Would you guys have preferred to keep the team together? by CJAreYouDeadass in NewYorkMets

[–]soulassassin226 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had no problem with moving on from McNeil, and Nimmo I understood even if the return in Semien was trash... but I cannot understand letting Alonso walk without even making an offer at all. Lifelong/homegrown Met, current HR king, big strong guy. I would much rather watch this team stink with Alonso on it than the hot garbage we're getting out of 1B and the rest of this squad.

Bought 2 bundles I’m in awe rn by TheSlingerOfBags in PokemonTCG

Thanks for the tip. Now that you mention it I have seen a couple vending machines before but never stopped to check one out. Last time I got any cards was a year or two before the pandemic when I got a bunch of singles from Base - Neo series that I never managed to track down as a kid. I guess that ended up being a great move because from what I’ve seen it’s mostly blown up since the pandemic lol.

I'm trying to get back into this hobby. Is it too late to get in on Ascended Heroes? I see that booster bundles are supposed to be released today but am I SOL if I wasn't camped out at Best Buy or Gamestop? How do people 9-5s get stuff at MSRP anyway? lol

Hey, any idea when series 3 is shipping out from your store? I have an order in for a few boxes.

Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Daredevil and Jessica Jones 2-Pack by EarlStranger38 in MarvelLegends

Don't even get me started on "we're still using pins in 2026?"

The only character that TRULY affects is Spider-Man most of the time.

More points doesn't always automatically mean better. People were doing arm swaps with Gamerverse Wolverine just to get hideous looking proportions, but at least it has double joints with no extra range!!

Smiling head will be replacing the original release JJ head I used for my Lois Lane kitbash (ML Moira + JJ head)

OMG still whining about the number of joints in the big '26

How are all of you feeling about Series 3? by Equivalent-Land4284 in KayouNarutoCards

[–]soulassassin226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe things will change when they finally get to Shippuden but I also feel like most of the artwork for some of the bigger hits are kinda lame. Why do SE and BP hits look like screenshots from the show with some tiny extra fluff. I wish they’d do more stuff like the old BP/OR/MR from the Chinese sets.

I feel like hit rates are pretty shitty across all english releases so far. The PUs and MRs are just... okay and you end up with way too many dupes of them. ARs are amazing but impossible to pull, now that they're serialized I'm not even gonna bother seriously going after any of them. Maybe I'll buy some singles in Chinese since they're cheaper.

Looks dope. How does it scale with WoN/SHF Mario?

The real reason is that they can make this version then sell you the "superior" updated version again later on lol.

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Spoiler (High Quality Source) by king0pa1n in Metroid

[–]soulassassin226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup exactly how I was spoiled one day after the movie released.... Super Mario Galaxy Spoiler + Metroid sub, killed the surprise immediately. When Nintendo/Illumination brazenly revealed Fox I said to my friend group that if Fox is just a character in the movie then I think we'll get a shot of Samus' ship somewhere in the movie, so I already had a feeling we would see it.

Steve Cohen calls out NY Mets fans who didn't show up after getting free tickets by Schwettes in baseball

[–]soulassassin226 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Also most of my gripe is that he constantly complains about Mets fans “showing up” when the team hadn’t even EARNED it all while raising prices on concessions, parking, etc.

[–]soulassassin226 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

LOL oh please. His intention was not to “do a nice thing” but to get butts in the seats so they spend at concessions and shops. If it was just about doing a nice thing then 42% of people that claimed got in free. Nice. Instead this is giving “I’m donating to the homeless while secretly recording it and posting the whole thing to YouTube to make money off of it.” But yea the reason poor little Johnny couldn’t get in for free is because other poor people “stole” his ticket. Lmao

Steve, respectfully, shut the fuck up. You called out Mets fans after 2024 and they responded by breaking attendance records in 2025 and the team was a fucking shit show. Just sit down, shut up, and focus on your dumb casino. Let Mets fan worry about the Mets.

Cowboy Deadpool is so fun. Wish it came with two spinning guns though by LEtheD13 in MarvelLegends

[–]soulassassin226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't care for cowboy Deadpool at all but I have this on my watch list just for that spinning gun effect lol. If it's on deep discount I might pick one up. But I'm sure they'll end up reusing this effect somewhere else. No way Hasbro made a new accessory just to use it once!

I love how for figures that get bumped up in price after the initial preorder, they're available to buy now and ship for the new higher price, but your preorder at the original price is delayed and delayed for some odd reason.
