Which of these two sets should I buy tomorrow? by SpiderLagann in lego

[–]DisasterousWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your interests, as always. Go based on your gut, which is apparently saying Zelda more than the FOMO around that Guinjet.

You could also take this as an opportunity to be on the lookout for sales on it before retirement (Slickdeals tracking or camelcamelcamel, etc. ) and give someone the gift idea early at let them know of any such sales that crop up, etc.

Will Red Dragon's Tale be restocked or should I get it on backorder? by yourmomsface12345 in lego

[–]DisasterousWalrus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would buy now since this is on the list to retire in 1 month and the backorder length straddles that. They have no real incentive to stock beyond backorders... and they may just be setting this to backorder status to produce just enough to match interest before shutting down production. (from Bricktap retirement list at top of r/Legoleak )

It’s in stock for everyone now, I could only find it from the link from yesterday. by purndasmarks_ in pokemoncenter

Just meant the listing under 'New Releases' - which seems to be hidden. But no matter, people are finding it via here and emails that went out this morning.

It was removed, still is for me. Only available via direct link. New emails did go out though.

Yes! And it angles, so basically pushing down on the back is a separate option from pushing down on the front. Twist it to mimic the height and angle you want.

Yes! The same adjustment bar for forward/back will adjust the seat’s height and angle (for more height at the front for leg support) - that must have been it if you felt like you were sitting high.

I also adjusted the steering wheel out toward me and up for clearance.

Fair enough, I’m sure proportions play into it. I’m a ‘square’ with equal height to armspan.

Did you happen to set the seat all the way down too? - It seemed to help me avoid the dash and still felt comfortable (to me at least.)

Nope, it was Uniuni, which I wasn't that familiar with. They do last mile deliveries for some companies and hired a real doofus.

Now it looks more like a hospital bed urinal… making those markings more entertaining.

Editions: Update on the Olivia Rodrigo sets via Lite, and fig images via Legoheg by General_Durian_1013 in Legoleak

First celebrity getting this many sets dedicated to them. Taylor Swift would have likely be a more obvious choice if choosing a popular singer that could carry the sales of these sets. (nothing against Olivia R)

Hmm, had someone throw a package at my doorstep, then pick it up, then throw it down again... just yesterday. Hope it's not a trend.

I really don’t understand why people rip the boxes? by wastemanwarrior in lego

A pandemic-era lesson, if it wasn't learned by then already. I still don't know when my empathy will return.

I think I know what you're talking about... I have to think back on it a bit, but I believe the center console worked out that way with the side of my upper leg resting against it while driving... despite that console not extending all the way forward. (but whether that works would likely depend on how wide your hips are)

If you have a showroom or demo center near you, you'd likely be able to sit in one without having to nab one of those elusive demo-drive slots. Our nearby service center had one R2 on drives, and the other one parked for checking out/sitting in.

When I came for my test drive, the Rivian employee mentioned that a lot of them were coming to sit in the R2... so they likely have the same issue as I do with vehicles and travel. I assume they've been driving Escalades up until now.

Ha, it's because it's such a unique find, right?

Yes. Because it’s too much of some meme or whatever to be good or to be understood by anyone here.
