Well, shut me down!!! Just wandered in to The Entertainer in Romford's Brewery Centre and saw that they'd moved all the saga figures to the aisle-end opposite the door. There was nothing new in the selection so I thought I'd wander round the aisle and see how small the main section was these days.
Well, it's 2/3s smaller, no change in stock, and smack in the middle, all alone, was a single Acklay! For a tenner!! Apparently reduced from £15, but as I've never seen one on the shelf in the six months they've been open I am a little dubious!
He's a nightmare though! I cannot get him to stand up in anything like the pose on the box, or any from the films. He kind of slumps instead. Imagine him in the same position you end up in at closing time.... Very nice looking toy though, although the 'guts' are really icky. And for only a tenner (as opposed to the £30 BIN offers on Ebay) you can't really argue.
So get to your Entertainer, or check the website and see if they're cropping up elsewhere!
