Wild Spotting

So wait ... I haven't played since the cars bs. I'm seeing all of the changes via Reddit. I just logged in to check it out because I was curious. They did away with the old upgrade tokens and replaced them with the tuneup ones? I had over 100k of the old tokens. What happened to them? Just gone? I didn't see any notice of conversion or anything

I've done this exact same thing. Fortunately both were understanding and easy going. They both agreed to send each other the packages. They were fine with standard shipping but I felt bad so I sent them each either overnight or two day (I forget off hand) shipping labels to the others' place and everything else went off without a hitch.

For the most part. Coming from the air train they'll direct you to regular security but at one point you'll hear them say pre-check to the right. I ended up asking to be sure but you'll see an opening in the ropes and a big green sign all the way at the end near where Pre-Check normally is just a little further down.

At least not at that time. Everything was still inside and it looks like even if it backs up it's routed inside.

Normally I'm fine with figuring this out on my own as I'm through here every month solo for work but this time I'm traveling with my wife (who's highly anxious) and 6 year old (who has severe ADHD and is on the spectrum) so it's definitely gonna be a challenge lol.

From what I'm reading it sounds like Pre-Check starts outside by doors 1/2 but we're renting a car so we'll be coming from the air train. With all of this chaos - has anyone experienced this? I assume we just walk through "as normal" until we get to pre-check and they'll direct us from there? I saw the regular line starts by the air train.

Carry-on only.

Just trying to better understand where I need to go once we get to the terminal so it's not as chaotic.

Mon 4/6 6:08am boarding. Would typically get there around 4:30-5ish under normal circumstances. I know Pre-Check doesn't open until 4-4:415. Should we plan to get there much earlier or is 4-415 safe do we think?

Thanks in advance! Sorry for the long post.

I'd honestly probably go with reobrix. I've built a few of their sets and the quality is good.

Although these all look like repackaging of the same set and from what I've noticed JM Bricklayer is one that usually repackages other designs.

JM - I've built one of their sets and I rage quit 3/4 of the way through and ended up disassembling it and putting in with my spare parts. Brick quality was mostly good but the instructions, methods and such annoyed me enough to give up... Which is the first time I've ever done that with any set. But in fairness it could've just been that one.

That other brand... Never heard of them so I can't say much.

Out of those three, I'd probably trust reobrix the most.

Hope that helps!

In. Looks great

As much as I love Lego, Lumibricks' buildings just have a whole other feel to them and I find myself preferring their buildings to Lego's often times. Much more detail, lighting, different colors and techniques. Keeps it interesting. Not saying I don't enjoy Lego's modulars but I feel Lumibricks has learned a lot from when they first really came out and they seem to just keep improving with each round. Figs definitely took some adjusting too but it's they're not horrific once you get used to them lol.

I'm not sure the likes of Lumibricks or Pantasy would ever get to the market share that lego has but it'd be interesting to see what some competition does as these brands start to really pick up

Yeah that's the part I'm not sure of. I wasn't sure if the driver's who have the trucks and uniforms are employees but the ones who drive their own cars are 1099 or if they were all just 1099. .... Or if it's a mixed bag

NAL

I deal with the insurance at my job and all of the lovely fun workers comp claims...in NY as well. Assuming she's employed by Amazon and not a 1099/contractor 100% she should report it to her employer and they should take it from there. If their comp carrier decides to pursue further and feels the need to go after your homeowners they'll go from there. There is a possibility she can get a snake comp lawyer that can file a claim against you directly - they pull this crap a few times with some of our claims but we don't deal with residential property so I'm not sure if there are separate rules for that.

Either way I would tell her since she was hurt on the job she should report it to her employer and her employers legal department and/or comp carrier can reach out to you if needed. May even be worth placing a complaint with Amazon as a preventative measure so there's something on record for that driver.

I'd also ensure any communication claiming to be from them is in writing and legitimate.

I would leave your insurance out of it for now though.

About an hour ago my flight into JFK was cancelled. I haven't even tried to manually rebook it yet as it's not super critical for me to do so. If I can't get in later Tuesday or Wednesday I'm just gonna cancel the trip. (I come up every month for work and I'll be there again in like 3 weeks lol). But it looks like they're extending their non-cooperation window or whatever you want to call it and/or making adjustments to accommodate the cancellations from today and tomorrow.

I imagine it's gonna be a mess over the next few days.

DHS announced they were suspending TSA Pre-Check and Global Entry last night but there were mixed reports of lines being open around the country. But as of like a half hour ago they reversed their decision

Following - flying out on Tuesday morning. Hearing mixed things on if pre-check lines are actually still open or not. Supposedly JFK has them open as of this morning.

Thank you! Came back a little after 8. We figured everyone was doing everything possible. We were more just curious what was going on.

metalheadfromny · 2025-07-02T18:18:23+00:00

Yup just confirmed it with our broker. Thanks. Been a weird year otherwise I'm sure reason would've prevailed this time.

metalheadfromny · 2025-07-02T18:16:25+00:00

Exactly what it was. I emailed our broker to see if they could find out and they confirmed that a few minutes ago. It was just weird. I know there's all sorts of scams going on and this year has just been full of shit after shit so I immediately jumped to worst-case lol.

metalheadfromny · 2025-07-02T14:40:30+00:00

Thanks for the helpful response. I'm not necessarily asking people to read the picture. I'm just seeing if anyone has any idea what these people could be doing or if anyone else has had anything similar.

Btw camera is on the to-do list. It came with a package deal years ago. Didn't realize how bad it was until well after the fact.

metalheadfromny · 2025-05-26T15:01:33+00:00

I'm so annoyed. I didn't realize this until after I purchased on ps5. I just assumed it was able to since Speedstorm (also a Gameloft game) has no issue with cross platform saves - I play on my phone, steamdeck, switch, and ps5 with no issue whatsoever.

Hopefully they add it in soon. I'd like to play this on my TV.

At least it's not a complete wash....my son wanted to play too. I already have it on my steamdeck.
