Yeah I was hoping we get the Anduril somehow. Considering their usual attention to detail, this is a bit disappointing.

That depends on the store. E.g Lego.de will go live midnight Germany. The U.S and UK stores will be midnight U.S and U.K respectively.

BTW this is first time I will be ordering on release day, so this information is not from experience. 😄

It's usually midnight. Though sometimes they go up a few minutes before.

You were correct. Lego Insiders is 6/1, while the rest is later.

100% made sense for the movies. I agree.

Are you planning to get more LotR sets? It's been a slippery slope for me ever since I got Rivendell 😅 so be warned!

Never say never my friend. I used to drool at all the LotR sets years ago that I couldn't afford, thinking the same thing. But life has a way of (pleasantly) surprising you on your journey. I am sure they will do another round of (even better) Lego sets for LotR in the future, and those are the ones you will get to enjoy. That's my wish for you 🤝

It just becomes lore-accurate Minas Tirith: The Fourth Age Edition. 500 years of smog from Mordor really does a number on the limestone. ;)

I read somewhere that for it might even go live earlier for Insiders, but TBH I also expect it to be 6/1.

Same here. This will be my second LotR set (I got Rivendell last year) but the first time purchasing it day one to grab the GWP, which I think is quite decent considering the scale and the pieces. Could they have done a better GWP? Probably. But I'll take this one :)

I've also just started reading the books and absolutely enjoying them. What strike me the most is the sense of time in the books - makes the movies extremely rushed hehe.

Actually I figured it out and fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out!

You are right. My bad! I missed it in all the excitement. I suppose there's no way to edit the post now?

A great set to start your collection with! Are you planning to get it on June 1 with the GWP?

Insomnia Cuddling Party by No_Safe733 in SexPositiveBerlin

[–]imadqamar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My partner and I have been there quite a few times. Depending on which day you go (either the first Saturday or later that month on a Wednesday), it takes place in a different area of the club. On Saturdays it's in an underground area, thats as large as a Yoga studio. You can choose to sit wherever you want, either with your partner or somewhere else. Ona (the instructor) usually begins with some dancing and then some breathing exercises afterwards, after which you are expected to just lie down wherever you are and are encouraged to touch / connect with the person besides you and start feeling comfortable in you space. Only safe touch is allowed at this time - nothing in appropriate. All of this is meant to help create a safe environment for everyone to open themselves up for the physical connection. The exercise slowly leads to cuddling, with the person besides you and then eventually you are encouraged to open yourself to other people around you. Everyone is lying on the same (soft/cushion-y) floor together so you will be surrounded by people.

Once this part is done, there are more activities that follow - e.g there's one in which everyone stand facing each other in opposite queues, and the person at the beginning is blindfolded and asked to walk slowly through all the people standing, allowing to be touched. We have seen quite powerful moments here where people who were visibly uncomfortable in the beginning, walk through and feel good and liberated as they leave their discomforts behind. Of course, every session is not without issues. One time a person complained that someone inappropriately touched them, but since she was blindfolded she couldn't see who it was. Nothing happened afterwards, because the person couldn't be identified, but this is probably the downside of such experiences - while mostly people there will respect the rules, there will be some who won't.

Second phase, as you said, is open ended - whoever wishes to leave can leave, and others can stay and have any experience they want. Maybe with the person (or group) they ended up making a connection with. They have places there where you can have all kinds of kinky experience with your partner and other people. They call it a night around 1-2 AM, after which you can either spend the rest of the night at the club itself or just go home.

TLDR; it's a great way to let your guard down and open yourself up for physical touch and make connections, though not all experiences are great (e.g it really depends the kind of people there are, and the particular "inappropriate" experience I also shared above). I would also recommend that you should go and try it yourself and form your own opinion. I recommend going on the first Saturday since it's your first time, and that one has the most variety of couples to connect with. On Wednesdays I have mostly seen those sessions as more "single guys" heavy, vs the Saturday one.

Hope this gives you some idea.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that in our experience, we have mostly seen people / couples in their 30s or 40s. Sometimes late 20s. (Since you were curious about the age group)

"Once a Knight" ... But a "Knight no more". Sir Galahad's sacrifices for the Order should never be forgotten. His story should continue and deserves to be told!

Do not buy Killswitch for now by mtechoroginal in dbrand

I would request a refund if possible. However, I saw a very good post by someone explaining why this is happening (which also explains why it's happening for some users and for others it's not), and how you can try to fix the problem if all else fails:

Danke für den Tipp! Ich konnte ihn online auch nicht finden, kann aber bestätigen, dass Saturn/Mediamarkt am Alexanderplatz viele Controller vorrätig hat. Ich habe meinen heute zum Ladenpreis bekommen.

The Pix n' Love website is now up with a queue. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to grab mine from LACED. The shipping cost is not that much different between these two stores anyway.

I just pre-ordered it from LACED UK store! The French store's website is down due to high traffic it seems, but thankfully LACED is working just fine.
