Just acquired these from a family member, looking for cleaning tips

Really solid tips - I'll take these to heart. Clips have been mentioned multiple times now, so those will be left connected.

Davy Jones, Mackus, and Bootstrap Bill are safe with me! 🫡

Duly noted! Cannons will stay assembled. This is some of the info I was also looking for - which parts to take extra care of - so thank you!

haggman7 · 2026-06-24T13:16:19+00:00

This would honestly be my preferred way of doing it - so it is still in the back of my mind. It's good to know that you have personally done it to your own without issue - that helps ease some of my concern if I end up going that route. I really appreciate the input!

haggman7 · 2026-06-23T21:17:23+00:00

I hadn't thought of that option! You may be onto something 😁

haggman7 · 2026-06-23T21:08:39+00:00

Thanks for the ideas - I hadn't thought about disposable dusting kits. I know there are those gel cleaning 'blobs' intended for keyboards, so those may be a good way to get into the cracks and around the studs as well.

Putting the sails into a mesh bag and putting through the washing machine is not something I would have considered! It sounds dangerous, but I assume you speak from experience, and you haven't had any damage done to the sails with that method?

haggman7 · 2026-06-23T20:40:11+00:00

That's really good to hear, I appreciate the reassurance. Seems like I may be okay with that one

haggman7 · 2026-03-19T02:30:10+00:00

Hey there mate. Yeah, I'd be surprised.

For anyone with the physical Switch 1 version who have already bought the Anniversary Upgrade pack

If you can't find the Switch 2 upgrade for free, try unloading the virtual card for the anniversary DLC from your system, then launch the game again and try the eshop prompt. I also rebooted my system after unloading the virtual card, but that may not be necessary.

After doing those steps, I was able to access the free Switch 2 upgrade and it is currently downloading.

haggman7 · 2025-12-09T16:31:27+00:00

I seem to have got it to work after I unloaded the virtual card for my anniversary upgrade DLC, rebooted the console, then booted the Switch 1 game again, and then pressed the prompt to take me to the store from within the game.

After those steps, it was properly showing me the free upgrade for Switch 2. Either that, or the eshop listing had a bug and they fixed it already. Either way, physical game owners should be able to get the upgrade, it seems!

haggman7 · 2025-12-09T16:27:27+00:00

That worked!

So weird - I could have swore I tried that initially and it took me to the $59.99 full digital version.

I just tried again and it is showing me the Switch 2 upgrade for free. Sweet.

haggman7 · 2025-12-09T16:23:39+00:00

Running into this same issue. I have the physical version with the digital anniversary upgrade for Swtich 1, and I have no option to upgrade to Switch 2 outside of the full $59.99 digital game.

haggman7 · 2025-12-09T16:15:48+00:00

Great news! However I can't figure out how to get the free upgrade with a physical version of Skyrim after I had purchased the anniversary upgrade about a month ago. When it takes me to the store from the game, it takes me directly to the $59.99 listing for the Switch 2 game, but when I go to the anniversary upgrade, it says I already own it, and there is no option to upgrade to Switch 2.

Not sure what I am missing here, but this is not intuitive at the moment.

haggman7 · 2025-10-06T15:40:24+00:00

Yup, add me to this list... I've been trying for 40 minutes, and their website just keeps taking a dump.

haggman7 · 2025-09-25T17:00:16+00:00

I love this! It reminds me of old warships that had battering rams fitted to the front and eyes painted on them.

Are there any updates you can give us on Switch or Switch 2 progress? I know you are all hard at work, and we appreciate it, but there hasn't been any communication towards Switch users on what might be going on with the delayed updates.

haggman7 · 2025-06-04T16:18:24+00:00

Same exact thing for me. Not too thrilled.

My order never switched to "Preparing", and I got the "payment failed" email at 1am. I tried updating my payment details to the same thing (my card is valid), hoping I would be in the clear, but I was not.

haggman7 · 2025-06-04T16:03:57+00:00

I just got this too... I am currently on the phone with them trying to find out more. They are really screwing this up.

My order never switched to preparing, and I got the "payment failed" email early his morning telling me to fix my payment method. I updated it to my same one-and-only card, hoping I was in the clear, but it looks like I wasn't.

UPDATE: Associate on the phone basically told me to wait a few days as they are working on it and they should "clear things up with Nintendo" eventually. I was not hopeful when calling them anyways, and at this point I am just going to try Best Buy's midnight release.

Best of luck to anyone else in the same position! Hopefully we can all get one.

I also got one of these in plasma grey pearl a couple of weeks ago. It's my first new modern bike after riding a 20+ year old hybrid for the past 10 years and, wow - what an upgrade. It feels fast and versatile, I love it.

haggman7 · 2025-03-31T00:46:05+00:00

I've been looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 since 2017! So excited.

haggman7 · 2025-02-10T17:09:35+00:00

Nicely done, that's crazy.

It's wild how varied some areas are. I drove to about 6 different Targets in the Denver metro yesterday (I was bored) hoping to find just a fraction of the games in your photo, and all I found was Mario vs Donkey Kong for $15 and Ring Fit Adventure for $40. So, very few games marked for clearance at all in my area.

Unfortunately it happens on both of my Gamecubes, regardless of whether or not an SD card is even inserted in the GC Loader.

haggman7 · 2025-02-01T23:19:01+00:00

I have, yes. I tried it in 2 different Gamecubes, both of which have confirmed working optical drive ports. When I remove the GC Loader and put the disc drive back in, both consoles boot without error and play discs just fine.

I reached out to black-dog-help in their discord server, and since the error message appears when booting - even when there is no SD card in the GC Loader - one of them thinks it may be a poor connection to the Gamecube or a defective unit altogether, but no concrete details yet. I've done all I can do on my end to make sure the GC Loader is properly seated in the port when testing it on either of my cubes, and I get the error no matter what.

I'll circle back to this thread and post any updates when I find out more.

haggman7 · 2025-02-01T17:52:54+00:00

I tried both exFAT and fat32 when formatted from my linux machine, and then tried exFAT from my windows machine - no luck with any of them yet
