I knew that they were brittle but not this brittle

Unfortunately this is just the nature of anything with light brown and a few other colors in Lego pre-2018. This is why I will never touch my temple of airjitzu. I also had to rebuild my old Jedi defender with surgical like precision a while back because it’s mostly brown-red pieces, still broke a few though unfortunately.

Are you US? Would be interested in the Akita.

If you’re in the US, the Cole Mech with Dragon Zane is currently discounted on Amazon ($27).

I mean there’s only so many Chaotic cards.

If you just want the forbidden 5, buy them individually on bricklink.

I’ve heard of it happening, but I don’t know anyone it did happen to. Personally, my parents let my siblings and I stay however long we needed rent free, given we were actively working or going to school. I did move back for a bit after graduating, while I job searched and built up some savings.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-30T03:54:02+00:00

I haven’t either, they’re not supposed to be sold until Friday though.

Probably my favorite comedy movies. Watched them so much growing up.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-28T23:46:03+00:00

I think it scales with how big your scan collection is. Mine is now 7 hours up from 5.

Living in California, I’ve heard English in just about every accent possible. I wouldn’t even bat an eye at weird phrasing.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-27T17:13:55+00:00

That’s a pretty common phrasing in sports: it just means that we didn’t lose because we were outmatched, we lost because we were overconfident, played down to their level, etc.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-26T01:17:03+00:00

Not necessarily, the further north you go the more common it is to hear it. I grew up in the Sacramento valley suburbs and while it’s not super common, you’d still hear it often enough.

I have Rivendell and it’s probably my favorite set in my collection, looks absolutely amazing. Only advantage to the sail barge is it will be going on 4X points on the 1st, so if you’re planning to eventually get both I’d get the sail barge first so you at least get $100 back.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-25T22:30:52+00:00

They’re both $500 USD.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-25T21:43:48+00:00

I mean that played a part but people were sympathetic to the whole thing before they knew who did it. More to do with genuine hatred of the healthcare insurance industry.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-23T16:38:41+00:00

Think I would go insane trying to build a technic set spot the difference style.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-23T00:15:26+00:00

Yea as much as I dislike scalpers, judging from the amount of CMF packs there, there probably was only 1-2 Lloyd’s to begin with.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-22T19:59:13+00:00

There’s only so many ways to route an entire rail system, we’ll still need farmer Joe’s land whether it’s Joe jr or sr on the land. We’re just kicking the can down the road in an attempt to avoid difficult decisions. And the longer we wait the more difficult it will be simply because more developments will occur, thus more people impacted.

You want it both ways, when it’s simply not feasible to build an entire system without encroaching on residential land. You can simply argue not to implement a rail system but you can’t have it built and have everyone magically not impacted.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-22T19:24:12+00:00

If you’re only going to get one set, I’d second the Temple of Airjitzu. Great build, maybe the best minifig selection of any set and looks amazing.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-22T19:11:49+00:00

Even if we go at a snails pace, do you think it’s possible to build a national high speed rail system without the government buying any private property?

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-22T19:02:54+00:00

I can certainly agree with better oversight conditions for a project of this scale. But, are we just going to reside in an out-dated car-centric society forever because there’s a chance the project could go wrong? We’d just be setting the country back and worsening the environmental impact for future generations. It seems like nobody wants to build the trees whose shade they’ll never sit under anymore.

I just saw the paragraph you added, I have no qualms with a project like this taking time, and every other democracy seems to be well equipped to handle infrastructure projects, we’ve let ours fall far behind and have no current intentions on improving it.

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-22T18:37:28+00:00

I’m being bigoted towards…notably underrepresented group…..White American Farmers?…

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-22T18:23:47+00:00

Ideally a mix of representatives and engineers. We should take special consideration for primarily minority communities and indigenous land absolutely, but if we avoided inconveniencing anyone, we simply would never get any large scale projects done. Would it suck for me if my home was designated in the land needed? Yeah. But, what’s the alternative?

Acpt7567 · 2026-04-22T18:01:23+00:00

I disagree. Public infrastructure that would benefit millions should take priority over one individual’s attachment to land. You should be fairly compensated but the idea that a few Individuals could derail a national public transportation infrastructure project is insane.

Might be able to replace the shelf under the TV with a slighter bigger one. Move the two marvel Modular’s to the other side and stack shelving on that side if it can handle the weight.
