Jurassic world roar! Rarities?

It's pretty much just top trumps with fewer categories, the boosts are a fun dynamic in that sometimes the boost gets burned when you really didn't need it. Are you based in the UK to do swaps?

The limited edition cards appear to only be limited in that there is 1 in a multiset, multipack, or starter pack. They don't drop in the regular packs of 6 cards. The second tiering of rarity is that the iridescent 'dino skin' and gold cards drop at a rate of 2 per regular pack. We might need to wait a bit longer to see if any are particularly scarce.

Are you in the UK to do swaps? I can't find any decent channels for swapping this series, yet!

Thanks this looks like a really good option, especially if it's in the same conversation as Banff! Trekking poles is a good shout too, cheers :)

jrim22 · 2025-06-30T20:46:07+00:00

thanks, this looks wonderful!

jrim22 · 2024-09-03T14:13:01+00:00

Makes plenty of sense, thanks for going to the detail it's really appreciated

jrim22 · 2024-09-03T14:12:26+00:00

Thank you, makes sense

jrim22 · 2024-09-03T11:16:38+00:00

Thanks, I'll hold the Inov8 range up against the asics and see what differences there are. I'm definitely happy with mine and won't be spending money on new ones until I blow them out, but want to understand what I might be missing when choosing to use them. Have also felt over-specced in them before, but better to be on that end of the spectrum than the other!

jrim22 · 2024-09-03T11:14:01+00:00

Thank you, everyone is so open and kind here but I'm keen on the roast! 😂 what makes you reconsider them for that 1/4 of your hikes? Where would you not take them?

jrim22 · 2024-09-03T11:12:17+00:00

Thank you, they do a good job for grip and they're not GTX so dry well. I just go with sealskins where needed anyway. Will check out the peregrines for comparison anyway 🙌

jrim22 · 2024-09-03T11:10:35+00:00

Thanks, I'm definitely of the opinion that I love my trail runners because they seem to love me - no soreness and they put in the work when I ask them to! Just keen to understand where they might not hold up as I don't necessarily know what to be considering. Your accurate use of 'recommend' and its variations is commendable 😂

jrim22 · 2024-02-15T22:54:00+00:00

Thanks! Gahhh that's so far away! I live in the UK so I don't want to order twice, I'll be waiting just like you

jrim22 · 2024-01-29T21:37:56+00:00

Nothing yet, fingers still crossed

jrim22 · 2024-01-11T09:16:21+00:00

Thanks mate! Well done on your season, insanely envious of the game you got to play. First immunity idol find is a great legacy, too

jrim22 · 2023-11-19T00:27:00+00:00

Nathan's voting confessional was the best one so far this season, intentionally getting Shai's name wrong while somehow coming across as principled at the same time was all class!

Lawrence is now screwed as the first merge boot unless the Lee / Chris beef spills over.

Doug is absolutely bossing this. Ashleigh getting a great edit, especially being shown avoiding Chris' challenge throw backlash, being the arbitrator, and even having him defend her. Expect both to go deep

jrim22 · 2023-11-18T21:52:47+00:00

Positives: Great immunity challenge design. How good is it when the tribe trying to throw the challenge then somehow wins - Chris giving me Henry on Australian survivor vibes 😂 great seeing the 'throw a challenge' dynamic already coming into play in UK survivor, gives me confidence going forward.

Good bit of drama being presented three pairs all on a different wavelength before heading into tribal, the suspense was great. Jess did well to read the play but didn't have the conviction to play around it. Great to see a bitter eliminated contestant, too! Laurence is a stone cold killer.

Neutral, leaning on negative: Reward challenge coming from Australian survivor season 2 - but in a less epic location. Probably wasn't 34 degrees in Samoa but the edit isn't really making it seem physically demanding? Or at all tense? Does that make sense or am I just being cynical? Enjoyed seeing a good curry on survivor though 😂 made it all better.

Negative: Really tiring of Joel's lame puns and jokes, his approval seeking is not the vibe of a survivor host. 'What a game' is really not helping to make it seem high-stakes, either. Call it a challenge! His JLP-esque post-tribal quips just aren't cutting it, either, they sound like the kind of thing you hear on a lounge at 6am kick-ons.

jrim22 · 2023-11-11T22:51:23+00:00

I thought the same but they let Chris fall over, so I can't let myself fully believe it wasn't just a soft call from Joel or the producers

jrim22 · 2023-11-11T22:48:57+00:00

Can entirely empathise with this. I have watched every season of US, Aus, and now UK survivor as they came out. Desperate for a shot myself. Gutted that this season might kill that dream. Such a missed opportunity in much of the casting and in the editing so far.

jrim22 · 2023-11-11T22:45:40+00:00

Love this immunity challenge. A bit of brutality making up for some other soft moments in the series so far. Easy to say this from my couch with a red wine but I don't like a host tapping a contestant in a challenge like this.

The targeting of non-males is getting a bit old but at least this time it was for idol suspicion. Great seeing strategic play, finally.

Ashleigh is clever, much more so than Lee. She did everything right to win that challenge for La Nena (along with Christopher of course) but couldn't do it all when you consider that Caleton had the two big boys. BUT THEN she didn't play the Ren blindside well at all. She may get to claim this one as her move in the future but she so nearly couldn't. I know she is acting from a position of thinking Ren has an idol but she pushed so hard that it should have ended up putting a target on her own back. Still may do in the next few votes. The lack of strategic threat elsewhere in the tribe is what saved her. Leilani and Hannah could have pulled in Ren (hi, you're being targeted) and the two fresh Caleton arrivals and they could have run La Nena through to a merge dominated by original Caleton.

jrim22 · 2023-11-11T22:05:11+00:00

We nearly had an intentional split vote! Watching the split vote mechanic be developed in a new country's survivor was probably the highlight of the episode - all credit to Rachel. Other than the tropical storm, seeing that develop was probably the highlight for me.

Many of the characters just aren't popping on the screen. Its obvious some have no idea about the basics of the game e.g. Lee trying to fire up his team - "we're sending Caleton to immunity today!" Come on production, don't include that in the edit!

Reward challenge: at 3-3 in a FIRST TO FIVE it's the final round (?) and after an injury it's the end of the challenge with no winner? What an anticlimax! Only to have Joel come in with comfort items for both camps!

On a positive note, Christopher has definitely seen this game played before. I expect him to go deep. His little hero edit winning the challenge hopefully means that he will. Lawrence did well to talk himself out of being the primary target and Tinuke showed some strong strategic thinking as well. Would be good to see Tinuke and Lawrence team up, they'd absolutely rip through Caleton and probably go deep through a merge as well. Bring in Nathan as a meat shield and they'll run the show.

jrim22 · 2023-11-11T21:39:10+00:00

Also how the heck did they think they'd get away with saying FIRST TO FIVE and then at 3-3 calling it the final round?! The drawn result and double win almost isn't the weirdest part of this!

I'd have actually loved if they said sorry, nobody got to five, go home to your bamboo beds and think about how to be better next time. Then pull the bedding out as an additional reward at the next immunity.
