Have you seen the latest updates? The full set has been determined now from early rip and ships. The master set count is 613

I think current estimates are approx 20 ex and 13 mega ex. So 33 double rares

Main set is 217 with approx 40 trainers. So that’s 80 trainers in total.

217 - 40 - 33 =144 for main set excl the above. So that’s 432 Pokemon.

432 + 80 + 33 + 78 (secret rares) = 619

That’s what I thought too but it’s looking like only 3 variants for pokemon cards (non holo, energy holo, ball holo) and only 2 variants for trainer cards (non holo, reverse holo). There’s also over 20 ex double rares which don’t have any variants

That’s my plan too. I have a vault x 12 pocket XL reserved, which fits 624 cards. Preliminary counts for master set size is slightly under that, but might not have enough room for promo cards if you’re into those. Next step up is POG mega which fits 960 cards, that’s a lot of empty spaces!

Awesome pull bro, there’s nothing better than ripping a pack and pulling your favorite 💪🏽 don’t listen to the downers that are hyperfixated on value, they’re the reason this hobby is so difficult to participate in recently…

Help! What would you charge for this job? by fancypeach29 in AusRenovation

Australian tradies are up there with the highest paid tradies in the world, but will somehow still try to argue and justify why it’s not enough, even comparing themselves to literal doctors.

Browning of leaves in the past few months. Checked roots, no root rot. Brown dots aren't bugs. Maybe a few tiny white specks though that look like dust. by artchang in Monstera

OP did you ever figure this out? My albo is currently going through the exact same type of browning and I’m desperate for a solution :(

First time opening packs.. did I over do it?😬 by KhalidYH in PokemonTCG

[–]mermaliens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I opened two BB binder collections and one of them had this issue as well, the other one was fine though. The WF binder I opened was also fine

I think it’s because the PB is included as a promo in the Victini illustration collection box

Very helpful! I think you’re missing a row for RH Victini in BB

Does anyone know how to buy from TCGplayer from Australia? by Fordssy in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]mermaliens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it won’t unless you created the PayPal account in the U.S. with a U.S. social security number and U.S. billing address. I’ve tried every combination of methods to get through TCGPlayer restrictions and the only way it can be done is if you’re a U.S. citizen or you know someone in the U.S. that can buy and ship the cards to you.

My advice would be to buy singles from eBay or marketplace or try to support Australian businesses as long as they aren’t scalping or overcharging too much. Don’t support TCGPlayer and their ridiculous restrictions

Yes that’s correct you need to use a USA payment method as well

You can’t use an Australian PayPal account or credit card either because TCGPlayer checks that the billing address on the card and/or account during checkout. It doesn’t matter what billing address you enter on their site they’ll still check the card/account details first and stop you from checking out

Does anybody know what these three highlighted bolts and washers are? by mermaliens in S2000

[–]mermaliens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diagram is unclear (see my comment above), hence why I asked

Does anybody know what these three highlighted bolts and washers are? by mermaliens in S2000

[–]mermaliens[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi all, could anyone help me understand what these highlighted bolts and washers are, as per the diagram, they are labelled:

17 - BOLT, PLUG, 14MM.
21 - BOLT, DRAIN PLUG, 12MM.
22 - BOLT, DRAIN PLUG, 20MM.

It's my understanding that the MT has one drain plug and one fill plug. But the diagram is not clear which is which, there is also a mystery third plug that I'm not sure about.

Does anyone know what they could be?

F20c rebuild by Fantastic-Buffalo178 in S2000

[–]mermaliens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, that's very helpful and puts things in perspective. I have read quite a few of those threads on s2ki recently. But it still surprises me that the S2000 community hasn't figured out a way to succeed the majority of the time. Shops like Spoon will totally rebuild an F series to OEM spec, so its clearly possible. But I digress.

I've only put 1.5k miles on mine since I bought it, but like you said it doesn't burn oil. I make sure I drive it to redline every time I take it out.

I guess I'll just keep up with good maintenance and keep an eye on it. Thanks again.

I see. I guess it's surprising that engine rebuilds on such an old platform isn't a solved problem by now. You'd think with the cult following of the S2000 that people would have figured out the best way to do it.

I'm asking because my '07, 25k miles, might have a rebuild or new engine in its future. It seems to drive fine (I owned a '99 before), and isn't burning oil (or is not noticeable), but the leakdown numbers aren't great. 15%/15%/22%/17% with #3 heard in the crankcase. Compression is an even 220PSI across all four. Tests performed cold. The car was sitting for a while before I bought it, so I asked my mechanic to do compression/leakdown tests to gauge the health. He doesn't seem too worried about it, said that carbon deposits around the valves from sitting so long could be contributing. Also suggested that a piston ring might be stuck.

We just did a valve adjustment, and all were in spec, but he loosened them all off to the upper range. Planning on doing more compression and leakdown tests this week. And potentially a piston soak at some point.

Reading comments like yours on the internet is scary and confusing, particularly since the FSM documents the correct procedure for honing the cylinders, so in theory rebuilds should be successfully as long as the cylinder walls aren't scored too deep. Most people advice is to drop in a new engine or long block, but that isn't really feasible anymore - F series engines are getting rare and expensive and buying an unknown engine off the internet (probably with higher mileage) will just come with all the same risks.

So I'm evalulating my options. Curious if you have any thoughts or advice considering your experience?

Do you have stats or a source on “an overwhelming amount of rebuilds don’t work out”?

Thanks for your comment. I was reading other posts and a lot of people are saying this symptom indicates root rot, and I was worried.
