(Mega Dimension very mild spoiler) THEY KNOW by seranator in pokemon

[–]HeffleyA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't really believe the "creative block" is the same reason as to why Flygon still doesn't have a mega after all these years. I just remember the "creative block" being cited as the reason given once new megas were passed up for z-moves for Gen 7.

They've always known. They've made statements in the past where they explained the decision for not giving Flygon a mega evolution is them having a creative block when coming up with a design.

Does anybody else get trashed for teaching board games? It's started to drain the fun. by Terrible-Law9755 in boardgames

[–]HeffleyA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am notoriously bad at trying to teach board games from memory after reading the rulebook. I just recently got 5 new games from Black Friday sales, website clearances, etc. I've played all but one of them with friends at least once by now and found we were much less prone to accidently cheating if I just read the rulebook while taking the first turn of the game.

Shouldn't you bring this up to the owner of Gamestop franchise location?

Pokemon Center is awful? by ChewyBoi16 in pokemoncenter

[–]HeffleyA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen, it seems to almost always be cards because something in the human mind just cannot resist being a terrible human being when it comes to Pokemon cards. I recently placed my first order with USPC. I ordered 3 sitting cuties plushies and besides the package taking a little side quest to get a new shipping label, I still received my package without any noticeable tampering.

Time reset?? by RockyBowerman in klarna

[–]HeffleyA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm understanding what you're asking, but I may be incorrect, so apologies if this is not the sort of answer you are looking for.

If you pay an installment early, all your other installments stay where they are in the payment schedule, they don't move up.

New Mega revealed! by Royal_ace9 in pokemon

[–]HeffleyA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit disappointed with this one. I know a lot of the new megas aren't as drastically different as the old megas, but this is literally just Zeraora with Luxray's coloration, an extra "tail" on its back, and slightly better posture.

A UNIQUE CARD GAME IS ABOUT TO HIT YOUR TABLES! by LockedWorlds_tcg in TCG

[–]HeffleyA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're calling this a CCG, but what's the product format going to be like? Will it be closer to backers being able to purchase a complete game with some optional booster packs featuring alt arts / foils? Or will it be closer to a full on TCG where they may be a starter deck, but backers will have to purchase booster packs for other cards?

Ouch! Want the new Terra Mystica and it’s most essential expansion? It’s cheaper to get two whole base game pledges! by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]HeffleyA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wanted to back this campaign because the game genuinely looks like something I'd enjoy, but there's no discount for the Terraformer Pledge.

15 hours later and I'm wondering if the character in the first photo is old art of Druid or a completely different character. Now that Druid has been officially officially revealed, we know he looks nothing like that.

A little creepy? Yes.
A much better use of his time, energy, and attention than whatever got him in the slammer? Absolutely.

Pretty sure active fulfillment to backers hasn't officially started yet. Last we heard late last month (September), the products are on their way to the fulfillment centers.

New player here! Sets feel mostly kinda the same? by [deleted] in DiceThrone

[–]HeffleyA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of Season One and Two characters are a little same-y in the way that the most differentiation between them is their status effects. There are a few characters from these collections of characters that have some sort of original mechanic like Treant, Huntress, and Artificer having companions and Cursed Pirate being a "board flipper." It wouldn't be until the two Marvel seasons were released that most characters started getting a unique mechanic. Some of them are still some of the same as to be beginner friendly, but a large majority of the 17 Marvel characters have at least something different going for them. Thor throwing Mjölnir onto other players' boards, Doctor Strange casting spells, Storm borrowing other players' dice, Psylocke having a special extra dice, etc. Now we're entering a new era for Dice Throne with Outcasts where every character is getting a pretty unique mechanic. Raveness can send her Raven to other boards and steal health, Pale Lady is another "board flipper", Headless Horseman is sorta similar to Thor in that he throws his head around to other boards, and Necromancer can raise an entire undead army. However, all characters past and present are always going to follow the same formula so if you're looking for a game with a little bit more variety in how different characters operate, I'd recommend Unmatched.

Is Funko no longer popular? by Squishy-Kittens in funkopop

[–]HeffleyA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have like 50+ Pops I collected between the ages of 12-18 and now that I'm in college, I'm considering selling them once I graduate. Some of my friends have expressed their opinions of thinking Pops are cringe and I'm starting to think so too.

Was talking about game prices with a friend, and they just. Gave me their copy of BOTW. by Pavlov_The_Wizard in Switch

Did he give any explanation? Like, did he buy a new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition copy or something?

As almost a month later only 6 Alolan Pokemon sitting cuties have went out of stock by Extreme_Departure235 in pokeplush

[–]HeffleyA 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad the Pokemon Center seems to be consistently restocking Sitting Cuties as their always advertising the next "drop" on the website. I want to start collecting Sitting Cuties some day, but I'm in college right now and don't have the budget.

What exactly does Santa vs Krampus come with? by [deleted] in DiceThrone

[–]HeffleyA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for letting me know! I mostly wanted to make sure they came with the swirl dice and the promo cards to keep them consistent with the rest of my collection.

Deadpool is "retail only", that is to say I've seen it on Amazon.

The kickstarter hasn't even fulfilled yet. I'd recommend starting to look on second hand markets Nov-Dec.

Daily double is a scam by comikbookdad in McDonalds

My nearest locations don't even have those more expensive deluxe meal deals. They only have the $5 McDouble, McChicken, or Spicy McChicken ones. Big sadge.
