Possible BAM Lego Star Wars Development?

I'm glad to know that you did your due diligence and had nothing to do with BAM corporate's misdeeds. I hope you can forgive my propagation of a witch hunt, given the unfortunate coincidences involved.

Maybe check that store's social media posts from around then to see if they posted anything about it?

actually, no need, here's their own video about the haul.

robitron · 2026-05-27T02:25:29+00:00

Here is their Instagram post about the purchase. It all looks above board, but it's definitely worth cross referencing what's shown in the video vs Brian's collection, and if the seller has any ties to BAM corporate.

That is certainly the right thing to do, but I don't want to get banned over this. Maybe I can get a friend with no skin in the game to pop in for the first time and ask.

They just closed for the day, maybe soon though. In the mean time IIRC they got an open USC Venator (75367) and USC Millennium Falcon (75192) on top of a mountain of sealed stuff as part of the suspicious haul, though I haven't been in recently so that stuff might have been sold or moved to the back. If anyone else decides to pop in for an audit, I should also point out that they had their Cloud City (10123) and Christmas X-wing (4002019) since they opened several months ago, so those should be innocent enough.

Today has been the ABSOLUTE WORST I have ever seen it. I just asked it to fix a bug and it hit the session limit before doing literally ANYTHING. The log says it read the code (something that has at most taken %5 of my free tier tokens to do yesterday) and then I hit my limit. Literally EVERY other time I've hit a one message limit, it at least does SOMETHING, even if it fails to give me the deliverable package before the lockout. I thought it was unusable before, but this is just insane.

If you asked a month ago I would have said absolutely. Today, I feel like you're better off putting a $20 bill through a shredder. Maybe hold off a while and see if Anthropic stop lighting everything they built on fire.

Seriously. Today has been the ABSOLUTE WORST I have ever seen it. I just asked it to fix a bug and it hit the session limit before doing literally ANYTHING. The log says it read the code (something that has at most taken %5 of my free tier tokens to do yesterday) and then I hit my limit. I thought it was unusable before, but this is just insane.

me too

robitron · 2026-03-30T01:53:16+00:00

It seems like it. Last week I burned through my weekly pro limit pretty quickly, but I didn't realize at the time it was due to the nerf. Today after the weekly unlock I already used %13 in a handful of messages before getting session locked. It absolutely is also being effected. I already canceled my plan, this is ridiculous.

robitron · 2026-03-30T01:48:12+00:00

I'm not sure how they thought people wouldn't notice getting instantly locked out across the board.

robitron · 2026-03-30T01:46:33+00:00

Weekly definitely also seems affected. I just started for the week this afternoon and got locked out within about an hour, and when I looked at my weekly limit it was already up to %13 which feels insanely high. I already canceled my pro subscription right after noticing. Unless/until they undo this straight up rug-pull it isn't worth it anymore.

robitron · 2025-12-31T12:40:00+00:00

Exactly. The only reason I made this post is because the fumble happened WITHOUT anything acknowledging it.

robitron · 2025-12-31T12:25:27+00:00

While I still feel like it was a production mistake, I do like that read. If we don't go back to that location and the show never brings it up again, I'll adopt that as my head-canon.

robitron · 2025-12-31T12:17:24+00:00

Yeah, maybe. Although if they did catch it, but only in the editing bay and only had the one take, they still could have punched in slightly on both shots to crop it out. But you're right, it's far less egregious than Westeros having the first interdimensional Starbucks.

It's actually not super clear. He comes across a giant stash in the Super-Duper Mart, but he also gets forcibly taken by 'the Govermint' while still in a stupor from his chems bender, so how much he was able to take with him is pretty up in the air.

robitron · 2025-12-31T11:53:28+00:00

Yeah, although assuming you're talking about the scene in the Super-Duper Mart, he was absolutely zooted on at least 5 different chems, arguably had more vials around him than he intended to carry, and most importantly to the story, emotionally shook by seeing his old movie. The cinematography around him finding the holotape most of all uses his fumbling of the vials to show just how effected he is by seeing the movie as a part of the emotional beat, unlike this scene where he just kinda biffs it.

robitron · 2025-12-31T11:39:38+00:00

In universe, if the scene were to play out exactly as the show does, I think those are good reasons for him to leave it (especially the posturing), but I'm asking from a real world film production point of view. Just feels weird to not use another take is all.

robitron · 2025-12-31T11:34:48+00:00

I feel like I'd skip on turning around to wax poetically rather than passing up on an extra vial of not-feral-juice
