It is just a temporary stall. Paul doesn't log in to often and so he hasn't received notice of where to send it yet. Once we get it to Stefan it will be back on track as it only goes to the next person if they respond. Stef logs in daily so communication won't be an issue.

Got a response today. Tiggy will be going to his new location soon, hopefully. Look forward to Stef getting him.

this is good news , cant wait to see more of him

Tiggy went in the mail earlier this week. Between me forgetting to send him out and being literally lost in the shuffle while repainting my collection room. He was under a pile of Hulks and other stuff. But he's making his way across the Atlantic now. Sorry for the delay.

Dear Diary,

What a rough trip I've had whilst travelling over the pond to sunny Blighty. Travelling without a passport didn't help me either as when I landed on these strangely familiar shores I ended up getting stuck in immigrant control trying to explain that although my name real name is Mr.I.Gunner I'm in know way involved in the buying, selling or distribution of small fire arms. That didn't wash so I ended up on the receiving end of a rather large rubber glove, ooh'er!!

Now don't even mention the jet lag, I've been trying to sleep it off now for over a week and I'm still poop'ed, either that or my new master is too lazy to take me out of the kitchen drawer



I'll report back soon, and yes my new master has promised me lots of special treats over the next few weeks!!

That is one neat junk drawer..........

I see stefan's son has managed to get his Christmas wish list in the drawer. Glad to see tiggy survived the journey. Don't worry to much tiggy, you will probably be alright unless Stef takes you to see the rabbits.

That's part of his birthday list, but good spot

 Great to see Tiggy's landed on the shores of Blighty.

Looking forward to his adventure pics

Dear Diary,

WTF, My new master dragged me out of bed this morning at 6am!! He then kept chirping on about some sort of road trip, well it better be bloody good thats all I can say as it's ruined my beauty sleep

So in the car we get and I don't know about you but the view was pants, even when the darkness lifted it was still misty I couldn't see a thing.





We finally got to our first port of call, the train station. At least he it was nice and warm, only problem was the size of the tickets, how would this ever fit in my pocket?? Come to think of it what am I going on about I don't even have pockets  



It was standing room only on the train but at least I was near the window so I got to see the world wizzing by. Once we got off the train it was a short walk to the underground, where the hell was he taking me ?!?!?





Off the underground and onto the DLR (The docks light railway). What's that I can see in the distance??, I didn't known the Empire was secretly constructing a third Death Star    I couldn't hold in the excitement any longer....yippee!! is this where my new master was taking me to join my own kind so I didn't have to hang around these grown men that liked playing with their toys! Nope it's apparently called the O2 centre and was built as part of the Millennium celebrations.



Well, I guess not the train went straight past!, When we finally came to the end of our journey I was faced with a huge building called the ExCeL centre. But why were we here I asked him? CE3 wasn't till next year?!?!!?



To be continued....

tiggy your master need to fill up on the petrol
cant wait for more

Tiggy, did you survive the excel center?

Part 2 of Tiggys London trip to the ExCeL centre will be posted this weekend, as he'll be packing his bags for a 2nd road trip next week.

Friday 18th September 2015 (Part II)

Dear Diary,

OMG!! I'm sorry to say Imperial Gunnery but your arsenal of weaponry is nothing compared to this! They had everything at the exhibition....tanks, helicopters, ships, big guns, little guns, missiles, you know it was there. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I enjoyed the show!!



























On Sunday I'm packing my suitcase for a little getaway, see you all soon

I was sure there would be signs that say "do not touch the exhibits" or something similar, very cool that you got to get so close to everything.  Out of curiosity without saying exactly what was blurred out, was it some sort of sign for the agency these toys are for?  Very neat to be able to see all that stuff. Was this something open to public? Not very many people in the pics.

Great update Tiggy and Stef That's the most hardware Tiggy's seen since the Death Stars got blown up!

The amount of hardware on display was cool, the overall feel of the show was 'very serious' so I was lucky to capture these few photos, as for the blurred out bits I thought it best to remove any company brand name just in case someone comes knocking on my door.

The special forces area was by far the best but there was zero chance of photos in there

Just so long as it's not these cheeky fellas eh?

Sunday 27th September 2015

Dear Diary,

Time to see where I'd been stationed and what a lovely sunny day it was!! So according to my new master this small outpost is called "Leek" and is situated in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Once famous for it's textile industry which has now all but disappeared, this small town still holds onto it's roots with  it's weekly outdoor market. He's me taking a wall up the local high street, voted one of the best in the UK.





Next the Nicholson War Memorial or "Monument" as the locals call it, which was built to commemorate the local men who died in the first world war, and seen then plaques have been added for the second world war too.







Next stop "classic collectibles" a vintage toy situated opposite the large clock tower, my master tells me he sometimes strikes gold here but not often. It looked more like a zoo to me with my own kind housed behind a horrible invisible force field which was stopping them from escaping.





A quick walk up the high street and a quick pose outside one of the many olde looking building, this was is called the "Roebuck", a local hive od scum and villainy.



Well me master mentioned striking gold earlier, but what is this??? Apparently it's a one of several post boxes which were painted gold to commemorate all the gold medals won in the last Olympic Games, lucky for Leek we got one



Next stop the local market place, I'm told on a Wednesday and Saturday this place would put Watto's juke shop to shame with the amount of antiques on sale, nothing today other then a car park.



It was nearly time to go but not before visiting another one of Leek's landmarks, the Nicholson Institute which house's a rather fine collection of books. I'm informed that this was once ranked a close second to the Jedi temples own archives, impressive stuff !!



This picture I don't get, my Master told me to pose here whilst he shouted UZAY!!!, what the hell is he talking about ?!?!??!?

Back home, a quick shower, sh*t and shave and I'm all packed ready for a little adventure!!





See you all soon!!

What a fantastic little town. I love older architecture. Looks classy. Being located in the DFW metroplex, don't see much of that style anymore. It is all being torn down for more modern structures to take its place. I am in a small town so ours is still in place, but a lot of the larger towns old buildings are gone.

Was the uzay shout perhaps a precursor to a new aquasition? It's really neat the postal service painted their mailboxes gold. I see your son is in the rubber boot phase. Mine went through that where rubber boots were the only thing he would wear for footwear. Didn't matter that it was summertime and he had on shorts, he had to wear his rubber rain boots.

I love the nod to the uzay cardback tiggy ,,,,,,
wow England looks so cheery ive always heard something about rain
beautiful pictures for sure , too bad the toy store was closed
looking forward to more adventures

Dang it totally escaped me that the uzay thing was about the cardback.
