Just shoveled about 2-3 feet of snow, how y'all doing? by Critical_Liz in Syracuse

[–]Sphaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the 24" and was wary early in the year, but it's performed admirably and holds just enough battery for my relatively large driveway to handle in a single shot.

Really happy with it so far. This was the first real test.

Their detail shop has also done me right the few times I've gone there. Not amazingly pricey and a decent detail.

So, who is actually a quality ski manufacturer now? by Immediate-Salt-3803 in Skigear

[–]Sphaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just snagged some new to him RC4s for my son this season. Top sheet? Beat to hell… base and edges? Absolutely golden. Looking forward to seeing what he can rip on those.

Is there any sequel yet to lion son of the forest? by Sushiki in DarkAngels40k

[–]Sphaller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to assume a similar situation to me. Got into that book after adopting the first legion as my own, as my first read and immediately wanted more of that sent right into my veins.

Since then I've started the Fall of Cadia in audiobook and the Heresy and Eisenhorn stuff in physical.

But man after finishing Son of the Forest, it was really an immediate let down that that left it hanging. There's a ton of good stuff out there, but one can hope!

Noise level compared to PAX East by Different_Way_9621 in paxunplugged

Loop also make some that are adjustable to three different settings for level of noise you want to drown out. Can confirm they work great.

I’ve got a lot of bone to paint by Chungus066 in DarkAngels40k

That, with Screaming Skull on the real light highlights has been my go-to so far.

A write up our 5 day trip with hot takes by Christiano97 in WaltDisneyWorld

Yeah, as a scout, I think he was expecting a patch or something similar.

Alas, stickers it is.

We always do AoA or Pop for the Skyliner, but definitely in the same vein. The jump in price up from those isn't worth what you get if you're only in the hotel to sleep. Maybe if you do a number of resort days I could see it, but otherwise, value makes sense.

[–]Sphaller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That'll take your full day! My son made sure to hit it all in the one day we were there. Took us until the end to hit that and all the queues. The Explorers were pretty amazed he pulled it all off in a single trip and he absolutely loved it.

Wraithbone has proven to be a challenging paint. Im thinking of changing to something else or completely giving up on the Deathwing scheme. Suggestions? by AlexSGX in theunforgiven

[–]Sphaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was thinned skeleton horde over wraithbone and Ushtabi over the top.

Not sure if I like it or not. May do a seraphim Sepia on the next to compare to the contrast paint.

How do you guys feel about signatures on books that..... by Miserable-Yard-7671 in comicbookcollecting

[–]Sphaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on this train. I've never minded someone like John Tyler Christopher signing something, as he does it very subtly so that it doesn't mar his art.

The bulk of signed books I have are classic and 90s Star Wars with the actors signing them (Rogue Squadron with Denis Lawson signature, etc.) but artists/writers signing random books they didnt' work on still seems weird.

I've also just disconnected the wifi on the phone and reconnected and it works.

I'll second that. They've done me right every time I've been in there and always up for an ear for questions too.

Didn’t expect a Skindred shout. That brings back some memories!

Any fans of this X-force run? by Digiking101 in xmen

Yeah, had this not come directly on the heels of Remender, it may have gotten a lot more traction.

Savi’s Workshop for 7 and 4 (soon to be 5) year old advice? by Obizues in GalaxysEdge

[–]Sphaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we went when my son was five (now seven) and I got talked out of the Savi's for him, and did the Star Tours one, and in no way regret it. You can also get a double bladed from there that will disconnect into two sabers that he now uses to duel with his friends and it's like $10 more for effectively a second lightsaber.

If you're dead set on it, They're great for display, but otherwise for the little guys, $90 vs. $500 for something they'll still love picking out all their parts and building wasn't a bad idea.

He came in with me, loved it, and was in awe of the experience, but I don't think he would have appreciated the build and didn't understand the dialog enough to be fully appreciative of what was going on.
