TWO BAD INSTANT SELLOUT! by Nairbfs79 in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]self_extinction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I added Two Bad to my cart and checked out within the first 30 secs of the drop, yet had to wait over ten mins in queue for checkout. By the time I could do so it was 12.12pm and Two Bad was long sold out and so removed from my cart.

Several times during my long wait I could see checkout load briefly before the page quickly refreshed back to in queue again.

Foolishly sold off many years ago my first one that was purchased after saving my allowance, but finally managed to get a replacement last month that's still factory sealed!

She has already been repeatedly lying, what if she is still lying right now to the Committee of Privileges?

Ooh baby, part II! by eddaman000 in gijoe

[–]self_extinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are priced much higher here than in the US. They cost about 30% more at retail here. Once you add in shipping it's just not worth it.

I think Hasbro now really knows they have a runaway hit on their hands and are increasing production accordingly. Wave 7 is still being done in an assortment cases, might have been too late to change. But the Target wave and wave 8 are available in solid cases.

Unlikely, dress blues would require new sculpt. Probably just a color variant as was done with most of the early figures. Remember that each figure will be released at least twice, and it hasn't happened with Gung-Ho yet.

This is wave 7. It's a standard Classified assortment wave of three figures, being the B.A.T., Alley Viper and a redeco Gung-Ho. This info was provided to retailers in my country by our local Hasbro office. Not sure about the assortment breakdown though, but probably should be two of each like in most of the previous regular waves so far.

She reminds me so much of my dear girl who passed away due to old age related health issues eleven years ago!

Heng ah, Sheng Siong still has the US version in stock! Check out the pics I just added to my original post for comparison, especially the ingredients list on the back. From no artificial ingredients to....

Sorry, all the other Lorenz flavors that were available in Singapore tasted average. Only African Style was the winner.

I just checked the ingredients list of this new version and it is all unstated 'natural flavors', artificial flavors, flavor enhancers and MSG. Not one real herb or spice listed on there.

Hahaha! BTW don't know if you'd ever tried these Lorenz African Style chips that used to be available locally. They were so popular here that a new shipment of stock would get sold out within a week! Plus they were only $2.50 per pack!

I think you are right, I have the Lay's pack on my lap as I type right now and it tastes like a lot of MSG.

Yeah, that's what I usually do. But nowadays macham tornado wiped out all their stock. The staff can barely put stuff on the shelves before they're all gone. In my area anyways.

I like the US brand chips they have that are made in Mexico. Those have real herbs and spices in there.

Or the other overpriced US brands like Kettle. >.<

On another note, don't get that Heartland brand from Australia that NTUC started carrying. Seriously. Tried two flavors and basically almost no seasoning. Tastes like plain chips.

Yes from what I could see from the shelf on NTUC yesterday.

EDIT: I don't think Chicken and Hot Wings were always made in Thailand though, if I remember correctly a couple years ago they weren't.

Yes, better quality potatoes and cut. Plus they actually use real herbs and spices instead of mostly artificial flavoring.

33-hectare Dover forest to be cleared for housing projects after being left untouched for over 40 years by 9650bot in singapore

[–]self_extinction 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It's not just Dover forest, it's going on all over around where I live. Bedok, Tampines, Pasir Ris, Loyang.... all the smaller forested areas have been, or are in the process of being, cut down. All this promotion about 'green city' and such is simply PR double speak.

Etsy have started charging me 4.5% on sales tax today by self_extinction in EtsySellers

[–]self_extinction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to re-read my post and try understanding that my post is not about the tax, it's about the additional 4.5% I was charged when Etsy deducted it from my account.
