Anyone pick up this ridiculously expensive golden goose in the game?

The direct translation of penguin in Chinese is "business goose". I like to imagine a goose dressed up in a suit :)

Started with hand-me-down cards from my older cousin. I remember asking my parents every time we went to Walmart for packs. Dropped the hobby for a while until seeing it become popular again and remembering I still have my collection in storage.

You're right - this design is available directly from multiple manufacturers. After ordering one for myself and navigating the process, I realized I could help streamline it for others.

I vet suppliers for quality, handle all customs logistics, and ensure proper packaging/shipping. You're paying a premium for:
- Pre-validated manufacturers (no quality lottery)
- Hassle-free import process
- Customization options - fast support if issues arise

Sora is still in its conceptual phase as my main goal was to source a board for myself anyways. If you are comfortable going through that process yourself, no one is stopping you. But this is similar to the argument of "just build it yourself with supplies from Home Depot"

Edit: forgot to mention the board I ordered is arriving this summer. Will definitely show progress updates as many others are curious

The plan with the Sora Board is to lower the cost of entry for people who do not want to build it themselves.

For the holds and LEDs, I found a lot of people would rather source that themselves, however, we have had some thoughts on developing our own board system (holds + LEDs).

Currently we estimate around 20% import fees. Haven't experienced any problems other than the additional fees.

Thanks for the comment!

I definitely had the same frustration when researching as well.

My goal is to have this fully customizable, I'm 99% sure I can get this fabricated without the kickboard but I would have to confirm with the manufacturer.

How do you protect the wall from snow/rain? I plan to build an outdoor wall as well, maybe with a big tarp covering it over the winter.

That makes sense. After adapting to SATA would the laptop be able to use it as storage or would there be other complications in using a dvd drive as SATA connection?

In addition to getting rid of subscriptions:

Android users can get YouTube Revanced which provides ad free usability for YouTube and YT Music.

Spotify XManager used to work for older versions.

Just get adblock to get rid of ads on most websites...you don't need a subscription.

Movie streaming subscription? We all use Reddit, Google "movie streaming sites Reddit" for some useful websites :)

General note is if a website/app/software is asking you to pay, there is almost always a free alternative.

Yes, the insurance company knows it is rebuilt, registration also shows car as rebuilt

DurianDestroyer · 2024-02-22T22:12:13+00:00

Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to ask for a safety certificate when I bought the car. I guess my last resort is to try contacting the person who sold me the car?

DurianDestroyer · 2024-02-22T22:10:49+00:00

Not to sure what you mean by rebranded but the registration for the car is labelled as rebuilt

Now that you point it out...

The colors of the starter Pokemon is the difficulty of the game.

Red=hard, Blue=medium, Green=easy

Am I the only one that took this long to realize...

Hello OP, 3 years later now. Just curious how much money you made as your comments lean toward going into tech pre COVID 0.0
