05:43
  of parts that may or may not in the Armory and you choose?
• 1:05:47
  Do we want? I mean, it would turn up, but do
• 1:05:49
  we want anyone to turn up at our table at any point to do this?
• 1:05:53
  Yeah, that's a terrible idea for us, but the evil part me would
• 1:05:57
  would quite chuckle at that. People losing their minds.
• 1:06:00
  And I know we got invited last year very kindly by Jeremy to
• 1:06:06
  intern. I assume that that was the 10th
• 1:06:10
  anniversary thing. So are any of you going to apply
• 1:06:14
  this year? Yeah, I'm going to give it a go.
• 1:06:16
  I'm going to apply for definitely.
• 1:06:18
  Give it a go. Absolutely.
• 1:06:21
  I mean, last year I was like, oh, you know, I've been already
• 1:06:23
  once. Is it worth it?
• 1:06:24
  But I've really enjoyed the whole day.
• 1:06:26
  Yeah, You know, there was, there was nothing that was repeated.
• 1:06:30
  You know, obviously Eric Sessions, brand new.
• 1:06:33
  I got to go. The different painter, although
• 1:06:35
  Nate was doing the similar sort of stuff, it was very different.
• 1:06:38
  Trevor's was set. It was very different to how he
• 1:06:40
  had did the previous year sort of thing.
• 1:06:42
  So there's always new stuff to say.
• 1:06:46
  Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm going to play.
• 1:06:49
  I think I'll just take the decision when that comes out.
• 1:06:57
  Probably not though. Then I think I'll just leave it
• 1:07:01
  to fake. So what if me or Mal get it and
• 1:07:03
  they say well the three of you can come, would you be
• 1:07:05
  interested then or? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
• 1:07:11
  Also, we'll be like, John didn't want to come.
• 1:07:15
  It is like £300 for the for the column, you know, And on one
• 1:07:24
  level it might be nice to chill on Thursday and do something
• 1:07:27
  else. But yeah, it would also be shit
• 1:07:30
  to miss it so. That's the thing, isn't it?
• 1:07:32
  I mean, I'm flying in Wednesday. I mean, we're all well mile, you
• 1:07:35
  might go a bit earlier, but John and you and I are going on
• 1:07:37
  Wednesday, aren't you? So if we don't get onto the
• 1:07:40
  intern thing, then it's just a day of chilling, which to be
• 1:07:43
  honest, is not a bad way to start.
• 1:07:45
  Do some, do some, do something in the morning.
• 1:07:47
  Podcast content, yeah, for the do.
• 1:07:49
  Something in the morning and then just start drinking about
• 1:07:52
  two in the afternoon with everybody that's there already
• 1:07:53
  and just just go for it. Do like a 2 hour gym session in
• 1:07:57
  the morning and then that will allow us to drink the whole day
• 1:07:59
  then. I buy family laughing them they
• 1:08:02
  put the hotel up and I think it was it.
• 1:08:05
  Oh, he was it. Someone did a spoof thing
• 1:08:08
  saying, oh, that the the pool is really good and obviously they
• 1:08:11
  don't have a pool. Yeah, Kent did.
• 1:08:13
  Yeah. So I sort of, I was like, that's
• 1:08:15
  fake, but I'm going to have to Google the hotel anyway.
• 1:08:18
  And it said a fitness center. I said.
• 1:08:19
  I said my wife was like, there's a gym there.
• 1:08:21
  I never knew that. And she's like, really.
• 1:08:23
  Well, that's a shock. Yeah, couldn't have, couldn't
• 1:08:28
  have told you there is AI think toy bro, maybe he goes to the
• 1:08:34
  gym. I think they're kind of seen
• 1:08:37
  him. I remember seeing him post
• 1:08:38
  workout down in the lobby. I said, jeez, I couldn't.
• 1:08:44
  I couldn't, man. Even if I was a fitness guy, I
• 1:08:46
  couldn't manage doing it on this weekend.
• 1:08:49
  If I'm there Thursday with nothing to do what I'm going to
• 1:08:51
  do, I'm going to set up a little tea booth in the in the lobby.
• 1:08:54
  Try and convert the Americans to proper hot tea rather than the
• 1:08:58
  sweet cold stuff that they seem to drink.
• 1:09:01
  You'd have to ask the hotel. There, you're kind.
• 1:09:03
  Of obviously, yes, yeah, there's no, I'm just going to rock up
• 1:09:05
  and just like, yeah, start my little business in there.
