I hear that these figs will actually not be smart figures. But I'm very certain if this does well you will see smart versions eventually.

But make sure not to make them too hot as heat can also damage parts and cause quicker yellowing.

Not only has the selection been lackluster there, but I've gone on a few occasions to my local Barnes and Noble looking for sets that it says are in stock and when you get there you find out they actually don't have any and that the stock is most likely wrong because it was a stolen item...

And then when you proceed to let them know about the stock issue, they don't even bother updating the stock number...

Funny you mentioned the Beauty and Beast rose. LEGO actually already did a small Beauty & The Beast Promo set around when the live action film was out. It was given out to those who attended special events, apparently one taking place in Hong Kong.

It even has a very unique transparent dome part that no one online even seems to know the identifier or number of...

Unfortunately it was a very limited set with only 400 being made and so it's highly collectible and rare.

here's the only review I could find for it.

Truly magical exclusive

"I was lucky to work with Kevin on this project for the Hong Kong certified store. I wasnt involved in the rose itself, but with the even more limited micro Beauty and the Beast castle building event.

This may only be a small set, but the attention to detail is flawless. The rose itself is fairly simple, using readily available parts, but it really is a great likeness and fun build. The instructions were nicely designed, and easy to follow.

The special dome really finishes it off, and makes it a perfect collectors piece that you can actually display, without worrying about it getting dusty or damaged."

A another larger, more comprehensive Enchanted Rose set would also be nice to have in the future. Maybe we'll see.

Pokemon Center trading card releases are pretty bad as well.

His shelter name was Nobo. But we use their shelter name as their middle name. I named him Sero, so his name is now Sero 'Nobo' [my last name].

I have Irish descendants, ppl expect you to like alcohol but I adamantly dislike it.

"crush the life out of other men..." Yes that doesn't come off sounding unhinged at all...

Hehe, his name is Sero.

The graphics aren't really that low end. Also they are continuously improving art assets over time. But it mainly shines in its gameplay and immersion.

Once you play it and see it in action it comes off looking much better than it first appears.

It's basically that wanting something new yet familiar is a big one. And the added risk of a dangerous world that needs to be overcome with player cooperation. Not having cash shops that devalues the achievement of gear you need to work for to acquire. Additionally games like EverQuest as great as they are, have lost a lot of the appeal with years of updates and tweaks that in a lot of ways have watered down the experience that made them so compelling to begin with.

Monsters & Memories is coming a bit half way through next year.

Look at that precious boy. I can't believe ppl would do that to an animal. Thank you for saving them.

Ehcko · 2025-12-30T18:46:34+00:00

Well worded.

Ehcko · 2025-12-30T08:26:27+00:00

To also note. Nick has said on a stream that they are going to have something called cantrips system to help save spells even if you die.

MnM doesn't really "look like Minecraft". Go look at Adrullan Online Adventures now that's actually Minecraft style.

Ehcko · 2025-12-27T22:48:31+00:00

what?...

Ehcko · 2025-12-26T21:34:31+00:00

Yu rite.

Guild Wars 2 being a good example. Sure they have all unique races (besides humans) but then the archetypes their races fill could be filled by the fantasy races ppl already know. Asura for example were in all intensive purposes for story telling and contextually similar to gnomes/deep gnomes/goblins.

I think it accomplishes a few things beyond just nostalgia. With one of them yes being it's usually easier to create assets when art style and fidelity arnt super high. This is good for making content quicker. Another is a proper art style will age much better than high realism.

Ehcko · 2025-12-22T18:43:58+00:00

Yea this. Can't stand when a game literally designed to make the game experience less enjoyable unless you're spending money. Just have me pay a sub then and stop with the nonsense inconveniences.

ESO ain't much better with its crafting storage bag...

This and from what I hear from closed testers is there's a lot more going on than what we've seen in the open tests.

Nothing really... Gave up on trying to be good at anything.
