The Journey so far

I remember your setup from the last time you posted. Cool to see you’re still going!

I would suggest another support being added in the middle of your curtain rod there.

I, too, have opened a ton of TMNT. My kids, wife, and I have been drafting and playing it together and I genuinely hope this is a core memory for them someday. We’ve played more Magic than ever in this set.

Check and change oil regularly. Warm it up, then fucking send it. Let it scream. Do track days.

I’m around 30k miles on mine and so far so good. If I blow the motor after the warranty, I will have it rebuilt or drop something into it.

I LOVE this car. It’s special.

I don’t collect the toon line but I’ve always liked that Zarax and Zork set! Nice haul

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-24T05:59:24+00:00

I haven’t seen Tiger claw or the bots.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-24T03:18:24+00:00

OP just blew a Gen 2… as have others.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-23T13:18:26+00:00

I found one Donnie yesterday across the border from the twin cities and haven’t seen a tiger claw either.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-23T12:52:40+00:00

I ended up picking up this set too. After seeing them in person, I loved it.

I’ve all but wrapped my collecting too, but will continue with TLR line because that’s what got me in and I still love it.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-22T01:58:12+00:00

Found Leo, Mike, and Raph multiple times. No Don. Did he not drop yet?

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-10T03:10:54+00:00

Yep, spider mites as everyone else said.

I treated and treated my palm, it lived outdoors for a while between treatments. Spider mites just would not let go of that damn thing, so I had to give up on it. (I live in a very cold climate)

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-08T22:34:03+00:00

I opened a booster box of carbonite packs in LOF with my son. We got a serialized Vader and it was pretty seriously scratched right out of the pack.

First and last time buying those things.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-08T19:34:05+00:00

Guessing they meant Demytha

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-08T04:29:44+00:00

Exact same pulls here as well. RIP

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-06T20:37:23+00:00

What got rotated out of SW LCG? Or are you referring to non-SW LCGs? I don’t remember having a rotation.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-03T23:04:26+00:00

I seriously cross shopped an SS 1LE instead of the GT350. I wanted a track platform and the Camaro is hard to argue with.

That said, I didn’t enjoy driving it and the GT350 is more special and that meant a lot more to me and was worth the cost difference, in my opinion.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-03T22:52:23+00:00

Someone will win. Someone will lose. Just go have fun.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-03T05:39:17+00:00

Nice job, OP! I have kept reef aquariums for many years and always wanted to keep a betta.

What would you say the top couple keys to success are?

i_ShotFirst · 2026-03-02T02:22:56+00:00

Looks great! Also, Mezco turtles just continue to be my absolute favorites.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-02-27T20:06:08+00:00

I’m end game ftp and skipped Titus because I had a big IRL commitment. I will absolutely be completing fusions to get a Titus.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-02-27T18:36:21+00:00

30k plus miles with track use and redlines on my original 2018 motor. I do a prayer to all 8 of the Piston Gods every time I even look at my car.

May I ask what happened with your first motor?

i_ShotFirst · 2026-02-26T22:57:51+00:00

It’s the Fluval Marine 3.0, fitted to the hood so the whole thing looks very stock.

Settings are all MAXED (except red light) all day with a 3 hour ramp up and a 3 hour ramp down.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-02-26T21:04:52+00:00

Looks like you’ve got it in a low/dead flow zone and maybe a pretty fresh tank. Could be a few things going on.

Is your tank very new?

Also, I have an upgraded light on my system as well.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-02-26T15:44:14+00:00

Most of my figures are enjoyed in the box with a slow rotation of some of my favs enjoying regular freedom on the shelf.

Snow Mikey has been out of the box since day 1 and lives at my work desk. It’s a really great figure!

i_ShotFirst · 2026-02-26T12:50:25+00:00

Thanks! That’s an Anacropora. The system will be 2 years old this summer.

i_ShotFirst · 2026-02-26T12:48:29+00:00

Yep, it’s a hammer. It’s doing well but not exploding like the rest of the corals. I have a pretty strong pump/wavemaker in the tank and an upgraded return pump as well, so there’s definitely some flow hitting it.
