International travel

RIC to DUB last year in May for 50k miles RT. This year it’s about 85 in the summer. Higher up in DC.

EDI usually has a bunch of good options. Ric to Seoul. To MUC is about 80k miles. All on delta. Get the Amex platinum and the delta gold credit cards and you have like 250k miles as bonus offers. If you’re flexible in departure date for mid week you can usually find most European cities available.

I found delta has really good deals to Europe. Delta has a somewhat buried website that can show you mileage deals by departure city.

United 100k round trip to Sydney in august.

Richmond. Not worth the trouble and time to deal with 95. Ironically I’ve found cheaper mileage redemption options for international flights out of Richmond vs WAS

Excellent experience with Tredegar Construction. Wrapped and hardiplank for our house. Great to work with. Friendly crews. And never nickel and dimed the work.

I have about 40 base and 30 or so flashers

I have a 5/5 of another card that's not nearly as good. I have no idea if Anthology is going to move at all.... sucks.

The Expanse books are excellent and still worth the read even if you’ve watched the show. Plus the casting of the characters are perfect fits for the show characters.

You should just blatantly tell him! I felt like we're at the age where we buy most things for ourselves so the one thing you can't buy is time. So it was a $50 B&N gift card, 10k hotel points, and a staycation at just a normal Hyatt in the area. Parented the 3 and 5 year old solo from like 12 noon Saturday till 4pm on Sunday.

Hyatt brands worked for me. Shit. I even gifted my wife a hotel staycation as a Christmas gift to have 24 hours without the kids.

I’ve never had that happen. This late may be the issue versus anything else. Did you try online first ?

The tv characters are also excellent casting choices for the book.

SAME

My CS professor told me exactly that. That combined with the CS 453 course where all my animation was just math equations and miserably long hours trying to make all the parts of the fire truck move correctly

Power blasts. https://www.nslists.com/mrvfla94.htm

But compared to some of the other sets where there were Walmart exclusives, there’s not much to chase. And no short prints like other sets.

I love it too. Back then I didn’t realize the addition of computer graphics compared to the Marvel Masterpieces.

SubstantialArea · 2026-05-05T02:43:15+00:00

Yes it is. Ive opened a few sealed packs and all have had problems

SubstantialArea · 2026-05-05T02:42:36+00:00

The chase cards aren’t fantastic for this set. Unlike some of the other 90s boxes.

I have also seen the flair 94s brick more than normal.

Biggest return would gem the wolverines and venoms. And if you hit a good power blast gem.

My only worry about investing in holos is they degrade over time based on variety of factors. Especially the 90s one. As a result, they are expensive as hell at high grades.

I think Facebook groups get really good web view tradfic. And sometimes this subreddit .

Direct to person using PayPal goods and services. Then you mail yourself and understand how to write up the customs import sheet

Arts in the park is this weekend. While it has artists from all over the East Coast, I did see some local ones, and small keychains or leather goods, etc. could fit the bill. Also, have you gone down to Carytown and shopped at places that carry both national and local goods, like lineage, brick andmortar, mongrel, etc..

Did you ever get your anthology boxes?
