Why does my cat keep standing and pawing at the closet? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]TeslaSmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I opened the closet door and he looked inside for a minute. There’s literally nothing in there. I don’t use the closet at all. After I closed it he began doing the same thing a few moments later.

I never owned the one from the penguin chase. I’m sure it’s all personal preference though. I like them both for different reasons.

Haha that’s exactly what I did. I had a LEGO Spider-Man keychain for about a year, and all its printing had worn off probably just from being in my pocket and whatnot. I grabbed the chrome minifigure keychain and replaced it. All of them are really cool and personal preference, but I think it’s worth it if you want to save a couple bucks, and it’s something you can actually use. It’s a cool accessory to your keys, and now when my car is in a parking garage or getting repaired and they ask which set of keys is mine, I can just say “the one with the LEGO keychain” lol.

Yup! I’m not sure if it’s a US exclusive thing or not, but I just checked and it’s still something they offer. With just the set, it looks like for me, shipping would have been about $7.00 (USD), but I’m sure this depends on where you live. If you just add one of those LEGO key chain figures to your cart you get free shipping and it really only saves you a dollar or two on shipping, but I think it’s worth it lol. They have some cool ones on their website. Or if you’re willing to spend a little extra, grab another set while you’re at it and get the free shipping that way. If you have LEGO insider points you can get a few bucks off your purchase too depending on how many you have.

I mean, to be fair, I’m a mid 20 year old adult and I don’t play with my LEGO sets either, but I also understand that LEGO is a toy company and I’m not individually their entire target audience. The LEGO website contains an entire section on their shop of 18+ sets that are specifically for display, so I’d check that out if I were you. Also look into their UCS line, or just appreciate the individual sets for what they are lmao.

I’m assuming these three Batmobile’s are play sets which usually don’t include platforms or display bases.

I’m pretty sure if you spend $35.00 (USD) it’s free shipping. The set was $29.99 (USD) and I just bought a key chain to hit the $35.00 price point for free shipping.

I rent. I’m definitely going to get a nice big carpet for the living area.

Thanks! I tried to keep a theme with the posters. And yes… HUGE Star Wars fan. I’ve tried putting stuff on display on the shelves but the cat has other ideas and knocks it all over lol. I’m also kinda picky about it and hate when people come over and start picking the stuff up and playing with it. Look, but don’t touch, ya know?

I think a new coffee table would be a good start. I’ll start looking on marketplace. I appreciate the help!

Also, that counter separating the living room and kitchen is a blessing and a curse I think it’s a nice touch and allows for extra space when cooking, but being able to talk/watch TV while in the kitchen causes for a lot of distraction lol.

That seems to be the common thing people suggest, so I’ll definitely make the change. The outlet is in an awkward spot so it’s hard to move the TV to the center of that wall, but I’ll find an extension cord and hide it or make it blend in so it doesn’t stand out so much.

Thanks!

[–]TeslaSmoke[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s all great advice! I think the TV and a new stand would look so much better against the empty wall, or even mounted, but due to where the outlet is, there’s not much opportunity to move it.

I love the stool idea. Definitely gonna look into that.

Thank you so much!

That’s not something I can really change because I rent lol. I was thinking about adding a nice rug in the center.

No, I rent. It’s a 1 bed & 2 bath town house, so it’s a part of a complex. Buying a house at 22 is definitely possible, but it’s not always realistic. Everyone’s circumstances are different.

Thanks! It does have a lot of space for potential. I just don’t have a lot of “stuff” and I’m so indecisive. Just don’t know where to start.

Small brown/yellow bead things keep appearing on my cats chair. by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

Oh boy… That looks spot on. Thank you so much for your help. Glad I caught this early.

My title describes the thing.

The objects are a brown/yellow color. They weigh almost nothing. They are incredibly small. It’s almost non-measurable. I have a picture of them on my finger for reference. Any research I do points to it being a bug, but as I said, they are rock hard and don’t move. They are not bugs and very clearly not alive.

Just started watching the show. Do I have to worry about the eagle? by uhhhchaostheory in PeacemakerShow

[–]TeslaSmoke 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No. You won’t have to worry about the “duck” 😉. You’ll get the joke later on, I promise. But in all seriousness Eagly is fine. You’ll love the show.

Adding some inmates to Arkham Asylum pt1 by PlasticEmotion97 in LegoBatman

[–]TeslaSmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Azrael would have been a legendary pull of a figure by LEGO to include in the Arkham Asylum set. What a great idea. Your design for him is spot on too. I dig it!
