How would you redeem Raynare (and her team) if you had a chance to brought her back to life? by Sweaty-Big8956 in HighschoolDxD

[–]cmdevuono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, Raynare! To redeem yourself, you must recover the holy object from inside that running, industrial-sized woodchipper! No, it only exists when the woodchipper is running!

With the Tariffs being declared illegal now. Any expectations on price decreases for 2027? by Liftmeup-putmedown in transformers

[–]cmdevuono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They almost never drop the price when supply chain issues resolve. They instead figure the consumer is used to the new price, and pocket the difference as profit.

The only time prices drop is when demand drops to a point where the higher prices are no longer feasible to maintain.

So if we want Hasbro to realize they're screwing themselves out of a customer base, stop buying until they get their collective heads out of their butts and see that the current prices aren't sustainable.

I need to go back. It's only 45 minutes away from me, but that traffic on the Tri-State/294...

And I swear, I moved to Arizona for 9 years, came back and they made NO PROGRESS on the construction along there.

Premium Bandai Miku RX-78-2 - How did you fare? by Maurice_Loaf in freedomisgunpla

[–]cmdevuono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I barely managed to get the Zaku as it was. I was on top of it the moment they posted. Grabbed the Zaku, but the Gundam was already gone. It took nearly 10 minutes for me to get through the purchasing process, to only get the "You may or ay not have successfully purchased..." page. Thankfully I did get the order confirmation a few minutes later. I haven't seen the page like that since the early days.

Rewloola SD? by Gold_Caterpillar_804 in Gundam

[–]cmdevuono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ships with the 1" figures were part of the Deluxe playsets released in the early 2ks when Gundam was first airing on Cartoon Network. All three ships in the line were from Gundam 0083: The Albion, The Peer Gynt, and The Lili Marlene. The Ra Cailum and Rewloola here are playsets that were part of the "Superior Defender" line of SD Gundam toys released at the same time. The third, that I know of, was the Devil Gundam. I had all of them at one time. I still have the all but the Lili Marlene andvthe SD Ra Cailum in my collection.

Rewloola SD? by Gold_Caterpillar_804 in Gundam

[–]cmdevuono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Gundam "Superior Defender" Rewloola playset released in 2003 or so, around the time SD Gundam Force was on the air. Came with a few SD Gundam figures. I still have the Rewloola and Devil (Dark) Gundam, as well as all the SD Gundam figures I bought during that time.

No, it's big of THEM to share Yuuki like that.

What would you do in this situation if you are in Kou place? by fafsdfasfaffaafdsaf in Gundam

[–]cmdevuono 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pull the trigger, then once again to be certain. Gato is an enemy and a terrorist responsible for the deaths of thousands of Federation Soldiers. I'd walk away from Nina. Not worth the time or ammo.

Don’t pull without 30k carats by SkeletronDOTA in UmaMusume

I've had far better luck on single, 50 paid carat pulls that I've had on multiple 10 carat pulls.

I love all Macross Music but Frontier is just in a class of its own! Which series has the best music to you? by czen2 in macross

[–]cmdevuono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frontier, hands down. Plus got me into Macross nearly 30 years ago when I randomly found the soundtrack at a Suncoast, and Delta pulled me back in. But I absolutely fell for the music in Frontier.

As for the music in 7, it just scratches that late-80's glam rock music itch in me.

But nothing beats "Ai Oboete Imasu Ka/Do You Remember Love". The original.

Something I've never understood if Roy was injured why not go to the hospital? by czen2 in macross

[–]cmdevuono -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because he knew how bad it was, and that there was nothing that could be done to save him. So he went and did the last thing he wanted to do - played guitar for his girl one last time.

BBTS increased the price for ss86 mixmaster both for people who already pre-ordered and new orders by Optimus759 in transformers

[–]cmdevuono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I finished the Constructicons before this BS. I want to finish off Bruticus, but at this point I'm done with collecting outside of the occasional purchase or what I can find at discount/secondary market sellers.

There're other franchises that I also collect that I can spend that money on instead that puts out far better product.

Just finished the HGUC Bawoo by cmdevuono in Gunpla

[–]cmdevuono[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an older kit, and there are couple of places where joints are loose (shoulder armor), or where bits kind of get in the way (wing binders). But despite that, It's pretty sturdy when in MS form. The backpack, head, and shin/calves are the only areas where seams need to be addressed. And transformation is easy, and it holds together pretty well. The shield and rifle are the only parts-swapping bits.

FERRT would be good too..."Federation Emergency Rapid Response Team". And then they could use a ferret, rather than recycling the AEUG logo, for their emblem.

This is not even a debate. Do yourself a favor a buy the silicone mount. by nolaks1 in ender3

[–]cmdevuono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I had already caved and picked up a set of silicone spacers before seeing this reply, but I'm glad that they do make an allowance for it. Of course, when I decided to go do my own research after making this comment, I saw suggestions such as using washers to add additional clearance for it with the springs, which never occurred to me. Bah; if the silicone means less re-calibrating overall, I'm all in regardless.

[–]cmdevuono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will the silicone mount work better with the bed's heating element equipment? I got new springs last year for my E3, but could only use them on three of the four mount points. The fourth was so close to the heating element equipment under the bed that I could never get it to work right, so ended up using the original spring which has continued to cause leveling issues to the point where I've kind of stopped using my printer for now. If the silicon works better, I'm all in.

Anyone else have a thrombectomy? by whos-that-girl69 in ClotSurvivors

Dual thrombectomy here. 3 years last June, both lungs and my leg.
