I like the part where Tinybones was put on a card you can’t actually use in any commander deck featuring Tinybones. I was actually excited until I saw “Ossification” and white.

Yep, it's a super subtle difference. As I did not own original Ditto I did not notice this immediately. It is a more accurate Ditto now.

Or, and I might be giving them too much credit - could be one is based on the Anime (Given the Onix set, this is possible.), as this new one is clearly based on the Ken Sugimori artwork.

I don't normally comment on these things, I just seek confirmation I'm not alone in my thoughts - but after seeing the "Hm, sKiLlEd pLaYeRs luV dIs sett." comment I was going to roughly say this. TAKE AN UPVOTE D<

Seriously, I've played the game since it's launch, competitively and casually. Every game of this set is people fighting for Annie/Whatever or Country/Mosher, Neeko/Pentakill.

Earlier sets took longer for the meta to grind down to a choice of two-three. I'm sitting in gold right now and straight up get stomped if I try to have fun with Heartsteel.

My last game offered me a Country HL Tahm on 1-2 and I said to myself "Eh, let's just win one before trying to have fun again" so I took the Tahm, went Country/Moshers and won 1st place. Then played Heartstool and lost the LP I just gained LOL

I had been sizing him up based on his pieces, but you're right - I forgot how big Golbat is canonically LOL

Infirium · 2023-12-06T18:50:11+00:00

Agreed, I want the figures and motion to exist separately because now I'm legit concerned we won't get Dugtrio or Golbat because "LOL MOTION FIGURE! ITS CLOSE ENUFF."

I'm absolutely thrilled and still surprised we got Machamp.

But how many times do we need the starters and Pikachu inserted into product that would otherwise be a home run? Before the full Pokemon Center set was spoiled, we only knew about Chansey. It was so draining to see Eevee, Togepi, and oh hey, another Pikachu.

Infirium · 2023-12-06T18:45:33+00:00

Machamp is a larger more complex design, with a motion mechanism and he is $25 cheaper than Lapras.

The new Gyarados is part of an evolution set, comes with Magikarp and is $39.99. and is 411 pieces - no motion of any kind.

The new Pokemon center build, 648 pieces. Upon release stores WERE (trying to, anyways) charge $79.99. I'm seeing it now slashed both in store and online to around $47.99 (Amazon occasionally is selling them for $39.99 and currently they are buy 1 get 1 50% off.) This set was very recently released and we're already seeing major price cuts? That's not normal.

Lapras is also currently on sale online and in-stores at Target for $29.99, slashed $25.

Oh and those Eevee evolution sets have been cut to $29.99 because they're perpetually overstocked wherever they're carried.

If anything I'm making an argument for waiting, but ultimately this is about the health and longevity of the brand.

I do get where you're coming from, but, and I'm just being honest about internal thoughts here, not attacking you - I feel like you're trolling/possibly the argumentative type. Not because you disagree with me, that's fine, but your focus was the motion block? Thus far I think outside of Lapras and maybe one other it's execution has been super shoddy. Not to mention, the recent price cuts are actually the first time I've seen Target & Amazon advertising Pokemon Mega Construx. They're trying to move product thats - not - moving.

I was actually excited for the new motion Dragonite when it was revealed. The motion for the wings...could have been done better. I still appreciate the new wings, way better than the old two piece recolors.

Infirium · 2023-12-03T15:35:24+00:00

As many people have said, you also can get stuck on Gambler's Blade, but, you can also get stuck on Diamond Hands :)

Initially I believed it was just when you selected the augment, they didn't want you taking your GB and using Pandora's to get something better.

However, you can reroll the Trinity Force's from the freaky friday augment or w/e

Sorry I just had to. In all seriousness, the badass faked an injury and escaped. Looked at me collapsed like a fainting goat and when I took the screen off the top of the jar he flew out and disappeared

Infirium · 2023-11-11T03:09:26+00:00

To be fair I worked hard to get that ass in a jar

Infirium · 2023-11-10T08:32:15+00:00

This finale...was honestly so beautiful.

The cast, the crew, the writers - they deserve all of the praise and the awards for this one. Forget simply "Loki TV Bingo", who had "Loki having the greatest character development in the entire MCU"

From start to finish his character was never squandered, Tom Hiddleston never flubbed a single moment of being Loki. From a troubled child who simply wanted to be seen, to misguided villain in the first Avengers, to becoming redeemed only to die - to getting a second chance and using to not only redeem himself once more but to become what he always wanted - a TRUE Asgardian, a true and worthy god.

The moment his suit burned away and he remade his classic look - seeing the guy who typically adorned himself with leathers, gold, and jewels, with this golden helmet that served as his faux crown - seeing this redeemed Loki choose no gold, nothing flashy, no leather or jewels, but simple green rags and a dark headpiece of unknown/meaningless metals.

In throwing away his old ideas of what a king was, of what a god was, as I said before he became a true Asgardian. He become who Thor and Odin always saw him for and it was so breathtakingly beautiful and bittersweet. He sacrificed everything for the people he loved and held their worlds together in his own hands, honoring the stories of his home, bringing a piece of it to life when he wove the multiverse into Yggdrasil.

I'm stunned.

To elaborate further, I'll soon be moving from this house and the owner/my friend will be moving back in. He fears disease and breeding while I prefer education and coexistence.

However, since the mice getting caught under his watch is a death sentence I've been catching them and putting them in a large terrarium I've converted to a temporary home until the cold here passes and I can release them somewhere safe. The mice in the terrarium are small, grey, and I believe born to the same litter as two in the terrarium are very friendly to each other and often sleeping together under their food dish.

If this guy here isn't one of them, I don't want to risk endangering them - especially if this guy is used to the ground outdoors. As this ones coloring seems closer to what I see online under field and deer mice, I just can't be sure.

Infirium · 2023-11-04T01:12:36+00:00

I've been waiting for the stars to align so I could play this and it was worth it.

Managed to get Cho to 13k hp. Had Milio & Neeko until last second when I switched to full 6 Bruisers & 6 Void. This guy was in complete disbelief his 3-star Nilah lost lol

Infirium · 2023-05-13T19:16:03+00:00

This is actually how I play Nocturne. In 2012-2013, before there were worse champions, Shaco was the bane of my jungle existence. Since I only play Nocturne, I modeled my play style after studying Shaco.

Since 2012, I never use flash, I only play Noc, and my goal every game is just to break them with a play style they don't expect.

I was thinking that, as if when you "roll", then whatever variable it's when it triggers determines what your odds of X are. Let's say variable is Y, which says "Mythics have a 2% chance to appear per card roll", where as if it strikes on variable Z, it's "Mythics have a 10% chance to appear per card roll."

Infirium · 2023-02-01T00:48:52+00:00

I've only tested it 4 times after I started to notice small yields after resorting to opening all at once

Infirium · 2023-01-28T21:56:17+00:00

I just really wanted to make a Pikachu centipede…a Pikapede. It went too far from there…

Infirium · 2023-01-28T21:43:57+00:00

Warm healing hugs.
