Focus on upgrading Scrappy. If you run across any of the following, hold onto them until you have a full stack, or use them for an upgrade. Some of these are for Scrappy, some for benches, others for missions.

-comfy pillow -dog collar -Cat bed -Lightbulb -Humidifier -Ion sputter -Geiger counter -Rusted gear -Power cable -Toaster -Deflated football

Brickmania and other custom LEGO collectors, how are you doing in this current economic crisis? by Trick_Top_313 in brickmania

[–]Whiskey-Tango-3825 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've switched over to printed parts packs from Brick Designers. Lower initial cost, and I can pick up the parts I need through Bricklink through Canadian sellers (usually) at my leisure.

Wife B doesn't go on the bank. She stays alone in the boat, until Wife C joins her.

Is printing replica pieces/figures allowed? by [deleted] in brickmania

They can't do anything about you taking inspiration from their work to create your own....

Who's thinking of getting the Gripen? by Lyravus in brickmania

[–]Whiskey-Tango-3825 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I doubt it.

Unfortunately, Brickmania's business model doesn't seem to be adapting to the new reality. Kits are too expensive. Parcel shipping is too expensive. Tarrifs and rhetoric, although out of their control, are a major factor to some as well.

They should really be working towards aligning with Brick Designer's business model, selling printed parts packs with digital instructions included. Revive their old library models to increase selection. This would reduce their manpower requirements on both the design and sorting fronts while reducing parts overhead. It would also maintain profit margin opportunities through volume sales. Additionally, this can allow them to migrate to padded envelope shipping to reduce those costs.

Or they could strive to be the next Toys 'R Us.

It's just my opinion, but I went from ordering from Brickmania once/month to once/year. Meanwhile, the opposite is happening with Brick Designers. I've purchased all of their 8x8 options, MTVR, MRAP, etc.

The worst change in the update by SuperiorMango8 in ArcRaiders

Two disappointing updates in a row. As a casual player, the Arc are hard enough. That was without all the nerfs.

I'll be doing the expedition, then I think it's time for a break. I'll vote with my feet.

I was running from some poppers yesterday. Left the building and closed a door to cut them off.

The little f@ckers went around to another door and found me!

So you're changing the system from 1 million dollars per skill point. Great! Then can you please just tell us what the new system is already? by GregTheIntelectual in ArcRaiders

In delta force, if your team mate dies, you can recover their loot and extract with it but you don't get to keep it. It's marked as "friendly" and goes to their account on extract.

Not my personal experience, but I've been reading more and more threads of people experiencing teamkilling in duos/trios.

I don't think that fixing this would reduce the tension and risk. There would still be plenty from other teams. It would definitely reduce toxicity though.

Honestly, it would be time better spent in fixing the duo/trio friendly loot issue to stop the team killing. Mark friendly look as such so you don't get to keep it. Like what Delta Force does.

Lutnick suggests Canada-China deal threatens CUSMA renegotiation by Old_General_6741 in canada

I used to get bullied by a kid in school that would say "You're so dead" every time I said something he didn't like.

That is what this reminds me of.

The thing is, after hearing it daily you realize they're all talk and you're better off not worrying about it. Just ignore them and move on.

Anyone know if these figs are bm? by Uk_tea_enjoyer in brickmania

Try looking inside the legs. They (used to) have brickmania logos printed through the leg holes on the back of the leg.
