all good things come to those who wait...

...in my case, a 4 figure set of Torchwood action figures for a tenner including postage. Granted, I wasn't all that interested in the weevil, and I don't *need* a spare Jack even if I have a use for one, but I did want the Cyberwoman and Gwen, so this was a bargain.

I'd point you all at the link, but there were only two left at that price when I put in my order, and now the price has gone back up. (Though you can still get them for around twenty quid inc postage, which is half the release price.)

The use for the spare Jack (no sniggering at the back) is that I currently have a spare DW Jack guarding my computer at work. But the DW version doesn't have a stand, and thus has to be bluetacked to the desk to spare him the indignity of falling on his face every time someone walks past my desk. The TW version does come (I said no sniggering) with a display stand, and thus is self-supporting, even if not as attractive a piece as the DW version.

zines and other stuff up for grabs

I now have all of my Stuff under one roof for the first time in a decade, and there is a lot of it, so I decided that I had to be realistic about the likelihood of me reading some of these again. Those on the list below are marked to go -- if you want any of them, speak up. And soon, because most of what's on the list below will be going in the next paper recycling collection if not spoken for. Mostly Blake's 7, a few other things. Some gen, some slash and mixed. There's a detailed B7 zine database at Hermit if you want to check what's in something and read reviews.

While I'm on the subject, I've also got a few profic titles of specific fannish interest, for either postage or for postage and what I'd get selling it through Amazon. One Daw edition and one Legend edition of Tanith Lee's Kill the Dead, hardback of Pat Elrod's "I, Strahd", paperback of the sequel "The war against Azalin", paperback of Lillian Stewart Carl's "Ashes to Ashes", and several copies of the first print run of Della van Hise's pro Trek novel "Killing Time" -- i.e. the print run that got out before the powers-that-be noticed how very, very intentionally slashy it was, and hastily ordered a reprint with censorship. :->

Also a copy of the reviled-with-reason Boxtree book. The one that I took savage delight in giving half a star on LibraryThing...
