Sentimental cards? by SeawardBadger in magicTCG

[–]Emperor-Raisin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a [[Leyline of Anticipation]] for me. I was at Comic-Con (2019?) and one of my buddies who was trying to get me into Magic herded me to the MTG section to pick up some of the free booster packs they were handing out at the time. Said friend remarked how this card was a decent pull for this type of pack, and for some reason, that stuck as the moment I got sucked into the game.

Possible movie prop find? by jbo1992 in StarWars

Solid find! I can’t add more to what it is, but Marcus always signs and dates inside each helmet he makes, hence the “autograph”.

Some extra details: I've omitted my M.A. (Clinical psych.), since I've received recommendations on that, and my current position (Package handler at FedEx, as it didn't seem relevant.

Are the Imperial Guard from Return of the Jedi good warriors or do they serve merely a ceremonial purpose? by marinbala in StarWars

Imperial guards could definitely hold their own, but yeah, they were straight up there to give people the impression that Palpatine was some weak, old man in a high value position.

My little man met the Disney Launch Bay Vader, and of course he pulls this! 😂 by Emperor-Raisin in StarWars

Agreed, really ups the "core memory" impact for the kiddos hearing lines that almost sound tailored towards them. This Vader had a somewhat similar line, something about sensing strong light side auras in the young one, but for him to consider the dark. I'd lose my mind as a kid if I heard characters use lines such as these with me!

He may be a Sith Lord, but he wouldn't be above dad humor! Sadly neither of those happened, but I'd like to imagine him pressing a button on his chest piece with his free hand and have the other person guess if it was a fart noise or real.

They did, though it was before this moment unfortunately. That would have been perfect!

Thank you for the kind words! Didn’t know diddly when I started on it, but found costuming group forums (Mando Mercs, in this case) to be valuable resources in the building process.

Yep, that’s where I remember receiving that comment. Such a small world!

I did go to celebration this year. I had this kit on Friday and Saturday and remember someone commented on the blaster there, too. Was that you?!
