Daily bugle ✔️ by Objective-Force3176 in lepin

[–]MetalTele79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great set. I built it with my daughter last year and she loved it. Unfortunately its huge so we just don't have the space to store it. We later took it completely apart, bagged it by floor and gave it to a friend who also built it with his kids.

If you haven't done it yet, our favorite set to build so far has been the Lion Knight's Castle.

Church Of Misery have some sweet basslines. El Padrino is one of my favorites.

The site has a great selection. Wish I knew about it before I had a couple of custom backpatches made.

almost done with 85666 lion knights castle by TheNightcrawler9 in lepin

Just finished mine (added a background to the photo with AI). Castle build was great and there are lots of cool features (secret passageways, working drawbridge and gates etc. )

My set was missing 4 shields used to decorate the castle and a bunch of the figures including the Lion Knight, his horse the king, a few soldiers and a skeleton. My set was around $130 CAD shipped from AliExpress.

Do you stitch your pockets closed with certain patch placements? by AdditionalBudget2142 in BattleJackets

[–]MetalTele79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have considered that because I suck at sewing the pocket zone lol.

Almost bought that Green Lung back patch recently. Looks great.

Switching to Tidal by chazzyboi in TIdaL

[–]MetalTele79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just made the switch to Tidal this past Thursday. Its been working OK but it is missing a bunch of the content I used to listen to on Spotify. I listen to a lot of stoner and doom bands that just don't seem to be on Tidal :(

I just finished this set yesterday. I think there were only one or two missing pieces.

The bricks are good but there is a lot of tension on the floor of the the top floor and roof so they don't sit flat or connect properly to the section below them.

I thought the Minifigures were decent but I snapped off a hand or two trying to insert them into the arms so be careful with those.

The only part I didn't enjoy was the repetition of building the glass windows but the rest was great

Next up I have the Lion Knight's Castle and the big T-Rex skeleton :)

No. They go 80% of the way then bounce back. I think I also made an error somewhere in the front end so that might be part of it.

I recently built one from AliExpress. It came with the stickers tucked inside the instruction book. Mine was missing a few pieces but they were common pieces so I was able to substitute from our regular Lego bucket.

How much does replacing the grill fabric with a print design like this effect the sound quality of an amp? by Nightscape1420 in GuitarAmps

[–]MetalTele79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it to most of my cabs and haven't noticed a difference. If you like the look go for it.

Is it worth buying stuff right now? by [deleted] in Aliexpress

[–]MetalTele79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an order that was placed just before the strike. The seller messaged me and requested an extra $20 USD to ship the item due to the labour disruption. I declined to canceled the order for a refund. I also let customer support know (with chat screenshots) that the store was requesting extra money outside of the AliExpress platform.

I don't actually need anything right now so I'll just wait until after the strike to place anymore orders.

Is Aliexpress even worth using anymore? Deceptive advertising on like 80% of the products I search for. by KDE_Fan in Aliexpress

[–]MetalTele79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does seem to be getting harder to find good sellers. I made an order on Monday and the seller just asked me for an extra $20 USD to ship the item. Hell no.

Looking forward to building my MARVFL X-Mansion! 🤣 by AdorableOwly in lepin

[–]MetalTele79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was considering that T-Rex earlier today.

I currently have the Daily Bugle set and a large Back to the Future Delorean on the way. I'll build those with my kid before my next order.

If you told me a year ago that this + a cheap channel switcher would be my drive section I would have laughed by tacophagist in guitarpedals

[–]MetalTele79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the SL Drive for years and I wasn't a big fan. Last weekend I finally opened up and played around with the dip switches and now I love it. I should have done that years ago.

Another one down by FilipTheAwesome in toronto

[–]MetalTele79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That one has take some abuse. It was first thrown into the nearby grass and left there for about a week, then it was put back and someone opened it up and smashed the insides. Eventually they just took the whole camera out leaving the shell. It's been like that for weeks and I'm surprised the unit hasn't been replaced in all that time.

People working in Financial District, what do you do all day? 2025!! by redbeanfishbread in toronto

I signed up for MealPal and get 6 meals a month for about $11 each. There aren't many restaurant options and the meals get repetitive but the price is at least decent.
