Week 27 Roundup

A bumper week of buying! This post is a bit late, but better late than never! :)

What have I been buying this week?


  • Mega - Pokemon - Motion Charizard
    • 2023, #HMW05, 1664 pieces, no figures
    • Bought from Amazon for £137.44 with free shipping
    • This is a poor price but I would probably have to wait quite some time for a decent discount based on what happed with similar Motion Gyarados set
    • The first one I received had numerous stains on the box so I returned it but second one arrived in good condition - However this set (and the returned set) had been opened and resealed in the factory! Not an Amazon issue but if I was worried about reselling it then I would return it. I plan to build this so I kept it. The factories obviously detect issues and have to reopen and repack sets but the fact that they leave evidence of that is extremely annoying for collectors like me!
    • I'm now up to date with my Pokemon Motion sets

  • Mega - Pokemon - Build with Motion - Pichu's Forest Forage
    • 2023, #HPB59, 84 pieces, 1 figure
    • Bought from Amazon for £10.54 with free shipping
    • I preordered this on 10 May so it's been a while coming
    • I'm now up to date with my Pokemon Build with Motion sets


  • Mega Construx - Halo - 20th Anniversary Character Pack
    • 2021, #GYG61, 352 pieces, 20 figures
    • Bought from Amazon US seller for $50 plus shipping
    • This is my third copy but my first had a badly painted Cortana
    • These sets were selling at very inflated prices for a long time but $50 is a good price now
    • I have a very large Halo collection but this is an excellent set and well worth having some spares


  • Mega - Halo - Red Team Warthog Rescue
    • 2022, #HHC38, 324 pieces, 3 figures
    • Bought from Amazon US seller for $25.11 plus shipping
    • I aim to have every interesting Halo set but I've gotten this set late since the theme is not exciting me at the moment
    • However, I have previously bought it twice from Amazon US sellers and in both cases, returned it due to the condition of the set I received!


  • Mega Construx - Halo Infinite - Building Box
    • 2020, #GPT03, 450 pieces, 2 figures
    • Bought from Amazon for £26.52 with free shipping
    • I plan to part out this set into my collection in the next few days

  • Mega Construx - Masters of the Universe - Battle Cat
    • 2021, #GVY14, 537 pieces, no figures
    • Bought from Amazon for £13.94 with free shipping
    • This was an amazing price so I picked up a spare to build first and then part out


  • Mega Constux - World - Dragon Castle Clash
    • 2018, #FNY18, 238 pieces, 3 figures
    • Bought from Amazon seller for £14.31 with free shipping
    • I'm a fan of castle sets and decided to pick this up since it was a great deal
    • There are a few related smaller castle sets but they are difficult to find anywhere

  • Mega Construx - Despicable Me 3 - Dru's Lair
    • 2016, #FFJ35, 168 pieces, 2 figures
    • Bought from Vinted seller for £6.97 including shipping
    • This set was already opened and the figures were missing but all the bags were sealed
    • I bought it just for the parts which include a range of metallic gold, metallic copper, and transparent blue pieces
    • The photos below are of another sealed copy of this set in my collection which is why you can see the figures

  • Mega Bloks - Marvel
    • Captain America - Speed Bike
      • 2010, #91202, 39 pieces, 1 figure
    • Spider-Man - City Swing
      • 2010, #91203, 30 pieces, 1 figure
    • Iron Man 2 - Mark IV Workbench
      • 2010, #91206, 41 pieces, 1 figure
    • Bought all 3 sets from Facebook Marketplace seller for £26 including shipping
    • I thought these older sealed sets (which I don't have) were a bargain for the price


All Pokemon Motion and Build with Motion Sets




Now that I am up to date with all the Pokemon motion and build with motion sets, I thought I would gather them together for a quick photo call! :)

What am I building at the moment?

I didn't manage to build anything this week! :(

Final Comments

Lots of buying but no building this week. However, I have been parting out some sets and gathering data and pieces for my Color Table project which I hope to talk about once I make a bit more progress.
