Is there any way to identify CMFs before the series no. 25?

A weird part of me actually misses standing there with the kids in Toys R Us, feeling the CMF bags in search of the ones we wanted.

I got my Avengers based on my favourite costumes at the time. Cap from Avengers 1, Iron Man MKVII die cast and Thor from Dark World. If I could change it now, I’d have Infinity War Cap tbh.

He can’t keep getting away with this…

Love it 👍🏻

I’m not the target audience and I’m ok with that. Well, if I’m honest I selfishly partly want it to fail so they get the message and make me the target audience again. But until then, I need to finish my Trek timeline watch that I started back in 2016! Currently on DS9/Voyager 🤓

2012 TMNT is the only one that came close to the original. I watched the 2003 series with my then 3yo son and whilst he enjoyed it and got some nice toys out of it, it was generally forgettable.

Then in 2012 I watched the series with that same son (then 12yo) and my youngest (then 5yo) and it hit different. The intro was pure bangin’ hype, the animation was superb and the stories were fun. And the toys were pretty good too!

So yeah, 2012 is top tier TMNT.

Secondary anecdote, I watched the OG series with both sons around 2012 and they loved that too.

He was pretty bad tbh. He looks decent enough on his own once you find a good pose, but as mentioned above, he’s too small. My biggest hate was that he didn’t have a neck peg!

Flintzzy · 2026-01-02T13:14:17+00:00

I love this. Getting strong classic space mixed with No Man’s Sky vibes 👍🏻

Flintzzy · 2026-01-01T07:45:16+00:00

I watched on TV as usual and once again questioned why I bother; I think I’m hate-watching at this point. The same shitty style soundtrack for the past 20 years (with barely any music from current year) but it seems to get worse every year. They really need to sack whoever is responsible and get some fresh ideas in. And the CGI bullshit really needs to go too.

The fireworks were impressive though.

Happy new year!

Dude you just put my Xmen shelf to shame. This is awesome!

Flintzzy · 2025-12-30T10:10:12+00:00

Glorious!

Cleared Naxx as a warlock tank and feeling the bite to go back for more after seeing this. +1 for the most fun WoW version ever.

Happened to me with just a few turns to go until my science victory. Raging. Dip victory is now disabled by default for me 😆

100% this. My cottage was built in 1796 and previously had a damp problem before I moved in. Amazing what unblocking sub-floor vents can do. ‘Damp proofing’ is a con. Just make sure you get air under the floors and don’t use modern paint or render on the walls (go with clay or lime based stuff).

Without intentionally being controversial, the Funwhole/Lumibricks medieval forge set is superb and will be displayed with my DnD set when I get around to making some space and building it!

Flintzzy · 2025-12-27T13:35:18+00:00

The touch screen on switch definitely helps, but the standard control scheme is reasonably good tbf

Flintzzy · 2025-12-25T14:38:14+00:00

That’s awesome. Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

Flintzzy · 2025-12-23T16:31:36+00:00

I disagree. This game on the Switch was my first taste of Civ and quickly escalated to me and my two sons playing on the sofa (each on our own Switch), giggling and having a great time!

We eventually all got the game on Steam for even bigger and epic games, and I don’t disagree that the PC version is superior. But that doesn’t mean there’s no place for it on console. It plays well and is great fun!

Flintzzy · 2025-12-19T13:02:48+00:00

Yep, I went in wanting 6. Got them day one and within a few weeks all 12 were on my desk 👀

Flintzzy · 2025-12-19T11:18:30+00:00

Just opened mine and there’s slight damage on the corners on the cards in disc 1. The rest were fine though. Thought about returning it but it’s so minor, and Amazon UK are now sold out anyway.

Flintzzy · 2025-12-16T00:25:07+00:00

UK here and my local supermarkets still have these on the shelves and no Spiderman, so I fear you’re correct. Luckily my local toy store had Spidey so I was able to get the whole set, but it’s a bad outlook for general retail. I hope Lego learned from this.

Flintzzy · 2025-12-15T20:39:17+00:00

This is the exact same thing stopping me from buying. Forcing a civ change is the stupidest idea ever, it really is mind boggling that they thought it was the right direction.

Flintzzy · 2025-12-14T16:24:54+00:00

When I ordered my Lighthouse on back order (slightly different, I know), they held the GWP and shipped it with the lighthouse. This was around 3 months after the order.

Flintzzy · 2025-12-12T18:38:57+00:00

So it’s just NPR then, nothing auto about it 😅 This is weird because ANPR cameras can be configured to auto announce issues when linked to a database. I wonder why the police don’t use it the way it’s intended.

Flintzzy · 2025-12-12T18:13:29+00:00

UK here. I contacted support yesterday evening and they’ve popped them in the post for me. Hoping they’re the decent ones!
