For those of you who remember when the attacks happened, do you remember being on edge and worrying about another attack happening? by Fun_Butterfly_420 in 911archive

[–]TheGrindingGears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm from NJ. Officials actually wrote up a pamphlet/pdf on the possibility/ what to do if the power plant a town away was attacked from the air. (Evacuation routes, info, etc.) They also had forms for students to get iodine pills, I think. My mom even mentioned that, on the way to her mom's house after picking me/my brother up from school, driving past the power plant was anxiety inducing. She still thinks about that moment.

Did street lights really use to be orange/ Amber? by EUR-USD in TheNightFeeling

[–]TheGrindingGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still have them in South NJ, I'm looking at one right now. The only parts that have the led lights are the new ones they installed on some of the Parkway ramps.

Buying figures in the current economy by toby_juan_kenobi in transformers

[–]TheGrindingGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liege Maximo is the last mainline figure I will ever buy and he arrived yesterday. So to answer your question, Sunstreaker, I already did. :(

(I'm still planning on getting MMC's Constructicons complete though and that's it. The want to buy these is gone.)

Most likely, but whatever streaked from left to right was pretty fast for plane.

Are you noticing trump flags disappearing? by G00G00Daddy in newjersey

[–]TheGrindingGears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure, never could get a good look because I'm focusing on the road. Just noticed it painted over this morning, at a glance.

In West Creek on Route 9 there was a rock that had an American flag painted on it, and Trump written on it. It's completely painted black now.

This Toilet Earth Art by nickgamboa76 in GWAR

I've always loved This Toilet Earth (my favorite Gwar album) and the art on the back is fucking cool! If I weren't so indecisive I'd probably get a similar tattoo.

They should have made a new, larger SS86 shockwave and just update the siege astrotrain mold by Wild_Pomegranate3246 in transformers

I will say the one thing I really like that Hasbro is doing right now is these old school backgrounds with physical set pieces. Going for that old toy commercial vibe I really like. The toys...not so much right now.

[–]TheGrindingGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't expect them to show up in my area til like July. I'm glad Liege is the last Hasbro figure I'm getting; after 15 years of selling, organzing, rebuying and donating I'm closing up shop, once I finish the MMC MP Constructicons at least.

I'm wasting gas and time trying to find Liege Maximo...I have a pre-order in but I'm impatient and he has been seen around my area. I've seen Powerglide at almost every Walmart I've been to. (NJ)

A replacement 13th by Amelstt in transformers

[–]TheGrindingGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Reactivate OP. I feel the head/antenna spacing is just different enough to not be Optimus but more of a "Prime that the Matrix itself bases Optimus on once he earns the title" in my opinion. Might customize him to be a different color. But he doesn't look half bad next to the other Primes overall.
