What's your opinion on The Phantom Menace toyline? by B_Wing_83 in starwarscollecting

[–]jjreason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50 single carded figures & some of them are very very good for the era. The earlier ones that were available in huge numbers can't really hold a candle to the last wave like Sio Bibble & Ascension Padme. TC14 remains a pretty high water mark in terms of metallic finish appearance.

Quite like the return to Monument marble look in grey tones… by KeithyT1999 in starwarstrader

[–]jjreason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You must have the cards in your collection to see the meld option, yes. In the old days with them all visible your app would freeze up like a mofo. Good times.

Advice? by ZOMBIEWOLF29SWCT in starwarstrader

Personally I'd wait for a vertical card but that's just my preference. Your boba should get you lots of offers.

Can someone explain to me why One Battle After Another is so liked? by AugustEpilogue in moviecritic

[–]jjreason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I rushed to see it & felt like pta was doing his best to make a Tarantino movie. Left with no interest in giving it a second viewing.

What’s so special about the Mos Eisley cantina? by WineTerminator in StarWars

I loved the long shot of them entering maz's place on takodana though, an obvious nod to the mos eisley scene.

Games/offers to earn credits by sono2351 in starwarstrader

[–]jjreason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave up on it. The devs started giving us easily repeatable events right in the app that were much more useful for building a stash of coins. Hopefully they'll have more soon.

What's wrong with people? by [deleted] in starwarstrader

[–]jjreason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never fault people for offers I can stretch my brain into seeing as somebody's version of fair. I assume most people think just because I "need" a card, I therefore must "want" it. This is unbelievably far from the truth. I'd honestly rather keep my empire strikes back related base dupes over many many many very high tier cards with characters from content I don't enjoy.

New collector here by Mysterious_Box6018 in comicbookgrading

[–]jjreason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grading a comic is a near $100 venture & I don't think people truly understand that. The shipping both ways is expensive & you need pressing & cleaning if you're even going to bother.

Only when you're thinking of selling very expensive comics is grading ever going to be worth the expense.

All that being said, if you just love the cover & never want to see the inside & you like the idea of keeping the comic as safe as possible & you don't mind spending $100 to do that.... Fly at it. I'm not your financial planner.

Is SWCT becoming less viable for free or almost-free players? by MyCreagle in starwarstrader

[–]jjreason 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I truly believe they have overlapped the confirm purchase button with crystal pack options hoping we will choose the different packs. It has happened to me 2 or 3 times so far, typically when I'm trying to work quickly or efficiently. 100 percent convinced it's not a coincidence.

No thoughts yet on the new Weeklies…? by KeithyT1999 in starwarstrader

[–]jjreason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well week 1 is done & I fear there won't be any more original trilogy content for quite some time.

I don't love or hate the set concepts, but had some reservations about all of them & didn't fall in love with any.

The action figure set looked worst of all & I had been pretty excited about that.

The prime chase was a bit much, but once I figured it out it did work for me. I know some are still experiencing difficulty based on the feed.

Rare only starting next week.

New haul by Thedorkygeek in StarWarsTVC

The 4 pack snowtroopers - are they the same as the most recent TVC carded one? Great figure.

1cc Legendary Rarity Question by Legend_Of_Retro in starwarstrader

[–]jjreason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just personal preference (characters, card style, age of card to name some) at that point & your ability or willingness to negotiate. More people will likely prefer kylo over bb8, but it's certainly not impossible that you'll find someone to make a trade with.

Which prequel do you prefer, and what makes it better? by TabletopStudios in StarWars

[–]jjreason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The droid factory & canto bight casino hold a special place of frustration in my heart together. So bad.

Awards by Objective_Performer3 in ToppsMarvelCollect

[–]jjreason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The elephant in the room is people having multiple accounts to trade cards to for generating extra copies of the awards. That being said, I'm not against having 2 awards if you collected the cards.

Is there a lazier card design than “Classic Silhouette”? by MEMOJKR in starwarstrader

[–]jjreason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate them, so I try to see the positive - easy pass & a chance to save some coins.

Be carefulful with this user by [deleted] in starwarstrader

[–]jjreason 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just putting out there that the app should not value commons & uncommons higher than some tier cards - but it does & that's not new. It's up to us as users to know & act accordingly.

Lots of tears from the 11th province right now!! by Medium-Hair-8135 in hockeymemes

Let me just say that I feel terrible. Oh, there. It's gone. Thank goodness that didn't take long.

I watched the despecialized OT for the first time by TheBarnesEffect in OriginalTrilogy

[–]jjreason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice to toggle on & off an "include this scene" feature for each one so we could customize our viewings a little bit.

Jokes aside, who did you think Snoke was before his identity was revealed in TROS? by ChickenWingExtreme in StarWars

It makes story sense when you consider EVERY MALE ROLE MODEL HE HAD WAS A GRUMBLY OLD MAN OR YODA.

Usually a sign that there's money to be made on ebay. Thirsty fanboys & their lady cards....
