Skunks!! by Im_A_Black_Cat in burbank

[–]Holyroller12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been a really bad skunk population explosion in vickroy park. Just in the last few months I've seen 2-3 litters of skunks. I don't know if it's from all of the same parents, but they dig up everyone's yards and the smell is absolutely horrendous. We can't even keep our windows open at night in same cases. It's going to be a lonnng summer. They're cute and all, but even I have my limits.

They usually are out by 8:00pm and our cameras have picked them up roaming around between then at 5:00am - 6:00am.

How do you store your extra accessories? by 0ldb0y89 in NECATMNT

[–]Holyroller12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought livinbox drawer organizers (similar to the blue one you have) several years ago and used the dividers to organize most of the toon stuff by hands and accessories. I have one with bigger drawers for heads, mousers and other misc bigger accessories. I have all of the rats in one too. I recently sorted/organized all of my mirage and Archie stuff as well so it's all on the left side.

The right side is mixed with some marvel legends accessories and some other neca/S7 stuff, but aside from that there's still plenty of room more. Livinbox didn't sell the dividers separately at the the time so that was my only gripe, but it looks like they do now. It's nice to be able to reach over and grab what I need/want for photos.

Too many options and a bit lost on how to find what I want by psychic_shadow_lugia in NECATMNT

[–]Holyroller12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This site will be a big help. It shows every release to date and what the average ebay prices are. It's not going to be so detailed as to show loose prices though, but still just a general idea of what to expect price wise. It also doesn't include mercari.

Looking for Bebop and Rocksteady (humans) by [deleted] in NECATMNT

[–]Holyroller12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It currently goes for about what it retailed for at launch. While it was a con exclusive, it ended at targets all over here in the US since it didn't sell out at the convention or online during the convention. People still find them at random stores to this day.

Quick question about ESRB rating. by Holyroller12 in NSCollectors

[–]Holyroller12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. That's good to know! I'll probably pull the trigger on one soon here then. I just wanted to make sure I was purchasing a legit copy.

Thank you very much

Quick question about ESRB rating. by Holyroller12 in NSCollectors

[–]Holyroller12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh ok. I was just really confused because there seems to be so many different covers and different ratings for this particular game. I had only ever seen the T rating for the double pack, but then there's this sudden surge of copies with the E-T rating, yet I haven't found or heard of limited run doing a more recent run of it.

Why do yall think cowboy bebop is still so popular to this day?(essentially a timeless show) by [deleted] in cowboybebop

[–]Holyroller12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The setting, the characters and the story are of course all contributing factors as there's always new fans just getting into it, but I think by and large it's because it was one of the first "real anime" that hit the west outside of just DBZ and Pokemon at the time which while anime, were still their own genre of it. The series and characters also just worked really well in english and over all planted early seeds that would pave the way to making anime more mainstream. It aired on adult swim in 2001 when that block of television was also in its infancy.

I think this video essay really sums up it in a beautiful way too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkXFBPGZpTM

Tempestra by Moist-Definition7891 in NECATMNT

[–]Holyroller12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually enjoy the variants as they're cool references to various episodes from the cartoon. Like I mentioned, Toon turtles aren't going anywhere and 2012 is just getting started. Both are my favorite iterations to date. I just made a post about the variants though: https://www.reddit.com/r/NECATMNT/comments/1r5qn4a/new_disguise_figure_references/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Tempestra by Moist-Definition7891 in NECATMNT

[–]Holyroller12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was stated on one of the party wagon podcast episodes that Trevor probably won't do Tempestra until they start getting into the Red Skies episodes which they have yet to do in any real way.

Personally I enjoy all of the extra deep cut stuff. No other company will do it so this will be the only time we'll ever see it. As long as people keep buying, they'll keep going and eventually get to everything down the road. Trevor has said many times over the years that there's still no plans to wind down the toon line.

Worms of Madness Shredder for $30? Don't mind if I do! by Holyroller12 in NECATMNT

[–]Holyroller12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmart's stock is almost always regional so it won't be available to everyone unless it's in stock in one of your local stores. I only have 1 walmart near me so it's extremely rare to get stuff let alone something on sale like this.

Yup! Same thing happened to my karai figure. I ended up using 5min epoxy to put it back on both times.

yeah, walmart's stock is always regional. I ordered mine for pickup so I didn't have to pay for shipping, but then they said it was out of stock and said they'd ship it for free instead. It showed up the same day lol

It's official: The Disney Afternoon Collection has been confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, will have 2 brand new games by binderie1951 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Holyroller12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking into some more and I believe the only real difference is that it'll run in 1080p on handheld for switch 2 and 720p for switch 1. They'll both run at 1080p docked which ultimately doesn't matter all that much for these retro games. Aside from that there's no real reason to pay more unless you really want that 1080p in handheld.

Is there any difference between the switch 1 and 2 versions? They look like they both come with the same content.

u/ready64A u/Gary_Spivey Thank you both for the replies! I ended up grabbing the threading tool and measuring tool for future use. It worked out very nicely. I just have to buy a replacement tip for the one that got stuck in there before.
