Need some Mathmos buying advice

So now I know that I can probably bring home a couple Astros and a couple extra globes from my short trip to London. I think I will pick up one telstar globe for my existing telstar (classic yellow/red). But, I am torn now on what to get. I could get an Astro with an extra globe and an Astrobaby...or what about the Heritage Astro in Gold? For folks who have a chrome Astro and a Heritage Astro... what do you think? If you could only buy one Astro, which would you buy?

I have looked at the website every night and it is driving me nuts!

I actually came close to adding bulbs to the purchase until I read about buying 110V bulbs (duh!). Does anyone know the bulbs to buy for an Astro (and telstar) here in the US?

Thanks wise OG people for your opinion... my brain is hurting... I want it all!!

Chuck

I don't have much Mathmos, but I would get as many different types of lamps. Not like one lamp with 3 globes.

If I could only buy one Astro then I would get the heritage one, they look nicer then the regular astros (that is not knocking the regular astros) and also they are better quality etc.

The one I would get would be turquoise bottle with blue base but that's me - its your personal choice at the end of the day.

If you could get a extra bottle I would go for a black base heritage astro with say a pink / clear bottle and then another bottle of your choice - black base as it would go with any bottle combo.

For bulbs and power etc, I think the best option would be to get a UK to US converter and just use that - save the hassle finding bulbs and / or rewiring the lamp.
