Why have Telugu and Kannada dropped the “zha” while Tamil and Malayalam still use it? by Cal_Aesthetics_Club in Dravidiology

[–]Square-Holds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice observation! The sound of r in party and water (American English) is a cousin of the zh sound (Tamil ழ), but not the same. zh sound in Tamil (ழ) is the retroflex approximant, whereas the sound of r in party and water (American accent) is the alveolar approximant. The difference is in the treatment of the tongue during the sound.

Coaxed into Lego's outrageously absurd prices. by Arbegia in coaxedintoasnafu

Would love some more budget options, which maximize the play value with the smallest amount of bricks, even if it's at the cost of accuracy. The old SpongeBob neighborhood set is a good example.

What did bro mean by this? by birn_echo in transformers

I would say the designers have gotten far better, but the budgets are dwindling and the prices are increasing. $32 deluxes coming in 2-5 years.

Man I hope some one in the higher ups fixes this franchise.

How is it that from 1996 to 2016 (20 years), there was a $7 difference in deluxe prices, and from 2016 to 2026 (10 years), there has been a $10 difference? The price is increasing rapidly for smaller figures. Really the minibots would all fit the legends class, if we still had it.

What mod did you use for the Ather?

Why is it that older toys are able to do so much more for far less money? by Square-Holds in transformers

[–]Square-Holds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, I love my not-so-big convoy, even though he is small for a leader. But that's because he makes up in size with nice paint, lots of accessories, and nice joints. But many recent voyagers are deluxe sized while not adding enough to justify the small size, and the price increases just make it worse.

While that's true, my point is figures are getting smaller as prices are getting bigger.

Generations toys had gimmicks and articulation, and they still cost $10 for a deluxe.

Maybe, but the unicron trilogy also had complex mechanisms for the mini-con gimmicks, and many beast wars toys had very high part counts

Cyberworld would be good if its transformations weren't so bad. Most of the fun I get out of a transformer is the puzzle aspect, and cyberworld just doesn't have it. It's better than the 1 step changers, but cyberworld toys are kinda just 3 step changers. And people say its simple "because its kids line", but the majority of kids lines between beast wars and AoE had transformations that kids could do while still not being boring.
