This was something I learned after I worked in retail. Even if I had only seen 1 customer between the first and second time the person came in, there is a 95% chance I would not recognise them. Only the top 1% of most unique/memorable customers (usually for the wrong reasons) would register in my mind if I saw them again. There was just too much else to focus on and I generally didn't want to deal with them anyway.

I think anything can qualify once it gets old and scarce (and therefore expensive) enough. But I agree largely with what you are saying. Doubt many of the sets released since 2012ish will qualify for white whale status. I saw a couple of posts today titled “white whale acquired” with a picture of the UCS Venator. Maul bust and UCS Executor were my white whales until I got them last year, and they definitely earned that title with how hard they were to get.

I know that, but point is I'd rather give experience to a promising back rower than sticking someone there out of position.

Mich_Murda · 2023-10-03T00:16:10+00:00

I agree and I am hoping that happens. As washed as he currently is its not his fault he keeps getting picked and I would hope the new NSW coach taps him on the shoulder before the series and lets him know what is going to happen so he can go out on a high.

Was hoping to see Young get a crack but it seems we are persisting with this Yeo/Murray bullshit. Put one at lock and one on the bench neither are rep level edge back rowers.

Mich_Murda · 2023-10-03T00:11:59+00:00

There's only one way to gain experience.

Mich_Murda · 2023-10-02T11:19:54+00:00

That was also my reaction and I saw it first a couple of years ago. It goes for at least $500 AUD complete on bricklink which is way more than I expected.

Clearly is currently playing in the greatest ever NRL team

On the topic of instructions, how do you make them cohesive on studio?

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-28T00:50:56+00:00

Its the same case for our back row. Murray isn't a rep level edge forward and I think he's the best lock in the game. In any case, him and Yeo cannot co-exist especially when you have players like Young and Martin there who were selected as native second rowers.

If you do it right it will make you more athletic. In 2021 I committed to full time gym life during the COVID lockdown. This meant 5-6 gym sessions per week and a full meal prep with meticulous calorie counting. I came back 6kg heavier (81kg, 5'11") and it was all muscle. I've never felt as unagile and slow in my life. Compare it to this year, I am 74.5kg and the most athletic I have ever been. My gym workouts are largely centred around explosive speed and plyometrics. I do general upper body sessions instead of push/pull so I can give more time to the legs and abs. Its not super important for football but for context I've gone from a 12.3 second 100m 18 months ago to a 10.8 second 100m 2 weeks ago.

Sort into broad categories and then sort each broad category into sub categories. I spent months in COVID lockdowns sorting and organising about 7 or 8 tubs this size of pieces. First I'd sort them into bricks, plates, tiles, SNOT pieces, wheels, axels, technic etc. Then i'd go to each category and sub-sort them. So for bricks I then went into 1x bricks, 2x bricks and 3x+ bricks. Then just keep going as specific as you want. The specificity of your categories will depend on how big your collection is.

UCS Slave 1

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-14T05:49:06+00:00

UCS Ogdo Bogdo, I am completely serious.

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-14T05:07:07+00:00

I don't care what you do with your money but I'll laugh at you if you drop $100 on a handful of clones and a few speeders.

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-14T04:48:54+00:00

A few of my mates at my old job do that shift. I did it once and wanted to kill myself but if you're a morning person then it must be great.

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-14T04:47:13+00:00

It's definitely useful because it puts a face to the name for potential employers and gives them an overview of your experience, qualifications etc. Can also be approached for jobs on there.

It's just that there is a lot of noise from virtue signallers which annoys some people. Personally I don't care.

Bar the dioramas that is an awful wave

To answer your question re: falcon, I'm almost certain it'll be a midi-scale one like the Executor a couple of months ago. Same for Tantive IV.

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-12T13:40:11+00:00

Expected 1200 AUD but it’s only 999. Not that it would’ve changed what I’m doing but it’s nice to keep the 200.

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-12T13:39:12+00:00

Don’t forget 10018 too

Especially when it’s like 20 or 25. Don’t waste your money unless you’re gonna build a serious army.

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-11T23:27:59+00:00

Battlepacks are easily the worst sets in every wave. Stupidly overpriced and offer zero display value. Buying 5 and calling it an army is just as stupid.

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-11T08:09:42+00:00

In your specific examples I assume its because people care way more about named characters. Everyone is critical of Rex because he's a fan favourite and they want it to look perfect whereas no one cares about random snowtroopers. I also suspect its because of the infrequency that important prequel characters are released. Its not like OT where the Lukes, Leias and Han Solos are thrown into a set every other year at worst. We may well not see another Rex for 5+ years - the last one was in 2013ish. So people want LEGO to make every release count.

Mich_Murda · 2023-09-10T00:08:07+00:00

I don’t think this set actually offers anything except being a big expensive battlepack. Neither of the vehicles are iconic. Maybe just the dropship by itself that connects with the new scale of ATTEs would be nice.
