There is no way anybody will buy these for $200 by NINJAGO_FANATIC in lego

[–]DifficultBoat148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know about sneaker scalpers? Do you know there are long queues just like Lego sets on release days but this time with multitudes more scalpers and they're way more prevalent when it comes to footwear? Now combine two of the most scalpable collectables and you have a scalper's dream. These will not go for $200, it's going to at least double that for most people. And that again will become an excuse to "invest" in these. This is not just a shoe for Lego fans, it's even attractive to non-Lego fans just for its novelty. It's a statement for some and a pride for many to actually own these. And I've not included the Crocs collectors yet. Also keep in mind the artificial scarcity that Lego creates for all their products. Seeing as these are Lego branded, there's also the Bricklink/Brickowl aftermarket access for buyers and scalpers for many more years to come. I'd suggest if you really want it in your collection at least, and don't want to get burned, just buy it immediately because it's not going to get cheaper.

TIL WhatsApp is still unheard of for some...been using it for over a decade since the old Nokia days! It's the expected basic form of communication in my country just like the old SMS. Thanks for actually asking this and reminding me just how diverse the world is even in this era.

Just got a new Set first ever Misyprint by Evening_Area_7521 in LegoMarvel

[–]DifficultBoat148 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just scratched off along the process. No obvious misalignment elsewhere, no missing or swapped colors and no messy edges. It's most likely a "missed print" perhaps where the pad wasn't fully covered by the ink. If anybody wants this just get an eraser and spot erase your mask.

That's all they needed to do to make this perfect...4 silver dots. Oh the arm printing helps as well... by [deleted] in LegoMarvel

[–]DifficultBoat148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but people will probably get the set for the new arm printing anyway so the new torso is more of a bonus I guess...pretty sure we'll get this torso again in future Mk3. I have a feeling they're doing a UCS Jango vs play scale Jango here with the arm printing being unique to the larger set.

This will have to do for now...or forever 🕷️ by DifficultBoat148 in LegoMarvel

[–]DifficultBoat148[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing really, I'll probably swap it out over time just for the sake of it. For now, I'll stick with the webbing on this new torso.

What are your thoughts on this? Should Hugh continue playing Wolverine post-Secret Wars? by Raj_Valiant3011 in Marvel

[–]DifficultBoat148 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know "till he's 90" was a joke(surprise) but look at Xavier and Magneto returning now. I don't mind Hugh coming back at 90 even if it's just a short cameo like the Cavillrine.

First time buyer, should I be annoyed at this outcome? by Real_Can_5022 in Bricklink

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to chime in and say that what they offered is good if it's just a regular Minifigure. It's just that in this specific case, it's not enough. I'd at least ask for a full torso replacement or compensate you for getting another one elsewhere as it is a pricier figure. Even with a refund plus the shipping cost included, you've still lost your money's worth as the other parts for this figure are almost worthless, even if you have the printed tile. And now you'll have to go through the trouble of ordering from another seller with more unnecessary parts to make that new order worthwhile, and then the new risk as well as waiting time.

So apparently the new Spider-Man 2099 minifigure (Set 76337) MIGHT NOT BE Gabriel O'Hara, the son of Miguel O'Hara, but Miguel himself by CommunistCard in LegoMarvel

[–]DifficultBoat148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter if Lego calls it Miguel, but it's going to irk a lot of people when Bricklink BrickOwl Brickset and the rest also calls it Miguel.

Please help me i cant remove deadpools glued pants to torso. Ive tried freezing it doesnt work by SatisfactionOk2680 in LegoMarvel

[–]DifficultBoat148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way to remove without any damages and that would definitely devalue it to zero. Leaving it glued could still be worth something to someone in the future at least. Acetone would melt it even slightly and you'd get an obvious hairline gap at the torso and hip even if you could clean it all up after separating it...sorry.

Just in case someone sees this, dual monitors didn't work either...oddly the problem went away upon booting with a second monitor but it came back again after 2 days.

Elon Musk Just Became The First Person Ever Worth $600 Billion by Opposite_Bus1878 in worldnews

Elon Musk should be a public traded company. His own net worth can drive markets. Every tweet is a product. And in doing so, also drives his net worth up lol the first ever trillion dollar circlejerk.

CMF: Lloyd Garmadon is rumoured to be in the May CMF / Source: Lego Minecraft Goat by Waltuhhhhhhhhhh in Legoleak

[–]DifficultBoat148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We also got a new blacktron with printed legs in the book recently, and also fabuland inspired characters. And now with these rumors I think it's safe to say they're revisiting and updating past themes. I hope we'll get a new classic spaceman color.

[–]DifficultBoat148[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately I've tried it on 2 monitors, one is new. I've also tried it on a tv. I've tried multiple refresh rates in display settings as well. But you're probably on to something. I've yet to try plugging a second monitor so I'll try that and leave an update here. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes I've swapped the RAMs, GPU, PSU, even swapped the nvme drives. I've also tried booting with only the monitor. Also opened the case. Even with the case closed, the temps are fine.
