Yep, I collect robots (Or I did until I got a mortgage), and my housemate more specifically collects Transformers...
And most are still 1:1:
An example. Optimus Prime, leader class (from the recent movie)

Oh and I went to the Waterstones at Canary wharf. They have a nice new display case for "Ereading"
But it's empty. I checked behind the counter and they said they would be on sale from the 10th of September (which we already knew). He then checked to see if they would get display models any earlier. But they were listed for the 10th too :-(
Which is a bit of a pain, as an expat friend is visiting the UK at the beginning of Sept and said he would pick one up for me if I wanted it. But I don't want one until I've seen the contrast and glare for myself.
