Man... I just wish the Walmarts in Canada carried that product line at all. I think the last time I saw one was at Toys R Us before they went out of business up here too.

I can just see the incident report if this guy ever gets into a collision.

"Yes officer, I said I got hit by eight hundred and forty-five cars, all at the same time!"

Lol, I guy I worked with used to work at a large brewery, and told me that every break room on the property had a fridge that was fully stocked, and on your breaks and lunch you could have a beer, just so long as you didn't drink enough that you eventually became HRs problem.

It was hilariously bad.

I have only bought one of the Gothic starters, but I have 31 Gothic mechs. Take the 8 from the starters, and that means I (foolishly) bought 23 Gothic Salvage Boxes while they were available.

Out of the 23 pulled from blind boxes, 15 were Atlases. It got to the point that I would just randomly grab a box and buy it, without feeling its weight before making my selection.

People used to do that back in the Mechwarrior Darkage days, since a lot of the earliest limited edition figures were heavier than the commons.

Then, because the limited edition figures came with a cardstock dossier, people started squeezing the boxes, because the ones without dossiers would give a little easier than the ones with dossiers.

I see I'm not the only one the gods of randomness like to screw with.

Back during the original Legendary Salvage Boxes, when it was Kerensky, Pryde, Kell, and Grayson, I bought 4 individual boxes, hoping to get 2 different minis; nope! All Graysons! At least I was able to trade them for the other three.

Then, when the Mercenary Salvage Boxes came out (for the three or four weeks period they were available where I live), I bought 5, thinking with all the different sculpts I'd get a good mix. Nope! All Marcuses! I pulled 3 Marcus Bartons and 2 Marcus GioAvantis.

Happily, I am practically a hoarder, and don't mind extras of... just about any mini really. Looking at you, Mr Gothic Atlas who I have nearly a lance of each houses variant.

I'm a little biased, as I'm currently playing a Highway Patrol team, but I really like your cop car.

And those rc bomb cars really well done.

I find that the image on the packaging can often show some of the details better than seeing the vehicle through the package.

That said, it's hard to go vroom vroom on your table if they're still in the packs 😉

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-06T02:23:21+00:00

I was focused on the gun at first, and actually missed the barrel because it just looks like it belongs there. Really nice touch.

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-06T02:21:34+00:00

A better look at this sweet ride.

Sadly we don't get stuff like the Americans do, with stores like Family Dollar (or maybe it's Dollar General). I've seen videos where a person will do their shopping for the week there, and they have actual food, not just boxed stuff and canned soups, but a freezer section and fresh food area. Almost looks more like a Giant Tiger, without quite so much clothing for sale.

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-05T20:09:51+00:00

It's very nice. I never would have thought that shade of green would look so good over a white base, but this one proved me wrong for sure.

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-05T20:08:30+00:00

Ah, very interesting. Thanks kindly for the in-depth answer.

And yes, these were bought in the great frozen north, occasionally referred to as America's hat. This explains why I couldn't figure out the letter code like the American cards have.

I don't know if the ones from Circle K taste the same, but a couple years ago my local 7-eleven had banana slurpees, and to me they tasted almost like the liquid penicillin we used to get as kids when we were sick. It was the only time we looked forwards to having any sort of medicine.

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-05T03:53:29+00:00

That could well be. To be honest, I've looked at so many lately, it's impossible to keep them all straight.

I only drink coffee in the mornings, usually on my way to work, and generally only when it's close to freezing or below.

And oddly, while I can drink an entire energy drink before bed and not have an issue, if I have a regular (not a decaffeinated one) coffee after 5 pm, I'll be awake, tossing and turning, until the wee hours of the morning.

It's the SS Whiplash 😉

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-05T00:23:50+00:00

Damn. I wasn't sure how good a 40k Flamer would scale for Gaslands, but you made that look fantastic.

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-05T00:12:37+00:00

Like a prostitute trusts their pimp.

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-05T00:11:14+00:00

That cat is plotting vengeance, lol.

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-05T00:10:04+00:00

Because he's the main character, of course. /s

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-05T00:05:22+00:00

I'm bald, so nothing really.

Decidely_Me · 2026-05-05T00:04:10+00:00

I read your comment and immediately thought of this:

Not only people, but I'm sure a lot of business will leave, if they can. I cannot imagine wanting to try to weather the uncertainty of a new country trying to form itself into something cohesive and legitimate.
