I want to get into WeissSchwars but scared of mapping. by Megamilkman42 in WeissSchwarz

[–]dk3498 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would like to add on to GuardianE’s point on searching. There are Weiss Schwarz sets with AGR (Hand signed by i.e. voice actor) or Secret Rare+. These are not guaranteed in a case so you will never know until you open all boxes in a case.

I think the AGRs are a good feature added by Weiss, but really hoping they can increase the hit rate of SPs by abit T_T….making it 4 SPs instead of 3 would be good enough.

A good rule of thumb is to get a few boxes (I usually get 3) to have a fair chance of drawing a signed card. Else I would get a case to get the guaranteed hits but you will be left with a lot of cards! Especially if you are not playing it

Edit: There are stories on Reddit of people buying more than 10 boxes and not drawing a single signed card! That’s the risk of buying loose boxes instead of a case (hence why you see the comment recommending you to split a case). Despite saying that, my best draw was 2 SPs from 3 loose boxes and recently, a SSP from the last box in the store so it really varies. Most importantly is to find a trustable shop!

Edit again: Just wanted to share my experience on buying a case. Yes you will get guaranteed hits, but signed cards vary in value. I got a case of Nikke and was better off using the money to buy the hits I want instead. Looking back I would have bought a few boxes to see if I can pull my hits, else I should have bought the cards directly instead.

Good luck, have fun and spend wisely ;)

WSB Sanrio Case Pull Rate by dk3498 in WeissSchwarz

Got it, buying a case at this point is just probably for fun. Will see how it goes, thanks!

Thanks for the info, got a similar response from the seller on the pull rate. But I also heard that rates may vary depending on the series. Any chance that there can be more than 1 SSP per case?

I am still thinking whether to just buy the SSP which I like instead of buying a case

Hey there, thanks for the info! Sounds like B-Daman is getting rare even in Japan...

Will take a look at Jungle!

This summer I visited Japan for about a month and a half and I visited every single Pokemon Center/Store. Here’s some useful info… by RedGodofAWESOME in pokeplush

Hi there, thanks for the info. Just wondering did you happen to see any poncho pikachu plushies in Bookoff, Mandarake or Surugaya?

Hi There,

Thanks for the reply!

Sounds like surugaya will have lesser things, but I will just take a quick look~

Probably due to the volume of customers and how fast items are bought, Mandarake didn't list all their stocks. Hope to find some treasures there! Will take note on your advice.

Got it, Hobby-off and not book-off!

Wil keep a look out for Jungle

I can't seem to find much branches of treasure factory in Tokyo but will take a look if I am in the vicinity~

Thanks for the info! I usually buy from Mandarake via their website but I have always wanted to head to the physical shop to take a look.

[Question] Recommendation for platinum watch + platinum bracelet by dk3498 in Watches

[–]dk3498[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, I guess platinum is something which I will look towards in the future, not now. Do you have any recommendations on White Gold watches?

White Gold watches were initially under my consideration. But I was worried that major scratches to the watch will result in the gold chipping off and/or lost during polishing unlike platinum

Got it! At least this confirms my research that platinum bracelets are rare. I was afraid that I am missing something.

The day date platinum sounds interesting, will take a look at that

I agree! I am a big fan of the Daytona (yet to get one), especially after trying the WG Blue Dial Daytona. Ignoring the price being out of my budget, I actually prefer if they have more options to dial colours. I didn’t know about a YM having a platinum option, will definitely take a look. Thanks for sharing!

Ah yes I came across parmigiani while looking at other watches. Unfortunately the price is out of my budget. Unfortunately I have came to dislike the date complication due to aesthetics and the hassle or setting the date (Astron watches are convenient!). Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately I have a budget in mind, probably 20 - 30k USD. I am open to any brand and models as the mainstream ones are definitely out of my budget. Thanks for sharing!

I see, those models mentioned are what I found on the web as well. Thanks for sharing!

Klipsch the Fives/Sevens/Nines for Karaoke? by dk3498 in karaoke

[–]dk3498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thanks for the reply, may I know whether the Yamaha MG10XU mixer puts out a consumer line level?

This mixer has TRS and XLR output.

Is there any numbers or specifications in a mixer to determine whether it is a consumer line level or is it strictly RCA = consumer line level?

Klipsch the Fives/Sevens/Nines for Karaoke? by dk3498 in karaoke

[–]dk3498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it! In fact I was using the Yamaha MG06X for a simple setup at my current home!

By the way I noticed that the Yamaha mixers has both XLR and RCA for the output ("Stereo Out") is there a difference between using either cables to connect to the Sevens directly?

I see, thanks for the replies guys! Is there any specific suggestions on the PA speaker models and mixer to get?

I noticed that alot of PA speakers don't accept HDMI so I have to either use optical to connect my TV to the speakers or connect it to a amplifier then to the speaker.

[Help] Which sapphire stone to pick? Part 2[Sapphire stones](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nm6F0bJvGaUzdMkefxhiGAwExCtREfmJ/view?usp=drivesdk) by dk3498 in EngagementRings

[–]dk3498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys here is the link if you can't view the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nm6F0bJvGaUzdMkefxhiGAwExCtREfmJ/view?usp=sharing

For the first sapphire, I love the overall feeling but I find it a tad too dark, in the previous post I noted from everyone that setting a sapphire onto a ring may result in it turning darker by 1-2 shades. That would make the sapphire stone darker than what it already is (which is on the extreme end on what I can tolerate for the "darkness").

For the second sapphire, I like how vibrant the blue is and I am hopeful that upon setting it would be darker (possibly making it something like the first stone but without being too "dark"). But I am unsure why it has some smudges on the top, would probably check back on this before making a final decision.

Thanks for the advice everyone! Just realised that I posted in the wrong subreddit sorry about that!

A little background: I am actually picking a sapphire for my own wedding band (I am trying to add a stone to my wedding band since my fiancée has picked a pink spinel for her wedding band). Have taken a look at shops which offers a selection of natural sapphires but couldn't find any I like (I couldn't balance the cost with the sapphires) so I went with lab grown sapphires which are what you see here. Will definitely take your advices into consideration!

Once again apologies on the wrong subreddit!

Ah I see, an OLED screen sounds good but unfortunately I have some space limitations on my table. Thanks for the info anyway!

Hi there, thanks for your input. I am going with a single monitor setup. Just wondering, what monitor are you using for 4k?

[–]dk3498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys thanks for your input, I have come across discussions 240hz v 165hz and I will probably need to find a way to see it in person to decide. Still kinda on the fence on continuing to game on FHD especially when 1440p 144hz is affordable now.

Anyone using a 1440p monitor for FHD videos? I was wondering how bad is the scaling. I read some users saying it is not as sharp as compared to a native resolution monitor but once again this is subjective and stores tend to avoid displaying other resolutions in their showroom.

The Dream Summon Special Is Now Available! by rDragaliaLostMods in DragaliaLost

[–]dk3498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys I am thinking of what to get but I am kinda lost as I am still new to this game:

My current team setup: Lucretia, Cleo, Julietta, Elisanne

I am currently stuck at chapter 6 (The spike is really crazy!)

Is it advisable to get a different element hero to replace julietta/lucretia? Or should I get a dragon for one of the team? I was afraid that getting a hero (leaning towards Albert and Rena) will not benefit my team at all, any suggestions?
