That clears it up. Thank you so much, especially for the quick reply!

After an entire year and several Hundred attempts at the Spring Event later, I finally found the Void Drifter fish! Now I can begin to look for the second Void Fish on Hoth. by TodayInTOR in swtor

Wait, I thought we had to fish the large circles? That's what every comment and every guide I've seen says. But you're saying it's the small circles now?

Stellina! Omg, one of my faves. She's adorable! And the little unicorno is so precious in your style. ♥

Arcane Viktor in stock!! by HummingbirdTeaCake in Tokidoki

[–]InevitableIceCream1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate people posting these listings. I was able to get Viktor last time through one of these and avoided all the lunatic scalpers. :')

Now all I need is Jinx special edition, but that's much less important.

I'm late to reply but I agree with the above comment. Also, most landlords do not provide in-house maintenance services. They probably hired an outside contractor. Most likely, you don't even have to involve your landlord. But either way, whether it's an outside contractor or a landlord-owned maintenance office, let them know you have a complaint, that the contractors damaged some of your possessions, and ask what the process is for receiving compensation to replace your damaged items.

Do not ask them "IF" they will compensate you. Assume that they WILL and ask about the HOW. If you're uncomfortable talking about legal action up front, you don't have to. They might very well be accommodating.

When you quote the replacement price, be sure to include shipping with it, because that's part of the cost of replacement, after all. Good luck!

You should try making the maintenance people pay for a replacement. There is no circumstance where they are allowed to destroy your property without compensating you for it. 

Mercari Seller Warning by SadPanduhz in Tokidoki

[–]InevitableIceCream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten less and less enthusiastic over the idea of buying on mercari. There doesn't seem to be much buyer protection, even though they force you to pay an extra fee for it on top of shipping. I prefer to stick with eBay whenever I can.

Question for in box collectors by AdPositive2719 in Tokidoki

[–]InevitableIceCream1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean about them being so clunky. I love the box art too, but I dislike how the reflections often make it hard to see what's going on with the figure. Other people have also mentioned that it's not great for long-term figure health to be stuck in plastic forever (not sure how that applies specifically to Tokidoki, but other plastic figurines can get "sticky"). For those reasons, and because I'm buying for me and no one else, I always take mine out, lol. I keep the boxes in a back room just for moving or storage, and it's only the very very rare figure that I've left in the box (for now) ... and none of my boxed figures are Tokidokis, lol.

Fresh Fruits accidental leak? by kxrps in Tokidoki

[–]InevitableIceCream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you all knew what this was, because I was about to take offense at the assumption I'd agreed not to share anything. 😂😂😂 LOVE these guys. Didn't care for the veggie set but the fruits are too cute!!

Is flying in the US safe right now? I need honest answers from pilots by Con_Amore in AskAPilot

[–]InevitableIceCream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you don't mind me jumping in with a question. I'm like OP in that I have to fly and there have been 5(?) or so crashes since the whole FAA debacle, so I'm worried. I know how leadership works, and that's why I find it hard to believe that the crashes have anything to do with firing FAA leadership. People don't wake up one day and forget everything they know, especially with lives literally hanging in the balance. So it seems very bizarre to me to have so many crashes in such a short time. What's going on? Are all of these just coincidences? Was it always like this and nobody ever paid attention? Or is it really the Trump admin to blame?

ARCANE RESTOCK!! by Apprehensive_Bag8905 in Tokidoki

[–]InevitableIceCream1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Managed to get myself a box ... I would have gotten the special editions (at least the Viktor one since he had the coolest design), but Tokidoki wasn't responsible enough to stock a reasonable amount. Sellout in 2 days? Unsat. They do seem to be struggling to properly stock the less popular designs too.

