Thanks Shawn! I'm glad to share them with you! Would you believe that I didn't buy anything at Forbidden Planet, though? I recognized how great some of their deals were when I took a second look at the pictures myself. Fortunately they have an online shop, too!
Next and last stop after Lunch at Covent Garden Market was The Noble Collection.

Looks like a very nice trip to England.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
I remember my Interrail trip to Great Britain very well. We were in London and Edinburgh at that time. Both very beautiful cities.

My daughter would have loved that LOTR stuff. Man, nice.

We are taking her on a trip to a hobbit hole for her birthday.

And no purchases in Forbidden Planet? Wow. Still, I would have been seriously overwhelmed and had a hard time narrowing.

Well, we walked 4 miles out of town to get to GAME. It took us almost an hour to get there through the wind. Was it all worth it? See for yourself:

Those zipper bags for my loose figures were probably my smartest investment on the trip.

You got some good ones. Very nice. More figures on the pegs than I have seen in awhile.

Yes, GAME does not have such a big selection like Forbidden Planet, but they had the best prices and an exciting arrangement of their aisles. It makes sense to share the rent for their store and I hope many fans are aware of it because I for example wouldn't expect to find Star Wars figures in a store for sports goods.

Another surprise was shared in our group of the Power of the Force Convention. A member found these concrete busts and statues in a random garden center outside of London:
