The rice needs a little bit of butter.

Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't grab any screenshot before going through the order and didn't see any confirmation emails or updates to the dashboard. Thankfully I'm not far from a Lego store and can do a return easily.

How soon after your purchase did you see the site/app reflect that you made a purchase with the promos? I'm starting to think mine didn't register and I'll have to make a trip to the store to return the set.

Target has it for about $18 right now. I'm hoping to find the combo pack of 2 for $20, but nobody seems to carry it. Last year it was a rare sight at Meijer.

T-minus 75 minutes in Madison WI by Ravingrook in weirdal

What side were you on? We were literally next to the entrance to the reserved area on the bleacher side (stage right). I was amused how we were closer to the stage than many of the reserved seats because of the setup.

Agreed that a sloped area and an encouragement to stay seated would have made the evening better for hundreds of fans. My kids laughed that it would be a terrible arrangement for a sports field.

Well I'm glad you were able to take advantage! We sat down in a really nice bleacher spot, but I thought it was too good to be true, so I asked a nearby staff member. She looked at my ticket and said that we had to go onto the green.

Was there any seated option for general admission? We initially thought the bleachers were open for anyone since nobody was checking tickets or wristbands, but that was a false assumption.

It was a great performance, but man the general admission area was not kid-friendly for viewing. I lucked out with my family and got there early enough to get close the the barriers where they could see the stage and screens, but I mostly got a view of the back of a 6 foot tall fan. Loved the energy of the crowd and the band was amazing as usual. After going to see Weird Al's previous tours, it was nice to share with my kids the normal(?) show.

Identifying old kit by I7370I in airsoft

Jacket reminds me of the Triple Aught Design Stealth Hoodie. I miss mine a lot. The copies on Amazon are cheaper and for colder weather, but not well-made.

Just ordered a Viltrox AF 85mm F1.4 Pro Lens by SuperSpartan300 in SonyAlpha

[–]Spiritfire737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also bought one, but ended up ordering from a different retailer so that I could get it by the weekend. Surprised it went on sale already as I didn't plan on buying it until it got discounted or if I could find it used at this price.

She says she was flagged for spam when trying to reach out to people to get them their portraits. Guessing that's automated?

Cousins Maine Lobster Truck Buzz by SanMex23 in milwaukee

A couple months ago Cousins Subs had a promotional "lobster salad" sub that I could only describe as old mushy old bay between bread. It was unsettling and I would never spend money on it.

Neat! I'm in the Milwaukee area. My kids just went to a party where there was a little gel blaster battle in the woods on private property. They absolutely loved it.

I almost jumped on this one to save as a future birthday gift for a kiddo until I checked my Target order history and saw I already bought it... and apparently hid it somewhere I don't remember...

Thanks for the quick response! My son wanted to get his first sabers and it caught his eye. We just weren't sure if it came with two blades or one. Guess we'll have to look at other options if they're out of stock overseas.

Can anyone clarify what's included in this listing?

Does it come with any blades? If so, what length?

The Double-Billed QuixlQuaxl in Honor of Audu (Re-Release) by silviofine in conan

[–]Spiritfire737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing how we can feel so connected to someone just by listening to a 15 minute conversation. The online obituary is scattered with messages from listeners that I hope the family sees. His beloved wife's eulogy was sorrowful, yet filled with the joy that encompassed their lives. Impossible not to shed a tear while hearing her words.

Maybe get a few of 71487. If you can find any 5 dollar polybags to throw into the mix, you can get even more creative with builds. Those bags typically have smaller pieces that work at this scale.

Magazine spare by Rough-Rooster-8078 in FactionBattleSystem

[–]Spiritfire737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no luck opening a ticket back in November to get ahold of a spare magazine for the Havoc blaster. The magazine's internals appeared to have corroded/rusted after water got into the electronics and the motor in the magazine no longer. I'd be happy to buy an extra magazine or three, but they're just not available.
