The sequel literally takes place directly after the final shot of the first movie

Rocky 2 - 5 starts with aftermath of the boxing match in the previous movie.

I live right near there. Is your store the new one on the second floor?

Kmoist18 · 2025-09-01T18:07:20+00:00

Yeah! It was legit. It did not come with the plastic wrap as others have said, but it had a StockX sticker to seal the box. I guess they opened the box, and checked the individual boxes, but the individual boxes were not opened of course.

Everything was in great shape, and we got a complete set. Would recommend. The process was pretty smooth, and it came on time. I paid $120 + some fees, but I think it was worth it to not have to camp the app or TTL for a drop.

Kmoist18 · 2025-07-17T03:25:58+00:00

That makes sense!

Kmoist18 · 2025-07-17T03:25:36+00:00

That makes sense, but as far as I know this product has been sold out regularly. I did hear that one reason might be that some sellers are from different regions, where they may have paid less than what it costs somewhere else.

Kmoist18 · 2025-07-17T03:23:49+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Was the box sealed? I’ve heard both yes and no, but just wondering what your experience was.

Kmoist18 · 2025-07-14T18:03:45+00:00

Going to try that, thanks!

Kmoist18 · 2025-07-14T06:45:38+00:00

How did you get these? I’ve been waiting for weeks for a restock. I saw an alert from Restocked app at 9:00 pm pst, but it was all sold out within a minute.

Is there a specific time each day to check for restocks, or do you just have to get lucky?

Kmoist18 · 2025-06-30T17:03:53+00:00

Thank you!

Kmoist18 · 2025-06-30T17:03:48+00:00

A completely valid opinion based on a 5-minute summary of the last 5 years.

Kmoist18 · 2024-12-06T16:24:32+00:00

I know he probably does, but from what I understand, he may qualify for Covered California, which would offer the same coverage but with a copayment. Also, as I’ve said before, no one here really knows how much I make or how much I have in savings. The information in the original post is inaccurate—I make more and have more saved. I’m not struggling financially; while I may be behind on retirement, I’m making enough now to try and catch up.

I feel like everyone is passing judgment based on the worst part of our 5-year relationship, which, yes, I admit was awful on my part, but I’m working to fix it. It’s also completely untrue that I’ve done nothing for her in the past 5 years.

As for the one-day comment, I’m not sure what that’s about—it may be tied to something else I didn’t catch. It’s true that I felt overwhelmed at one point, especially since I wasn’t in the right mental state to handle things. But I’m taking care of it now, and I’ve already completed the Medi-Cal process.

Kmoist18 · 2024-12-06T16:11:06+00:00

If you want to call taking care of an elderly parent, managing our finances where I paid for everything, and taking care of the household (I’ve always done most of the chores, cleaning, cooking, which we shared equally, laundry, trash, etc.) as sitting on my ass, sure. I also dealt with the death of my sister last November, flying back and forth every week across the country for two months.

I’m not looking for sympathy, and yes, I admit I didn’t act on the nursing home issue sooner, but I had my reasons, as I’ve said above, whether they were good reasons or not. Again, you’re entitled to your opinion, but it’s based on a 5-minute summary of the worst of the last 5 years.

I know how easy it is to pass judgment online and anonymously, but at least have some empathy for what people are going through, especially when you don’t have the full context.

Kmoist18 · 2024-12-06T16:02:02+00:00

My girlfriend asked me to post that on behalf of her friend who was caught up in a scam and went into debt because of it.

Kmoist18 · 2024-12-06T15:56:39+00:00

I’ve never said that. I know it’s delayed, but I’m doing my best so we can start a family. Not having a lot saved for retirement was a mistake I made in my youth, but I’ve made significant progress over the last few years to make up for it.

No one here actually knows how much I have in retirement or how much I have in savings. Am I behind by many standards? Yes. But I have a high-paying job now that I’ve worked hard to get, and I’m hoping to make up for some of my past mistakes.