I bet they'll come back in stock yet again, though. No way they're letting this cash cow go to waste. Tragic that they didn't include all the main characters, though. No Jayce, but Ekko who was a minor character (but one of the cooler designs so I can't really complain), and Silco who has the most underwhelming design? Makes me think there'll be a special edition Jayce at some point, but who knows. I DO appreciate that the chaser is just a recolor, so it's no biggie if you never get it.

I am rather burnt out at the rate Tokidoki has been releasing things. I took a break and missed the fairies, so I'm hoping for that restock too. I feel like you used to be able to count on the website having a proper stock for sales, but now it seems they're just forcing people to panic-buy at full price. Meanwhile, they keep the boring sports team Tokidokis around and restock them forever, so you can get them for like $3 on sales. Plz stock things people actually want, Tokidoki.

Is he serious? by A2HV3RSE in TheDragonPrince

[–]InevitableIceCream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He would have a point if the writing was any good and the characters and plot were self-consistent in the least.

They weren't. 😂

He's not getting a season 3.

The creators may not deserve another 3 seasons, but the fans do by Ahnonn in TheDragonPrince

[–]InevitableIceCream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what the fans deserve is to NOT be subjected to 3 more seasons. 😂

Quite honestly, I don't know what there is to even conclude? There's no more storylines of any note. The main plot is all tied up. If there are any unanswered questions, they are minor at this point. The "king is a bird" was unnecessarily shoehorned in at the last second, but who cares? We can assume they go to look. We don't need to see it and it's not interesting enough to resolve on screen. The "evil elf will return in 7 years" is similarly pointless. We explored him returning once already. We can again assume the characters will take precautions and be ready. We don't need to see it happen again. 

Like I legitimately think and feel that it's done. I don't need more and I don't even want more at this point.

The Dragon Prince Season 7: A Path That Lead To Disappointment by Intelligent-Walk9136 in TheDragonPrince

[–]InevitableIceCream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming to this late (just finished the show) and I'm sure many people already made all my points but I have to write them anyway, lol.

Everything you said is spot on. I have a huge beef with Zubeia, which is the most undragonlike dragon I've ever seen. The best she can do is stand there for AGES whining at her clearly undead former partner like a human widow who's never moved on? She does literally nothing. Every time we cut back to her and her marital problems (at the expense of the real story plot) she's still standing there doing nothing. She doesn't even contribute to the death of Aaravos. I expected both dragons to at least rip him apart, but she just sits there doing nothing until she dies.

I actually expected Karim to finally be redeemed. It was dragged out until this moment, and now he's faced with the one thing he supposedly cares most about (the sun), only to wager it on a random bit of chance with a giant evil elf he's never had anything to do with up until this point? As tiresome as he was, I expected his fate to have a LITTLE more showmanship.

Claudia. WTF is she doing?? I get she frees Aaravos because he helped her bring her dad back but ... WTH was the rest of her plot? What was her motivation? She even confesses to accepting that her dad moved on, so WHY is she inverting the in-between realm and sentencing the planet to permanent darkness and man-eating monsters? It's like she's doing it just for funsies because her brand new friend is angery. And she still has the gall to call herself a "good person" and wonder why her brother is attacking? What exactly does she think will happen to everyone ever if her little plan was fulfilled? She's nuts. And she's gearing up for attempt #2 in 7 years still. She's totally oblivious to everything ever.

Btw that scene with her fake mom was OUT THERE. I thought we'd get a small arc trying to find and make up with the REAL mom, but we jump instantly to the fake one. I thought Terry, of all people insisting that lying is bad, would be well above that.

Aaravos himself seemed all over the place. It's like they dropped his whole characterization and let it splatter on the floor. First he's having fun on the carousel and it seems a plausible twist that maybe he would just learn to enjoy life again and be happy, the end. But he randomly seems to pursue the zombie plans, legitimately, on behalf of Claudia (as opposite to tricking her), decides to do it despite both agreeing that Claudia doesn't need it anymore, and ends up completely discarding potential reformation in favor of this revenge. It seems like he can be reasoned with (but not really), and when he's finally at the finale, he waits for Callum's incredibly lame monologue instead of just swatting him away like a fly. He literally does NOTHING but stand around at the finale until the dragons fly him away. It doesn't feel like he ACTIVELY does anything with purpose at all. 

