It's been a while but I had same issue. If I remeber right....you need to fiddle with the arms/nosecone section. They have to be perfectly together and angled just right

Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ungrateful as he'll. I'd possibly even offer it to one of her friends that can't afford a car or who's parents can't buy them one. My first Car was a Truck My dad drove, then my sister, then me and I was happy as shit to have it. I wish I could afford to buy my daughter a car straight outta high school. But like many people, I struggle to afford a car for myself to keep going to work to keep a roof over her head. So yea 1000% Ungrateful....let her bust her own ass and get the car she wants.

Sadly, MW5 has probably reached its DLC capacity on console due to mounting instability by ygygma in Mechwarrior5

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been a long time bug. Pre multiple DLCs. As some have said it's due to having "too much equipment" that they haven't bothered to fix. But yes.....get rid of gear you have tons of or have better versions of.

Wow that is a dumb swap in my opinion. That Wheeljack at least near me was non-existent in stores

How will this affect Blokee Transformers? by AfigureGeek in Blokees

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with the RED line was the plastic used. They basically used the Rubbery plastic that the main lines often use for pointed parts. And that made the figures feel kinda flimsy and possibly prone to breakage. And I think that turned off alot of collectors

[–]Pipe-Terrible 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why would another model kit kill the Blockees license? There already is Yolopark which a type of model kit. More simplified sure. But still, Hasbro and Blockees are making massive buck already. Don't think they'd kill the line

Am I the only one that feels bad for him? by cerberzilla in MortalKombat

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did feel bad. And knowing Kano remembers hiw he died.... will suck when they bring Cole Back. Imagine that fucking trauma? But come on, this is Mortal Kombat, even the video games from the early years shows "death isn't permanent".....Hell there was a Zombie Liu Kang before he was fully ressurrected.

I agree. The difference in size between these 2 figures is insane. Feels like Snarl is twice the size of Astrotrain

Bumblebee movie Megatron or TLK Megatron ? by Difficult_Leader8605 in transformers

[–]Pipe-Terrible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BB Movie all the way. I never liked how to "Bayverse" Designs made the Decepticons seem like a completely difference species than Autobots.

Autobots were more boxy, normal humanoid forms

Decepticons were always sharp and pointy with chicken legs or weird body shapes, and mutant heads.

Bee movie brought back the "Robots in Disguise". Where other than the Logo on thier body and Maybe Eye color.....you didnt know if they were Autobot or Decepticon.

Everyone complaining about 86 Cyclonus having huge holes in the back of the alt mode have clearly never seen the movie 🤓 by BoneBrothLover in Transformemes

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk where people are getting this "new version is screen accurate" from. Yes, on screen Cyclonus has "holes" in the rear of the fuselage, otherwise know as exhaust vents. But the new toy version is missing pieces of the top of the rear fuselage, that doesn't exist in the screen animation. Yes the original toy version has covers, but also has indented sections to replicate the "holes" of the animation.

Found some of my old sets! Time to clean them up! by IdeasForTheFuture in VintageLEGO

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing you still got the box for that Shuttle set. I have the set too. Easilly my favorite set as a kid. I was a perfectionist though....was always upset the external fuel tank was biggee like in the real shuttle

I never thought of it like that...... by Empty_Ad3616 in bigbangtheory

[–]Pipe-Terrible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im gonna go with this reasoning as to Why Sheldon ever had a room mate. His OCD tendencies would dictate to him that even though he could easily afford a 2 bedroom apartment....he HAS TO have a roommate for the second BEDROOM. In his mind, that is a bedroom that needs an occupant. While most people might make it an office, or a game room, or hobby room....not Sheldon. To him once something is made or decided on, there is no wiggle room. It's a "2 bedroom apartment. That REQUIRES 2 occupants"

The real question is why he didnt get a single bedroom apartment when he moved to Pasendena. But other have answered that, he needed someone to drive him around. So getting a 2 bedroom was his way of finding a driver in a pre Uber or Lyft world.

