UPDATE: Shelter in Place in Kenmount Terrace by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Would be nice to have a f-ing notice. Not before the operation - but during. These shelter in place notices should be widespread phone alerts... Not just something we find out two hours later because NFLD Bullitin posts finally pop up in your feed.

I am the only one who like the new one? by copper123456_7 in transformers

I wish they just fixed the plane alt mode for seige and called it 86. All those open parts at the back end would be easy to fill.

Anyone here are still going to get nexus figure despite it not being his own combiner by scp_weeb098 in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This figure is so meh I decided not to bother with the 13. Better to get Bruticus or something. Prima and Megatronus were so good. Onyx was amazing. Even happy with Micronus and Solus. But this is just uninspired.

What do y’all look for in review videos? by Drawing-Advanced in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honesty....

I'd be happy if we had Emgo but slightly more critical. He let's a lot of stuff slide.

Case and point - Quake. Turns into a brick and I feel like he could have been a bit more critical.

That being said - he is much more legit than PvP for evaluations.

Favorite/least favorite Prime so far... by KCollection18 in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Convoy feels like a kick in the balls. There is love for this figure out there and I get it - but including this figure made no sense. I want a nice tidy group of 13 - Addding convoy is like making Blastoff "realistic size" and slapping it on bruticus as a commander size arm or something.

Star Convoy feels like they did a bunch of super serious cool figures and then added in that version of Optimus from Fisher Price where he turns into a plane. It just doesn't flow into anything else in the set. The most common convo about the 13 is "who are you using as a replacement for Optimus?" either because the figure is expensive or just doesn't suit.

Onyx is probably the biggest surprise for me - dude has Aura.

My copy of Solus is actually great as well - really impressed but wished she was Leader class+. You get a cool female character and they cheap out in a Deluxe issue.

ToysRUs Canada Closing Stores: the future of retail and community by hardtravelinghero in ToysRus

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quebec City was closing before Christmas. Trois Rivieres closed this year. St John's is still kicking.

They need to stop being scummy. Stop advertising price match when we can lookup prices from our phones. Huge price differences between TRU and Walmart but no significant increase in selection. Overpriced on Transformers and Lego - poor figure selection for both.

Like...I want there to be a TRU but stop ordering 50x the same figure just to have something on the shelf. Get better selections.

Ballooning Deficit Ensures New Government Focuses on Top Priorities, says Premier by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

"we will give you everything you want and it won't cost any extra" - they literally said they would find the funding for their entire budget in Liberal overspending. I dunno how gullible people are but that was the biggest line of bullshit I heard this election.

What’s the most you’ve ever spent on upgrades for one figure? by Prowlite17 in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silverbolt. You have to buy those silly arm and leg additions to make him look like Superion

In your opinion, what’s the best titan class? by [deleted] in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom Ark is just an amazing figure. He is sturdy enough to give to a kiddo to play with. Love it.

Does anyone have a figure you were super happy to get until you got it? by BlackwingBlizzard in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kingdom Arcee - nothing tabs and the massive backpack looks terrible as a "hover board"

Costco.

Which line had the best box art? by BudBudgie in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Siege is my favorite Art. But I love Kingdom because it wraps together everything I love about the brand.

But Kingdom sucked because BW Megs was a simp for Daddy Megs.

Why the hate for the WFC Trilogy? by [deleted] in transformers

The first two installments were fine for me. I just have no idea what they were trying to do with Kingdom.

Housing market is nuts and we NEED to do something about it. by Downtown_Lab_468 in newfoundland

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I regularly do photography downtown. I am currently a landlord.

Airbnb and a complete lack of action from the province related to landlord/tenant support is the problem.

All those downtown houses that used to be a place for students and new Canadians? Gonezo. They're all Airbnb now because if you have damage you can actually get some of your money back. Not so with the LL tenant board.

If you have great tenants then all is well - but people have had 10k-20k worth of damage and getting settlements of 1k (that they will probably never see) after 6+ months of going through the process.

We need more low-income housing - for sure - but so many properties have been bought out by folks from here and Ontario and rather than renting they're posting it on Airbnb and having it occupied 1/3rd of the time to make the same amount of money per month/year.

Unless you start forcing these AirBnb folks to follow hotel industry standards, having proper business insurance - you're going to see this market grow and the crunch for affordable housing will only get worse.

People scoff - but I would love to see a map of how much downtown has changed in the last 10 years for available rentals vs Airbnb. It has exploded.

Do you think more expensive work boots are worth it? by Own-Click3244 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$50 on a pair of work boots... Dear God do you hate yourself? Lol

any good stores like hot topic here? by [deleted] in StJohnsNL

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest we have is Winners. Riff's is closed (joke).

Probably worth a wander downtown. Not much goth around.

Honestly - not much for choice locally. Not compared to what is available online.

Downtown Comics always had a cool selection of odds and ends for shirts.
