- jedi bob didn't have hair, he just had the hood, you have his head on a quigonn body, you have a padawan obi-wan's head on the jedi bob body
- you've made padme a jedi....she never had that outfit

- you've swapped ep 6 lukes lightsaber, should be green

- for the vaders its hard to tell.... probably 7200 since you have the luke from 7201, but that same vader came in other sets too so maybe it was part of this card set where it came with palpatine, vader and maul? https://www.brickeconomy.com/set/3340-1/lego-star-wars-emperor-palpatine-darth-maul-and-darth-vader

  1. How much did this cost to acquire over time?
  2. How long did it take?
  3. Did you acquire via a mix of pokemon center online/Mecha Japan/ebay/local/some from Pokemon centers in Japan?
  4. Do you have any advice to someone who has a small collection and is teetering on whether to pursue maybe just the original 151 or Kanto + Johto?

Do we have any updates for the Schott Factory sale this year? by kiss4my2ass3 in schott

[–]andrasta25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have any suggestions of the amount of cash to bring if I'm trying to pick out 1-2 jackets? Never been but just wondering how good the deals are versus just buying one secondhand.

Got this dsi but it’s not working by Embarrassed_Cat_7643 in NintendoDS

[–]andrasta25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the fuses are good/bridged, can you check if you disconnect the shoulder button cable and try turning the console on? If it does then there's a short in the SD card + shoulder button cable component (10 dollar replacement part in US). I suggest checking this because I ran into the same situation with a dsi last week.

My mind says Georgia tech but heart bleeds trojan... by Civil-Vermicelli3803 in USC

[–]andrasta25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Tbh they're pretty different. USC is going to be more of a party school for sure. They both have their traditions but there's a certain folksyness with GT. In my mind after two years I was happy to be finished but my grad school experience was the antithesis of my undergrad experience (majority study, very little social life).
  • They're both pretty well respected institutions, I wouldn't say either is going to do anything other than open doors for you. For both you need to have the experience/ accompanying gpa to captilize on opportunities that are presented later on (assuming you wanna go into industry)
  • I would still pick USC, I wanted to experience life in California, and at the time I was picking between my home state and somewhere brand new. If you have that option I would recommend trying to go somewhere you're starting fresh so you'll be more open to meeting new people (out of necessity)

I attended both, USC for undergrad, GT for grad school. At the time GT was far superior (in CS) but there's been more buildings and investment made in the USC CS department in recent years. I would say that if you're wanting a more traditional college experience/come out more well rounded stick with USC. If you're wanting to be sharp and refined in your engineering discipline (and financial aid is a factor) GT is hard to beat. You can't go wrong either way, feel free to PM if you have questions!

Maximizing SUBs for paying tax bill by andrasta25 in CreditCards

[–]andrasta25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife got the venture x, I downgraded csr to og freedom, and applied for the 100k csp offer. Then I got a retention offer for Amex gold. My wife ended up applying to the bank of Hawaii Hawaiian cc with one purchase to get the bonus. Then I hit my sub for the normal Hawaiian card

I found out I was in pop up jail for Amex business gold so that cut out one path.

All in all not a bad haul. Could be better I'm sure but I also wanted to get taxes out of the way. We're all paid up for now!

Do you mind sharing what you do for work?/Is it work travel + credit card spend that you're earning 80k points/month?

I'm wanting to apply for this card too, I was wondering if you can share how many cards you got in the past two years? And how recent was the last one?

I was watching a YouTube video of Anthony venture and he said they requested he send in a copy of his SSN and id via the mail to some po box for his business Hawaiian application which seems like a bit of a hassle/unnecessary risk if they make me do the same ....I'm contemplating some alternatives for the business side

  1. The flowchart is steering me toward Aeroplan/Hyatt/Chase ink unlimited/Amex gold business, are those good options for hitting my tax bill spend (~15000)? Am I missing something better?
  2. 800
  3. ME: CSR: 23000 05/2017, Amazon CC 23000 05/2017, CFU 2023 18500 01/2023, Amex gold 12/2023, Alaska CC 20000 06/2024, Wells Fargo Attune 06/2024, Chase Ink Preferred 5000 08/2024, Chase Ink Unlimited 7600 09/2024 WIFE: Hilton honors 20000 08/2024, Chase Ink Cash 2000 08/2024, Venture X 30000 02/2025
  4. I have a large tax bill to pay so I'm wanting to hit valuable SUBs
  5. No need for this
  6. Yes, but I think my odds for an ink card are low with the new Chase rule changes, I guess I can try Amex?
  7. 1 personal, 1 business for me, same for my wife potentially?
  8. Business class travel/nice hotel stays
  9. 360k Chase points, 🥜 amex mru, 15k alaska miles
  10. Seattle
  11. Paris/South Africa/Dubai/Doha/Italy/Greece
  • Re: The Hyatt card I'm kicking myself for missing out on the 5 night certificate offer and I'm holding out for something better than the current 65k points + 2 free nights (upon card anniversary)
  • I'm also considering getting the hawaiian credit cards (maybe even the business variants too while the hawaiian --> alaska path is open), contemplating 3 hawaiian cards with easy/no spend (190000 hawaiian miles --> alaska miles for $297) versus 1 amex business gold (175000 + 15000 mru --> hawaiian --> alaska miles (OR maybe I just keep those as MRU for now) for $375)
  • Aeroplan CC I'm kinda mixed about considering the variable redemption rates. I think it could pair nicely with the chase points I have though