• 1:09:08
  They could, yeah. Like they don't do room sales at
• 1:09:12
  at legions can you know, like they do at other cons maybe, but
• 1:09:15
  didn't be just Rich's tea room. Tea room.
• 1:09:18
  It will be given away. Free.
• 1:09:19
  Just to clarify, I'm not going to charge any money for any of
• 1:09:21
  this. It's like.
• 1:09:22
  Yeah, if you're converting people, you're not going to be
• 1:09:24
  able to sell it. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 1:09:28
  So that's legions can more to come on that.
• 1:09:31
  We'll obviously do a little bit of episodes running up to it
• 1:09:36
  like we always do upcoming events.
• 1:09:39
  Then that's the last thing in it and that's that maybe gives us
• 1:09:45
  some indication of what's going on.
• 1:09:48
  Ishkhan, I saw this year is mid-May.
• 1:09:51
  Last year it was start of August 3rd or something.
• 1:09:55
  That's when they did the cosmic reveal.
• 1:09:56
  So I guess there won't be a cosmic reveal this year in
• 1:09:59
  Ishkhan. Oh yeah, yeah, it.
• 1:10:02
  Seems a bit too early, doesn't it?
• 1:10:04
  Because I think they were talking about making sure that
• 1:10:06
  they have the first ox crew waving before they do another
• 1:10:09
  big cosmic thing. Yeah.
• 1:10:13
  So the next one is shop to curiosity.
• 1:10:18
  I know, sorry, I have these backwards.
• 1:10:20
  How do they do that? OK, the next one's toy con New
• 1:10:22
  Jersey. So that's the weekend after
• 1:10:25
  Easter. Chicago Toy show is also that
• 1:10:28
  weekend. And that would be my wife's
• 1:10:30
  going to kill me with I think a couple of people from the
• 1:10:33
  studio. I think one boy is going to that
• 1:10:36
  with Travis. So it'd be fun.
• 1:10:41
  Lee Valley Toy Show, Eastern Pennsylvania.
• 1:10:45
  So that's quite close to them. And so I'm sure there'll be a
• 1:10:50
  good presence there from the Horsemen.
• 1:10:52
  The West Coast Mythic meet up 3rd of May in California.
• 1:11:00
  I saw Curtis posted he's going to that.
• 1:11:02
  So Curtis is making the trip out West and he put up APSA for
• 1:11:09
  people that if they were going now that to know that he's going
• 1:11:12
  so they can cancel. It's actually what he said.
• 1:11:16
  I'm not just yet. Whereabouts in California is he?
• 1:11:22
  Citrus, Citrus. I have no idea what that is.
• 1:11:25
  I think if it was a Layway sort of thing, then there's that.
• 1:11:28
  Was it Frankincense? A massive toy warehouse thing?
• 1:11:31
  7700 Sunrise Blvd. I mean I saw a street there last
• 1:11:36
  week where there was a house up to #70 and I nearly crashed the
• 1:11:39
  car because I've never seen that before. 7700 on one St. in the
• 1:11:48
  neighborhood. Unless they start to like 7000
• 1:11:51
  even then. Imagine if you're looking for
• 1:11:53
  somewhere and you get on there and it's #1 and you've got to
• 1:11:54
  get 7. Oh yeah.
• 1:11:57
  Where's the airport? Yeah, my goodness.
• 1:12:03
  And then? If you hit 200 in the UK it
• 1:12:05
  would be an exceptionally long road so.
• 1:12:09
  Shop the Curiosity, May 10th. So that's in Connecticut.
• 1:12:16
  I think that's close to Jeremy. That'd be right.
• 1:12:20
  Yeah, Connecticut's next day. We're from Rhode Island, I
• 1:12:22
  think. So there's also Ishkhan we
• 1:12:25
  talked about. So I'm sure there'll be
• 1:12:27
  something to do with Ishkhan and the Horseman panel like they did
• 1:12:32
  probably before. Maybe some figure reveals, not
• 1:12:36
  sure now but maybe Or figure obscure maybe something like
• 1:12:40
  that Maryland toy Expo in guess where?
• 1:12:46
  Maryland, Maryland, again, that's that's really close for
• 1:12:49
  the horsemen too. That's the next state down, so.
• 1:12:51
  June 14th and then Joe Fest June 22nd in Augusta in Georgia,
• 1:12:57
  which just had probably the best golf tournament I've ever
• 1:13:00
  watched on television last weekend.
• 1:13:01
  So that's a that is a little soft spot in my heart.
• 1:13:07
  Augusta, GA. I get there one the year for
• 1:13:09
  that I'm sure When I can't afford to go to Legions Con I've
• 1:13:14
  gone to the Masters instead. That's when you go crazy, John.
