I never really got what the Jack-o-lantern disc was, and it wasn't until I tried to 'collect' the discs more seriously that I properly discovered it. It's brilliant, so much better than all the 'gliding' cloaks and wing discs. I love to use it with yoda, as it's like his repulsor-lift chair from the prequels! :) ( It's also like The Mekon's chair from Dan Dare. ) :)

Also, I don't know if you mentioned having Kylo Ren FX, but I bought him today as he's £6.99 in GAME ( UK ). They're even 3for2 if you wanted to trade or sell-on as spares and make a little dough to help the collection along.

oh and i still have a LOT of my eagle magazines, bought them from the start of the reissue up to the end, and the ONLY one i missed was the one with the action force figure, since i got my newsagent to keep them but we went on holiday and my mum always cancelled the orders for our magazines!

I started buying the re-issue, was it 1982? ( I was 9 ) The one with the 'space spinner' frisbee on the front. DOOMLORD gave me such the heebie-jeebies I didn't buy any more after the 1st issue! I had nightmares! ;)

I have no idea why I've posted a picture. It's all coming flooding back!!! :lol:

Oh and I love toybox speedway. I didn't do this, but a tip to collect the collectables in the stadium - Use a flying character, as you don't need to drive to collect them. It will save a lot of time not having to do boosted jumps and stuff.

Yeah my son tried all the vehicles to see if they changed. It's a pity something else doesn't happen to the non-wheeled or 2 wheeled vehicles - Like big bumpers or a spolier. And Gravity falls... with you there - watch the other racers and make sure you use the short-cuts. But It does take more skillful driving than any other I think. The last lap when the trees change near the end! You just have to persevere ( or get an 8 year old to do it for you! ). I was actually sad to see the end of Speedway when I completed it, as once the achievements are yours, the single player game doesn't seem to have much point any more. No Infinity game has much depth, but we're still playing Wii mario kart 8 years on still unlocking characters! :P

Yeah I still haven't committed. £25 for a 'dead' game, when I could put the money towards something else.

I haven't seen it reduced yet, but my local GAME store has removed all Infinity stock from store, not even reduced it, just gone...

I'm not gonna panic though, as I don't think it was just the hardcore buying Nemo and Dory. Second hand Nemo is about £8 at present, and i'm sure the light users will be selling their playsets and clearing out soon. Post-Christmas everything devalues and is cheaper to pick up.

I would think by then pre-owned Nemo and Dory will be about £5-8 each, and the playset pieces about a fiver.

Not sure who all is included but 3.0 figures are 3 for 2 in store sainsburys - works out at under £4 a figure which is the best uk deal at the minute
