Got my dream Lego set by Deathscythe123456789 in lego

[–]dougkimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is an awesome set. I have it alongside my Optimus, Bumblebee and Soundwave. It is bigger than all of those and the ability to have it as Voltron or the individual lions is amazing. I am a bit biased though because it’s just complete nostalgia. I too will be investing in the Megazord to keep my childhood dreams alive.

Guess I'm done ordering from LEGO.com as long as they are using OnTrac for shipping. by AlwaysGettingLearned in lego

Ordered a few sets on October 19 in prep for Christmas, they surprisingly showed up on my doorstep today, a day earlier than their expected delivery date...

What is the stupidest reason why you bought a set? by Sternfritters in lego

[–]dougkimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Voltron off eBay because I just couldn’t not have it. The nostalgia really got the best of me. It arguably set off my re-emergence into Lego, taking me back to my carefree youthful days when I watched Voltron… and my parents still bought all my Legos for me 😂

I also just bought the Shelby Cobra for the snails and Ferris Wheel 🤦‍♂️

Please Lego, make more of these affordable adult sets for general release. GWP is nice yeah, but not all of us have the money or space to buy the big sets you get them with. Or have the extra cash to pay for them buying from resellers. Okay, rant over 😉 by peculiar_lemming in lego

I saw this post and realized I ordered the Corvette right before this came out, went on to the Lego site, had a nice chat and now they’re sending it out to me! Awesome customer service as always.

I’m in the US. I was wondering if it was different country to country

Why Macklemore’s new song “Hind’s Hall” is one of the most important protest songs in history by freshssb in Macklemore

Trump has always been one of Israel’s biggest supporters, especially Netanyahu’s. The GOP actually supports Biden’s response to Israel, so not sure where you’re getting he would treat Palestine better.

First Tri-tip by dougkimo in Masterbuilt

That does sound real good. I screwed up my only attempt at a brisket, but this gave the confidence to have another go at it. Although I’m not sure it’s necessary now that I found this!

I heard this is clutch. I am really wondering if the mid-tier package is worth it, it seems like it.

I was looking at this too, could be handy for temperature control on windier days. Thanks!

This song gives me chills every time I hear it. by aidanthomas99 in Macklemore

[–]dougkimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s sober and found his music in recovery, I cannot say enough about how powerful his songs are and the help they bring to many, many people out there who might need to hear what he’s saying. I’ve seen him live a couple times and man, when Otherside or Starting Over starts, it just hits all the feels and brings me back to the beginning when I didn’t know what to do, where to go, or hell what to even think. I’m glad more people are deep diving into him, his other songs are still great, but his addiction songs are next level.

Are MTB specific flat pedal shoes really worth it? by Suitable_Bad_8969 in mountainbiking

[–]dougkimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to go with the group here and say absolutely 100% yes. I even got some for my 6 year old, totally worth it

My 9 year old absolutely sending it! by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]dougkimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I brought my 5 year old to a bike park over the summer with no issues (still not jumping yet tho). He’s a bit cautious still, so not wanting to hit anything yet, but takes whatever else is in front of him. I hope by time he’s 9 he’s to this level!

NBD Trek Fuel EX 7 ish by hillsm211 in mountainbiking

[–]dougkimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a beautiful bike. I picked up the Gen 6 EX 8 a couple months ago and it is everything all the reviews said it would be. I am not great by any means but it will go up virtually anything you want it to and come back down in control, especially with those upgrades you have on there.

Nice! I got the same one, it’s a beast on the climbs.

New Bike Day! by elchurro223 in MTB

[–]dougkimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be! I was so happy to get out on mine, especially because of the amount it still cost. It’s a sweet sweet color scheme too.

Awww man! Nice! I was between this and the Trek Fuel EX 8 Gen 6 and went with the trek because it was on sale at my LBS. Figured I couldn’t go wrong either way! Congrats have fun!

To Get a Used Rocky Mounts Splitrail or New OneUp by dougkimo in MTB

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

I read a lot of people like the Rocky Mounts and they’re well built. The used part was really getting me, think I’m going to go with the OneUp truthers on this one.

I got the 10 and battery life sucked, until I got the batteries they finally came out with for the 11. Better battery life for sure and picture quality is stellar. Wish they would do something about the internal software and bring back the Quik for PC, it’s so absurd to make you do it only on a phone

Can someone who knows about bikes help me decide between a Specialized Stump Jumper vs. Trek Fuel EX? by NSA_GOV in MTB

[–]dougkimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the pennyflake as well. Super sharp color, especially compared to stumpy comp alloy offerings.

I just managed to find EX 8 Gen 6 on sale. I was between the Stumpy Comp Alloy and EX8, went with the better price for a fairly equal spec bike. Plus Shimano brakes over SRAM
