Anything to bring a smile during rough times.

I'm a simple man. I see gradients on a mech, I upvote.

When the stack gets too big, you buy some shelving. When the shelving gets full, you buy some storage tubs. When you run out of tub room, you get a storage unit. When the storage unit is full, you realize maybe it's time to sell off the backlog. Then when you're almost done, your spouse gets into Gundam. And this time you start a spreadsheet to keep track of the cycle. Then P-Bandai opens in your region.

Huh, I didn't know people anyone even painted with baby oil.

Yeah, that one completely didn't register with me lol. I was referring to Grandpa. Zero idea wtf Bandai is thinking with the Nu.

Your comment made be go find the receipt lol. Turns out my memory was playing tricks on me, was closer to $170 (sale price plus coupon). I have edited my unintentional exaggeration, but yeah, I was (relatively) happy with the price.

Anyone here also into Masterpiece Transformers? Yeahhhhhhhhh... now that shit is crazy expensive. Gunpla is a steal IMO.

Yeah, but they might have Mad Mad Bunny disease. You don't want none of them prions, dawg.

Wait, I thought their job was to revoke approval for safe drugs that the snowflakes don't like?

It’s floating around $250-300 USD.

I grabbed it for my spouse on sale at like $100 for just under $200. I think it was the tail end of the original print. For that money you can get a PGU.

Stuff goes in and out of print all the time. Once stock starts to run low, reseller prices go up. When there's a reprint, prices come back down. And as the other use mentioned, Bandai also announced some price hikes. If all of the big retailers have something at the same price, my guess is that it's the latter. If the big retailers have spotty stock, it's probably the former.

Resource hidden where we can't see it? Best to assume it's infinite and there will be no repercussions.

Last night was bad (far east side of toronto... like Durham Region). It was over 180 and not only could I smell the smoke from inside the house, but my eyes were burning, too.

Having flashbacks to the fires from a couple of years ago. We were nowhere near (these were the Quebec fires IIRC) but outdoor AQI was bad for weeks, regularly topping 300 and peaking at 4-500. Had everything closed up, AC and multiple HEPA purifiers running, and it was still awful indoors.

I recommend picking up a few MG SP-00-N kits specifically for testing paints etc.

I cannot confirm nor deny this, but the fact remains that Deloreans still exist today. And I do not recall ever hearing any stories about rust. Which, given its infamy, one would think would have been part of the lore by now if it was a thing.

I think there's something to the sitting idle angle. My launch joycons started getting drift 4-5 years ago. I did the usual clean out, then cut some plastic to put more pressure on the stick back plate and they were surprisingly fine. Two years ago I picked up an OLED, and my primary switch got very little handheld use after that.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when I grabbed my launch switch to upgrade the firmware and run some tests. The sticks were basically unusable. I have a couple sets of Hall effect sticks laying around, I guess now is as good a time as any to put them to use.

I grew up constantly surrounded by the latter and knew when I smelled the former that the adults were about to act like idiots. I think I'd rather lose my sense of smell than have to endure either consistently.

And just look at all those anchor babies.

My main is down, yo.

Yeah I did a wee bit of cheating and just started looking at kits on dalong, but I had only gotten through HGs before getting distracted. The HG Jegan caught my eye, but didn't match the proportions in the pic so I kept scrolling. The leg armor angles/flaring also scream Zaku/Gouf, so I was looking at Build kits as well.

Either way, it's always fun to play guess the pieces.
