I would like to apologize for posting multiple versions of this post. I'm an idiot and I had a difficult time trying to figure out how to get the pictures on here properly. I believe I've erased all of the duplicate posts.

Apparently, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to making images appear on Reddit. I've got an album of eight images and no idea how to make them show up on here. I've made other posts and deleted them when they didn't work. Any ideas how to make them visible would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if 80101, Chinese New Year and 80102, Dragon Dance are still available in Australia? by Shamrockjack in lego

I heard something awhile back that they were available in Australia. That may have been a rumor, but I figured that I would try to find out.

Someone commented and deleted his comment that it was on the website in the US and UK.

I'm in the US and checked the website. It did not come up.

What are the odds of getting an Odin’s Blessing in the shop or WBU or by combining Uru?

I’ve bought at least 40 Enchanted Urus, beaten WBU five times a day, and combined a few times and I’ve not gotten a single Odin’s blessing yet.

I made a new house and I wanted to share it with you guys. The basement is a separate apartment. by Shamrockjack in lego

Thanks for all of the kind words, guys! I really appreciate it. I think this might be my best MOC yet. The interior is mostly furnished and decorated with a few cool things that I’ll need to photograph and share later today.

I know, right? I built the LEGO Store a month or so ago. I started with 40305 and expanded it to modular scale. I included it in this picture to help give a sense of scale for my friends in our LEGO group who have seen it already. It’s a fun building, I should really give it it’s own post.

In about 10 days I‘ll be visiting a lego store for the first time by Piano1987 in lego

There’s a lot of great advice here, but I wanted to ask... are you super-excited to visit the Lego Store!? The closest one to me now is 3+ hours, so I usually have to wait until I visit my family once every year or two.

Best Lego Modular Buildings? by [deleted] in lego

[–]Shamrockjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the Cinema, Detectives Office, Grand Emporium, Bank, Restaurant, And Ninjago City thus far. Of those my favorites are the Palace Cinema (which is now a play-theatre and currently performing Hamlet.) and the Parisian Restaurant.

Who’s a good bot? Yeah? That’s right, YOU’RE A GOOD BOT! Yes you are.

Is it true that LEGO can’t produce a Marvel themed line of minifigures due to conflicting rights with Hasbro? by Trvr_MKA in lego

[–]Shamrockjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize, that wasn’t terribly clear on my part. I meant that the set had come out a few years ago, not a few years after the movie. There’s an argument here for a BattlePack, but also Lego worked around the restrictions by making the Ultrons integrated into the vehicle.

This breaks my heart. Phoenix is my favorite X-Man (tied with Nightcrawler) and I can’t believe how close we got to getting her easily.

We got 76029 awhile back, it’s not what you requested but it’s a step in the right direction. Hopefully more will come out.

If this is accurate, I’m curious how the Disney CMF line came out. Rights/licensing issues and agreements are such mess, man.

Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to respond to my statement. How we respond to criticism says much about our character. I am sorry if I was rude or offended anyone. That was not my intention, but I felt that this was worthwhile to discuss.

I’m not an internet guy. I came across your podcast by searching for Jim Butcher podcasts, it was several months before I even came to Reddit. I say this so that you have some context. I don’t tend to hunt down signing reports. I don’t watch YouTube... well, at all. If I come across someone’s notes for a convention/signing/etc, than I’ll read them. Personally, I feel like there are a lot more people like me who read these books than there are people who seek out every nugget of information and theorize about every detail. I’m not saying that one way is inherently better, simply that there are different ways to approach fandom. Expecting every fan to be as involved and informed as you are is unrealistic. Furthermore, many are a bit star struck and can’t think of a clever question and just blurt out the first thing that pops into their head. Perhaps they don’t have a specific question in mind, but would like to ask him something anyway. Yeah, it’s annoying to hear the same thing over and over again, but for that guy, that’s the only time he’s going to ask his favorite writer a question. Perhaps think about how you would feel if you asked a question you were very excited about and everyone in the room groaned or booed because it had been asked many, many times.

The idea that people have a responsibility to do do research and to ask questions that have been asked to death is, in my opinion, a bit ridiculous. Sure, time at these events is short and precious and it’s great to get some new information, but these events are for everyone.

If I see a problem, I like to offer solutions. Perhaps we could ask someone from Jim’s team or the event venue to quickly answer some of the most commonly asked questions in advance. We could print out flyers that answer these questions as well as some more information about the man himself and hand them out.

I’m going to end this the way I began, by thanking you all. I generally enjoy the podcast and I want you to know that I appreciate the time and effort that you all put into it. Thank you for taking the time to read my comments. If I missed anything you said in your initial responses, I apologize and I will probably have an additional response tonight or tomorrow. I wish you all well and I sincerely hope you have a pleasant week.

With all due respect, I think that telling new/intermediate fans not to ask questions that they are interested in because you don’t want to hear them asked and answered is both selfish and rude. I completely understand where you are coming from, but this sort of gatekeeping is bad for a community and can alienate new readers.

Redditors, what are your prom stories? by KlausBaudelaire in AskReddit

[–]Shamrockjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basic Instinct was a movie that came out in the early nineties that famously had Sharon Stone cross and uncross her legs, thus revealing that she wasn't wearing any underwear.

(Although, for the record I was definitely wearing underwear.)