• 1:13:17
  You do the Masters and then Legions Con and the mythic meets
• 1:13:21
  up on the West Coast and just like, yeah, this year I'm just
• 1:13:23
  going to travel to every mythic and golf tournament I.
• 1:13:25
  Got to get tickets for it and if you do then it's you've probably
• 1:13:29
  been an agent like thousands of. Course.
• 1:13:32
  Yeah, yeah. But I think it's probably worth
• 1:13:34
  it once in your. Have you ever seen a
• 1:13:36
  professional tournament live? Oh, yeah.
• 1:13:38
  Yeah, yeah. They took good viewers younger
• 1:13:42
  but the last time I went to was in 2016 Irish Open or McIlroy
• 1:13:46
  and to see him properly flesh so followed him around.
• 1:13:50
  Yeah, I did the Welsh Open, Welsh Open many years ago.
• 1:13:53
  That was a good fun day. I enjoyed that.
• 1:13:56
  Yeah, it's, you know, I'm not, I'm not bad at golf, but when
• 1:14:00
  you see these guys up close, you're like, well.
• 1:14:03
  For anyone that doesn't know, John plays off 1 handicap.
• 1:14:06
  When he says he's not bad, he's an effing liar.
• 1:14:08
  That's extremely good. Going up now it'd be closer to
• 1:14:12
  3, so that would be probably more manageable.
• 1:14:16
  Can go tomorrow to play in the peeing of rain enjoyment.
• 1:14:21
  Why didn't cancel but Sinaby and I'm starting to get sick so
• 1:14:26
  that's just the perfect combination.
• 1:14:28
  Oh, there we go. Lovely.
• 1:14:31
  So that's the crack next week I think we'll talk about those
• 1:14:33
  BIOS from the two newer and we talk about the figures as well.
• 1:14:38
  But the two new factions I saw that Arzak has moved over from
• 1:14:43
  poxes to one of those factions. So interesting thing to talk
• 1:14:47
  about. Have a look, yeah.
• 1:14:49
  Yeah, he's one of the same one as Ray Gore.
• 1:14:56
  Yeah, yeah. Not not.
• 1:14:58
  Yeah, yeah. Sector, yeah.
• 1:15:02
  You need to get that pronunciation right for next
• 1:15:03
  week. Should be probably right for
• 1:15:07
  this week, but that's it. That's the crack lads.
• 1:15:10
  That's for me. Bill, what's happening this.
• 1:15:13
  Week I sent you guys a picture. Didn't know earlier that I've
• 1:15:16
  slipped into vampires in other lines too now, so I've got the
• 1:15:19
  vampire joker from MacFarlane. Which is really good.
• 1:15:23
  So there's only about half a dozen figures, so I'll I'll pick
• 1:15:26
  up the rest of those. And there's the cool GI jaw drop
• 1:15:28
  recently. Yes, yes, very cool.
• 1:15:31
  Yeah, Monkey Wrench, one of the best Dreadnocks.
• 1:15:34
  So that was that was awesome to have him.
• 1:15:37
  And I had to get that. I had to get that Cobra
• 1:15:40
  Commander with the silly armour because of the lizard.
• 1:15:46
  See that's not my cobra commander so I just see it clear
• 1:15:49
  him but. Yeah, I had got a little lizard.
• 1:15:51
  Yeah, it comes with an iguana that's meant to be Serpentor.
• 1:15:54
  Something like that. Apparently or some of the blood,
• 1:15:56
  the DNA that's used in Serpentor or something like that.
• 1:16:00
  But yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, I had him as a
• 1:16:03
  kid. That not the iguana, the Cobra
• 1:16:06
  Commander in the armour. And I always wanted the proper
• 1:16:09
  Cobra Commander. It was actually here you go.
• 1:16:12
  Here's a story of my youth and disappointment.
• 1:16:14
  Anyway, so I I got that metallic armoured Cobra Commander in the
• 1:16:19
  shops. You know, I bought him in the
• 1:16:20
  shops and then there was a mail away for the hooded version of
• 1:16:24
  Cobra Commander. So I did the mail away saved.
• 1:16:27
  I can't remember what it was. It must have been tokens or
• 1:16:30
  something like that. Save the mail away.
• 1:16:32
  Guess what turned up another one of the armoured Cobra Commander
• 1:16:38
  with a little note going oh, we're so sorry we all of the
• 1:16:42
  hooded Cobra Commanders have gone.
