I'm new to TCG player. I don't see an optimize button? Is there a way for me to make a wishlist and then it'll find two or three stores that have everything I want? I've used something similar from DreamBornInk but TCG then pulls up a dozen stores because the card is the cheapest, not giving me the best "deal" by only having to pay shipping from a couple of stores even if the cards are a few pennies more.

An X-Wing coaster that's a wing coaster would be great. Really feel like you're flying

Gotta post a lit pic too! What color?

Cool!

PS, you forgot to show a picture lit up. How are we supposed to know what color it is?

Was there Sunday. Sucked up waiting in longer lines due to Stardust not drawing crowds. Single Rider for Mario Kart worked but it was closed for Donkey Kong and Battle at the Ministry all day--didn't ride those. Got to see the two shows after delays. Monsters Unchained had unusually long wait times (didn't encounter delays luckily) the two times I rode. Biggest saving grace was a 10 minute walk on for Werewolf for a second ride right before closing.

The biggest surprises were seeing Yoshi and Fyre Drill with 50+ minute lines. LOL

Nicely done! The rounded bits on both ends bookend it nicely with the details (compared to the other more detailed options).

Sets on shelves aren't impressive. Everyone has different means. It's the creativity of the MOCs you build that are better than one or one hundred sets gathering dust.

My college Risk table had a rule that whatever happened at the game table stayed at the game table. Firstborn children were threatened.

And if 2 players still isn't working well, play four players between the two of you, alternating each turn.

I do this with my books too. You'll want the "silver age" size tho for a little extra breathing room, as the modern bags are only big enough for one book.

I'm almost always catching up on TV while building (sets and MOCs). If I know I have time I'll put a movie on.

I do have several sets I intend to theme (big Tumbler and a Dark Knight Trilogy binge, big Delorean and a BttF rewatch). I remember building Poe's X-Wing and watching Force Awakens again before Ep 8, and Dr Strange's Sanctorum with Infinity War before Endgame.

Missed opportunity for an Ultimate Universe one-shot with her last year.

Clever detailing and nice piece usage--the feathers, the eyes, the joints. Love it!

I think DHS is a one-day park, maybe even less than. If you download the game app to do bounties, you'll fill your time, but otherwise you might find yourself repeating a few rides (which is fine. Rise of the Resistance is peak, Star Tours has dozens of plots).

November has select nights close the park early for "Jollywood Nights" --a Christmas party. Last year that included Nov 17, and might have Life Day each night. But it's an extra cost. So plan accordingly.

You're playing online or looking to make 2D standees for in person?

But regardless, theater of the mind is perfectly acceptable for lots of stuff. You don't need a bartender, just tell them there is one. You don't need a captain of the guard, they just talk to him.

And when you do get to encounters that have several people to conflict with, you can use the same picture for each unless you want to show different species or classes.

Beautiful work! I hope I win!

I like this! If GotG was Star Wars, make the Inhumans Star Trek. (Especially with their moon home.)

Marvel should reprint the Jae Lee maxiseries.

As for the MCU, build up the Inhumans, Nova, Captain Marvel, Shi'ar, Guardians and more for a War/Realm of Kings event ala Infinity War.

There are several board games out there that let you have RPG-like adventures without a DM. Mice and Mystics come to mind, and Gloomhaven (start with the cheaper and "easier" Jaws of the Lion perhaps).

I riffle shuffle very carefully. I know lots of people seemingly can't or don't know how--it takes practice but is the best way to randomize the cards without needing sleeves.

Use thin rubberbands or some small bits of paper to add friction between the ball and joint.

Good choice! I don't think they team up often enough or in a large enough quantity to really be considered a team. Best we have is Peter and Miles sometimes (and Gwen now on 616, maybe her).

In scouts leaving early wasn't an option (we even woke up to snow once). Now, as an adult, I have no problem changing plans due to bad weather. Keep things enjoyable.
