LEGO Darth Vader Minifigure is possibly one of the most bought LEGO Minifigures ever, because of the giant impact of the world, which was Star Wars. I only have a couple of minifigures so I would treat myself to getting the dark lord himself, Darth Vader. Also I bought it on Star Wars Day - May the 4th, so it was on discount.

Hot Wheels is having its 50th Anniversary, so they have released 6 special cars in Black, Blue and Gold for the occasion. I bought the Bone Shaker, just because it is my favourite of the 6, and I couldn't justify buying all 6, even through I really wanted to. I have been a big fan of Hot Wheels since I was a little kid so it kinda nostalgic for me, I guess.

Action Comics #1000 is huge achievement for comics, being the longest running comic book series of all time; also the Action Comics #1 is the most expensive comic ever to be bought at auction. The comic has a couple of variants, showing off the air style of ages of comic books. I bought the update to variant, all though I was really tempted by the 1950s cover. The comic book has multiple short stories about Superman, all done with different artists' styles, which I really enjoyed.

Deadpool 2 was absolutely hilarious, gruesome and full of Ryan Reynolds goodness. Deadpool's girlfriend is killed, later attempting to kill himself. But he is not about to die because of his healing factor, also he needs his heart to be in the collect place; so Deadpool rejoins the X-Men but ends up imprisoned with Fire Fist. He later betrays Fire Fist which causes him to go on a self-fulfilling revenge story with Juggernaut. Deadpool has to build his own team; X-Force, but it all falls pretty quickly. The movie is a must watch for all comic book fans, not just Marvel fans, with the countless references and the hilarious 4th walls breaks. Just as good as the first film, if not better

Solo: A Star Wars Story is the spin-off Star Wars movie, taking place between Star Wars III & Rogue One. It tells the story of a Young Han Solo trying to make it big a space pilot, getting the Millenium Falcon and his eventually friendship with Lando Calrissian. Han also befriends Chewbacca, with the duo running into a criminal gang, posing as Imperial War Commanders, who are planning on stealing Hyperfuel. Han and Chewie join them and help them steal Hyperfuel for a superior gang leader, having to fly to Kessel to get unrefined Hyperfuel; making the Kessel Run in 12 Parsecs, which no-one has done before. I thought the film was miles better than Episode 8 and Rogue One, but not as good as Episode 7; the only really annoyingly stupid thing about the film was the dumb card game Han and Lando are playing. The audience were not told anything about the game or its rules and are just expected to react happily in the result, even though we have no idea what's happening.

Thank you - Happy collecting
