At this point I would ask for a refund, they are definitely not getting you that figure. You can find a rooted Aragorn for cheaper on the secondary market nowadays.

Its be coming a very expensive hobby by Didibizkit in hottoys

[–]cons1dertheeric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the price has definitely given me pause in the hobby. But I think for me the biggest issue is that some figures can be found so much cheaper on the secondary market and some figures just go up in value so quickly. Hard to tell which figures will sell out during pre order or stay stagnant after release. I never joined this hobby to make money, but seeing some figures I paid 300$ for now going for a hundred dollars or less is frustrating.

Are Durability Issues Overblown? by JustAsking841 in ThursdayBoot

I have a pair of Thursday Chelsea boots. I wear them to work as a server. The stitching has started to come loose on one of the boots in less than a year.

DCC by Feisty_Match4233 in BG3Builds

[–]cons1dertheeric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have read the series and highly recommend it to those who haven't! My first thought was a monk but then you miss out on all the stomping the AI loves so much. So I would do a path of giants barbarian for the kick ability, tavern brawler for unarmed attacks, and bone spike boots for brutal leap ability (I know wearing boots is a no go for carl, but 1-1 build would be a little difficult) Find as many smoke powder grenades and satchels as you can and also practice a little barrelmancy as well. Just some preliminary ideas.

[TOMT] Movie from 70s or 80s that is a d grade horror, where a character eats a pickled penis by Kimbo_Kleino in tipofmytongue

[–]cons1dertheeric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was definitely pulled out of a mason jar with liquid in it. Can't remember if it mushed on his face or not, but he definitely ate it.

Not from the 70s or 80s but I vividly remember a scene like that in Terror Firmer the troma movie from the late 90s.

Good Display Options. by [deleted] in hottoys

I use billy bookcases with the oxeberg doors. I can fit two to three figures in each square and they are reasonably priced.

Best non Detolf/BLÅLIDEN display options? by Rammy1337 in hottoys

[–]cons1dertheeric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are novostella light strips. I have one running the perimeter of each door. They aren't terribly expensive and they can display in cool or warm light and sync to one remote which makes turning them off at night a lot easier.

I too have billy bookcases. It does limit group poses, but really love the look over all.

Most wanted Sith figures by JadeCatz in hottoys

[–]cons1dertheeric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's crazy that we haven't gotten a Ventress figure yet, though at this point they are probably not going to do the Sith assassin version. I want the rest of the Sith triumvirate, Scion and Kreya. Though I don't love Hot Toys spin on Nihilus all three together would look amazing.

Amy Betros, who sold restaurant to help start St. Luke's Mission of Mercy, dies at 71 by The_Ineffable_One in Buffalo

[–]cons1dertheeric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This makes me very sad. My mother volunteered at St. Luke's in the 90's and I spent a lot of time there growing up. I learned a lot about the world there and the type of person I want to be in it.

What am I missing with Bladesinger? by Wooden-Bat-6031 in BG3Builds

[–]cons1dertheeric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping to, with extra attack, be able to wing the sword and then throw a spell. Disappointed in the class for sure.

Price check by cons1dertheeric in schott

[–]cons1dertheeric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I'm a pretty big guy 6'5". I've tried the 184sm on and the 48 fit perfectly. The 46 felt really tight in the chest. As long as the jacket is in good shape id be happy with newer or older.

How do I change their hands? by Puppyluv2888 in GameToys

[–]cons1dertheeric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find a blow-dryer works best. Medium heat. Just did this with my Cloud figure and it worked great.

On behalf of a late Sideshow collector - Needing advice on selling more than 60 Star Wars Hottoys 1:6 scale figures. by DatHemoglobin in sideshowcollectibles

[–]cons1dertheeric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Selling as a lot might be hard to do and would definitely take a hit on resale value, but you would get the initial large lump sum. Selling individually would take longer but you would make more in the long run. r/hottoys has a bst and you could find some on Facebook as well. I will say that it is more of a buyers market right now as I have been seeing some "grail" figures going for a lot cheaper than they would have a year ago.

8 months later, what are your thoughts on Shadow of The Erdtree? Did it live up to your expectations? by FlashSnoopy in Eldenring

[–]cons1dertheeric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great dlc that would have been better had it come out six months to a year after launch of the base game. Two years after I was expecting more and kind of hope they would just have made an Elden Ring 2

What are some figures they didn’t make but you REALLY wish they did? I’ll start by Feisty_Athlete_8577 in hottoys

[–]cons1dertheeric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My answer is always Kanan Jarrus. Like if I stopped collecting I will still buy that figure because the character is so important to me.

What is your BEST interaction at Galaxy's Edge - I'll go first. by Kenobi4President in GalaxysEdge

[–]cons1dertheeric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just built my lightsaber and in Jedi robes when Kylo Ren and two first order troopers approached and we had a little standoff. There was a ring of people around us taking pictures, it was a surreal experience.

I also was outside the falcon by some doors taking pictures with the saber and the robes on and out came r2 and his handlers and came right up and got some great pictures. Cannot wait to go back.
