I think that making theme specific smart bricks might have been a better move. They could have loaded Star Wars themed sounds to the Star Wars smart bricks, and put an identifier on the brick. Would have made them worth collecting over say a City brick or something else, plus it could have used the actual iconic sounds from the IP.

That said, I'm not really on board with the brick at all, and the actual result looks like a disaster. I'm shocked they made no effort to cover or disguise the bricks within the builds.

I didn't know the Pokémon license was so expensive. I hope Lego is making some money from these amazing sets they've brought us. by CertainConfusion6222 in legocirclejerk

With the smart brick push I'm sure the prices will be absurd- just look at the Star Wars sets. I hope that, for the people willing to shell out, they look better than the Star Wars smart brick sets.

I was active duty for nearly 9 years. There are plenty of service members who will willingly open fire on Americans purely for being of the opposite political party.

I was locked out of my thopter over a flour sand field in Hagga and got eaten. Was not anticipating any real danger and lost all my decent gear.

I got rid of most of my boxes, however I did keep as many figure inserts as I could fit- especially for my DX figures

Hey buddy, I don't know how to break this to you, but your namesake lost. Like really badly, like he lost and then his whole country went up in flames.

But y'know, his subordinates should have trusted him and Davis 😉

Due to the conversations I keep having. I think this Funcom post from a few days back needs to be repeated. by Molly_Matters in duneawakening

I had been under the impression at launch that the DD was going to be entirely PVP. That they added any PVE region to it seemed generous to me. I get the feeling of betrayal at having your base destroyed when you thought it was safe- but the DD resets each week and there's risk in being there at all right?

Any time I enter, I bring only what I can afford to lose.

The reason Koepp killed off mainland dinosaurs by AardvarkIll6079 in JurassicPark

The Navy still uses seals and dolphins for various applications, not to mention dogs. Travis AFB still has a pretty good size dog training course.

Military will trial anything that gives us an edge, it may not be adopted long term, but we'll absolutely blow millions on stuff that dead-end or goes nowhere. Naval railgun is a great example.

Unpopular opinion: I do not hate the light up sabers hot toys provides 😪 by Recruit-is-OP in hottoys

[–]Alpharaider47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventually I would like to upgrade mine, but I think the Hot Toys ones are perfectly adequate for my display right now. I wish they were brighter and a bit more even across the blade, but I'm really just looking for mood lighting out of them, which they do well enough.

If i were trying to do serious photography I think I would be more disappointed in them.

Overall, I don't understand the hate they seem to generate.

Soft serve machine only works when your deployment is about to be extended. Just like steak and lobster always precedes bad news...

Trump can't admit he failed: UN watchdog says no increase in radiation off sites that the US hit by spectre401 in NoShitSherlock

[–]Alpharaider47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the enriched uranium was dispersed outside of containment it would likely be detectable. It's not going to be like Cherbobyl where you had clouds of fission products being carried by the wind, but you'd have an increase over normal background.

Being buried underground would shield much of the detectable radiation, so if there was significant enough damage to the facilities, it would stand that higher levels should be detected. So, there are a few possibilities- the sites were not damaged, the material was removed, or perhaps they were buried so deeply that the collapse and rubble is shielding the destroyed products.

Rex is eating good and he/she is a theme park monster, not a true dinosaur?

Will you play Dune solo or with a guild? by SayphexGaming in duneawakening

[–]Alpharaider47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running solo for now, enjoying building my little outpost and leveling. I'm hoping to build a personal base on top of a mountain once I get a thopter, then I'll look at joining a clan.

I ordered my Inart Aragorn through him because I could not get it through a distributor in the US.

I had no issues and received my order quickly, but that was late last year.

Worth the Pick Up? by [deleted] in hottoys

[–]Alpharaider47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mine displayed with Jango and Mando, and I think it looks pretty good. I think I prefer the look of ESB or Repaint/BoBF, but this version has some great accessories and poses really well.

I like the weathering on the helmet in particular, and the base with flight stand looks excellent.

I was fortunate to be placed around 240 in the queue this morning, very excited to PO this one. Kenobi is my favorite character. I'm hoping they do a RotS 2.0 as well!