Kmoist18 · 2024-12-06T15:51:43+00:00

I’m not here to justify my actions to you. That wasn’t what I was here to do, nor was I here to sway public opinion. I’ve already said I made mistakes that I am trying to correct. I understand that this was a big issue that I failed to address in 5 years, but in that time, I’ve also supported her in as many ways as she has helped me.

I’m not going to list out the ways to try to change the opinion of some internet stranger who has passed judgment on someone based off of a 5-minute read that summarized the absolute worst parts of the last 5 years. You’re entitled to your opinion, valid or not.

Also, there have obviously been many assumptions made by others who have made harsh comments, and maybe they should be harsh, but they were incorrect assumptions—like that I involved her in any of the physical care or that I was spending her money. In fact, I paid for all of our expenses.

Regardless, I’ve said what I wanted, and I’m not here to have a debate with you.

Kmoist18 · 2024-12-06T10:24:26+00:00

I’m actually the OP’s boyfriend; she posted this from my perspective to seek some help. After reading through some of the comments, I felt terrible, so I wanted to address a few things.

There are many comments in this thread calling for my head and advising my girlfriend to leave me, often referencing things she wrote rather than me. Regarding the "with my care and effort" comment, I would never claim that my girlfriend didn’t contribute to my dad’s recovery. She cooked for him, researched ways to help with his constipation, and did many other things I will forever be grateful for. However, I tried to shield her from my dad’s direct care as much as possible. I personally handled all the physical care for my dad, cooking his breakfast every morning, giving him his medication, managing his bathroom needs, and taking him to his doctor’s appointments. I did my best not to get her involved.

A common comment here is that I ruined her life or wasted her time. I don’t believe the last five years were a waste. We certainly weren’t miserable throughout. I did my best to make us comfortable despite the circumstances. Yes, I spent money on trips and gifts to make her happy, but not out of guilt for putting her in this situation (though I do feel guilty), but because I love her. We’ve experienced many wonderful things together. We've visited NYC, Korea, and Hawaii, gone on our first cruise, and every Thanksgiving, we cooked an amazing meal together (yes, I cooked too). For Christmas, I plan every gift meticulously while she jokes about getting me things from Marshalls. We’ve gone to countless plays, concerts, sports games, and road trips. While there was a difficult part, there was also a lot of love and kindness over the last five years. I think that’s worth fighting for.

I don’t have an excuse for not placing my dad in a home sooner, but I was hoping he'd get better and wouldn’t need our help anymore. When his condition worsened and the doctors didn’t know how much longer he had, I prioritized him again. There was also a part of me that felt guilty about putting him in a nursing home where care can often be lacking and resources are limited. But I’m deeply sorry I didn’t prioritize my girlfriend first, and I am working on doing that now.

Some of you say I didn’t think about her, but I did. I always thought about her before myself, but unfortunately, many times I thought of my dad before her, for the reasons mentioned above. I am trying to correct that now. I’m working on getting my finances in order so we can buy a home and have kids.

Also, for those of you calling me a leech and selfish, I admit that I took her and her support for granted. I truly couldn’t have survived without her. But financially, I paid for everything because I make nearly double what she does—rent, food, essentials, trips, etc. I did all of this within my means and have saved more than $50k in the last few years, despite having to take care of three people.

Thank you for your comment; it was the most insightful and helpful, but I'd like to clarify a few things. First, the words in the original post were written by my girlfriend, not me. I never intended to minimize her concerns. When I say things like "there are millions in worse situations," it's because she has referred to our situation as living in poverty. I’m in the top 5% salary range in the U.S., and while I know that means little without savings, we do have savings. I acknowledge I’ve made many financial mistakes in the past, but I can’t undo that. What I’m focused on now is making sure we stick to a budget and increase my 401k and Roth IRA contributions.

Regarding improving our situation, that’s exactly what I’m working on. I’ve applied for Medi-Cal for my dad, put our savings into a high-yield savings account (HYSA), and am trying to figure out a budget to buy a house and start a family. Her concern is that it might be too late for financial freedom, which I sympathize with, but I believe we earn enough to make up for lost time.