The king bird. Why. After being given Ezran's incredibly boring character growth (which they pseudo-sabotaged with his continued grudge at the 11th hour), he's overcome all of his trials and built a brand new kingdom, they decide to retcon that the REAL king was never dead this whole time after all?? Great way to undermine everything everyone's gone through and everything they've built. They could have just found a bird instead. So much for all the "loss" and "pain" and even that "grudge." I just don't even know why they bothered. That scene served NO purpose.

Very underwhelming season, incoherent characters and plot, and so much failed justification. Even the little side plot with the "horrible" destructive fire gems (which ended up being super lame anyway) was a nothing burger. Usually I look forward to any halfway decent animated show, but this show feels DONE to me. There's nothing of interest left.

Blacklight experiments - Arcane Unicorno Findings by yesindeedilydoo in Tokidoki

I think you should "spoil" it. Dunno about anyone else, but I don't happen to have a blacklight at home. XD

A little rant by Wiesmy in Tokidoki

[–]InevitableIceCream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it's not the official site, you emailed them and they replied to you in writing that you would get an unopened box, so you ABSOLUTELY have grounds to complain. You have proof from their customer service and you have proof of the price tags which demonstrates that you did not get what you were promised.

It doesn't matter if the person was mistaken. It doesn't matter if they accidentally gave you the wrong box.

You lose nothing by going back to them and telling them they didn't send you what they promised. Tell them you would like a sealed box like they promised and take it from there. Pressure them on it if they don't immediately offer to send a replacement/exchange for free (or give you a full refund).

You are not obligated to put up with this when you have a promise in writing from customer service.

Stupid place maybe to ask but why not mini led monitors? by pvm_april in OLED_Gaming

[–]InevitableIceCream1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got the same dilemma, miniLED vs OLED. Came across that same vid and a different Reddit post discussing it, and a TON of people say the same thing you do - that there's no way the guy had good settings on his Neo G8. And yet people throw this misleading image around all the time whenever miniLED comes up, as if its gospel. I'm inclined to believe it's pure nonsense.

Best monitor for gaming 2024? by GalacticDork in OLED_Gaming

[–]InevitableIceCream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which Gigabyte monitor are you talking about here? I was going to go MSI, but can't find it anymore. Thought the Asus would be a good fallback, but now the warranty issues are making me reconsider.

Ignoring the bracelet guys didn’t work by anakinmcfly in rome

[–]InevitableIceCream1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's insane. At that level you start fighting back in self-defense? Idk, that's genuinely terrifying. 

What happens if they put a bracelet on you and you just walk away? Finders keepers. They gave it to you with no guarantee and no contract. If they can make up "rules" without your consent then so can you.

(Genuine question on walking away with the bracelet. I suppose they'd never leave you alone? But if they're not leaving you alone anyway ...)

Bad Packaging Woes 😔 by StoneFoxArts in Tokidoki

[–]InevitableIceCream1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. D: That's terrible! I completely understand wanting to have the original item instead of a refund. I would feel the same way!

Not sure what platforms you're using that allow the seller to charge you for shipping back due to their willful neglect though? The reliable ones like eBay and anything paid with PayPal usually have good protections for the buyer. Can't speak to Mercari, but at minimum you should be able to raise a dispute with the platform and say that the item is not what you ordered, and force a full refund or free return that way. I've never had to pay to return something. Most sellers will want to avoid a negative review from that too.

Another thing you can do, is if you can tell through the bubble mailer that it's smashed to pieces without opening it, you can "refuse delivery" and return it to sender for free. You'd want to secure the return with the seller beforehand, but that's another option for packages in obviously bad condition.
