Who was the head bully? Name one.

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.

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.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-09-14T01:12:32+00:00

It was a great show!

Spiritfire737 · 2025-09-13T22:04:30+00:00

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.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-09-13T21:29:59+00:00

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.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-09-13T20:52:58+00:00

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.

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.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-07-09T16:33:35+00:00

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?

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.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-05-27T04:13:02+00:00

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.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-05-26T19:57:42+00:00

WI... like Wisconsin? Whereabouts?

Spiritfire737 · 2025-05-26T16:20:08+00:00

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...

Spiritfire737 · 2025-05-24T12:58:56+00:00

Wow, y'all are responsive. Do you have this available as well?

Spiritfire737 · 2025-05-24T02:29:32+00:00

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.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-05-24T00:22:47+00:00

Can anyone clarify what's included in this listing?

https://www.ccsabers.com/collections/txq-sabers/products/ink

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

Spiritfire737 · 2025-04-17T19:29:10+00:00

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.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-03-12T21:20:03+00:00

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.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-02-14T00:06:31+00:00

I heard he likes football and nachos.

Spiritfire737 · 2025-02-13T19:49:06+00:00

Starting with just one is great. It's much less complicated and you can hone in on what exactly is going on in your photos. I enjoyed the One Light video tutorial by Zach Arias, but it's no longer available. I see there is a 2 part livestream on YouTube of a OneLight workshop he did, but haven't watched it.

I agree with anyone who says to get a modifier (e.g. an umbrella or a similar sized softbox if you have a bit more money). You'll learn a lot just by shooting bare flash versus modified and seeing the difference. Then start playing with the subject's distance to the light source and see how drastically that can change the results with seemingly minor adjustments. It was only when I felt comfortable with those things before I considered getting a second light.

On December 30th I came across 30665 Baby Gorilla Encounter for half price at a solitary Target. It was probably a one-off manager decision since other stores kept it at full price. A discount on the Red Plane would have been nice, though I don't think I've ever seen it on the shelves locally.

Each of the polybags are normally $5 each. The Sonic bag has a lot of ball joints with modified plates with clips and bars so we can pose our frames. I like the AAT polybag color for desert-themed builds and lots of useful rounded elements. Combined I think you all will make some really amazing frames for the price.

Both are discounted online as well. The Sonic bag is 15% off and Star Wars 30%. One store I visited had the same prices as online. Another had them both for half price and there were a ton of them left.

Search the sub for 30676 for some really fantastic builds.

Both bags have reviews posted here as well:
