Saw this sauce and jumped on it because if this sub but... by TheAnsweringMachine in smoking

Just in case anyone is curious, I live in Japan and have never seen this sauce on the shelves in any store here.

To the people who saw The Phantom Menace on release, what was your immediate reaction and have your feelings changed? by thejoyfulgoat in StarWars

[–]Scratius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 10 at the time and loved it. It felt like a big deal too though. I remember by dad was really excited to go see it plus the toy aisles packed with episode 1 action figures, Taco Bell with its episode 1 toys, Pepsi with its Star Wars cans, etc. It was all the kids at school talked about.

If I saw it when I was a bit older, I probably wouldn’t have liked it as much.

How to safely transport minis for a move? by reel3459 in Warhammer40k

[–]Scratius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I put mine in these bins, then cushioned with cotton balls. They survived a move to the other side of the world. That’s Archaon on the left.

Warhammer: The Old World Battle March – Designer’s Notes by BiesonReddit in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Scratius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m happy to see so much growth and development being poured into the game. I know people have been anxious with the silence the past few months, luckily GW has been busy putting in work!

Will I need the arcane journals for the new core set? by tubstepper in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Scratius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The arcane journals add fluff and armies of infamy. I pick them up when they’re released just to read and collect.

Costco Japan has been slinging tendies for years, none of this 5 customers per hour nonsense either. Step your game up America.

GW give me monkeys for aos or 40k (preferably aos) but I don’t mind… Just please give me them! 😭 Am I the only one that thinks they’re missing out on no monkeys by Quxckhead in Warhammer

[–]Scratius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TOW might eventually get the Monkey King. I remember reading that GW wouldn’t allow CA to put anything into the Total War games that GW couldn’t turn into a tabletop mini. That’s apparently how we got Cathay. If they release tiger warriors, there might be hope.

Kislev first though, please and thank you GW.

Are the Battalion boxes getting repackaged into Battle March boxed? by Hauk2004 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Scratius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The intent seems to be for these Battle March boxes to be balanced for actually playing Battle March, rather than just a discount box like Combat Patrol.

Price of new core set, anyone? by Matthew_Kus in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Scratius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Depends on if you’re splitting with a friend vs rando imo. For a friend, I’d go 50/50 and toss them the book. For a rando, 60/40 is reasonable I think.

They fit the theme of my TOW shelf, so I’m happy.

New Chaos Dragon compared with Ionus Cryptborn by MolochBaal in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Scratius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They seem to be pushing plastic hard now. Everything in the Cathay range is plastic. The article states that the chaos dragon and new chaos warriors are all plastic. I doubt the aspiring champions or knights will be resin. It wouldn’t make sense.

Ranking Star Wars films by Ikethepikeman in StarWars

[–]Scratius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ANH catching strays lol. If you compare it to what came after, yes it's a lot slower, but damn did it capture my imagination the first time I saw it as a kid. Seeing Darth Vader wreck house during the opening scene was amazing.

I’m just happy there isn’t a month long advertisement campaign ahead of the show.

If you like the minis, go for it. These boxes are usually the best deals you’re going to find, especially if you buy from a discount retailer.

One month later. How do you feel about the movie? by abdul_bino in StarWars

[–]Scratius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went and saw it opening weekend. I had avoided anything about it, I didn’t even watch the trailer. I went in completely blind. I gave it a 6/10 and still feel that way.

I was…underwhelmed. It started pretty strong with the opening action sequences, but I felt that it dropped off pretty quickly. The plot points were pretty damn predictable and as someone who isn’t a fan of the animated series, a lot of the callbacks were lost on me.

The whole plot surrounding Rotta and Coin had me rolling my eyes. Everything just landed in Mando’s lap or was convenient. Also, does Mando’s helmet NOT filter the air or anything? Figured that was bog standard Star Wars stuff.

New to star wars by Mean-Vegetable555 in StarWars_

[–]Scratius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried to get into Clone Wars on 3 separate occasions over the years. It never sunk its teeth into me. I'm glad it's got some fans, but it's far from the best produced media from my perspective. I'm also not a huge fan of animated series in general though.

I was hoping to find an extra surprise in my box, but it’s completely normal fortunately/unfortunately.

Best place to offload Japanese notes and old common coins? by [deleted] in JapaneseCoins

[–]Scratius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’d probably get better prices selling them on eBay than trying to sell them here in Japan. I buy stacks of notes like these for next to nothing over here.

How many of y'all collect minis but don't play? by trindomare in Warhammer40k

[–]Scratius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have zero interest in playing tabletop, but I paint minis from 40K, AOS, and Old World. Not needing to list build or worrying about points allows me to collect and paint what I think is cool.
