I'm late to the party on these Atomicron sets...really like what I see. Anybody know if they are still on pegs in Europe (I'm in Canada and understand these pretty much just stayed in Europe) ?

The problem with these crazy EU lines is that they come and go so fast. If you miss them when they're hot, you'll likely never get any.

That being said, check out toy_the_hutt on instagram. He sent me some way back in the day, and may be able to send you some too! (Absolutely no promises though.)

Outstanding coincidence Draznar! It's on that very Instagram account where I 'discovered' Atomicron only a few weeks back (toy_the_hutt). Agree there seem to have very few available on eBay and the postage is prohibitive. Pursuing a trade with Instagram collector: techspextoys for a couple of sets; particularly after the larger 'Generals' which appear to be in my 40-50mm scale liking and some look to be articulated!
Yes the EU lines I've got to get better at monitoring; had same experience trying to catch up on EGYXOS recently.

Just saw today that Home Bargains had a Atomicron Series 2 Air force Castle playset with I think 20 figures 20 gold figures and a gold leader figure for £10 it came it a pretty large box with no English translation anywhere on the box. I wonder if the smaller Series 2 Air Force sets will end up in there also. As alot of Giochi Peziosi toy lines seem to end up in that stores on discount and some times in Poundstores.

My first Atomicron pack arrived, very impressed with the whole approach; from packaging through figs very well done. The articulated Generals are perfect 40mm scale & everything I'd hoped for; they will be seeing service in 40mm battles and dioramas. The non-articulated Generals are much softer PVC akin to the tiny soldiers accompanying all. They Have the feel of an upgraded version of those 90's WAR Planets sets from Trendmasters.
These are very attractive and the bubble packs would really stand out on racks; tell me these wouldn't sell fast if they arrived unannounced on the pegs of any North American retailer! Europe, please send us a boat load or two!

Ah yes, makes sense now ironmask. Here's the booger guy, nice solid chunk of rubber, nicely sculpted:

Personal favourite sculpt of the line so far is this reptilian fellow; he can't sit down but his backside is well defended.

Well I bought that £10 dark Fort Playset I found at Home Bargains

The Small Towers fall to bits easilyso you can fire figures with the spring loaded cannons.Only Half of the thick cardboard game board is shown here and the red orb can be removed though it does not open up. Though it probably be good to custom as a Eye of Sauron. The Commander figures on the box is shown fully gold but as you can see in the box it is not and looks better.

 

The two packs it came with inside the box are series 1 figures. So you get 2 of the 4 series 1 mega packs included. These alone sold for more than £10 each new.

Acidonia, you touched unlucky there with the Dark Fort. I too found these in Home Bargains last week. In fact, I bought three of them. :blush:

Anyhow, all of my forts came with one of the 40 packs from series 1, which I already had - BUT also one 40 pack from the Air Force series, which I was very happy to see because they were never released here.
