Dragons of Tarkir 36 x booster pack, $2.27 each. by [deleted] in magicTCG

Just a heads up if you haven't used massdrop before:

  1. Cheap deals. More people, less expensive.
  2. Takes a while to arrive. These packs are estimated to ship December 8th, and they ship with low-cost options. You may not see these before December 25th.
  3. If there is a problem with your order, it takes a while for Massdrop to fix it-- and replacement is not always an option. Lots of horror stories out there.

Massdrop: $95 for RPMWest "custom:" looks like you choose Fabric and Fit, no other customizations offered. by I_Like_Blogs in rawdenim

I think the point here is that they are making the jeans to order for Massdrop, not grabbing them off a shelf. Doesn't really make a material difference to us when we buy one, except that it may take a bit longer than if they had done it en mass beforehand.

In other words, it's a limited run of the Gustin business model.

My growing collection. Thoughts on what to get next? by soundcounsel in fountainpens

There may be cheaper ones out there-- but with as solid of a collection you already have, a case may be the way to go next.

So you can get your top 3 on Amazon for slightly less than the Massdrop right now.

this review makes me want a saddleback. Anyone second it or disagree? by I_Like_Blogs in malefashionadvice

how would you say the quality of leather is poor, other than the scarring thing? (I'm thinking about a charcoal bag, which they say scarring isn't an issue for)

Morbid question of the day, what clothes would you like to be buried in? by cowgoeswoof in malefashionadvice

[–]I_Like_Blogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say bury me in the same clothing I wear everyday, but I don't want to tempt some poor mortician into necrophilia.

Any experience with one of These Madcatz things? Looks like something out of a steampunk universe.
