(UK) WTB Wall.E instructions (plus other stuff wanted and selling)

MattsWhat

Hello people, my completionist is getting the better of me again and I am after the instructions with the update all in one book.  Not sure on the part number for it, but they would have to be failr recent.  Anyone have some they want to be rid of for a trade or some cash?
Things I am also after:
Iron Patriot
Deadpool

Things that I have that need a new home:
Most of the minifigures from #70751 Temple of Airjitsu
Ronin
#10197 Arkham Asylum (Used, but with box etc.)
#75919 Idominus Rex
#75915 Pteranodon
Ginger bread House/Christmas Train
#70813 Rescue Reinforcements
#75050 B-wing

The current ones are 6162870 (International) and 6162871 (North American). There may be others, even though they're still for a version with the head issue fixed.

^Thank you, it was from the other thread I realised they were actually making a different set.  If there is more than that then I still need them all.  I only have the original and additional ones.

TigerMoth

Er... you collect different instructions for the same set?

You do know that many (most?) sets have multiple set of instructions beyond those that are vaguely "obvious"?

MattsWhat

^yup (don't judge, it sounds worse when you say it like that) and yup.
Small changes like american/european or due to errors, colour reproduction, change of parts (like the mini copper windscreen) etc don't really bother me.  But this one is a pretty big rebuild and a part change so it will bug me not to have both.  So I can buy another instructions or a whole other Wall.E.  I went for the cheap option.
Also, 'ideas' is my bogey range.

Wadya mean "judge"? I wasn't. We're a bunch of adults collecting kids' toys - there's something about people in glass houses...

Anybody collect the plastic bags? No? Darn it. Or sprues? Sprues are pieces!

That doesn't sound like a particularly well-defined set of rules, although you probably have a clear idea of what counts and what doesn't. But, for example, I wouldn't be surprised if there's not another set of instructions, or more, for WALL•E before we're finished.

On a side note, IN/NA sets also sometimes have different stickers. Or, at least, they sometimes have different sticker sheets, although I'm not sure they're actually that different.

It isn't very well defined.  I get the ones it will eat me up inside not to have.  That's hard to put a definition on, but sets I don't have don't bother me, sets that I don't like don't bother me and anything that only has a small change that I can claim makes no difference can be ignored.  My collection isn't an exact science, it's just the minimum amount of stuff that fills the need to have stuff.  (It's more stuff than you'd probably think - or is in the normal population, maybe not around here)

Are you still young enough to have hair?

We'll soon change that.

Can anybody with an Ideas set post the number off the back of their instruction manual...

Not judging by his avatar ;-)

TigerMoth

Yes, but that would also make him a potato.

Anyway, slamming my self portrait aside, I have also realised I am need of two cmfs - librarian and gingerbread dude. People would have to read pretty far down to know that though. Still, can't complain at free bumps and a thriving marketplace thread (nothing bought or sold yet though).
