My son's been obsessed with Smash Bros lately, so when he asked me to play I felt a little confident, since I was good at it when it was on the gamecube. Needless to say, he kicked my behind, then we played online and strangers kicked my behind. He showed me videos on how to improve. Two minutes into the video, I felt the same way as you. I'll stick to Tetris from now on.

Last couple of days... Spring Lantern Festival Gingerbread House A used lot of small vintage city sets I remember having the TV van as a kid, so I had to get that one again.

I decided that I can't play current games anymore. I'll stick with what I know and get off my lawn.

We don’t talk about what my son and I spend on FortNite monthly. I’m horrible at it but it’s still a blast to play with him. Plus I’m caught up in the narrative.

Lol

this reply cracked me up. OP was trying to figure out how to deal with a scammer and posted a hypothetical question.

6986 Mission Commander. Baddass set. Surprisingly, the ship holds up well when swooshing.

anything parents can do to promote an environment that both child and parent genuinely enjoy...without either side feeling "burdened to do it"...is absolutely critical for any family. The divide between the kids and parents is biologically and socially started in pre-teens...anything that can help relate will be useful or maybe crucial down the road...

The below article might explain why, towards the end of the series, things got a bit more jumbled. There was originally 10 episodes planned. However, due to the pandemic and edits, they were unable to add in stuff they wanted like Dr. Strange as Cumberbatch was in New Zealand during the pandemic and they didn't want to Green Screen him in - which I appreciate. https://screenrant.com/wandavision-episode-count-10-plan-change-original/

I felt that as more things got revealed the more the wheels started coming off the wagon. I was really into it the first 4 episodes , the show’s style was refreshing and the mystery behind the event was intriguing . The last episode was pretty generic and are you seriously going to compare enslaving thousands of civilians to losing a love one in real life and 3 imaginary people ! Still trying to understand the logic behind Rambo’s statement

1. Looking at today's game streamers, a 20 year old me would have given them a run for their money.. 2. I found out I no longer have the patience or the time to train to be a competent gamer (forget competitive) 😅

Installed my new TP-Link M9 Plus Mesh WiFi system, and I'm happy to report that we've had a stable internet connection for 48 hours now…I think we're back in business! Fingers crossed there's not raptor lurking behind me...

So close. Too bad can’t buy more

No kidding, huh. I'm going to head back there again shortly. Too good to pass up.

I posted the link earlier, in the past I think they used stonewars or promobrick's list. Don't recall them having their own retirement lists though.

I have for the SDCC figures but yeah, I never win stuff like that, so I don't even know why I bother.

You aren't required to remove the extra label

Use a blank label and cover the UPC. You don't want someone/something at Amazon to accidentally scan the wrong label/code. That would mean what you sent in doesn't match what was supposed to be received and you will probably end up in inventory reconciliation hell with Seller Support, especially for those items where Amazon won't simply accept the manufacturer UPC and wanted you to use an Amazon code.

You definitely need to cover the UPC. But, to the other comment above, you can use a hairdryer or, even better, a heat gun to get them off. Also, once you get tired of the Avery labels in your normal printer, you'll be much happier with a label printer. There are plenty out there, but I use the Dymo 450 Turbo.

Adult toy collecting is growing and has no visible signs of contracting. I've felt if GameStop or something like a TRUs took on that demographic and modeled some of there business to that group, they could make gains that Amazons cant. Handling items with care instead of throwing them in a shipper, is not something Amazon will soon change. After the past few years without a dedicated toy store, and seeing how most of the big box stores around me have started limiting the items they have on hand, I would welcome a new/old dedicated store. I dont care who owns it, I just want a damn toy store again.

That was a hell of a long hold

I tried looking for a thread to place this in but couldn't find an appropriate one. So if the mods know of a better thread for this, please relocate it. I don't know anything about Fx Bricks, I just thought this might be useful for those with 9V LEGO train systems. I came across a video for Fx Bricks re-producing LEGO's 9V metal train track (100% LEGO compatible) that just began March 1, 2021. They mention LEGO in their advertising and website quite extensively. Technically this falls into a knock-off brand but they are producing something that LEGO discontinued many years ago and they look to be adding to the options for 9V track that LEGO never produced (including seven different radii of curves). I thought those of you who have 9V track systems might be interested since the track is getting harder to find. https://www.fxbricks.com/fxtrack/

That video was enjoyable to watch - Great LEGO Train history told by someone who seems to be truly passionate, and excited about what the company is going to be able to create.

My assumption is that a paid Lego designer is building one now. Disney is all about the cash and they get a pretty hefty fee for the SW license. I would be surprised if we don't have one at Christmas. Mando has been the best thing for the brand in probably 10 years for the fan base.

They have made lesser ships into UCS sets though. And this was a major focal point to the re-invigoration of Star Wars. It should happen some day, but who knows when.

I've reached out to the IRS and to my state comptroller. Neither received anything from PayPal for 2020. The did confirm they received my other expected 1099's. They have unlimited time to file the 1099-K, but with increasing penalties.

Rumors of a end 2021 retirement. https://www.brickfanatics.com/you-dont-have-long-left-to-buy-lego-star-wars-75292-the-mandalorian-bounty-hunter-transport/

This excites me but damn that track is pricey.

I was hoping Wanda would be the big bad wolf without any kind of redemption. The character snapped due to many tragic events in her life and there was no going back . Ah well , it was fun and a good escape, on to the next one

If you want critical, watch Mauler's review. It is too much criticism for my taste as several things he pointed out could have been easily explained within the context of the show. I usually like his takes but I think he was too hard on a popcorn flick / series like this. At the end of the day, the question should be "and the moral of the story is... ?". If you honestly try to answer that question then Wandavision crumbles pretty easily

I loved the critical drinker review for this . Touched perfectly on many themes and issues that my wife and I discussed as we watched. Don’t think I’d have much to say on top of that . .

Hmm, last 3 returns haven't had funds held due to a request. Probably a glitch but maybe a glimmer of hope they drop that ****...

Santa Claus's house was overly hoarded, and it still doing well.

They’re shipping these now. But honestly unless it retires in August it’s going to be overly hoarded.

Thanks for the reminder! I have two sets and a couple of Target ones extra. It's been so long, I can't even remember which ones were Target and which ones were Walmart.

It gives me an excuse to wear Doc Brown’s 2015 costume around town twice a year on Sunday mornings shouting “Great Scott!” without looking like an idiot. Am I right?!?

You can expense the shipping costs on Schedule C.

wth. you know, i had 3d/augmented reality when i was a kid back in the 80's. it was called lego

Oh great another self-loathing superbeing. It would be easier if he can just drink himself to oblivion like the rest of humanity Wanda's Vision is part of mind stone that is in Wanda. She can most likely extract it and put it in New Vision's head to bring the old Vision back. But, what if the New Vision meets a new lover while sorting things out, say a lonely Sentinel or MODOK or Fin Fang Foom ? (He is done with female humans ) Is it fair for his new lover to bring the old Vision back? Is it fair for New Vision? I do not think this would be too complicated of a storyline for MCU. Soap operas have been doing the mind transfer/ resurrection storylines for decades I just want to see cosmic fights between Scarlet Witch vs Fin Fang Foom for Vision's love

They accidently sent me a duck print instead of the coin.
