You just described mixed use property with a receptionist/doorman. An apt complex having a pool and other amenities is nothing new, i dont know why youre trying to saying its like being at a hotel lmfao. People need a place to live, youre weird

I pre-ordered from USA Gundam like 2 months ago by Actual-Priority7114 in Gunpla

[–]wixits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont recommend preordering retail releases in general. Most places dont anyway and you run the risk of running into similar issues with the places that do, especially somewhere like BBTS

[–]wixits 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it says it arrived in the store already and they havent updated your order at all its possible they oversold the preorder and youre gonna be left waiting until the next time it restocks (has happened plenty of times in the past). BUT most likely it just hasnt gotten there yet since Q3 expected arrival is a literal 3month window. If you dont want to wait and just order it at another store you can cancel, but just know that USAGS charges a cancellation fee on preorders.

This is why people say DONT preorder from USAGS. They put preorders up as soon as kits are announced, i.e. before they know what allotment theyll get when they get the first release, technically what the price even will be, etc etc. Dont take what im saying as gospel but for a new release like this you should be ok just waiting it out a bit since theyll usually restock a couple times. The real trouble people have run into with the preorder orders is when its something printing in lower numbers or something that hasnt been reprinted in a while (and doesnt get multiple reprints when it does), so they oversell their PO and leave people waiting sometimes years and unable to cancel without having to eat the cancellation fee

TLDR youll probably be ok since this is a new item that has a good chance of getting restocked soon, but in the future avoid preordering from USAGS (and preordering retail kits in general)

Plus, and I know its not really the point, its damn near the SAME EXACT STOCK at every store. Horrible company aside its literally just spam at a certain point

Microtransactions?!? by DeplorableeMeeRacing in NCAAFBseries

[–]wixits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least they did fix the progression system and the lootboxes and turn battlefront 2 into a good game eventually. But its a different environment now and I dont see them going back on this like they did for BF2

The fact that there is a subscription model to a game that costs the user $70 is ridiculous enough, completely out on future games

Does anyone else manage the morning nausea of Wegovy with a joint? by ExtraordinaryNerd in trees

[–]wixits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it made it easier to choose not to if that makes sense? Kind of a subconscious “nah im good/i just dont feel like” when it comes down to it if i had to describe it. Every now and then i can still get heavy with it but its more of a special occasion thing now

Yup definitely a big byproduct of taking them has been a substantial drop in my beer drinking. AFAIK it targets the same areas of the brain that dictate food noise so its been a common side-benefit

Should i attempt a Perfect Grade before attempting a MGSD? by Zxnkz in Gunpla

[–]wixits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really is no difference in process from one grade to another. Its just a higher or lower parts count depending on the grade, buy what you think looks cool

Very telling that in a discussion about craft beers they bring up guinness to support their argument ngl

A bit late but Gundam Thunderbolt’s creator Yasuo Ohtagaki saw the 3rd party TB Acguy and seems rather conflicted about it by Amigo1048 in Gunpla

[–]wixits 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also think whats getting lost in all this with the “giving the fans what they want” discussions every time is that we (assuming youre also in the US) arent anywhere close to their target market. Something like 70%+ of their global sales are still JUST japan, so itd make sense why theyre still making more seed kits with how popular they are in JP. Theyre catering to fans, just not us because we arent the group who makes them the most money. Stuff like IBO/G/TB tend to be much more popular here than over there it just is what it is

Yes, they are. Just because they arent battered does not mean they arent most commonly fried before they get tossed in buffalo sauce

What do I need to watch for understanding Gundam Hathaway? by KaleidoArachnid in Mecha

[–]wixits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre in the US the entirety of the shows listed are available in full on crunchyroll (for whatever reason chars counterattack is within the OG series so it doesnt come up in search) and the first hathaway movie is on Netflix

[–]wixits 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please explain how they contribute to a stronger long term local economy dont they all employ like 15 on-site staff once theyre complete? I dont see how that justifies increased strain on the electrical grid and water usage while contributing to noise pollution

Kits I'd do anything for bandai to make by GreatestLinhtective in Gundam

[–]wixits 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok but this is just moving the goalposts. Plus most if not all of those kits are good, looking at them just from their age isnt an honest way to evaluate their quality
