Scream for me Royal Mail... The Iron Maiden stamp set.

I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand, I love Iron Maiden, seen them in a variety of combinations albeit not the Paul diAnno version (though I have seen his live band, the less said the better). But then I can't help but feeling stamps is just a little bit lame for them.

Two British icons I suppose, and I'll probably buy it, though I think the band ones are a bit duff; Janick has been particularly hard done by.

They should have just stuck to using the album art.

There's a reason Iron Maiden don't put themselves on the cover.

You just summarised my thoughts. My wife was telling me to get them, but I somehow can't bring myself to press the order button.

Iron Maiden postage stamps? Does not compute.

Yeah. I dunno, they've put themselves on all sorts of vaguely naff merch, I have a lunchbox with accompanying thermos, but this seems too far.

They all look decrepit now?

I saw Maiden with Di'anno many moons ago. Saw his solo thing in Japan but really poor I thought.

I would have liked a cycling jersey, but can't seem to find one available.

Adrian and Dave's hair looks suspiciously blonde and Steve's suspiciously dark

I think there's a 2018 one, going back to 1988 AFAIR.

Aye, that's the most recent.

There's this Killers one, but it doesn't look official...

At least they have hair (if it's real)
