D.C. Heroclix Poll standings updated.
Apologies for the dearth of Letraset updates recently. I have several choice sets waiting to be scanned and loaded up on this site, however my old PC motherboard crashed on me and the only way I could get back online was to cannibalise my wife's old 400 MHz motherboard. Sadly, USB isn't working (despite my attempts to enable it via the BIOS settings) so I'm stymied regards scanning for the immediate future. I shall be purchasing a new state-of-the-art platform in the next month so normal service should be resumed by the beginning of September at the latest. Please bear with me until then.

Well I finally went and did it - launched my own website about stuff that interests me - better late than never. I've had a painfully long self-learning-curve and the site has been re-written more times than I care to remember over the last two years.
Special thanks to Tom Vinelott for his encouragement and advice regards image processing and good-practice in web design. Cheers mate.
The main reason for launching this site is the reference material for LETRASET ACTION TRANSFERS. I have many more sets to show on the site and am busily preparing the relevant pages for upload asap. Please check back for regular additions and updates.
Pending updates include: Transfer sheets for nearly all sets on the ACTION TRANSFERS page plus unused backgrounds for those currently showing 'used' versions, SUPER ACTION TRANSFERS sets 'Caesar & Cleopatra' and 'Carnival', more unused WADDINGTONS PANORAMAS sets and much, much more.
Finally - huge thanks to Tom Vinelott (again), Saul Everett, Jonathan Norris and Steve Payne for having supplied scans to help enhance the LETRASET gallery. Top blokes, every one.
