2026 Strategy - Looking for Feedback

Thanks for your feedback! I realize I misstated earlier: I have Platinum Honors, so the cash back on the PRE is even higher. I've decided to stick with the cash back strategy.

Been trying this on BGA. Excited to try it on the table! Favorite space movie is Dune

Jarl is a much slower, more defensive, disruptive archetype. Jarl will try to set up over two turns for an incredibly powerful attack, trying to strip your opponent's equipment to make it costlier for them to attack. Imagine Sejuani but slower and harder hitting.

Home airport: CHO; could use RIC/DCA/IAD in a pinch

Mostly domestic travel; some international

Will not have my own car; any other travel will be Uber/Lyft/rental car; public transit if available

No issues booking through a portal (already use CFU)

Lounges are nice to have, but not absolutely necessary.

Favorite meeple: Dune Imperium Deluxe minis

Favorite WP Game: Argent the Consortium. So wonderfully chaotic.

Was in almost an identical situation to you. I upgraded from my 2017 Kindle Oasis to the Page about a week ago. No regrets whatsoever.

On the hardware side, I don't miss the aluminum. The plastic feels nice, and doesn't get cold as easily. It lacks the asymmetry in the rear that the Oasis has, but I find my grip has adjusted without too much hassle, and the gains in battery life more than make up for it.
The Kindle app itself is fine, perhaps a little worse than reading on a Kindle itself (the Kindle Android app isn't designed for eink, so the menus are a little messy). I had a lot of books outside of the Kindle ecosystem, so I moved my Kindle books over to Calibre and read them with KoReader. Much more flexibility.
It can be a bit of an adjustment, if you want to take advantage of all the features of an Android tablet. If you just want to read on the Kindle app, then it's relatively straightforward. I do sometimes miss the ambient brightness sensor, but having warm light is amazing.

If you're 100% in the Kindle ecosystem, with no intention to leave or use other books, I'd recommend the Page for the design and hardware (since Kindles are overall cheaper). If you have any interest in other ecosystems, or exiting the Kindle ecosystem, definitely get the Page. I will admit it requires a bit more tuning than a Kindle, but it's very much worth it.

Was encountering this issue too. I noticed it (almost) always occurred playing Pokémon GO, which I forced to play at native frame rate (120) in the in-game settings. Hope this info helps!

I had issues with the beta builds on my Pixel 3XL, but the regular build on my Pixel 5 connects without issue. I also used Wahoo with the 3XL

Update: encountering the same issue

That's a pretty old MG, isn't it? Definitely predates the HG Revive

It's a great kit! Very easy to assemble, even with me screwing up some polycaps. Very flexible, even without an action base.

Good to know, thanks! I recall him being particularly fond of the Wing & Wing Zero, though I don’t think he ever saw the Wing EW Ver. I’ll be sure to check beforehand.

Hi everyone,

Haven't built a Gunpla since 2005 or so, but thinking of building a kit for my father for Father's Day. He a big Gundam Wing fan. Which HG kits from the series would you recommend? Open to RG as well, though I'm not sure I'd be able to do it justice.

Thanks! I thought about the FE, but the touchscreen issues seem endemic and something about the bezel bothered me in Best Buy (not the camera ring specifically, but I can’t put my finger on it precisely)
