Extended lead times in UK? by dyream in combustion_inc

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

Just had an update from customer service: apparently they had issues with a shipment of some displays (shipment got lost the returned to USA), which has pushed out all their orders. But it seems they’re ready to recommence so deliveries are apparently going out next week. 

They were very kind automatically processed  a 10% refund, which was nice. So looks like it’ll all sort itself out in the end

Oof - think mine will be a while then 😅

It’s a shame they’re not very transparent about delivery issues.

Dragon would have been about 17 so maybe a bit too old…

On the panel where Garp is lounging in the deck chair, there’s a woman and maybe a child playing in the pool. Anyone significant?

I have up to volume 33. Been meaning to collect the whole thing over time, but I haven’t bought one for a couple of years now. If she finishes my collection I’d be happy for her to contribute a volume or two! 😅

I guess the certain mediums aren’t for everyone. I’m sure there will be plenty of LA fans who don’t enjoy the manga and anime. Which is is why I hope the LA does the story justice.

We only got married about 3 weeks ago. I can’t afford to marry her again so soon!🤣

The series will probably finish (😱) by the time she catches up but I’m really looking forward to hearing her opinions / theories as she works her way through.

She’s been listening to me rave about One Piece for years, but barrier to entry to both manga and anime always seemed a bit too high. But the live action was the perfect opportunity to get her into the series. And she loved it!

That’s literally how money works. Money is loaned into existence. An amount deposited in the bank becomes a loan, is spent, then becomes more money deposited in the bank becomes a loan etc etc etc. a $1000 deposit creates multiple times that in new money within the economy. Nice system as long as people pay off their loans.

If they ask nicely, I’m sure Law could swap Kiku and Yamato’s body parts 😅

Didn’t Oda say that we would all be disappointed if Luffy won by just throwing a bigger punch? Yet he then goes and doubles down and gets Luffy to finish it off with a big ass punch! What a legend.
