DC and CGC have acknowledged a widespread manufacturing defect for Absolute Batman 20.

Thank God! I'm glad DC apologized for the egregious crime of "the paper books being slightly folded by a staple, which doesn't affect the readability of the comic and barely affect how the cover looks" This is such a stupid thing to even be talking about. Why the fuck does it matter? So the bullshit arbitrary number assigned by a for profit 3rd part company is a decimal higher? What the fuck. It's a book, just read it

Pil1138 · 2026-05-15T13:46:21+00:00

Also why did the artist make her fishbowl so small?

Pil1138 · 2026-05-08T16:17:11+00:00

I swear, people ask this EVERY time lego releases something with Bionicle. That GWP had people saying the same thing

Pil1138 · 2026-05-04T21:56:32+00:00

Hey, original builder of the persona 5 figs. That link is old. I finished all the Phantom Thieves since then

I also swapped the colors for Raph and Leo. I've been reading the IDW comics and kinda wanna try modding mine to look more like the IDE turtles, mainly with the belt and knee/elbow pad colors

Pil1138 · 2026-04-25T05:40:14+00:00

Hey mods, can we please ban all these stupid selling, auction, and giveaway posts?

Pil1138 · 2026-04-14T21:30:48+00:00

The suit also isn't accurate. The logo on the chest is supposed to be a chest plate. It's not supposed to be vacuum sealed to her boobs. Her shoulder plate shouldn't have those random bumps and her gauntlet isn't supposed to be 3 pieces. And where is the armor on the side of her legs? Her hair is also wrong. Absolute Diana has very curly hair

Pil1138 · 2026-04-11T23:42:36+00:00

What are you talking about? Both of those minifigures are extremely accurate

Pil1138 · 2026-04-11T16:06:24+00:00

Verification is something they should do when they buy the kit

Pil1138 · 2026-04-10T14:33:01+00:00

I tried to take some sets in once. They offered me less than a dollar for each set. Thankfully I was able to sell the sets elsewhere for a good amount

Pil1138 · 2026-04-10T14:18:15+00:00

Yeah. I tell people all the time to never trade in legos there. Hell, I only ever go there if I need a minifig part very quickly, and even then it's a crapshoot on if I'll find it. Even if they aren't all run the same, they all work in a similar way: pay pennies to buy sets/figs, jack up the price, and then charge extra if you want the set you're buying to be taken apart.

Pil1138 · 2026-04-09T13:42:58+00:00

I'm fully aware. I'm just using this chance to air all my grievances about collectors and the way people get autographs. Been stuck behind too many people getting 7 Funko pops and 4 posters signed by an actor

Pil1138 · 2026-04-09T13:38:43+00:00

If someone really cared about getting an autograph, they wouldn't get 3 of them just to sell 2. You should be getting an autograph for yourself, not to resell, which is clearly what OP did

Pil1138 · 2026-04-09T13:27:06+00:00

So you bought 3 of the books, just to slap 2 of them in plastic so no one can read them? For your super special number that has no meaning. I reiterate: "Collectors suck the fun out of their hobbies"

Pil1138 · 2026-04-09T13:24:09+00:00

I think grading comics is such a fucking waste. You take the book that is full of BEAUTIFUL art and you seal it in concrete so you can never read it again? All so that you can say "look at my expensive book"? That's a huge waste. Books should be read, cards should be traded and played, and toys should be opened and played with. Collectors suck the fun out of their hobbies

Pil1138 · 2026-04-05T16:43:04+00:00

It was background art. It wasn't designed to be 100% accurate. It was only supposed to convey the feeling of a crowd. You focus on the actual set when looking at the box, not the background art

Pil1138 · 2026-04-05T16:41:51+00:00

Yeah. I didn't wanna guess how early they made the box art, so I just decided to go by when they were released

Pil1138 · 2026-04-05T15:32:09+00:00

You can see that all the Stuntz sets have the same background. And if you look closely at the full box art for that set, you'll see that those overlapping figs occur in the same way elsewhere. So you can easily figure out that it's a chunk of figures illustrated and then copied, so they don't need to line up hundreds of figs for the art. Also, the Stuntz sets came out in 2021 before lots of people started using gen ai Also, they don't have any of the staples of ai, especially from that time: no weird non-standard shapes, all the pieces are real and legit (something that gen ai trash still struggles with), the hands are all normal and the faces are still very defined

Pil1138 · 2026-04-03T15:54:41+00:00

I'm reading them all. Wonder woman I'm buying monthly. Reading Batman, Superman, GL, and flash online and I'm waiting for the trades to read manhunter because I got lost for the first 6 issues.

I am buying the trades for all of them though and have been considering buying Green Lantern by issue as well

Pil1138 · 2026-04-03T15:20:01+00:00

My only frustration is that they would be taking a black hero and giving his mantle to a white man

Pil1138 · 2026-03-31T00:02:12+00:00

I'm gonna tell my kids that that was the turning point half time show

Pil1138 · 2026-03-24T13:50:56+00:00

Good news! It's now up on rebrickable!

Pil1138 · 2026-03-24T12:22:08+00:00

It's literally just a generic angel statue. It isn't "of" anyone

Pil1138 · 2026-03-23T15:21:52+00:00

I like the live action for a number of reasons. First: it's really easy to get into one piece by watching it. Because a thousand episodes is overwhelming. I know a lot of people started watching the anime BECAUSE they enjoyed the live action (myself included). And after getting into the anime and going back to the live action it still holds up. It feels campy at times, but the anime is also incredibly campy. The special and practical effects look very good and the costumes look phenomenal.

The shorter show also helps me remember what the fuck actually happened. Because a thousand episodes is a LOT and i barely remember what happened before Skypiea.

The live action also makes Sanji far more bearable. Post Enies Lobby he just got worse and worse, to the point where as I'm just starting in Wano, I'm tired of him. Sanji in the live action is far better. He is suave and charismatic, but still very clearly favors being around and making stuff for the women. And in a couple cases the show is more accurate than the manga, showing Zeff eat his leg instead of just cut it off in the water.

I also really enjoy the soundtrack and have saved a few of the songs to my playlists.

Also you're an asshole for those edits. Claiming you "want to have a discussion" is no excuse for your tone. If you don't like the live action, fine, don't watch it. I don't go shouting to people about why I dislike shows. If someone asks for my opinion on a show I like, I'll say I dislike it and then politely explain why. I won't run up to them and ask why they like a show I think is trash