• 1:16:43
  But we hope you're really like this and he's like, you are
• 1:16:46
  shitting me. At least you brushed off Mal and
• 1:16:51
  didn't give it a second thought and haven't held a grudge.
• 1:16:53
  It's not on keys. Years yet it's not hurt me or
• 1:16:55
  plagued me since my use, no. Obviously.
• 1:16:58
  No, no, that's fine. There you go, people.
• 1:17:01
  You know you can't get hold of Cobra.
• 1:17:03
  All these people are a bit tramoan about the, you know,
• 1:17:05
  Dragons and expenses and whatever.
• 1:17:07
  They didn't suffer any real harsh pain with around toys in
• 1:17:12
  their youth, clearly. I still have flashbacks to being
• 1:17:18
  in a in a Woolworths. So for the UK listeners, that's
• 1:17:22
  a like a, a bit of everything stores their music, yeah.
• 1:17:27
  Or anyone not in the UK really. It's there was like music, toys,
• 1:17:31
  everyday, household stuff, bit of everything.
• 1:17:35
  And they had a, a big black box sort of stand thing just packed,
• 1:17:43
  absolutely packed with Star Wars figures for £0.99 each just to
• 1:17:47
  get rid of them because they couldn't sell them.
• 1:17:49
  And I remember being stood there and they had a power Droid which
• 1:17:51
  I didn't buy. And it was like as far as I was
• 1:17:53
  aware of that toy and it was only one I was missing.
• 1:17:55
  It turns out I was missing another character I didn't know
• 1:17:57
  about, but I saw flashbacks to that.
• 1:17:59
  It's like, Oh my God, all on card.
• 1:18:01
  It's like there's so much money sat in that bin and I just
• 1:18:05
  didn't. Nightmare, nightmare.
• 1:18:09
  And what's the plans for Easter then?
• 1:18:11
  You got people over or? Yeah, my brother, a sister or
• 1:18:14
  nephews are coming down on Easter Sunday, so on the day
• 1:18:17
  itself. So although the kids are 1213
• 1:18:19
  and 16, they will still happily partake in an Easter egg hunt
• 1:18:22
  around the garden because it's free chocolate, so they'll be
• 1:18:25
  all over that. Yeah, mine asked me are we
• 1:18:28
  doing? I just hadn't thought about it,
• 1:18:30
  though. Well, they're probably too old
• 1:18:31
  for it now. And they're like, no, yeah, I
• 1:18:34
  was like, OK, fine. Yeah, just mine's like she's 12,
• 1:18:37
  but she's like, if there's chocolate, I'm all over it.
• 1:18:40
  I'll believe in Bunny Easter bunnies, wherever you like.
• 1:18:42
  It's fine. Yeah, yeah, I'm cooking, I was
• 1:18:45
  told. So we'll have to see what
• 1:18:47
  happens. OK, I'd be drinking, and if my
• 1:18:51
  very large beer order from the other day arrives, I'll be
• 1:18:54
  drinking lots of sour beers. Yeah, I'm still, I still can't
• 1:18:58
  drink for another few weeks, so. Oh, sorry John, let's just
• 1:19:01
  forget I mentioned that then. Put out the the recycling
• 1:19:04
  collections every two weeks, actually rounding this episode
• 1:19:07
  off with garbage again. And I was very, very surprised
• 1:19:13
  how little bottles there was. I was like, oh God, this thing
• 1:19:18
  is nearly this little small basket.
• 1:19:20
  This is full of bottles normally and there's like there's a
• 1:19:23
  couple of legs of olive oil bottle, then maybe it's 11
• 1:19:27
  bottle of wine that my wife might have had with a friend.
• 1:19:31
  This part of the show is the is the deep cut for the people that
• 1:19:34
  hang on to the very bitter end. So let's let's let them go.
• 1:19:38
  Or just we had. Neighbors a couple of houses
• 1:19:40
  down that used to have just their their two recycling boxes
• 1:19:43
  rather than one full of cider cans every week.
• 1:19:46
  It's like, Oh my God, there's a drink problem there because
• 1:19:49
  that's a lot of cans in in those two boxes.
• 1:19:52
  Like here it's, it's a little bit old school here sometimes
• 1:19:55
  like you can, there is companies that deliver drinks to your
• 1:20:00
  house like anything you can get like cola, whatever, you know,
• 1:20:04
  in crates, in recyclable bottles.
• 1:20:07
  And then you just leave the crate out and then the next time
• 1:20:09
  they come, they take the crate with the bottles and you get the
• 1:20:13
  you get the money credited back. But yeah, so people do that.
