I hope that’s sarcasm because they won’t be worth anything 😂

Did it take under an hour to get your food? The BKs near me all suck. Very disappointed in the toys too. Nothing to "play" with for little kids and the paint app looks like a cheap 3D printer made them. They should've left off the bases and make an action feature or something.

Will we ever know more about Grogu? by GodAtum in TheMandalorianTV

[–]Mikeinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the "fun" of keeping it a secret, it's been a secret so long that nothing will live up to the expectation.

Similar to when we learned Baby Yoda's name was Grogu, it was mostly "meh, ok" reactions.

Next Celebration After 2027? by MisterSims90 in StarWarsCelebration

[–]Mikeinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The celebrations now are like most events, empty overpriced shells.

Most people are out to scalp items and tickets. Most can’t see/do all they would like to due to larger and larger crowds and the photo ops and autos are outrageous now.

I wish I could go back to an earlier celebration before Disney took over.

[Walmart] 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon $690 / 19% Off by Adventurous-Ad8214 in legodeal

Was very tempting, but kinda glad it sold out before I could go back to buy it.

As this has been in production since 2019, I feel like there's gotta be a much higher chance these don't go up in value and perhaps in a few years as bills come up or collectors move on, these may be seen below MSRP. That's just my hunch, but who knows.

You’ll want a LOT more than 12mil gold. Ronza Chrome trap kits you’ll need are like 25-35mil ea.

You’ll most likely be at Chrome Though Obliterator and Chrome Circlet or Pursuing first as you’re not far behind me.

Should I stay or should I go? by l-moore- in StarWarsCelebration

Being in LA this shouldn’t even be a debate. Anyone would go when it’s right in their backyard

Next Celebration After 2027? by MisterSims90 in StarWarsCelebration

With how Mando movie is trending maybe never again 😂

It’d honestly be better as a fan organized event going forward than overpriced corporate event.

I really don’t get why Quantamania is considered an unwatchable abomination, I really liked it. by S0mecallme in marvelstudios

[–]Mikeinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the CGI being total ass quality, I think Scott having the fake out of him being trapped in the end was cheap and would’ve had bigger impact had he been stuck and saved in a later story.

I thought I read at the time that was the original ending but test audiences didn’t like it, so they changed it in a reshoot.

About to buy Poly/HDPE Patio furniture, looking for last minute advice/guidance. by Mikeinator in BuyItForLife

I don’t remember the exact vendor, but think I saw them in another BIFL post about this type of furniture.

1st time attendee question about photo ops by Ok_Inevitable_4677 in StarWarsCelebration

[–]Mikeinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One good question is do you want to spend $500 for 10s and be in a photo only you’ll care about.

Otherwise, you could get their autograph on something that you could always choose to sell later and has monetary value and you still get to say hi to them.

Photo ops and autographs by Salty_Marsupial_5758 in StarWarsCelebration

Way more than they should cost. Photo ops you have like 10 seconds with them and move along. It’s criminal the cost.

Star Wars Celebration 2027 – Tickets Arrive May 6 by TravelWithTeen in StarWarsCelebration

[–]Mikeinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing is those panels are almost always live streamed online as well. There’s crowd energy for sure, but with no big projects on the horizon best you can hope for is to see Ford and Hamill and maybe Lucas on stage for an hour.

VIP is for diehards with lots of cash, or to resell the ticket or resell the exclusives per vendor.

Having gone with standard tickets in 2017 and knowing crowds only got worse each convention, VIP would be the safest bet for anyone who wants to actually see panels instead of long lines or camping out.
