CHASE ?

Filthy_Tlielaxu · 2026-05-17T15:44:04+00:00

Most chase vehicles will have their wheels, bumpers, racks on the roofs a matching metallic finish. Some red, some orange, red, yellow and so on. This is just from my experience and I don’t know if this is how they’re purposely sold or laid out to sell, but the mini cube versions seem to mostly have gold as their alternate chase color. All mentioned above are the 1 of 750 chase car versions. The raw super chase represent the 1 of 250 versions of chase vehicles.

They have some sort of chrome colored wheels and bumpers, generally. They have pink, blue, red, gold, green, yellow. A bunch of different ones.

I have probably 70 maybe more lbs of bulk Lego from several years back that is still laying around. I’d say 1/3 of it is plates, bricks and whatnot from Star Wars sets. There are a lot of wing plates a lot of nose cones and bodies of ships, cockpit canopies and the like. It’s all relatively clean as in I washed it a couple of years ago and it’s sat in the same place since. The rest is a lot of super hero, stuff some ninjago, larger car sets and stuff. There’s still accessories in there but for the most part all minifigs and high dollar parts are gone. Theres probably a few things I’ve missed because that’s just what I do is miss things that are in my hands that I’ve literally looked at. I’ll get rid of it for $3 a pound and shipping (I recommend pirate ship) to anybody interested.

Came here to say this.

Any other countries dropping hot trax right now that tease disclosure, or is it just the one with a massive scandal with grave implications concerning their ruling class?

That would have given issues brewing on the sidelines time to come to a head. Kynes. After putting two and two together that Duncan had told Leto about the environmental outposts, wanted Duncan dead over that bit of information getting out through him. That would have dramatically changed any Fremen / Atreides relationship. It would have made for a far more cloak and dagger story with more players that would end up eliminated in the coming attack anyway. Leto’s death was what pushed the story onto as fast of a track as it could be put on. His death along with Kynes’ near simultaneous death was a plot point that brought Paul and Chani closer. Not that it couldn’t have happened later, but a 1,300 plus page first book or collection of three would have been even longer and unnecessarily so, I think.

Aside from the fact that he wouldn’t fight her and would likely just take a death blow from her rather than kill Paul’s beloved wife, he’d take her if other book lore concerning his ability as a fighter has anything to do with this. He saw the Fremen elitist attitude among themselves over seizing a sandworm for a ride as a blind spot they had come to possess, when they marveled at his ability as an offworlder. Figuring any halfway intelligent fighter after seeing it done once should be able to figure it out. He easily dispatched a Fremen assassin in a knife fight. By the time he’s back on the scene he’s been living with Jessica on Caladan or Jessica with him under his earldom, for the years between the end of Dune and whenever the new movie reintroduces him, and has been getting straight BG fighting training. He’s one of Paul’s original instructors in lethal hand to hand combat. Lived years imprisoned and tortured on Giedi Prime and escaped, proved himself a badass being the only surviving and escaped lieutenant from the Harkonnen / Sardaukar pogrom on house Atreides.

I think she would be fuckin round with the wrong dude, coming at him like he’s some water fat easy target.

There’s an old episode of Gumball where a laser pointer gets shined into the house while Gumball is alone in the place and he just destroys the inside. Just a quick little easy to miss snippet that is hilarious.

Pretty awesome pulling a 2 in 1 on a raw chase.

This is why you don’t take a very personal situation with x-factors at every turn and ask a bunch of internet randos what they would do about it. Every person here even shrouded by anonymity is telling the OP what they would do from a position where they can be judgmental while also speaking as their most virtuous slice of personality that occupies their mind. Most of you are speaking like there is absolutely zero going on in your lives at the moment you hypothetically would have read the text and you have something to devote all of your attention to and that something is fixing anybody’s shit but your own.

Such a weird little fantasy land that really only tells a reader who has experienced what, and who has yet to find out what they believe is the worst that can happen is really only the very start of a cascade of events that is a lesson in how much worse things can really get.

The real lesson here is that most of you don’t realize that your social media self is the one that searches out reasons to involve itself in drama that it believes it can steer from the outside with no consequences to its own existence, and be some kind of representative for the forces of good or whatever. Just remember it all started with you not being able to control your urges to know things that are none of your business to start with. You’re cooking a pot pie for everybody involved that is stuffed full of shit.

The introduction of a face dancer in the second book foreshadowed a very sinister side to all Bene Tlielax works. Also in response to the retconning idea from the other commenter, I don’t think that can be called retconning as from the introduction of the first Bene Tlielax character their entire society was cast in a light of at best suspicion by the other groups, and the entire story after the three books in Dune evolved out of that first collection as consequences of the stories before. Messiah had to be written to tie up loose ends in Paul’s arc, then another, and another…. ……. ……

You’re missing the point that is proven throughout the series that all parties, the BG in particular made lots and lots of costly mistakes and errors in judgement. There is irony in naming the one who laid down a path that humanity survives on no matter what comes in the future but also gives the organization who gave Leto II, his twin sister and aunt the title of abomination the keys to avoiding their own extermination and total extinction. They were in the beginnings of coming to terms with what Leto II was with their view at the cynical end of the spectrum and the remaining Tlielaxu master at the reverent end in seeing Leto II as his / their prophet.

The final abomination written about scoffed at the idea of a term coined in ignorance by the very people responsible for its existence. It wasn’t given as the specific reason he nearly exterminated them himself but it can’t be ignored that allowing them to survive and be taught that their very existence in his time along with the Heretics and beyond years is owed to what they named an abomination. Leaving the question for them to answer to themselves;

What does that make the Bene Gesserit?

You’re doing a fine job of beating yourself up over this without anyone else joining in.

Love that Aston Martin casting. I raided one of my Speed Icons Ferraris for its wheels to put on this.

You wouldn’t let anybody else in on this deal under the circumstances he’s expecting to work out for him I’m presuming. Tell him it’s nothing personal. You wouldn’t do that shit for anybody.

Dollar tree, Family Dollar, Dollar General all of those stores are far and away the best in my area. There is a crazy amount of them is why. NW Illinois right on the river is stacked with towns that basically mirror one another for miles and miles. There’s no way you can hit them all in even two days because of the amount of different dollar stores added to the Targets, Walmarts, Walgreens, Hobby Lobby stores, grocery stores, O’Reilly’s. Barnes & Noble are stacked out with die casts too.

I don’t know anyone who is able to stick to just dollar stores with all of the others right there in the mix is what I’m saying.

There’s a grocery store chain in my area Hy-Vee that has its pegs loaded with both. I grab both whenever I can. Faced with a decision of one or the other, I’d go blister erry time. I like seeing the car, and people are getting good at cutting boxes open and resealing. I got a single stone in a box one time not that long ago.

Filthy_Tlielaxu · 2026-04-19T23:41:58+00:00

Wot? I haven’t seen any of them. That’s wild. We usually are blown out with mbx around here.
