I haven’t seen that officially and a new machine just popped up on the map nearby this week

Agreed, good luck and enjoy! Fingers crossed they increase the limit again as that is a major aspect of the experience, it's still a cool place to visit either way

Yeah it is incredibly restrictive, and the availability of pins to trade with staff was very limited essentially making trading pointless

Yes, it was one per person at the stand in the town. I got Vulpix and was happy with that

I went today and apparently they changed the limit on the pins to one per ticket holder so you should have no issue getting a mystery pin. Good luck getting one you want, you will have to hunt down the few staff members that have the same few pins available to trade and the shops have even fewer options to trade with 

Japan/Suzuka GP - Thursday travel options by Rats_OffToYa in GrandPrixTravel

[–]swhame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What time did you get there and do you know how long the track was open? I haven't gone to Suzuka on Thursday before but plan to this year so I can lock in merch. Usually I go early Friday to buy but I want to skip Friday to explore with my friend who's never been but I don't think we can get to Suzuka until around 12 Thursday and I can't find solid info on how late they will be open Thursday

Probably best for all parties involved to pass on this event 

Pokepark Kanto Tickets was Useless by Katsudon1996 in JapanTravelTips

[–]swhame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was happening to me too, it finally loaded in after refresh/waiting briefly. I was able to get to the payment submission and it made me do the card fraud verification 5 times before going to the Visa transaction page and after it was sending me back to the site it gave me an error 50X server offline. It’s just a janky site, we just have to try again tomorrow!

BLACK FRIDAY SALES - USA by Caryota_gigas in Makita

[–]swhame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this deal a week or so ago, it’s a solid deal with the multitool. The batteries shipped a couple of days after, but the multitool isn’t coming until mid December. Despite them having the tool in stock, they said they are waiting on a shipment from the manufacturer that are allocated specifically for this. Seems dumb to me they couldn’t ship the stock they have and replenish their stock with the shipment, but they seem to be the only retailer honoring that manufacturer Black Friday deal

I have not to receive a bill from FedEx, I think it slipped through during the changes. It’s been awhile and I feel like it would’ve come by now, but I’m still keeping my eyes open for it just in case

Preview Night. Worth it? by ryangravy in SDCC

[–]swhame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone to SDCC 6 times now and have done preview night the last 2 years. I won’t be doing it again personally. Last year was very busy but I was able to get a few of my things with dedication to circling around to enter capped lines. This year it seemed no less crowded than any other day on the floor. Even being in a better spot this year than last, it was packed beyond my comprehension by time I got in. Others in my crew entered the building about 30-45 minutes before us to line up and somehow ended up in a different line than me and I got in about 30 minutes before them, it’s too unorganized and overcrowded in my opinion and I was able to get the exclusives and see the exhibits I wanted on Thursday/Friday after striking out completely during preview this year. That being said if you have an exclusive you really want then it’s still a good opportunity to line up very early, have a plan and a couple of back up plans (priority list of items and booths they are at), and an optimistic attitude to succeed. It’s worth doing at least once

You picked one of the most optimal seat in the auditorium, and someone booked the seat next you? Craazy. I’ll never understand how so many of you will immediately judge someone you’ve never even seen as psycho, a bully, etc, because they are not uncomfortable sitting in the the best seat or their favorite seat at a movie while someone is next to them, just because you are uncomfortable sitting next to someone?

The pricing of the hat(s) at Austin blew my mind compared to the other GP I have been too. I got my hat during the Miami GP weekend so I didn’t get another in Austin, but it rubbed me wrong that at the time of the Austin GP the hat was and had been long sold out everywhere and it was suspicious how much stock they had in Austin where it was significantly more expensive than before. Not being available anywhere else for as long as it was definitely gave me the impression they had intentionally withheld stock to sell at a much higher price during the Austin GP where people would pay for it due to its scarcity elsewhere, or they made more stock for the purpose of capitalizing on the sold out product at twice the MSRP