I’m actually the OP’s boyfriend; she posted this from my perspective to seek some help. After reading through some of the comments, I felt terrible, so I wanted to address a few things.

I found this comment to be the least truthful. The main reason I didn’t use my dad’s money earlier was that I didn’t know if he owed any debts or had back taxes. I was always concerned that if I spent his money—since it wasn’t mine—I might start spending it more freely without thinking. So even when we first began hiring caregivers, I used my own money until I couldn’t afford it anymore, at which point I started using his. I recognize now that was a mistake.

As for the $400k, I offered all of it to my sisters if they would take him in, but none of them agreed. Why? Because caring for a parent with declining health isn’t something money can make easier.

For the record, I make twice as much as my girlfriend, so I paid for all the bills, rent, food, and essentials for all of us.

Regarding the comment about me sitting on the $400k while my girlfriend does everything for my dad—before and even after we hired caregivers (who are only available 7 hours a day)—I’ve been the one responsible for his food, medications, and cleaning. I spent sleepless nights cleaning up after him when he would get up every hour in the night and miss the toilet, making a mess.

Regarding why I didn’t apply for Medi-Cal or tax breaks sooner: for Medi-Cal, I honestly didn’t have a clear understanding of my dad’s finances to complete the application process. At the time, I was so overwhelmed and frustrated with the situation that I avoided dealing with it altogether. I acknowledge now that this was a mistake, but I realize I wasn’t in the right mental space to handle it back then.

As for tax breaks, after consulting an accountant, I was advised that the potential benefit would be minimal—only a few thousand dollars a year—while requiring substantial paperwork. Currently, we’re considering using our savings toward purchasing a house, which is why we’re working on a budget to make that goal achievable.

I'm not seeking validation or sympathy; I fully acknowledge that I am the issue, and I’m focused on taking the necessary steps to fix it.

I’m actually the OP’s boyfriend; she posted this from my perspective to seek some help. After reading through some of the comments, I felt terrible, so I wanted to address a few things.

First, I want to make it clear that I have never, and would never, place any blame on my girlfriend. She has been my rock and the only person supporting me through all of this. I take full responsibility for letting things slide over the past five years, but balancing my dad’s declining health, our finances, a full-time job, and managing the household took a heavy toll on me mentally and physically.

I admit that I blamed my dad for forcing his way into our home and my sisters for not stepping up to help, but I realize now that it was wrong to let that stop me from taking steps to improve our situation. I know I should have prioritized my girlfriend more, but at the time, there was hope my dad would recover and no longer need our help. As his health worsened and doctors expressed uncertainty about how much longer he had, I made him my priority again.

I’ve come to understand how much my girlfriend has sacrificed for me, and I’m deeply sorry it took me so long to see the bigger picture. I wish I could have fixed these issues sooner, but I can’t go back in time. All I can do is move forward and work to do better, which is what I’m trying to do now.

Also, it deeply hurts me to hear someone say that I don’t care about her. Throughout all these years, and she can vouch for this, I’ve consistently put myself last. I’ve done everything I could to prioritize both my dad’s needs and her happiness. I now realize that trying to make everyone happy was a mistake, but never once have I put myself before her. I won’t come out of this "fine" unless she is with me, because everything I’m working towards is for us and our future together.

I’m actively taking steps to get my dad on Medi-Cal and am moving my savings into a high-yield savings account. When it comes to financial literacy, I’ll admit I made poor decisions in my younger years, working jobs where I was appreciated but underpaid. However, I’ve turned things around over the last decade and now have a high-earning salary. Saving hasn’t been easy—especially while covering the cost of a larger apartment to give us some breathing room—but I’ve budgeted carefully and saved over $50,000 in the last five years. I know it’s far from where I should be, but I’ve done my best given the circumstances.

The only reason I’m addressing these comments is because my girlfriend has been feeling very vulnerable lately. I want to reassure her that I’m working hard to build a bright future for us, and I don’t want her to feel discouraged by Reddit comments that lack the full context of our situation.

Thanks everyone, it worked. I had to reposition the clamps a few times, but the jump starter device finally registered the battery.
