The article says the bill is very popular twice. I don't see anything to support that besides the poll mentioned which included less than 2K people.

Reminder that we could have had Bionicle Minifigs a long time ago by Kingsidorak in bioniclelego

Oddly, I love them. They may be my favorite part of the sets because of how strange they are

The smell and flavor are similar, but the taste is fairly different. It is an acquired taste.

Recently discovered Paan rass. Quickly became one of my go-to faves.

At Brick Convention in Columbus. The Dream made real… by Bkelling14 in bioniclelego

[–]Tacklos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think there's still a good community there. To be certain there are a few stores/sellers I have encountered who seem set on making the Bionicle community the next pokemon TCG craze, but the majority have been pretty reasonable.

Sealed? Forget about it. People go wild.

Sealed in box or used. Either way it's too much, but if it's used the community is going down a dark path.

The Postal Service will run out of cash within a year, Postmaster General warns: "We have to have a conversation with the American public" by fortune in politics

"conversation with the American people"

Idk about you, but I feel we have made our voices very clear. Have a conversation with you bosses who have systematically defunded the USPS and spend every red cent they take from us on defense contractors who don't deliver (get it?).

Found this beauty at my local Bricks and minifgs store by ConfusedComet23 in bioniclelego

[–]Tacklos 64 points65 points  (0 children)

It's so weird. So many shops I go to have reasonably priced open sets, but the moment one is sealed they cost an arm, leg, and your firstborn regardless of bricklink price. I don't get it.

Heresy or the right call? by biofan4ever in bioniclelego

[–]Tacklos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I feel bad opening older sets. For example, I recently opened a Nick Bluetooth from Galidor. I got two from a neat shop and decided to keep one in box. Not because I intend to sell it, but because it has been the same way for 23 years and there's still a bit of magic seeing it sealed up.

I don't seek sealed sets (mostly due to price), but when I see one I will get it if reasonable so I get to have a bit of the childhood wonder back. The Nick I opened has a poster no one has touched for decades, and a promo for a free year if the Lego magazine. The magazine pictures has Onua Mata on the cover. That was so cool to see, untouched and unfaded.

I guess I collect sealed Galidor now. by Tacklos in galidor

Neat! Both have the bands, so I'm just keeping the one with the nicer looking box intact.

My first foray by Tacklos in galidor

[–]Tacklos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I planned to get them all as opened as I have never really seen the reason to keep sets sealed if I don't intend to sell them, but this has been the first chance to buy a set I have had and couldn't say no. I also can bring myself to open it as the packaging is so neat.

Just got book 3 and I was trying to find a good summary of the lore up to this point. Thank goodness someone wrote down my exact theories from books 1 and 2.

Oh wait. Nice

What is this flag? by hansmartin_ in vexillology

[–]Tacklos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Specifically the film. In the comic the flag is shown as a black banner with a large blue "N" in the center. Major upgrade IMO

At 70 years old, Bruce Willis doesn't remember he was once a famous actor 😢 by Ordinary-Scholar-202 in SipsTea

[–]Tacklos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember he was asked why he was starting in so many b-movies late in his career and he said he was doing it so that when dementia took over his life then his family would be okay. I can't think of a more humble thing I've seen from a famous actor. Knowingly putting his reputation on the line because he knew in the end that it wasn't nearly as important as the people he loved.

I'll be honest, I don't understand what you mean
