OK, it's the wife's last day off before she goes back to her 6 day a week school job tomorrow, so a day doing something that she wants to do - watching 'Daddys Home' at the local (10 baht, 20p - 5 mile away) cinema - Seacon Square. I can't complain really, she's a lovely person and puts up with my occasional collecting eccentricities, and besides I wanted to pick up another of the four piece Star Wars Force Awakens promotional cups from the cinema before the promotion ends.
I feel I really need to mention here that collecting anything is a real high sometimes for a lot of people (me included), but I have to say having someone loving with you when you do it is much better - unless of coure you are trying to hide the price from her !! Inwhich case you jut identify it and do it when she is at work !!
These cup sets are not cheap, retailing at 350 baht (£7) each - 1 cup, 1 bucket, popcorn and coke - and I am trying to do it on the sly by gettng one every time we go there. She seems OK with this - especially after I showed her someone flogging the set at £60 a hit plus postage on Ebay !!! There is some other promotional stuff there, but that's for another day and another day out. So, now Kylo Ren joins Captain Phasma on the shelf - or in the case of the pictures below the top of the fish tank !! First word of warning here - a lot of the Ren's lightsabres are bent, luckily this one is fairly straight. Second word of warning - each cup topper has its own designed cup - so if buying, ensure cup matches top !!
Note : picture of cups are real cups bought. As is the wife stuffing her face after the movie in McDonalds and who seems to be able to go into a burger joint and eat fried chicken !
