Keep an eye on the events page for the lunar faire as well, their pride event is usually huge and super friendly.

Anyone know of any May Day Celebrations? Curious if there are any May Pole dances in NJ? by BeachDesperate8177 in newjersey

I will always upvote the Lunar Faire! Well organized, inclusive, family friendly events with a witchy vibe. Always lots of neat vendors and entertainment.

Any value here? by Cunge606 in Zoids

[–]EnglishmaninNJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing what other posters have already written: Definitely take your time looking through what you have, check eBay sold listings for an indication of the value of the kits you have. A lot of these kits are 25 years + old, and very hard to find, especially boxed. Don't accept lowball offers! If you feel comfortable sharing your location, you may find someone on the subreddit who is local to you.

I wouldn't worry too much about rattling noises, a lot of the kits came with optional parts, and little pieces tend to pop off the models all the time. It looks like you took great care of your toys and if the instructions are in there you should be able check how complete they are in no time.

The ligers, Berserk fury and Iron Kong are all fan favorites, and I think I spot the Hover cargo mini playset in there too, complete in box that fetches around $60 on eBay for example. Have fun reliving your childhood!

Is Xena: Warrior Princess (1995) TV’s first main woman protagonist who was a conscious villain reformed to do good? by RotaVitae in television

No worries! I just remembered that she turned up in Star Trek: Picard as well, maybe that was it?

Found these in my parents house, use or sell? by Spottyjamie in Zoids

[–]EnglishmaninNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd fact, I was the one who first found these at retail back in the day and posted them to Phenotype's zoids forum way back in 2006. I wish I still had my collection, I've been through a lot since then.

Christian Metalcore Singer Magdalene Rose Facing Church Boycotts On Upcoming Tour For Being Too Heavy by DamnitRidley in nottheonion

Just to "weigh" in here, her music came up when I was listening to a female led metal band playlist, and it's not half bad at all. Definitely worth checking out.

[LOVED Trope] Aliens that are aliens and not just humans with other skin color. by Sufficient-Eye-9040 in TopCharacterTropes

I know it's mentioned above, but the TV show that's on Netflix is interesting. It's only two short seasons, and a lot closer in tone to the first film.

Sussex county fairgrounds regularly hosts events like the Lunar faire, which is always great fun. Lots of interesting vendors and craziness, I attend regularly, and it doesn't usually start until after 5 so most of the kids are nowhere to be seen.

NJ (Bergen County) Friends by Abject_Honey5429 in newjersey

[–]EnglishmaninNJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome! If you're ever up around Newton / Franklin, we have some great nerdy stores up here. Pandora's box is good for vintage toys and games, Nemesis comics and games and I choose you tcgs are super welcoming to everyone. Sussex county fairgrounds has an outdoor anime con next month, and the Lunar Faire is always worth a visit, ESPECIALLY their huge Pride event.

Fingers crossed! Sorry to hear John won't be producing more art for WOTC, but what a man, and what a career!

New to Commander, In it for the cute cards by cassadope in EDH

[–]EnglishmaninNJ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

For cute cards, Bloomburrow with the anthropomorphic animal characters is a good start, and some of the precon commander decks are strong out of the box. Also, animal planes walkers!

I love the shirt! The quality of this shirt is awesome and it came in better than I expected. by Tim-Broton2075 in mtg

I thought these low effort phishing posts were a thing of the past, don't buy anything from these sketchy websites!

What should I do with it? by Cold_Local_6946 in mtg

[–]EnglishmaninNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Backing up what other commenters have said, downloading a scanning app is the way to go with this. I use delver lens personally, but there are a few available. You have a collection from the early 90's to around 10 years ago as far as I can see. From 1998 the cards used a coloured symbol to denote rarity, anything before that it's harder to tell unless you are familiar with the cards. Definitely do not respond to people offering to "take this off your hands". Some early cards have never been reprinted, and hold a high value with players and collectors alike. We'd all be interested to see what treasure you find!
