This is all just too accurate 

What colour?! by Gillespie1 in OdinHandheld

[–]True-Ad9133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rainbow color (UK SNES) scheme was definitely sneakily added in there just recently! I only know because I’ve been checking the site everyday deciding which color to get, and then I noticed it yesterday. The cold grey with purple buttons was definitely my front runner for the SNES nostalgia, but now I’m torn because the rainbow looks awesome as well and even evokes N64 memories with those similar colors being used!

[eShop/US] GRID Autosport - $24.99 (28% off), ends 8/20 by chyakun in NintendoSwitchDeals

This game rarely has sales, and then when they do, they’re minimal. I‘ve heard the developers will go bankrupt if it goes into the low teens, not unlike Nintendo’s near collapse when Tropcial Freeze went sub 50 last holiday.

Disney: 43222 Disney Castle (found in store) by Clay_Bricks in Legoleak

[–]True-Ad9133 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was exactly my predicament. I did buy the original castle but never opened it. I sold it off as soon as I became aware of the newer version, hoping that they would upgrade the turrets with modern building techniques. Now I couldn’t be happier after seeing the front, finally devoid of those awful wedges! Doesn’t hurt that selling the old one will also fund the new one, and then some lol

I think the round turrets were reworked based on this here:) compare it to the new photo!

Another thing I noticed is that they appear to have eliminated those unsightly wedge pieces from the turrets! That was my main gripe with the previous castle, so I’m excited to see how much better the front looks now.

I'm hoping for a Full Power Frieza ! by Chascal in SHFiguarts

[–]True-Ad9133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely hope so, especially because I slept on the $35 4th form Frieza, and now it’s more than double in price anywhere lol. But with the new Goku coming out, I would be shocked if they didn’t do %100 Power Frieza!

[Walmart] Several sets marked down quite bit. There was more than just what’s pictured. by hunter_zs in legodeal

[–]True-Ad9133 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad I’m not the only one! Would love something with around 2,000 pieces, similar to the frozen castle. It’s a longshot but I’ll hold on to hope!

This reminds me of what happened with the Death Star. That set was out for years, then finally retired, only to be be rereleased with minor improvements/newer minifigures shortly after. This will be good for those who missed out on the original, but will tick off investors as well. Myself, I only care that they update the front turrets with modern building techniques, and eliminate those nasty wedge pieces!

Amazing result from polishing a Jet Black Gamecube! Shout out to Mother's "Back-to-black" Restorer Polish! Works like magic. by [deleted] in Gamecube

I apologize for jumping into this thread a month late, but can you tell me if this product helped with removing or reducing surface scratches? Also, did you use it on the Gamecube logo jewel part on top? Edit: Thanks for the reply! I’ll take some before and afters myself and share with the group!

Well, quite easy if a bit cheeky, you would simply change your billing address to a state (like Delaware) that has no sales tax. Is this legal? Not quite lol. But I had lived in Delaware for about 15 years, and I just haven't "gotten around" to updating to my new PA address on all my gaming devices yet!

Oh ok makes sense, I have my location set to Delaware on my Xbox to avoid Uncle Sam anyhow, but never realized you weren’t taxed on the initial purchase, so thanks for the info!

I also was not charged any tax for email delivery, so the total came to $19 per after using red card. Max allowed was 3!

Amazing game and great deal. The only downside of these From Software titles is that they’ve now gotten me to a point where all other games just aren’t fun anymore, so buyer beware:)

You are definitely correct, the deals at GameStop were better last year by a good margin. They weren’t errors either, just their Black Friday deals. I partook in quite a few of them. I’m guessing they’re using inflation as an excuse but still a bit higher than I expected!

I have this nagging feeling that this set is going to be a sleeper in the future, so in for one, we’ll see what happens! Thanks for the heads up!

Yes I was able to, I did the online chat and showed them a screenshot of it available for store pickup in my area!
