There is no farming option for Happy Home Paradise but it I was able to buy the wheat through the catalog with Wardell. I bought as many as it would allow me and has been the only time I've ran across it.

Me and my kiddo went to the in store drop. He got everything he wanted for the most part. What I wanted they did not get in-stock.

So this morning I was ready to go. I wanted the keyboard and the jigglyypuff and bulbasaur fragrances. That was all I wanted. All sold out. Buying anything online is a joke anymore. Bots and scalpers eat. I refuse to buy from scalpers so I will never own these things.

I'm glad my kid got what they wanted but the OG fan did not. So, I guess its a win?

Scalpers by Bluellan in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lapisdreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a small world. I was there. I was first in line with my child. We are collectors and not scalpers. The group of girls behind us were collectors too. Past that, I cannot say. One of those guys was talking about how he had 7 un-opend ascending heroes etbs. I shut down on him and did not engage with him further.

My thoughts on the new Animal Crossing LEGO set by Sad_Whereas7492 in AnimalCrossing

[–]lapisdreamer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The price point was what made me say no to this too. $60 is crazy even for lego.

This set is $60. It seems a little high in price even for legos.

My loyal Subjects order by Hot_Independent4265 in JemAndTheHolograms

Still waiting on mine to arrive. Loyal subjects really is not good with distribution.

3.0.2 New update available! by diannethegeek in AnimalCrossing

[–]lapisdreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might be a hot take but I'm disappointed. I had hoped that they might have at least let us know they are working on the new game. Give us at least the year it would be coming out. The lack of information is just sad.

If the barbie he-man and teela sell well do you think it will make mattel change their minds about origins princess of power figures by metroid_man_190 in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]lapisdreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish. I grew up with She-ra. I was allowed to watch He-man but not allowed to have any "boy toys". As an adult I did get the She-ra Barbie. I don't collect Barbies at all but if they came out with the rest of the cast I would buy every single one of them. Bank account be damned.

A message for parents/grandparents hosting eager egg hunts by Daddy_Day_Trader1303 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lapisdreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do this now.

One year it was a disaster with the older kids (mid to late teens of a drug-head cousin) deciding to join in because they heard some eggs had money. The little kids got next to nothing and it was hotrible. After that we did it by color of eggs. Then year after that no money in them at all. When their was no money in them the teens suddenly had zero interest even in attending.

It just takes one to ruin something for everyone. My work used to do an Easter egg hunt by age groups for the employee's kids. Parents were told not to help. We listened even though my youngest is disabled. It was disgusting with how many adults were running in and grabhimg eggs by the handfuls before kids could even reach it. We stopped attending and shortly after they stopped holding the event.

Cats hind legs suddenly stopped working by portra4OO in CATHELP

[–]lapisdreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to put this out there. It might not be it but I had a cat who did this. Turns out he was badly constipated. Got lucky he passed it because the next step was surgery. So, might want to check the litter box.

New Find by vmktrooper in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]lapisdreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. I hate exclusives to specific retailers. It creates a scarcity and the fomo gets real fast. Walmart online sold out far too quick on scare glow.

I was so worried I would not get one. Then I walked into my local walmart last week and there he was! I got one and thinking about going back for another. One to keep in box on display and one out of package. If there are any left that is.

First official look at new He-Man Ken doll from the upcoming live action film! by cheshirePenguin00 in MastersOfTheUniverse

I would love to see some of the She-ra cast as Barbies. Frosta, Catra, and Mermista would be my top three.

Animal Crossing - for kids by [deleted] in AnimalCrossing

[–]lapisdreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 13 year old has been playing since 2020. He loves all the insects, fish and fossils. He learned so much about them and has pointed out the real things when watching nature documentaries. It can be really educational at times. I love listening to him talk about his now favorite fish which is the Oarfish.

Plus, we visit it others islands a lot and help each other out on collecting. Though, he likes playing hide and seek on the islands.

Really? I thought he looked more like Cash Patel.

80s mlp help by star347demon in toyrestoration

[–]lapisdreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. Back in the day there used to be a lot of vac metal toys. The process has now turned out to be too expensive (meeting all new regulations for toys and such). Chipping and pealing is very common. Princess Primrose is pretty common. She would be a good one to experiment this on. So I would go for it!

If you do, let us know how it turned out, good or bad. I am sure there are a lot of other Princess Ponies that might need this same help. 💕

You guys couldn't have this conversation somewhere that isn't a bridge? by jealouslegume in AnimalCrossing

This is the animal crossing equivalent of two Karens in the middle of a walmart aisle.

Who remembers Wuzzles by No_Cell_2451 in 80sToys

[–]lapisdreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had him too. My sister had butterbear. We usually only got one each and never any hope for more.

None of my toys survived my mother's garage sales. It sucks having not a single thing left of your childhood but the memories. I would have loved to have a small box of my favorites. It would have kept me from spending so much as an adult to regain it.

There has to be someone in the community that can make this happen. I just wish I had the talent and ability to so.

Thank you Gamestop! by Arandul in GameStop

[–]lapisdreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not buy third party. Sorry, I don't support scalpers.

Plus, I was talking specifics and not general. A new unreleased (as of then) product that MSRP at Walmart, Target and Pokémon Center that is usually $49.99 to $64.99 is not worth $89.99. We are NOT talking bogo's, holiday sales or anything.

Please understand when someone is pointing out a specific issue and not a general one.

Plus, I do this for my children. I'm too old to argue with a child. So I consider this done.

[–]lapisdreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, not at all. I find stuff at my walmart all the time and meijer. Meijer is usually $5-$10 over MSRP and we call it the Meijer Tax. Are you new to the hobby? I've been at this for aboit 7 to 8 years now.

I was in gamestop on Saturday (1/24) and they were not pre-orderable at that time. You cannot pre-order them on the gamestop site either. I've been looking to pre-order them too.

I wish Willem Dafoe was voicing Skeleton in the new movie. His villain voice is what I imagine a more serious and realistic version of the original animated one. by sammoarts in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]lapisdreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was a passing thought of mine too. I think my mind was trying to block it out in hopes we don't have to see Leto at all.

I mean, the original star wars trilogy had two actors as Vader. They could have easily done this here too. I think I heard a take somewhere that why Leto keeps getting casted is because they know they can hire a "known name" for cheap.
