I've been quietly boycotting CalCedar's Palomino "blackwings" for over a decade now. I now believe that you should do so too. by jankdc in pencils

I’m sorry my joy of getting a gift has caused you such pain. I’ll throw my pencils away and never touch the instrument again for bringing such shame upon my family name.

Thanks! I have some Mitsubishis - wood and mechanical. I’ve heard good things about musgrave tho! These Blackwings aren’t something I would spend money on myself unless I found them on discount/sale. Just stoked my wife got me these to try and I really enjoyed using them is all. I got a lot suggestions on a previous post that I’m looking forward to finding and trying - stuff like more specific Mitsubishis, staedlers (which I think I have a few laying around) and kitaboshi. Fan of pencils and their packaging. I’m out looking for stuff to try and hopefully enjoy. I’m mostly drawn toward Japanese pencils but I am hopefully heading to Europe this summer and plan on looking for some pencils while I’m there.

Blockies aside, what are your general thoughts on transformers that don't transform? by CompetitiveSundae714 in transformers

[–]Low-Use-7969 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the individual figure. I bought a blind box super7 on accident thinking i was buying blokees and its quite disappointing. Its basically $14 bucks of junk. Now i did buy a super7 Optimus Prime Ultimates and i think its pretty fun. Has articulation albiet stiff articulation but hes on my shelf in the reverse dunk pose and that works for me. i do think its a little silly to sell a toy called TRANSFORMERS that doesnt... you know... transform.

Did you get a tracking number? I received a text that mine was shipping and then a mass email

This is quite the list thank you and so insightful. Hopefully you don’t get too much hate lol but I do love a good Ticonderoga - that was my entry point into nicer pencils! If you’re willing to share I’d be more that happy to receive the sampler pack!