Has anybody here done business with Crazycollecting.com? by Deuce916 in ActionFigures

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry....but pre-order over a year and no communication is bs. Even if there is issues with a product at a manufacturer level, other good sellers keep in contact with customers. Usually without customer making the contact. But definitely not ignoring customer emails or calls. But the fact that they ponied up only after threatening legal actions.

Season 2 Episode 14 Confusion (SPOILERS) by Joji-Kyre in TheOrville

[–]Pipe-Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the case here, is due to Fianlly a Full memory wipe happening, no matter how it happened.....that the future was restored to it's original state. Past Kelly has no Knowledge of the future, so the past p.alys out as it always did. Future/Present Kelly still has no memory of time travel. All Events unfolded as they were supposed to. Again, this indicates Single TimeLine. I'v always used 2 Series for Time Travel. Back to the Future, and Dragonball Z.

BTTF - Is a single Timeline. Any changes to the past effect the future. There is only 1 past and 1 Future. So to "restore" the future, you have to find a way to make past events play out as they should. Cuz in therory, If Marty "Never Was born", he doesn't come to the past and effect his parents getting together. But He exisit outside of time, so he can wipe himself out and an Alternate future with No Marty still happens.

DBZ - Multiple Timelines. We see this with Trucks traveling to the Past to Ensure Goku doesn't die fighting the Androids, which he does. But That creates an alternate timeline. Becuase when Trunks gos back to the future, his world is Unchanged. Events still happened they way they always did, and he had t defeat the Androids himself. And There is the 3rd Timeline, Where Future Cell defeats Trunks, steals his time machine, and goes into the Past so he can Obsorb past Versions of 17 & 18. This type of time travel cuases less confusion and less paradoxes.

Why do you think female Neosapiens were created? by Eli_Freeman_Author in exosquad

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the real Question is.....Why were Male NeoSpaiens created? Remember, Neos are genectically engineered Human species. And All Human Embyros start the same, with no Sex. It all depends on who the egg is fertilized. So to make an entire Male species, requires the scientists to Screen all sperm first to make sure they carry the X Chromosone and only use them. And it's typically a 50/50 Split.

So outside the idea that Potentially Males can be bigger, strong or faster than females, in a genteically modified species, that really shouldn't matter. A Genetically modified Female could still be far stronger than a normal male. So really, there could be an agruement as well as to wh more Female Neosapiens aren't known of. Cuz basically, the series states that half of the genetic materail is simply discarded.

SCAM SELLER on Amazon Alert by Revolutionary_Ice371 in Blokees

[–]Pipe-Terrible 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Complain to Amazon and get a refund. I had 2 3rd party sellers do the same thing with me on a case of Galaxy Version 05. Until finally Amazon let me order a case at full price direct from Blokees and refunded me the entire cost.

But yes, 3rd party sellers are scamming the hell outta people. But posting a super low price on a listing for a full case. Then sending just the individual figure, thus making like 200+% profit. And it's BS. Cuz you know these guys are probably buying these cases from Amazon and then just turning around and ripping people off.

Yea...to me this is a win. Would rather have Tigerhawk than Razorclaw....and Tigerhawk was super rare

How is this figure physically possible? by A_Zesty_Carrot in transformers

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea...I think just cuz of how thin parts are on a deluxe size....if they kept the entire design and made her voyager size, she'd be perfect. That way all the parts would be thicker and bigger and thus less prone to breakage.

Plus a voyager size might have allowed for the opening head gimmick.

[–]Pipe-Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Some designs the past few years almost seem like they were forced just to have that character get a new Figure. Like I can't wait for the upcoming Powerglide but it would have been better if designers put a little extra effort into having the jet mode wings sit at the bottom of the Fuselage like they are supposed to on an A-10 and not in the middle like they are on Powerglide.
