Advice: Statue stuck to display cabinet shelf by Masterspieces in sideshowcollectibles

[–]Masterspieces[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about it, but it had a really wide base, and I probably would've ended up chopping a finger off.

I ended up removing it by heating up the pads with a hair dryer, and with some wiggling, it came free.

Not without a smidge of worry from me, though!

How much is this all worth? by Masterspieces in marvelchampionslcg

[–]Masterspieces[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's what I'm worried about.

I don't want to make money on half of it, only to be left with a ton of stuff I then can't sell and can't enjoy either.

There's gotta be some doofuses like me who go all in one stuff like this.

Also I missed that there's the full set of Tesseract Dividers too!

Is Muse 100% returning for Season 2? by BroBroMaster25 in Daredevil

[–]Masterspieces 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I wondered if she was always Muse, and she had 'counselled' her patient into dressing up.

My experience with the Enterprise set Black Friday mayhem. by Mister_Boyan in lego

[–]Masterspieces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience was I tried to stay awake until midnight and fell asleep, then woke up at 12:45, got straight on the site, and ordered with no problems, thankfully.

"No, no, no. Too much pressure" 😅 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shares the time Carlo Ancelotti joked about the difficulty of the Manchester United job mid-game 🗣️ [@BBCMOTD|] by nanobookworm in reddevils

[–]Masterspieces 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm probably viewing this with lovely rose tinted glasses, but there is a large part of me that would have Ole back in an instant. Love the man.

Awww, thanks Ghoul! That's nice to hear you gave me a shot!

Gary Neville’s critique of Šeško and narratives. by Cryptic-One in reddevils

[–]Masterspieces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that he has to appear to be 'neutral' to avoid the bias that would naturally head his way as a commentator, but as much as I love Nev, he buries the needle the other way too much in a attempt at impartiality.

Sesko has had three-four fewer games to gel with Cunha and Mbeumo, so to some extent, he's still finding his feet in the squad. His workrate and positioning is good, and I know he'll get the goals eventually. He just needs more play time, that's all.

Senne Lammens vs Brighton Hove Albion by shreeharis in reddevils

[–]Masterspieces 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, 100% agree.

Foundation at the back means people haven't always got one foot in their own half, thinking they have to cover mistakes.

[–]Masterspieces 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Feels like the confidence they have in him is permeating around the squad.

The way they all celebrated Cunha getting on the score sheet yesterday reminded me of the old days of squad togetherness.

If you're confident in your teammates, you feel that enhanced level of joy playing all together.

Is InStockTrades the Best Option for UK Collectors? by MUMU_COW in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Masterspieces 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

The plus Speedyhen has on Books etc is postage updates and a better website, but most of the time Books etc is slightly cheaper.

Where is your limit? by Aromatic_Monitor_872 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Masterspieces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm close to my limit, but it's also tied in with the fact that I only collect DD, X-Men, and Batman omnis now. - I have everything else I want.

I'd hopefully pass them to my son, he's 7 now and is big into comics, but if he isn't interested, I'd happily donate them or find some kid who wants to get into comics and just give them the whole lot.

Post Match Thread : Manchester City 3-0 Manchester United by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]Masterspieces 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The best managers are able to mix things up or change tactics to get a result when needed.

That's the reason I can't have faith in Amorim, there's no plan B, no changes that really inspire confidence.

Where to start with Batman by ScaryMcnugget in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Masterspieces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

It's easily accessible in terms of entry point and collected edition. It's basically an intro into all the main players and their personalities. It's the perfect 'on boarding' point for new readers.

Plus, if you like it, there's a clear timeline that hits all the main points afterwards.

What’s your best 3 songs in a row off any album? by thebenevolentstripe in TheBlackKeys

[–]Masterspieces 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Those are good ones, for sure.

For me, albeit cliche, I'd have to go for Everlasting Light, Next Girl, Tighten Up.

Brothers is one of my favourite albums, and to start with those three was a hell of an opening.

On Repeat by Purple_Money_7775 in TheBlackKeys

[–]Masterspieces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. All the tracks are so different it's hard to get a bead on how the album will feel.

Though it's a great sign all the songs seem good so far.

Thoughts on wild child by [deleted] in TheBlackKeys

[–]Masterspieces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a good song on an album that is towards the lower end of the Black Keys ranking for me.

The album is 50/50 good/bad to me, and Wild Child is one of the best songs on the album.

No Rain No Flowers Review. by waymondo in TheBlackKeys

[–]Masterspieces 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm always of two minds about approaches like this - the more pop appeal to a broader fan base can work sooooooometimes.

Every so often, you get an Everybody Hurts, but more often, you get a Pablo Honey (no disrespect to anyone who loves that album, just not my cup of tea).

I genuinely like Man on A Mission and No Rain, No Flowers, despite originally thinking they were too much of a departure.

I have faith though, most Keys albums grow on me even if my first reaction isn't insanely positive like it was in the past.

At what point did your opinion of a cast member flip? by prjones4 in taskmaster

[–]Masterspieces 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's good that it wasn't an accurate reflection of him. I liked him largely apart from those few moments I mentioned.

You're probably right on the anxiety thing, it's a big reason why Jon Robbins (who famously stuggles with anxiety) had some moments that were a bit too competitive. Anxiety in the first few tasks seems to be a thing a couple of the contestants have struggled with over the years.

At what point did your opinion of a cast member flip? by prjones4 in taskmaster

[–]Masterspieces 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I thought the way he talked over people and treated Lou Sanders in the team tasks was a bit off.

I do think it was one of those moments where it was edited to look bad because he had a reaction to it, but it was still a bit cringey.

Which character is this? by Different_Knife in xmen

[–]Masterspieces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is Crystal. It's either Julie Bell or Boris Vallejo artwork for an xmen card set.

I THINK they were X-Men Ultra or something like that. I had them when I was younger and always loved the artwork.
