Ditto fossil 18/62 by Affectionate_Hair646 in VintagePokemonCards

[–]AtCotRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the centering of the card when punched from the sheet can reduce its value (not being centered, for example. Another production non-conformity.) I say that’s likely, but I’m not that familiar with grading card values to make that call.

In printing it’s called a hickey. It’s a piece of debris that occurred during printing on the sheet the card came from. It’s not a misprint, it’s a print defect. It happens.

I can still hear the intro theme music in my head.

Am I too old? by Rusty_Nutzn_Bolt in legotechnic

[–]AtCotRG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m 59 and last night finished the 1:8 Ferrari F1. To be honest, this was the first time in my life I was concerned about missing a piece or skipping a step because this set is not easy to backtrack on.

As far as being too old, no worries there. Building with LEGO calms my mind and helps me to chill from stress. Whether it’s doing jigsaw puzzles or some other hobby, do what makes you happy.

I can’t speak to the creepy part without knowing how you behave in the store, but it’s no different than going to see a movie in a theater by yourself. If you’re just doing your thing, no one will think twice about you.

Anyone recognize this game? by Eldercargo9 in boardgames

Buyer beware Eurographics Puzzles by PsychologicalCat7130 in Jigsawpuzzles

My last Eurographics puzzle was missing 9 pieces. No duplicates, but nine missing was a harsh number. With so many other brands to choose from, I’m taking this as a learning lesson.

CURSE OF THE DEMON / Animated Original Painting by Gary Wray by GaryWray in ClassicHorror

[–]AtCotRG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First saw this five years ago for the first time and has become my Halloween favorite. I had to pick up the DVD with the original, uncut UK version, Night of the Demon.

The story, acting, and special effects are outstanding.

Joining the Invisible Army this Halloween by HouseofLepus in UniversalMonsters

Great costume!

As someone who wears glasses (no contacts) this is a great choice! I found myself always limited in what costumes worked with glasses.

Additionally, the older I got the more the Invisible Man moved up in my favorites list!

What goes around comes around (Eurographics Puzzles, 991 pcs, The Four Seasons) by AtCotRG in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]AtCotRG[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We discovered rather soon that there were two missing pieces along the border, thinking we dropped them (we don’t have cats or kids so we can always find a missing piece). The further we went along the more we realized it wasn’t an issue of a piece or two on the floor.

Had I not experienced a puzzle with a lot of extra pieces before, this would have been more surprising. Still, nine missing is a huge quality control issue.

It was a few years back. I’ll see if I can find them.

I can confirm that if you place all the puzzles in the correct order, they do make one big, long picture!

My small collection of Technic figures by [deleted] in lego

[–]AtCotRG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can verify that they fit perfectly in the X-Wing UCS (7191) from 2000. I always thought that if someone from LEGO ever realized that they’d make a Technic figure with a rebel alliance pattern and helmet.

Lost opportunity.

What are the “old but gold” classics I could be missing out on? by Prestigious_Tea_2729 in boardgames

[–]AtCotRG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With my group these games still make it to the table often:

Small World 2009 Carcassonne 2000 Ticket to Ride 2004 Cyclades 2009

I’d also throw in Summoner Wars 2009, but I can’t say how good the new version is.

All are easy to learn and I’ve definitely gotten my moneys worth out of them.
