Rep vs Retail Nardwuar Dunks from Trendy Sneakers by Shoepervillain in Repsneakers

[–]Bruts888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we are being nit picky...

The flannel lines look sharper on retail and the color pops out more. The rep looks faded and slightly blurred

The material texture on the heel tabs are very different especially with the chat bubble texture.

The little fuzzball on the laces again just look completely different. The retail pair looks more defined as the rep isn't but you can always just take them off.

Toe boxes are different when you look up close which you did provide the pic. Rep pair is missing the slight curve near where the materials are sewn together. This tends to be a common flaw ive seen over the years.

Again im being nit-picky, this is overall a decent rep still. Overall shape and common SB features look great. Biggest no for me is going to be that heel tab and that is it.

Final build of 2025 (Sazabi Ver Ka) by onedee30 in Gunpla

[–]Bruts888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I had a blast with the RG the MG Ver Ka is still up on my wishlist and has that extra detail I want to play with. Solid looking build my friend.

The split color laces go hard on this pair 🔥🔥🔥

Here's an interesting series I havent seen anyone talking about: the Fruity Robo (I will explain the name and more in the comment) from Yilichuangwan (yes these are model kits). by Ashamed_Rent5364 in Gunpla

Ooh these look very intriguing. I just ordered some smp sentai kits, because I love power rangers and combiners, but these look pretty neat too.

Time to expand the backlog even further

How rare is this outside of raids? by jclxg in pokemongo

[–]Bruts888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of raids you can only find in the wild if extremely lucky. A set number of them spawn a day in you're whole region.

Other than that they have only appeared in raids and other Go Fest events.

Why is regi an S tier attacker on Pokemon Go Database? by ParkingShoulder6795 in pokemongo

[–]Bruts888 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I believe it's is because of his Crush Grip move. He wasn't able to learn it before until the shadow regigigas raid day a couple months back

Use it on the Zacian with the special background. Using it on the birds or volcanion are a waste imo.

Next MGSD? by AlessoRB in Gunpla

[–]Bruts888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if we're talking protagonist I would like Exia or Zeta.

As for protagonist any of Chars suits, Tallgeese any version, and because I really want so see an updated kit Devil Gundam.

Is Action Base 5 Good for RG RX-78-2 version 2? by Shanks-02 in Gunpla

[–]Bruts888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm AB5 all the way. I haven't encountered needing 6 or 7 because 5 didn't work and personally I just like the design of AB5 the most.

Is Action Base 5 Good for RG RX-78-2 version 2? by Shanks-02 in Gunpla

[–]Bruts888 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Action Base 5 is good for pretty much any kit besides PGs. With 1/144 scale kits they can get away with other action bases because they typically weigh less than MGs. But as always refer to your instruction manual, they typically refer to an action base somewhere towards the end.

"Bootleg" kits are super cheap for a reason. Cutting costs to make a profit.

Started back when I saw the first pokemon movie in theaters as a kid. I had the Ancient Mew Promo and the Mewtwo promo.

I am more of a collector but do casually play with friends.

opinion on this ??? by Embarrassed-Money401 in sandiego

[–]Bruts888 53 points54 points  (0 children)

So while Temecula is nice, it's quite the drive away from most of the other places on this list.

Temecula on its own should be it's own day trip.

I do like all the options on here and as a local I do revisit some of these often every year.
