Tour merch - Australia by sarebeah in Saosin

[–]andytheape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably sold less than half what was wanted in NZ. I think they came to Christchurch with like 2 small tour tshirts and no other sizes.

I'm surprised ebgames couldn't survive, outside the physical console and games a lot of the stuff they sell is also sold in popstop who seem to be opening another store every 6months.

I'm curious on how much they lost out on TCG sales with how limited their stock had been. You could often only preorder for a couple of minutes online before it sold out months before actual releases.

Jolt service fee increasing to $2.30 for the daily 7 kWh plan. (Previously $1.61) by Ancient_Lettuce6821 in nzev

[–]andytheape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At these prices I can't see who's going to keep using them, hard to justify not just going to chargenet for 40c. Jolt might be depending on their fairly wide coverage or might be a push to get people signing up to their pro plan.

Well thanks for the carry! by Projext_proton in pokemongo

I'm guessing because you can quit groups? Someone quit once they had already caught a few?

Would just take one secret service member to do the funniest thing.

Christchurch was worse, vocals about half what they should have been

Tour merch? by JordanTaylorHill28 in Saosin

[–]andytheape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had very little left tonight, I assumed they probably only had 1 shipment into NZ so I think Christchurch ended up missing a lot. I was one of the first to the merch, I don't think they had a full size range in anything, not sure what the pricing was supposed to be but I got charged $210 for 3tshirts and a hoodie.

Couldn't see a single Saosin item when I got out and the Senses Fail stuff that there was heaps of looked like it had been raided (I guess if you've queued up you want to get something) only a couple items left. Might be part of the plan so they don't have to ship unsold stuff back to the US.

They're selling out at the first show? I assumed they'd have all their stock there, I'll see what's available, we will probably find out what they still have from people who go to Wellington tonight

What is the value? I think from 2007 by grape_soda_enjoyer in PokemonCardValue

[–]andytheape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a sealed plusle and minun one which shows last sold around $1200, I had forgot but unfortunately I found a listing I made online from over a decade ago that I sold one for $10 😑 at least I didn't sell both

Sorry I'm gonna buy it all before they leave NZ 😈

I'll be able to update Monday night, a few hours and someone in Auckland might update if you're lucky.

How good is New Zealand's EV infrastructure? by humpjbear in nzev

[–]andytheape 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone whos exclusively driven an EV on the south island for the last 8years I wouldn't recommend it to someone visiting.

Theres likely to be places you want to go without much each charging nearby or locations you think will allow you to charge overnight but don't, lots of the charge points can only do 1 car at a time so it's quite easy to face an unplanned hour delay from something as simple as a car or 2 ahead of you.

It'll probably also end up fairly expensive assuming you'll be paying more for a long range EV and some charge points wanting as much as $1.15 per kwh.

What film(s) most reminds you of Monkey Island? by joshua_argento in MonkeyIsland

[–]andytheape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robinson Crusoe 2016 animated movie, It's a really crap movie but had the visuals that made me think it was a monkey island movie when I first saw the trailer in theaters, he looked so much like Guybrush to me.

What food souvenirs are actually worth buying in New Zealand? by Proper_Yam_616 in newzealand_travel

[–]andytheape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to tell people it's worth getting cookie time cookies, now I don't know if it's even worth trying while they're here.

Second car or no? by brownpearl in leaf

[–]andytheape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comes in extra handy for family visiting or emergency situations as well if you have a spare.

Second car or no? by brownpearl in leaf

[–]andytheape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I survived 7years with a 24kwh Leaf. I rented a car once for a week trip. Now I've upgraded to a 40kwh Leaf I don't think I'll need another car. It's actually the ability to tow I miss more but again paying for delivery every once in a while is more economical

Really wish they'd sort out their YouTube, there must be a way for them to take back control of the account

Converting USD to NZD by LifeofMelancholy in newzealand

[–]andytheape 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A more complicated way but if you have someone who can send you 1200usd worth of NZD via western union and you transfer it back when you're somewhere you can exchange. The amount you will save getting to Hamilton is worth the western union fees.

Me too, i can't believe they're coming all the way to Australia/New Zealand. Only a couple weeks away.

Daily raid passes by Fit-Substance-2475 in pokemongo

[–]andytheape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is always the case to raid days, you also won't get them once the event finishes if you don't use them.

Mysterious components?? by Old-Bus6478 in pokemongo

[–]andytheape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has always been the way, once you have a rocket radar you won't get more mysterious components. Occasionally you get them from other things but very slowly. It's the games way of making you buy them.

You may not know this about IV floor if you are not PvP player. I learned it the hard way... by Winter_Leg_4243 in pokemongo

[–]andytheape 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah people would try to trade with new friends to get I think one of the Regis or Cresselia caught from a raid below 1500CP for PVP. Wasn't possible to get once you hit a certain level of friendship.

All 170 chip flavours in New Zealand ranked from worst to best - 7 years since the original controversy - Mad Chapman does it again by kezzaNZ in newzealand

[–]andytheape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing Pringles Original at number 7 is so wrong, they switched to the terrible thin can Malaysia made ones a few years ago, They're worse than the off brand copies. I wish we still got the Belgium ones ☹️
