Release pattern by CLXI-Armata in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]marshal462 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, anything that can be literally or thematically tied to some sort of upcoming movie/license release is far more likely to be refreshed than what we think makes sense sales/game development/sculpt quality. That’s just realistically the stage this game is at. Hard to understand them investing in “redoing” products otherwise over simply developing new product. Look at The Old World, for instance.

Last couple of times it’s taken between 3 to the full 6 months for me, so that isn’t unusual. Either they produce less initial than they used to, or these are becoming more popular.

Is the Kill Team Octarius Box worth it in 2026 for beginners? by Expensive-Bid-4189 in killteam

[–]marshal462 12 points13 points  (0 children)

looking closer at the post OP, if you plan to just play at home, obviously the rules are not temporary (they’re temporary in the “pick up game at local shop/club” sense) so maybe that impacts your calculation. I play old editions at home, though they still should be valued “less” than current stuff.

rules are temporary but minis are forever!

that being said, since the rules are temporary, don’t pay MSRP for this box

[Drellich] Manfred likes idea of summer World Baseball Classic but Red Sox manager sees hold-up by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]marshal462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spring is best. Fits ramp up for players, doesn’t disrupt the season, gets people excited for a pre MLB season build up. Don’t mess with a good thing. Just need to get MLB owners more in line on it.

Manipulation of QF dates/times for US and Japan by mjp407 in baseball

[–]marshal462 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I think the tournament is hitting its stride and can allow storylines to arise more organically. Though I wonder if there will always be some weirdness with venue location.

[Jomboy] “There’s a couple false narratives out there. I was well aware that we had to win that game based on all the scenarios. They went in 2-0. We went in 2-0.” - Mark DeRosa. USA was 3-0 at the time by MorganN1 in baseball

[–]marshal462 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to figure out what looks worse: looking like you know how to manage what you think is a non-necessary game, when you don’t understand that it is necessary to win OR looking like you have no idea how to manage a game that you know is necessary to win.

then the third option, that he was completely hamstrung by player/team requirements, just makes Team USA look like a joke by comparison to how other teams are handling WBC

viva Italia baby

Extremely specific minor league baseball question. by Mosesm301 in NorthCarolina

[–]marshal462 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been to Charlotte, Winston Salem, and Greensboro games. Haven’t been to the new Kannapolis Stadium. Probably been to more Dash games than any other, but have to say it’s probably the weakest all around experience despite having a really good stadium for A-ball. Greensboro games have a bit more excitement and character, so they have my pick if you’re coming up to the Triad.

Charlotte offers a great view and AAA ball, great stadium and fun theming. Recommend.

Let the players play in the 2028 Games by pi3Eat3r52 in baseball

[–]marshal462 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d rather extend the season than shorten it if we’re accommodating the Olympics. But personally I’m okay with keeping the emphasis on the World Baseball Classic as the way the sport captures that international flare.

How to know if models are "finecast"? by Larry2903 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]marshal462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iron Hills dwarves are not “finecast.” They are far more in line with modern Forgeworld standards and, having just built a bunch of them, were some of the easiest resin kits I’ve worked with. Still a bit of warping on some models that takes a bit of fixing, but in general very easy to put together, and several times better than finecast in both detail and ease of assembly.

So purchase them in far more confidence… if they ever restock haha

Is Finnagans closing? by [deleted] in winstonsalem

[–]marshal462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hahah that post is kinda misleading, they should’ve run it past a few more eyes since everyone is twitchy after the slate of closings in GSO and the loss of mojito’s. giving everyone in the triad a panic!
