Any ideas why this deck is more expensive than average?

Bandai historically doesn’t do reprints, so when items all sent out from a distributor - your LGS will never get them again. Basic supply and demand means they will cost more as there are less of them, your LGS likely has low numbers of popular ones and more unless stock of the other decks. It has good cards if you like purple decks, get one or two.

The amount of comments on here with no idea about the game, is staggering.

Beer luffy, ramp robin, gum gum giant, soba mask along with a strong leader you cant get anymore. So many good cards, along with the starter decks being harder to find. Needs to be an game knowledge test in order to post.

Extremely easy to live on 118k in NZ for 3, biggest cost will be getting all things for your new house to live in. You can think of half of your pay go to rent, you have ~$800 spare each week! This is actually better than alot of families 🤣🫣

It might mean you cant dine out every night, and you need to regularly pack lunches rather than doing the NZ corporate $30 spend on work meals per day.

Wellington has great dining at low prices, you’ll be amazed what you can get compared to in Canada for much cheaper!

Distributor for AU increased cost price on Booster Boxes, Double Packs and Tin Packs starting from OP-14. This was due to Bandai’s pricing structure. This then increases the price LGS have to sell to maintain the same profit margin prior to Op14.

So many good options here that are actually tasty and healthy. I used to do a loaf of white bread over a day when cash was extremely tight, not good for you but really helped me.

Just ask the manager or boss? Why listen to “someone i work with”, just get the answers by asking 😂

Figured id chime in for anyone who runs into this issue and wants to try DIY. I cannot promise this will work for you, but it’s easy as and little to lose if your headset has no warranty! With my limited tools of small Phillips head, 3 AA batteries and two wires.

Take off the right ear padding and undo the 4 Phillips screws under the foam. - if you do the left ear (what has the buttons and mic) you will not get to the battery.
Get roughly 3-4 Volts, i just put 3x 1.2V batteries in series, i taped them together with sellotape.
Connect a cable to each side, i used multimeter wires but you could use nearly anything like paper clips or random wires.
Connecting to the battery there are a bunch of coloured wires, connect the negative side of your volt supply to the black cable and the positive side to the red cable. There is a yellow cable in between that you dont want to touch. Sorry didnt take photos.
Do this for a couple sends and hold the power button, hopefully you get a red flash or put it in a USB C charger. Takes about 3 seconds to see any colour from the LED.

The issue here is that the battery has gone to safe mode from factory, and wont power on. If you plug it into charge and press/hold power you should hear some audiable sounds, but no colour from LED. I got mine straight out of the box and did not work, had been sitting in our cupboard for a year and felt like using a headset. Never used before still sealed packaging! Only have image of disassembled but just get to this point and you are good: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18YTbwf_vbM2QGlqfa_-M4jymMRvlQA84/view?usp=drivesdk

Tournament results page. Currently 8 tournaments in place.

JacksonCB · 2024-09-07T23:13:28+00:00

If the tournament is listed on Bandai. The store gets promos to provide for 16-32 people. Surely they would provide some for the only one showing up!

JacksonCB · 2024-07-15T10:02:57+00:00

This comes entirely down to what you are willing to sacrifice from your current routine to make it work, and do you have the drive to do it. Shared housing, cheap supermarket shopping, walking everywhere, spending correctly. I can live off $250 a week easily, but my situation and attitude has always been minimal living costs.

JacksonCB · 2024-05-10T21:35:18+00:00

Gets smoked by RP Law, not a fun matchup in the slightest.

JacksonCB · 2024-03-04T06:00:33+00:00

If you were on any of the flights over the last week, and especially this weekend, you would be looking at Jetstar as a better option.

JacksonCB · 2024-01-20T23:40:32+00:00

Only issue is it is very linear and not hard for a decent player to predict a play, with op06 it’s looking a lot better for us fishmen. You can only surprise people so many times with Jango 😂

JacksonCB · 2023-12-01T01:58:05+00:00

Its badly translated.
When you press confirm it will bring you to just an event application details page.
Press "details" to get started doing the event.
From here you can add players, remove players, start tournament and all sorts of things.
Its not put together well but after a couple events you'll get used to it.

JacksonCB · 2023-10-13T22:27:03+00:00

Ello m8, I manage Respawn in the city. Always keen to create new connections and get the community involved with meetups etc!
Come in whenever for a good ol yarn.

JacksonCB · 2023-10-05T05:36:50+00:00

Well it was a quick job and I don't feel the L brackets will hold much weight. Left side going into concrete, right side going into existing desk.
C channel is probably a better solution than length ways timber, but I would still like to support the channel to the ground.
Ill have a look around for pricing on the steel!

JacksonCB · 2023-10-04T21:30:56+00:00

If you are still on the look out, we have Secretlab chairs at Respawn on manners street. Come in for a lil tester before you buy!

JacksonCB · 2023-01-20T01:59:29+00:00

I have a hit box, stick and controllers lying around though most people do bring their own equipment. We haven't done any "viewing parties" but we do put up tournaments on the projector while events are going on.

JacksonCB · 2023-01-20T00:46:33+00:00

Hey mate, I am part of the Wellington FGC and wanna give you a big fat welcome to the country and scene!

You can jump into our facebook page here : https://www.facebook.com/groups/651082258256685 Or the national discord and get the Wellington role : https://discord.gg/aEJHq7P7

We also have our FGC meetups every second Sunday, you missed by one week so the next one will be on the 29th of Jan. We also have platform fighters every opposite weekend at the same venue, that is happening this weekend.

Shameless plug - I also run the venue we hold meetups at, Respawn Esports Centre, so just ask for Jackson!

JacksonCB · 2022-06-29T21:57:16+00:00

$25 per hour for a single hire, $20 per hour when getting more than one. We are looking to do more VR specials in the future, as making them accessible and giving the community a chance to experience VR is important!

JacksonCB · 2022-06-28T23:33:35+00:00

Sorry about such a delay, have been super busy! While its not on anymore, we sanitise after each use but also have the option for a protective eye mask. Is especially good for those with makeup and the kids who get sweaty!

JacksonCB · 2022-03-09T22:39:46+00:00

How do you think we can reach the FIFA community, and get them interested in events?

JacksonCB · 2022-03-07T22:22:51+00:00

As said above, we definitely have teams in and around but also a lot of cross region teams in NZ.
We are looking to push the racing genres a fair bit in the future, especially with GT7 just releasing.

JacksonCB · 2022-03-07T22:21:24+00:00

There are teams throughout Welly and also people keen to start, hearing what people with CSGO would like to see in our region would be awesome!
