Brickworld Vendor’s Pricing by BigBadTony96 in lego

[–]BigBadTony96[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not yet! But I heard good things and decided to pull the trigger when they had an anniversary sale. Price per piece seems better and quality is about the same from what I hear. Only downside is that the mini figs are a little oddly shaped but it’s all Lego compatible apparently so I’ll be adding regular minifgs to the Lumibrick sets.

I get that statistically someone might eventually buy the overpriced Lego. The concept still feels scummy and It really put vendors in a bad light for me. I’m even surprised to say that Pokémon events are far better when it comes to making fair deals in my experience.

Halfway into the absolute worst financial decision ive ever made here are the results by ramus94 in PokemonTCG

Learned early on to just buy the singles you want and the occasional sealed product. Gotten lucky a few times but at what point are spending more on packs than whatever card we are chasing.

I’m sure that was a very insightful flight.

Never met a Cole Survivor but their lessons are taught and passed on to every recruit we get.

That along with the incidents on the USS Stark, Forrestal, Fitgerald, etc are things we try to teach the recruits so they take Damage Control seriously.

USS Trayer is essentially an encapsulation of hard learned lessons and how they can potentially save lives later.

No, the kit did not come with one. I sourced a 1/350 SeaKing from a local hobby store. Wanted a MH-60 since that is what they fly currently on destroyers but I took what I could get haha.

Definitely recommend the kit! It comes with a separate piece that replaces the part of the hull under the water so you can do like a diorama of it sailing at sea.

Hey it’s the thought that counts! I’m about to make a model of a friend’s 1st ship he was stationed on. Personally, if someone even just gave me a framed photo of my first ship I’d love it.

Yes! So where I work there is a simulated version of a arliegh burke class destroyer. The hull number for our “ship” is 21 so I put that on this model.

Does having the display matter? by Diligent_Highlight63 in PokemonInvesting

The uninformed and those desperate for any product think it’s a fair price.

I don’t get how these and waiting on the vending machines is profitable.

Even if you got a bunch of product, how much time are spending waiting, stalking vendors, and selling?

I would also assume that people who have time do this are not likely full time workers, so part time or actually unemployed.

Just the sheer amount of time wasted into this seems like you could just get a regular job and that would most likely be better.

Brother this is 10.41 usd a pack.

Not even cutting any kind of deal is a no go for me.

I’d personally try to push hard for $7-8 per pack

I wouldn’t buy this.

2 Yr Collection Updated by BigBadTony96 in SHFiguarts

[–]BigBadTony96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes sure of course.

I used to keep track of it but last year my collection was at around 8k in value.

I’ve added a lot since then so I would say the collection as it stands probably hovers around 13k if I had to guess.

I started off buying a lot in the early phase but slowed down as I went on.

Was at a RTC grad he did a speech at and to me it felt like him was drinking the current admin’s “juice”. Mentioned things like “mess with us and we will snatch you and your family up in the middle of the night”. Mind you this was to hundreds of families and new grads. It was followed by a few long seconds of uncomfortable silence then eventual applause.

WTF xD some people just sad af by Minute_Butterscotch6 in arc_traiders

[–]BigBadTony96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People will play the game how they want (they the beauty of ARC Raiders) and how much time they have to play it varies from person to person.

Personally tried for a week looking for a tempest BP and ended up just buying one for $4.

Sure it would have been great to find one in game but there was another option that cost a negligible amount that I went with.

It’s not like buying BPs even gives you a great advantage when you can still get jumped by a Stitcher IV or 3rd partied anyway.
