Just a heads up. It has been 2 weeks since I ordered my Alphabet coins from the Royal Mint, so I sent an email. Response below.

Won an auction on eBay for £100 below Royal Mint issue price. Just hope it is decent quality

At least you got a reply. Took 2 days before the auto response even made it to me lol

Pre-ordered 1/4oz Gold Queen's Beast Black Bull of Clarence from Atkinsons.  Anybody thinking of putting a Gold Bullion order in, rest assured that as I have bought mine now, the Gold price should dip in due course.

Men die from prostate cancer at rates equal to women dying from breast cancer.

Men are 97% of combat deaths.

Men are 76% of homicides.

Men are 80% of suicides.

Men are 94% of industrial deaths and accidents.

Of the 15 leading causes of death, men lead in 12 of them.

Men's lifespans are 3.7 years shorter than women.

Where's our &^%$ing coin ?

Today is a happy day for me.  Managed to source these gold ornamental items.  Now have to patiently wait for them to get to me.

Did Darth Vader say " Luke, I am your father" or "No, I am your father"?

Can we have specs? Are they gold plated or solid gold? How big?  I think the light sabre is the coolest

Made from 24k gold but the models are hollow inside.  Effectively a 24k gold shell.  R2 is only 3.7cm tall.  No idea on BB-8.  IIRC, light sabre is around 10cm long and will be solid through and through.

 https://www.ctfeshop.com.hk/ if you want to checkout the site.  The items I've bought are so are no longer available on the site but can still be found in some branches.  Limited issues and now on wave 3 of releases.

Supposed to be the latter.

Yes.  Company is one of the largest jewelers in the world.  They have even opened a store inside Disneyland Hong Kong selling their Disney stuff.

I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan but i have to say they're really nice

Looking on their site I see they did some other bits and bobs like necklaces and charms

A couple of years ago I picked up some pendants.

I should have that C3P-0 R2 combo set as well.  Not had confirmation on that.  I think I've already spent this years budget

Some 24K Gold Pendants which I asked my parents to bring back from HK for me.  The Frozen snowflake and Olaf will be for my daughter and the Angry Bird and Superman symbol will be for my son.  The Millennium Falcon & Darth Vader are for me.  Average price of £75/gram.  They are small so I put a sovereign in there for comparison.

I was looking for a VF obverse 1 Victoria young head half. Failed! Ended up with another obverse 3.

....a 2002 BU sovereign.

Hardly original but I fancy getting getting the other one offs- the 2005 and 2012. Not sure I want to fork out a grand for the ‘89 though!

Found a 2005 today for not a large premium. Seem to be £260-270 on eBay.

Another 100oz of silver

For the kids - a rare colored eagle in the original as seen on tv packaging from 2000.  Hard to believe it is 18 years old.

I'm really getting into these $5 Gold Liberty, can be had a spot prices raw and even graded not too high of a premium. Beautiful coins none the less. (Just sent 5 liberty's into NGC)

[ilovesilverireallydo]
