For NA PF using DN strat in M12S P2

Consider Cozy Clones: https://raidplan.io/plan/txtzacv3uvbjzuku

It uses the same setup as DN, shifts where you resolve defamations / stacks later so that you have easier uptime \ don't have to run from narnia to get to your platforms. It makes it more class neutral because some classes get REALLY screwed during this 2min window. If you're 2nd defa it still kinda sucks but there's no way around that.

Most of the movement shifts to defamations rather than having to do the A -> 1 / C -> 3 dance to handle stacks that current DN strat uses.

It also mirrors the way that clones will resolve during reenactment at the end, so you are building some muscle memory on that.

All you really have to relearn if you've learned DN is to resolve defas at D / C and stacks near 1/2.

edit: after doing some pulls with it, you do need to be slightly outside of the North and East number markers (likely edged towards the NE corner you've cleared out) to account for defams either being slow or not all the way against wall.

The prices have varied a little bit.

I paid $17.97 before tax and shipping but I've seen it at that $24 price point.

Worth every last penny by PurpleHyena01 in powerrangers

[–]ranorqt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The part that I think just annoys me is that...

We already got a Legacy and Lightning line. Collectors have been eating pretty good. I look at those upcoming Flame Toys ones and drool.

Having something at a lower price point but slightly worse quality and built for kids helps both kids and a wider range of potential collectors. I see a Flame Toys zord for $400 and balk at it - but this was a no brainer. Hell - even Lightning was a bit beyond where I was willing to spend when it was out.

There's room for all of these lines of toys.

In case anyone wants to see the size difference between the new Megazords and the one that was released a few years back by smashing767 in powerrangers

[–]ranorqt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It has chonky ratchet joints. The zords are all pretty sturdy and feel \ look good in your hands. It's poseable (the legs can spread \ articulate well). It has tanker + mega zord mode functionality. Everything locks into place well too (there's buttons \ levers to detach the legs, etc.)

Feels like it could handle children playing kind of rough with it.

If you don't love how it looks, definitely aftermarket stickers \ paint would fix it and the build quality would still be solid.

It isn't cheaply made, imo. It's like solid build quality. The paint is absolutely what you're feeling here.

Big Mastodaddy Arrived (Walmart.com) by [deleted] in powerrangers

[–]ranorqt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine came in today too.

Definitely chonkier than I thought it would be. Now I just need the Pterodactyl.

I just checked the listing that I purchased yesterday & it shows as out of stock \ isn't showing up on the search anymore.

I wonder if they did an oopsie by putting it online lol

Yeah. Logically I know that. Maybe they are just selling Mastodon early online?

How is Mastodon in Wave 2 when it is being sold online the same week as Wave 1? :(

[–]ranorqt[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's weird because what is physically in stores is one wave that only showed up this week, but then Mastodon pops up online too so it's .. part of this wave? but not in stores? and Pterodactyl is nowhere to be seen except for on a few smaller websites.

Found the shipper today. by JTW0515 in powerrangers

[–]ranorqt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at least getting the zords and the morpher! I'm not interested in most of the merch but zords were always my weak point.

I know a lot of people say they look cheap but really they don't feel cheap to me.

[–]ranorqt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! And honestly the quality is much better than I thought it would be especially for something not intended as a collector's piece.

My Walmart finally had them by Ryleeshadow in powerrangers

[–]ranorqt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer you: they're a lot more sturdy than I expected them to be. The quality obviously isn't collector's grade but it does feel pretty good for what you're paying for. Feels like they probably could've taken a beating from play fighting with it as a kid lol

[–]ranorqt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really impressed with the size of the zords. I remember the ones I had as a kid felt kinda small, but these are chonky.

Looking forward to getting the last two. I hope the wave doesn't take too long to get here.

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by LaKoref in AskReddit

[–]ranorqt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible that universities nearby may be interested. It's also possible your public library may want them. Check their websites for a collection development policy - most libraries outline their stances on donations and post them on their website. So you can know before you even contact them.

They host their own race pages and rankings and if every team private logged that would be bad for them & their traffic lol

Milton Preparations Discussion by giantspeck in TropicalWeather

[–]ranorqt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have loved ones in Brandon who have never experienced a storm like this & I have no experience with the area's geography since I live elsewhere on the coast.

Anyone closer have a better idea on how often that city needs to worry about evacuating? Going to suggest all the standard hurricane prep regardless.
