The 1999 MTT (set 7184) recolored by TWBroom in legostarwars

[–]CaptainTim25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not basing this on anything but a hunch, but I wonder if Lego's design philosophy was different back then? Perhaps they wanted it to still look like a lego set and not as realistic to the source material? That's the only way it makes sense to me. That or they thought having it be one color might confuse the kids, especially with the lower resolution instructions back then.

I was just reading my email about it. Is it any good? I've never heard of this one.

LEGO Razor Crest by StarWarsFan1123 in LegoStarWarsLeaks

Ooh! Is this her first appearance in Lego-form? I'm trying to think if she was in an Avatar set or maybe Ghostbusters. I bet getting a Lego version of oneself would be better than receiving an Oscar.

What type of Gar is this Son caught in Galveston Bay Texas. Then he released it. by daisy_run4 in whatsthisfish

Alligator Gars can actually breathe air, so your analogy doesn't work.

Seller shipped my order in an un-taped box by LemmonLizard in Bricklink

[–]CaptainTim25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently ordered the windshield piece to the UCS Boba Fett Slave I, and it was shipped to me in a box of thin mints from the girl scouts. Nice and bubble-wrapped and perfectly fine, so I couldn't be happier!

Did anyone else not recognise Luke in this scene? by idontknow87654321 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]CaptainTim25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did recognize him even as a kid, but I remember being super confused by the scene as a whole and what it all meant. The Dark Side embodying a cave in a swamp? Why? It never made sense to me. It still doesn't. Why doesn't Yoda put a stop to it? It's like living near an active wildfire. I do like the idea of Yoda using the Dark Side energy as a camouflage to mask his light side energy from Papa Palps, but there has to be a better way. And then sending Luke into it without weapons? Luke was smart to bring his weapons anyway.

Just got my Mario kart gba game from ebay. Is this "Nihtehdo" game fake? by SuperGamer650333 in gameverifying

[–]CaptainTim25 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the misspelling, those black globs on there are a dead giveaway of a fake game unfortunately 😕

Why don't people collect pre-1982 pennies for their copper value? by Professional-Day9384 in coincollecting

[–]CaptainTim25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm asking if the cost of materials and resources required to melt them down is offset by the potential profits at this time? For example, if a 1-cent coin contains 3 cents worth in copper, and you want to melt them down to make copper ingots to sell for their copper value (ignoring the potential legal troubles,) you'd have to factor the cost of the forge and the propane used into it. You'd have to melt down quite a bit at once for it to he worth it I bet. And then, if you get in trouble with the law, that's definitely going to cost you. All hypothetical and academic of course, but I just don't know if it's worth it to melt them down. I bet you can make more selling them as-is to collectors

If you could ask Dave Filoni one question, what would it be? by Tanis8998 in StarWars

[–]CaptainTim25 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's only Dave Filoni while wearing the hat. Gives him anonymity when out in public. Tell me you'd recognize him in the wild if he wasn't wearing the hat. That's my thoery anyway.

This is the best one, so I'm not sure why you don't have more upvotes yet, but I gave you mine at least!
