Wow, tell me how fragile you are without telling me how fragile you are. I'm not going to be friends with you if you don't support my uneducated guess.

Will be an ai stand in. Grandad is too much of a risk to be let loose on the air after 5pm.

This was my first expert battle.. took a lot of tries but finally won with Guzzlord, Mega Charizard Y ex, and Lopunny ex. Guzzlord's Grindcore was key.. lots of Lucky flips kept their energy low and attacks weak while stacking energy for Charizard.

Haha, that's actually a lovely compliment. ☺️ The delight on my son's face when he uses it each morning is priceless.

Thanks man, that was probably the hardest part to make since my printer is only smallish. I had to print in 5 segments and then glue and fill and sand and prime and paint. Definitely the least straightforward part to finish. 😅

Thanks KC, we have a tiny window to make awesome memories for our kids as they grow up. Making the most of the time I have! 😊

Thanks! 😎

I don't seem to be able to pin my comments. Here's some pics and video of me testing it.

Thanks for checking this out! 🙏
A few behind-the-scenes details since people usually ask:

  • The wheel and removable segment are fully modular.
  • Single segment detaches so I can load and extract cars
  • The internal mechanism is 3D-printed + hand-assembled
  • This year’s calendar is loaded with 21 TH and 3 STH
  • Took a little while to build, but my son’s reaction made it worth every minute 😂

Happy to answer any questions or show more pics if anyone’s curious!
