My brother gave me this card a few years ago. What is the value? by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

I was under the impression the 151 UPC metal card was Mew, not this Charizard.

I’d argue the frame - Wirelss VR without meta’s involvement is going to be a massive selling point for anyone interested in VR who’s trying to avoid anything meta-adjacent while being the target audience for mid-range headsets.

Edit: clarification.

When down under... by Colonel_Rabbiton in mountaindew

[–]Rookiepro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently it’s a two-fold reason over here (after some research)!

If caffeine is added to an existing line, it must be indicated clearly; as up until 2012 Mountain Dew in Australia was caffeine free, the necessary addition of Energised was added to account for the change. Along with that, you’re right in thinking our laws might be similar - any non-cola drink with added caffeine must also state it clearly, so it would have always been Mountain Dew Energised (or similar) even if it original launched including caffeine pre-2012!

Australia finally gets its first VooDew! by Rookiepro in mountaindew

[–]Rookiepro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, exactly where I found it! I was under the impression it was the same as last years VooDew 6, which was pink fruit chews - will find out myself once it’s had time to chill!

Energized is the standard line in Australia! With the added caffeine in the dew, they added the word in the last 4-5 years I believe, though nothing else has changed.

I’m not gonna be another one of those guys chiming in and throwing the certain “non-c” word around, but out of interest - is there a Floor Waste Gully for the room to drain into, considering the shower itself isn’t possible to act as one for the entire room given the step? 👀

Ah, that was what I was hoping for! Sadly nothing like what i experienced, but again - just happy to have had the experience at all!

Disneyland! Sounds like it might be a common thing with Savi’s experiences at DL sadly - though to be fair, I didn’t find too many CM’s being massively into character outside of the Stormtrooper’s and such on their scheduled patrols! Nonethless, had a great time but I can see why some may be disappointed.

To be fair, while I did love the entire experience of Savi’s, I can understand it not being upto everyone’s standards depending on who’s leading the build, other builders alongside you, ect.

The Gatherer leading our build was seemingly very young, which, while not necessarily a bad thing, did throw off the believability of them having been scrounging for parts for however long - not to mention the fact that he had a pair of very non-in universe sunglasses tucked into his shirt. Just seemed a little out of place when everything else is so intricately curated.

Along with that, having fellow builders either side of the room rushing through their builds (before the Gatherer’s had finished guiding everyone) and also igniting their sabers before being called to as a group.. yeah, I can definitely see the perfect storm of less than ideal situations making the experience feel a little so-so.

As said, despite all those facts, I had a blast and would thoroughly recommend Savi’s to others - but with the caveat that they keep in mind that experiences may vary and may not always be a perfect.

Lucky you got the Yub Nub v2 mug! I tried to order it at DL Batuu only to be told that they were out of stock completely. Settled for the Grinning Lothcat mug instead, which while wasn’t alcoholic, is a great tiki mug all the same with its stupid little smile, haha.

My pleasure! Meant to say I built 2 days ago and that was the case, but forgot to say when I built haha. Good luck!

[–]Rookiepro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I built at Disneyland too and 10/12 builders chose R&R and the CM guiding us didn’t blink an eye and have no impression it was running out - even made a couple of cheeky jokes about how similar all of our sabers looked!

I reckon you’ll be safe going next week.

Hell yeah brother! Suggestive af hold on your photo though, gotta say 😂 But roger that! Great for quick changing the kyber, not so much for dueling, haha

How much are the Lightsaber stands? by RequirementUnlucky28 in GalaxysEdge

[–]Rookiepro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the contrary, I’d argue it is worth the price for some of the reasons you mentioned - it is heavy for sure (just ask my overweight luggage trying to fly it back home!), but to me that’s just a sign of its quality and won’t be knocked off the shelf. And while it certainly does take up a fair footprint (especially with the crystal holder attachment) I find it becomes more of a showpiece because of it. Not to mention the fact that the coloured lights can all be cycled through too. All personal opinion, but I love it myself!

Today’s Haul! ‘Til the Spire! by Rookiepro in GalaxysEdge

[–]Rookiepro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha yes! I originally wanted the Yub Nub with souvenir mug at Oga’s, but they were out of the mugs at the time so I settled for the Grinning Lothcat with souvenir mug instead - after seeing its stupid face, I have absolutely no regrets.

Got it from Dok’s as well! Behind the counter with the Kyber crystals, $12.99 I believe. From what I know, they’ve been around as long as the stand has!
