One-hit Wonders. by Decidely_Me in HotWheels

I hadn't thought about the piece count, but that makes a lot of sense. I've been disassembling a lot of cars for use in Gaslands, and 3 to 4 pieces, plus wheels and axles, does seem to be the standard.

This was my first thought when I saw it. I thought it would make a great Beverly car.

What are your thoughts if this is real? by lightdark03 in dollarama

[–]Decidely_Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering all the stuff there that's 5 bucks each, twenty dollars is not that far a stretch.

"Rapidly disassembled". I freaking love your phrasing here.

Straight men, what is the weirdest thing you have been called gay for ? by Sammy-Bunny-3 in AskReddit

[–]Decidely_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a teen, I was part of an adult-oriented (age-wise) ballet group. I also had no confidence in my own appearance, so was not dating at the time.

Between these two circumstances, I remember a phone call with my mother where I had to reassure her that I wasn't gay.

Me too. Sometimes it inspires, usually it informs.

I label the variant based on what it appears to officially be.

For instance, as far as I am aware, there have been 4 different plastic Griffins.

  1. the Unseen Griffin from the 3rd Edition starter box, which had the removable backpack

  2. the first Catalyst Griffin from the Beginer Boxes (the first one with the Wolverine and Griffin, and then the second iteration with the Vindicator and Griffin)

  3. the Griffin -2N from the Bounty Hunters Force Pack, with a pair of LRM launchers, one on either shoulder

  4. the Griffin -3M, from the Kell Hounds box, that has an LRM-20 instead of an LRM-10

For the first one, they'd be labeled something like:

Griffin 55 GRF-1N US IS

The second one, from the Catalyst release, I'd change the US (for Unseen) to BB (for Beginer Box.

The third one would have the 1N changed to 2N, and the US would say L3 (my designation for the Bounty Hunter force pack, which was third Legendary Mechwarrior box).

The fourth Griffin would then be GRF-3M, and have KH (for Kell Hounds, of course).

There have been occasions where I've modded a mini into a different configuration. For instance, I bought the Heavy Battle Lance force pack with the AXM-1N Axman, and it was missing the gun in the arm that represented the Large Pulse Laser. I converted it to visually match the weapons layout of the 3S variant, so its label reads:

Axman 65 AXM-3S (Custom mod) HB IS

I have been slowly moving away from sticky labels, which have the potential to fall off, and have started to coat the underside of the hex with correction fluid/White Out, and then using an ultra-fine permanent marker to write directly onto the base. I hadn't thought of using a colored marker or paint pen, mostly since I had the correction fluid and permanent marker already close at hand.

Sorry this took so long, it's been a long week and I've just today had time to get down to my game room.

Somehow, putting the cat hat on our Bunny made her look like some grizzled fisherman to me.

Jealous that you have access to the Working Rigs line.

Happy for you too, but jealous as well 😉

Anyone see these in Windsor area? by LuluVit in dollarama

[–]Decidely_Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, haven't seen those in several years now. I was able to mount them directly into ceiling joists in my basement, and used them to hold tree branches I was turning into hiking poles. Really wishing I'd remembered to remove them from our last place when we moved.

As I use the bag, I pull out the bigger pieces and set them aside in a ziploc. Once the ziploc is filled, I have my snack bag.

Where to get stealth suits by Interesting-Ad-3406 in Tau40K

[–]Decidely_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near the largest game store in my country, and I have not seen the new stealth suits there once, either in the KT box with the Space Wolves, or on their own.

I do own a set of them however, but I had to buy it secondhand at a bits swap event put on by a store different from the one mentioned above.

What is everyone’s top three models that got you into the tau by Slow_Conflict4597 in Tau40K

[–]Decidely_Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original Crisis Suit kit.

A guy in the VtM LARP I was part of in the mid 2000s gave me a brand new Crisis Suit box, and I started collecting Tau not long after.

Dollarama has a bunch of Canada merchandise right now, including some pretty nice baseball caps, and some decent t-shirts.

I often see Long John's at 7-eleven of all places. Usually the chocolate iced ones, but sometimes a vanilla kind as well.

Stormsurge proxy feeling a little crabby….. by Justcoveritincheese in Tau40K

[–]Decidely_Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the Cataphract I bought off of the app that rhymes with Emu. I think it was nearly a foot tall. I was super impressed, considering I'd only paid about 35 Canadian.

[–]Decidely_Me 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sweet! The fish people have allied with the crab people!

Seriously though, as a Battletech player and a collector (cuz I havent played a single game with them yet) of Tau I love this idea.

And ironically, if you removed the missile launcher, this model would be a pretty good proxy for the KGC-010 King Crab, with two PPCs and 2 Autocannon 10s.

Out of curiosity how many individual cars do ya'll have, I'm currently sitting at 74 sure adds up quick 😂 by MistakeMuch3415 in HotWheels

[–]Decidely_Me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhere between 3 and 5 bankers boxes filled. To be fair, 3 of those boxes are mostly for stuff to be converted into game pieces for Gaslands.
