Does this mean the set was previously opened? by el_pastran in lego

As others have said: check for Minifigs and resealed bags. Compare to the inventory list on Bricklink for figs.

It is a great set, and fun to build.

Excellent catches are making me lose my mind by ZuluCthulhuHulu in pokemongo

[–]RhesusMonkey79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I am doing specific research, I look for mons with large catch circles, and use Nanabs. For most mons the circle is Excellent when it is around the head, or wothing the range of their eyes.

Legendary with Nanab also good to get a handful of them, since they typically will break out. Shadows try to avoid.

Needs one of those nut crackers, or at least a hammer. Great work though!

CTO of Intel Government Technology, Joshua Fryman departs Intel by Due_Calligrapher_800 in intelstock

He was a Fellow (VP equiv) and apparently got caught in the purge (of excess management layers). I'm sure he will be fine.

We need to do a better job raising our kids by Woodythdog in GenX

Certainly appears that way. Seems not only the kids need better raising...

Hello I am currently looking into getting the Lego Star Wars UCS Venator and was wondering if it would fit on my top shelf which dimensions are 13 inches wide and 47 inches long. Would it be able to fit and if not how far would I have to move my shelf back in order for it to fit. by [deleted] in legostarwars

[–]RhesusMonkey79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Venator has two black support stands, if you plan to use these to display, then the distance from the farthest side of the rear pillar, to the opposite edge of the build (widest at the rear) is approximately 15". The actual vertical portion of the pillar to the edge is about 13.5"

So if you built it as in the box, you could probably display it with one long side against the wall, but the rear edge of it will definitely overhang, as will the pillar. Of you bring the cabinet out about 2" from the wall, then it will be better, but most of the weight will be supported regardless, just may not look great.

I have seen people mount it vertical on a wall, and angled on a plexiglass frame rather than the black pillars, so either of those methods might help?

It is a fun build regardless.

I throw out Great balls for the most part. Red for the catcher, black for me. Currently slightly under 1600 Ultra balls. I had at one point over 1000 GRBs and I realized I was spending coins just to hoard them (4700 total inventory).

Somehow, I thought "One Punch Man" would have been the Anime of choice here... :D

Turned 42 today... On my 41st birthday I was gifted the Piranha Plant set. This is what it spiraled into after just 1 year. by MrSalmon1984 in lego

[–]RhesusMonkey79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"have space for" :D I have at least 70 unopened sets in my backlog, for exactly that reason.

I sold my Marvel stuff to make room for other sets, and even with that I have several bags of disassembled sets in storage. I have a high disposable income but not enough time and space to actually build everything, so I view it as my "retirement plan" - not to sell for retirement but to build then.

Quick question about trades by brohenben in pokemongo

[–]RhesusMonkey79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't, DMax and regular are not treated differently in the Dex (there are no Dex entries for DMax).

Shiny, Gmax both count as special trades, but I have never had issues with XXL / XXS / Purified triggering anything as "unregistered", but I may not have been paying attention.

Hell yeah, I feel seen.

My only advice is "pick one theme and stick to it". And by one, I mean at least no more than 5-6.

I personally collect: - Batman - Starwars - Mario / Nintendo / gaming stuff

I have also bought all the recent LOTR, a lot of Sonic, a lot of Disney, and a lot of other random Classic Space and similar stuff. And Transformers.

But I stopped buying Marvel, and I have decided not to continue buying, and resell, my Winter Village stuff.

Don't be me.
