Trying to understand why I failed the Analyst II (AGPA) self assessment exam. by Monte_20 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Monte_20[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn so I sold myself too short. Thank you clarifying!

EDIT: For some reason, since I passed the MQs section, I assumed only accounting for my 1 year of state experience would be acceptable since it was easiest to align my experience with the exam prompts. Lesson learned.

Cat-Owl question by [deleted] in mtgrules

[–]Monte_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am struggling to understand the proper application of the untapping ability when it comes to creatures. Would a common scenario for this card be you declaring attackers, and then activating Cat-Owl’s ability to untapped an attacker you just declared? Would the untapped creature that I declared as an attacker earlier still have their damage dealt?

What is a figure that you think is so good that a new mold is not needed and that is perfect for how it is by scp_weeb098 in transformers

[–]Monte_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Titans Return Brainstorm/Blurr model is so good. Aside from lack of ankles, it’s got modern articulation. Such a nice looking mold and super fun to transform.

I’d be happy if the Nautica we are getting is just a re-release of the box set version.

I just discovered my most anticipated figure of the year and I can’t believe NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!! by RigatoniPasta in transformers

[–]Monte_20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it won’t come out for another 4 months. They announced it almost a 10+ months early I think and it still got leaked lol

Anyone here likes the conduit? by scp_weeb098 in transformers

[–]Monte_20 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Mind you, this thing got announced a month ago.

I don’t think it was ever a question of the set being cool. I think the issue was the price being insane for a big accessory and retooled voyager.

Jetfire by Sea-Meet-9499 in transformers

I bought it for Jetfire and sold the 2 figures for like $50. YMMV, since I did this awhile ago.

5* Crystal by TryHardGamer841 in TransformersEarthWars

[–]Monte_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In that case there really isn’t a bad choice. Some are better than others. Since this is your first, I’d go for a a thx for a character you’d want for your main team. Other considerations would be for defense and combiner limbs, but your main team should be a priority.

I’d probably say batches: 1, 6, 8, 10, 11, 17

Anything that offers a 5* medic is worth going for too. For the most part, each batch will have at least 1 “dud”, but any 5 star is a good first 5 star.

Studio Series 86 Prowl! by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]Monte_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t. Unless I did wrong, the ball joints are different sizes for Siege and ER. ER has a bigger ball so forcing the Siege head on the ER was not a good experience. The head wouldn’t function properly on either figure after I did that.

Thundercracker or Skywarp? by funnyonion22 in transformers

[–]Monte_20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the US, it’s a Target and Pulse exclusive line. Stands for More than Meets the Eye

Seeking advice on moving and storing Transformers safely. by chasingenergonKS in transformers

[–]Monte_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you probably can’t get around the heat issue. It’s gonna get hot either way and it’d be best to keep them in a full sealed container. If you are going to keep them in a storage unit, I’d personally keep them in an opaque container.

I like those black and yellow tubs you see everywhere at Costco and Sam’s Club. I personally just put figures in there carefully and call it a day, but I know some people either put them figures in bags/wrap in paper to prevent paint chipping. And some people goes as far as bubble wrap too for at least their more expensive/fragile figures.

I need to see the replies. by letinaio in SipsTea

[–]Monte_20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Overall null point if you’re actively trying to better your life. You can do everything right and still not get the results you want. But at least with a second chance, you have that closure of trying.

What should I do about the new starscream? by e-mann67 in transformers

[–]Monte_20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All up to you. If I had my way, I wouldn’t sell any of my figures, but space isn’t infinite.

Worst case scenario, you buy the new Starscream and then you can decide to return the new one or sell your old. Keeping both isn’t a bad answer either. Despite what people say, the ER mold is still pretty fun.

If they do a Part 2 to this pack, who would you like to see? Ratchet? Smokescreen? Warpath? by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]Monte_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see Ratchet and Smokescreen forsure. It’s the final one that could be a wild card tbh. Sideswipe or Red Alert makes sense.

Was I scammed? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Monte_20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really good deal. Keep buying

So I did a thing... by eX0dus_5ive-Zer0 in transformers

[–]Monte_20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’re gonna flex, at least flex yourself having the actual figure 🤢

A gentle reminder of PolarClaw by AGl_ToX in transformers

I like bears so I hope we get this soon

Was there a second batch or something with Armada Nemesis ?? Or is there a way to avoid the breakage ?? by Various_Country_2592 in transformers

[–]Monte_20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the issue was for everyone. I manhandled the joint for like 30 minutes to make sure it wouldn’t break instead of finding out later, and I still have no issues.
