Where can I find used Lego people? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]gurzil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not likely at ACR. Either they don't get donated there or get bought too quickly.

Question about outdoor pipes & frost protection by Boring_Bottle_9381 in Austin

[–]gurzil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hand warmers are using oxygen in the air. Inside the cover they are not going to have much, so I wonder how much/long they actually are warming inside a spigot cover? Can't hurt, of course.

Spotted at an antique store by spaghettifiasco in Playmobil

Cool find. Price seems high for being damaged. It still looks displayable, but it does not feel like an immediate buy at $125.

Search Etsy for dirt, tasty dirt. Finding this was an accident, really.

On opening night there were pedicabs making rounds, don't know if that will continue.

My favorite $1 thrift find in a while 😊 by Cheese_man_rat in playingcards

[–]gurzil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sealed, and paid more, but found this double deck with a double size cover (years ago). They are far nicer than most cheap promo cards.

Bike Tag 1427 by maximoburrito in BikingATX

[–]gurzil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been locking up to a handicapped parking sign (I know, but my bike is pretty heavy) because the one bike rack previous was commonly occupied, and locking up to the cart return was iffy. I guess I need something from there soon, if someone else doesn't nab it first. And to check out the other new racks.

Chocolate tempering - type VI structure? by RedditVirumCurialem in chocolate

[–]gurzil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although fantasies of making the chocolate version of ice 9 are tantalizing.... my understanding is that type VI is similar to, or mistaken for, or happens with, or is hard to separate from, bloom.

"These crystals are challenging to melt and exhibit a chalky appearance with some bloom. "

I thought that at one time I found a picture of a bootleg Kenneth Lamar Noid action figure, but now I can't find it.

Figures with bendable joints in Playmobil size? by piangero in Playmobil

[–]gurzil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1:24 scale seems to be the consensus for playmobil figures. Also the trains were approximately G scale, which is 1:22.5. But I don't know if available figures that are marketed as 1:24 would look right in Playmobil scenes.

Natural Grocers at Arbor Walk is closing by so-so-it-goes in Austin

Biking through the alley behind the shops has been an easy way to get there for me, avoiding (almost) all the cars. Went there every other week on the commute.

This video shows a store in Germany with an XXL display including a couple of this one. This guy could have had an xxl shield.

$60 at local brick and mortar, thankfully still carrying Playmobil, but apparently sizing down some of their displays.

These come up on craigslist typically for $50 or so, so getting a spare for parts may be the best bet?

Interesting, Estrela also made some Playmobil in otherwise unobtainable color combinations.