• 1:20:16
  It's very handy. And like, you can get bottles of
• 1:20:18
  beer or whatever, but do sometimes see people and you're
• 1:20:20
  like, I hope they're having a party because otherwise that's a
• 1:20:24
  lot of beer. Yeah, love it.
• 1:20:29
  And you got into your folks. No, no, I'll, as I say, gonna
• 1:20:36
  watch WrestleMania on Saturday and Sunday night.
• 1:20:38
  There will be a lot of sleeping during the day.
• 1:20:41
  Well, who's the main match, Mel? I don't know which night is
• 1:20:45
  which, but it the title match is Cody Rhodes versus John Cena,
• 1:20:52
  Rock in his corner and the the match I'm.
• 1:20:55
  Really. I didn't realise these guys were
• 1:20:56
  still wrestling. I thought they had moved on to
• 1:20:59
  movies. The match I'm really.
• 1:21:01
  Looking forward to is is it on Netflix?
• 1:21:04
  Yes, yes. So on Netflix, which is great.
• 1:21:07
  I've I've got 2 episodes behind. I need to watch yesterday's Raw
• 1:21:11
  but last week Smackdown as well, but yeah.
• 1:21:15
  New Z or Mal? So it's Cody Rhodes versus John
• 1:21:17
  Cena. John Cena.
• 1:21:18
  And the other one is CM Punk versus Seth Rollins versus Roman
• 1:21:23
  Reigns, which should be an excellent match, at least story
• 1:21:25
  wise. Should be an excellent match.
• 1:21:27
  Yeah, Yeah. Should be fun.
• 1:21:30
  It's good. I'm really actually, but.
• 1:21:32
  But it's first time in a few years I've been really excited
• 1:21:36
  about WrestleMania and wrestling.
• 1:21:38
  They're doing a really good job with it at the moment.
• 1:21:40
  Yeah, yeah. It's really fun.
• 1:21:42
  It's a huge fan base. Some of the people we know in
• 1:21:48
  the community are fans. I believe they have Seals are
• 1:21:50
  fans and. Can I take this opportunity to
• 1:21:54
  put out a public service announcement too?
• 1:21:56
  To our listeners, if you're attempting to go and watch A
• 1:21:58
  Working Man, the latest Jason Statham film in the cinema or
• 1:22:01
  the theatre in America, don't. It is a pile of absolute shite.
• 1:22:06
  I love Jason Statham films no matter how bad they are.
• 1:22:09
  This plumbed new depths I didn't think possible.
• 1:22:12
  It was dreadful. So stay away from that.
• 1:22:16
  He was plunging with the plunger.
• 1:22:19
  I was sat there laughing in my head the last half an hour later
• 1:22:22
  and this is just stupid. This is so bad.
• 1:22:25
  I'm just can't concentrate. Even on the film, it's, oh, it's
• 1:22:28
  terrible. I love it.
• 1:22:31
  I love it. I'm sorry that you had to do
• 1:22:33
  that, but. It's alright.
• 1:22:34
  I mean, the cinema is always a getaway from me.
• 1:22:36
  It's always a switch your brain off sort of thing.
• 1:22:38
  But yeah, it's hard work when you only go see one film because
• 1:22:42
  what's not going to see 2? So to see one and then it's
• 1:22:44
  dreadful. At least if you're going to see
• 1:22:45
  two and one's dreadful, the other one normally isn't.
• 1:22:48
  So there's a bit of a comeback sort of thing, but it's fine.
• 1:22:52
  Yeah, we're finally catching up at Reacher.
• 1:22:56
  Oh. I love series 3 back on form.
• 1:22:59
  Series 3, Series 3. So good, yeah.
• 1:23:02
  I was really good. Series 2 was a bit underwhelming
• 1:23:05
  compared to series one. Series 3 is, but yeah, it was,
• 1:23:08
  yeah. But it was.
• 1:23:09
  Fine, wasn't it? Wasn't this engaging?
• 1:23:11
  This is like, I'm not even. I'm at no point even picking up
• 1:23:14
  my phone watching it. That's my.
• 1:23:15
  Gauge of sport so good. Yeah.
• 1:23:19
  So. No spoilers, just enjoy.
• 1:23:22
  So that's the crack. Anyway, we should probably
• 1:23:25
  finish this up. Thanks for listening, thanks for
• 1:23:31
  supporting us, and we'll be back.
• 1:23:36
  OK, so in that case, stay safe out there, everybody.
• 1:23:39
  If you see an enraged Jason Statham because he didn't like
• 1:23:41
  my review of the film, stay away from him.
• 1:23:43
  Stay safe.
