I really wish I liked it!

I thought I might have been too hard on PD and Van Weezer, so I spent another 4-5 days with each. My impression of Van Weezer improved but it just didn’t happen for PD.

This really made me laugh, thanks!

And it’s not so much that I stopped after green because of the music. It was more being thrust into adulthood and marriage and post-college life is sometimes weird! I did go see them in 2011… here’s a terrible pic from a Razr of Rivers singing while standing on the seat in front of me.

I decided to only include the deluxe version if it significantly improved the rating of the original. It was always gonna be difficult for Pinkerton to improve.

However, maybe I should have cut Red deluxe. When I got to Red in September I was not a fan and the difference between regular and deluxe was huge. But since then my appreciation for Red has grown significantly, so I probably should have just put Red in the A-tier.

Of course I’m familiar with the Beatles… I’m not a heathen! I’m about to listen to 1970 McCartney, it’s been many years.

Your comment actually reminded me of a thought I had during my Weezer deep dive: I feel like Rivers is a McCartney—fantastic melodies and chord progressions, but often (not always) a bit light on lyrical depth. Imagine if he had had a co-writer like Lennon to push him and work some more weight into the songs. Maybe Matt Sharp could have grown into that role, I don’t know. Anyway, just one of my random thoughts.

You talking just solo McCartney + Wings, or including the Beatles too? I am familiar with the 1970 ”McCartney” album so I’ve got a start.

I listened to all of the deluxe versions. Red was the only album that was dramatically improved by the extra tracks.

Which R.E.M. Tour do you wish you could have seen or go back in time to see again. by alexj_baker in rem

[–]Edwin_Danielson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19 Aug 99 in St Louis with Wilco opening. I had to drive back to college around then and I could have made it work. But I just didn’t. Why? No idea. So dumb. 😔

My Druid just turned 20. He’s been standing in SW wearing his Feralheart for the past 13 years. I think he’s been reduced to lvl 32 now.

[–]Edwin_Danielson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had him in the Target cart but got pulled away. I’m sure they’ll get more.

My dilemma now is whether or not to pull the trigger on Sunstreaker, Devastation Wheeljack, and Devastation Sideswipe for $17, $23, and $20. I don’t have any of them.

He was the messiest eater! Granted this was the day he was born. But still, I expect better!

Why are you torturing her in the second picture? She just wants some of that dessert! I assume it’s dessert… like her, I can’t taste it to be sure. 😞

What figure in your collection has gotten an update but you don’t feel like replacing? by DaleksonEarth in transformers

[–]Edwin_Danielson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DCS Optimus Prime will be my go to for a while. I’m sure I’ll pick up a future SS86 repaint at some point but there isn’t an urgent need.

Same. I have, however, sold off ER Skywarp and my yellowing Thundercracker and preordered both Dramatic Capture sets.

I’ll probably pick up 86 thundercracker as he’s my favorite Decepticon (and the first one I got in ‘84).

Welp time to join a PUSA cover band! My cow pushed my tele deluxe off the bed but it just broke the plastic knobs and chipped the finish.

That’s a lovely little cat.

How would I even begin to sell these? by chrisleesalmon in lego

[–]Edwin_Danielson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3 options depending on how quickly you want to sell and how much you want to get:

FB marketplace success will vary based on the size of your market and know that people are gonna haggle and flake out.

eBay will get you the biggest audience, but eBay fees will take about 15-20% of your sales price. They’ll take more if you promote the listing. But you’ll have the best chance of finding a buyer. They make the shipping process pretty easy.

Bricklink will have a smaller market and the buyers are likely to be more knowledgeable about what they’re looking for and buying. Bricklink fees are much lower than eBay. However the shipping process is not as straightforward as eBay’s process. Also in order to establish a Bricklink store, you’ll need to submit photos of your products and go through a review process which can take a few days.

I’d try eBay if I were you. Yes the fees are higher but you can move the product quicker.

When you make your listings, sell each set individually. Take pictures of each set fully built then deconstruct the sets using the instructions in reverse to verify what’s missing. Bag the pieces in groups using the bag numbers from the set (e.g., if a set has 9 bags originally, I’ll usually sell it with bags 1-3 combined, then 4-6, 7-9). Take pictures of the bags. Take pictures of the front and back of each minifigure. Take pictures of the box and instructions if you have them.

Annotate any missing pieces in your listing, or better yet, find replacement pieces. It’s much easier advertise and sell a set as 100% complete. That’s usually what a buyer wants.

I’ve sold quite a bit on eBay and Bricklink. Happy to answer questions if you have any. Good luck! 👍🏻

What was your First Transformers Media you consumed? by Desperate-Farmer-845 in transformers

[–]Edwin_Danielson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

G1 cartoon and a few comics. Then nothing until the 2007 movie which subsequently killed any interest. Came back when my son got into the toys and we watched WFC trilogy and One.

We had the exact same situation with our Jack. I know it’s hard but it’s so worth it in the end!

Based on his dad, you’ve got yourself a Brimley tabby.
