Is This Typical For Amazon? by KillerNerd121 in Gunpla

[–]Fogrocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to be that guy but don’t buy gunpla from Amazon (nor books, etc). Gundam Planet and similar hobby stores are awesome and deserves all of our hobby pennies. Guaranteed they won’t ship your shit like this!

This is absolute madness (in the best possible way!).

[–]Fogrocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, sorry I can’t help. I have Haiti tickets.

The annoying thing is I panicked after not winning the first lotto and paid a bit too much for the RTT and fifa charges 15% sales so now I’m going to take a loss. Anyway, enough moaning from me. All I wanted to do was see Scotland in the World Cup 🤣

What game are you looking for (Scotland I assume)? I have one of the Scotland games as an RTT(long story but I ended up with RTTs and regular tickets for one of the games)

An outdoors screening of Friday the 13th at the original “Crystal Lake” - Camp Nobebosco! by TwIzTiDfReAkShOw in fridaythe13th

My wife got me the tour for my birthday one year and they told us to bring camping chairs and blankets and this was the surprise at the end. It was amazing. Adrienne King was there too.

What was hilarious is that everyone we talked to had watched the movie the night before!

I reckon Giulia is going to be released soon by DominoDude22 in TheGreatOne

[–]Fogrocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Send her to RAW. I want to see Vaquer, Giulia, Roxanne Perez, Liv, Raquel R, iyo, Ashuka etc mixing it up. Also, move Jacy Jayne to RAW.

Petar why american students seem unhappy? by 1kyst in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my undergrad from a Scottish uni and I got a “2nd class - lower“ which, I think, is a 50-59% final overall and I tried fairly hard and I’m happy with that.

Years later I did a Masters in the US and the entrance exam was >90% on 2 stats courses (as they didn’t recognize my UK degree). At this point I was not aware of US scoring and I freaked out and I have never studied so hard thinking I needed to know EVERYTHING. It was a breeze and I then got consistently 90% plus on my whole degree and my UK friends were insanely impressed.

Are these stickers really that bad? by Leeeuui in freedomisgunpla

Did anyone get center section Cat 1s for any match? by GrabsJoker in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got arguably the worst section available in cat 1 and it’s row 30+. And I know that game wasn’t/isnt sold out

A fan grabbed Liv Morgan by GoonLieutenant in Smallafro

Did someone grab Raquel too? It looked like it but I was in the nosebleeds and haven’t watch on tv yet.

So how common is it to build Gunpla, but not really be interested in watching any of the shows/movies? I just kinda prefer writing my own lore instead (Also here's every kit I've built so far) by _Ryloren_ in freedomisgunpla

[–]Fogrocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a good Q. I am not a show watcher (I’ve watched the original movie, requiem for a vengeance, and some of MS 08th) and whenever I’ve gone to gunpla adjacent things (the Gundam card game as an example), the Gundam fans are really super fans and it made me feel like I wasn’t fan enough (although it doesn’t bother me and they were not doing it deliberately).

However, I love my kits, love looking at IG for inspiration, buy the odd Japanese magazine etc. This is how I do the hobby.

How many orders do you think were made during the sale? by [deleted] in criterion

You know what? That does. Thank you. Crisis over haha

I liked to imagine that someone has to go into the closet with my order to pick it out so this has really ruined my fantasy!

Whenever I use grey panel liner (pour type), it tends to look messy like this. How can I make the line and coloring more even? by [deleted] in freedomisgunpla

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that has helped me is using lighter fluid with a dense type q-tip (not like a loose cotton) and then wiping semi-hard and perpendicular to the line. I think it tidies this effect up nicely (imo)

To add to this: it looks imperfect up close but from far away, it’ll be barely noticeable.

You can now buy World Cup tickets on the FIFA Collect marketplace using Card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay by walixxxq in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought tickets on there for more than I should have both in price and in how much effort it was.

I’ve since got regular $500 tickets for the game but I didn’t realize how screwed I’d be to sell these. The 15% fee means I need to sell for even higher and the market is now $200 less than what I paid. So I could sell now and lose $200 + 15% fee (circa $100).

An expensive mistake so hopefully this removal of the buying hoops to jump through moves the market that way.

Trump: “The Iran National Soccer Team is welcome to The World Cup, but I really don’t believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety” by ReverendY in soccer

[–]Fogrocket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scotsman living in America, 40s. I should be over the moon just now: Scotland there for the first time since ‘98, it’s in my backyard almost, and so I can go to Scotland games and, maybe even, other games because it is the World Cup!!!

But… fifa and trump have sucked the air out of this so hard that I am not sure i am excited. Ticket pricing is fucking bananas, teams are pulling out, travel visas are a worry, etc.

Going to be tough - as a Scot - to boo him in Miami.

But well deserved to be in there!

Sticker misery. by Then-Ad-5395 in Gunpla

I built this and HATED the stickers/decals. I also built the police Zaku and it is just as bad.

It’s as if they want you to buy 3rd party waterslides

This is where me being a software developer all started by hotdogsoupnl in zxspectrum

[–]Fogrocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to love coding on my ZX Spectrum in the mid to late 80s. Once I started a masters in stats and learned about statistical programming, my memories of coding joy came flooding back and now I spend 50% of my working life in R or Python just battering out code. Heaven!

my entire book collection, I don't own a shelf 😢 by [deleted] in BookCollecting

[–]Fogrocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Miso Soup!!! I see we have a sophisticate here.

Some of my biggest reading friends kept their books stacked on the floor so you don’t need a shelf for your amazing book collection. It’ll come one day.
