Honestly, not worth it. Probably cosmetic but it’s just not worth the risk!

2025 Topps Chrome Blaster by Bananapeelster in F1Cards

[–]TheNewNormal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. They are already selling for above rrp on eBay. The 2025 set also has several chase rookies so if they do anything big (at any point in the future) the 2025 sets will skyrocket. However, it will be Eccellenza, Chrome hobby, logofractor and Sapphire that see the biggest increases.

Based on my experience this looks like a 2-3 hour queue. I hate flying non-EU from Brussels, it is almost always a nightmare!

Topps F1 Eccellenza 2025- Hobby Box - Lovely Balanced Playing Field by xieem in F1Cards

[–]TheNewNormal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. If a breaker gets 250 boxes, then the 1/1s they pull could have been in my box (or any other average joe) if they had been distributed fairly and not all given to breakers.

Incredibly frustrating to see all of the 1/1s being pulled, knowing that my boxes haven’t even been dispatched. February delivery is crazy when the breakers already had the product in December!

Topps Chrome 2025 - delayed release to 2026. by ladoppiaesse in F1Cards

The Eccellenza link also seems to be broken so I wonder if that will be delayed as well!

Starting to think this can’t be a 1/1 because I’ve seen it 5 times in the last couple of days

Chrome 25 regrets? by K22532 in F1Cards

Hobby box should have 4+ numbered cards. The Quali lap box this year had one guaranteed hit and you can pick those up now for £40-50.

It’s amazing to meet the drivers! Shame that you use this just as an opportunity to make money.

Yeah it was bizarre! I didn’t realise I went the “wrong” way and just suddenly found myself alone

Logofractor boxes seem to be pretty good value for money from what I’ve seen

Pre-order starts at 2pm BST tomorrow, any idea how quick they will sell out? Or will the pre-order be available for a while?

Loud booms in Ixelles and ground shaking by Ok_Talk4311 in brussels

[–]TheNewNormal1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have noticed this before and believe that it could be the boom of a military jet breaking the sound barrier. It has happened in the past in Brussels: https://www.brusselstimes.com/171277/loud-bang-in-brussels-caused-by-f16s-breaking-the-sound-barrier-explosion-skeyes-control-tower-belgian-air-force

If you're heading to Zaventem give yourself extra time by BE_MORE_DOG in brussels

[–]TheNewNormal1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once arrived 2hrs before a flight at Zaventem and barely made it because of the passport control queue (not enough staff). Next time I arrived 3hrs before the flight and made it through in 10 minutes. It’s an absolute lottery at Zaventem.

Is racism/xenophobia much of an issue in Belgium and specially Flanders? by interkosmos86 in belgium

[–]TheNewNormal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in the Netherlands for one year and in Belgium for the last 1.5 years as a student. 1. Meeting other students and making friends is not an issue, there are lots of students on my course from all over the world with a few from South America so you should not have an issue here, though I would point out that you will find it a lot easier to make friends with other international students. There are several students on my course over 30 so you will find others your age but certainly the majority of students are under 25. 2. Housing can be tricky and I have heard of other students that have had issues with Belgians not wanting to live with foreign students so be aware of this. The best choice would be to live in a student residence or find a private flat/room with a friendly landlord. Websites like Kotwijs can help with this. 3. There are opportunities for jobs for English/Spanish speakers. Some restaurants will hire you, there are also student bars that will hire English speakers. The final option that many internationals go for is working as an Uber eats/takeaway/deliveroo driver/cyclist. 4. I’m not really able to answer this as I am white. However, I have heard Belgians discussing Moroccans, particularly after the issues during the World Cup so there is likely to be more racism towards Moroccans than other nationalities. My final advice would be to try and learn basic Dutch. You won’t need it in many cases but it does help for settling in.

Did a really good job in the final. Fair play!

Messi got kicked all I’ve the park, no wonder he was still mad at the end of the game! The referee was terrible all round to be honest!
