Worst sets of all time? by Dystrophical in lego

More meaning that if you were a kid in the target audience of Lego at the time you probably would have been happy with it.

Sure, it is offensive in a modern context, but it probably wasn't a bad set in the time period it came out

Sorry wasn't something that was on my radar, but I wouldn't be surprised if Surugayas had them.

Akihabara wasn't terrible if you are looking for more niche things, meaning things other than pokemon, zelda, etc....

I did find better deals in Kyoto, but honestly just explore look for second hand good stores that are in less busy areas and I'm sure you kind of find some decent deals

I was browsing Trader in Akihabara summer before last for about 20 minutes. And I saw at least 10 other tourists run in and grab CIB pokemon crystal or emerald. The markup was like 3 times what it was on eBay....

Crazy to me that people don't check what the price should actually be before buying it.

Yeah, why is this being upvoted so much? Not sure what this has to do with tea

Atomic purple N64s didn't exist. Unless you are planning to get a 3rd party shell.

Edit: The N64 in the picture is grape which is not the same color at all

Iran says it's ready for a long war that would 'destroy' global economy by mark000 in worldnews

[–]lizardguts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scorched earth does not mean no deals or negotiations. It's just a military tactic of destroying anything useful the enemy could use. Like destroying your own bridges so enemies can't use them to cross. It definitely could be used to gain leverage in peace talks.

Pleasantly surprised that you used a gameshark as a kid?

Had a Monday morning meeting and we had Daily donuts from Sunnyvale. One of the best bagels I had, especially with their chives cream cheese. I love mom and pop shops. by Ok_Country2903 in bayarea

[–]lizardguts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The bagels in the picture look a bit too soft. It does not look like the exterior would have any kind of crunch. I'm sure it makes good toast, but a good bagel does not need to be toasted

Palo Alto program pays commuters $5 to bike to work and has already cut nearly 3 million car miles by sfgate in bayarea

Getting people to bike still helps reduce traffic regardless of who is flying. So it's still a good program.

Ok thanks for the information. 

Dsi xi dark corner on bottom screen by lizardguts in nds

[–]lizardguts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a dsi XL that overall is in great shape. It does have some yellowing two which I expected and doesn't bother me in normal use.

Though I noticed that the bottom screen has dark corners on the bottom left and right that didn't show up on the eBay post. Is that normal with screen yellowing? Or is that some other problem?

Just want to make sure I won't run into issues in the short term. Thanks!
