  1. That's pretty much where I am landing. You gotta wonder what the second hand market will be like post Nov 12.
  2. I completely forgot to pickup my PS5 controller. I also remembered that I have no games for this new console. That said, is there any real benefit to owning a PS4 if you have a PS5?
  3. All this talk and no one posted one of the greatest comedic bits of the 21st century on the subject?
  4. I made a candy chute. Took me about an hour to build using a few things I had laying around the house and a PVC pipe. I'd call this my first no-plans "build". To make the stand it's just three studs (cut to needed length) and a PVC pipe. I painted the pipe dark brown and the "stand" black with spray paint. The sign is a scrap piece of plywood painted flat black with a chalk marker for text. The Xs and arrows are pieces of duct tape. My wife and I just hung outside playing Halloween music and greeted the few kids we saw.
  5. Thanks a lot everyone. @ChadoukenI didn't get any new tools but I did get a new weapon 😄. Since my birthday and anniversary are so close, I kinda get a "combo" of outings/gifts. We spent the weekend in Richmond at an AirBnB and did more of a home away from home. We were originally supposed to go to Disney, but I am not taking chance with that one. We did go out to one restaurant while we were up there. We wend to Bookbinders to celebrate. Had some delicious crab cakes and a Kona crusted filet. That food was great! That steak was cooked perfectly. It;s one of the few times I ate a meal slow to truly savor the moment.
  6. My birthday was earlier this week. My wife let me know she got it on Sunday and just arrived. We were supposed to go to Disney for our anniversary but COVID had other plans. The Galaxy's Edge Legacy Vader lightsaber. Compared to my 2005 Master Replicas FX (new unit on the right) The new one certainly feels better, but the older one has a louder speaker and is more responsive. When I tried to see how to make the speaker "better" I went down a rabbit hole. It's surprisingly simple if you've messed around with small electronics. Sometime later in the year I plan to upgrade the older one, build my own saber, and modify the new unit (in that order). I already drew up some plans to customize the case that the new saber came in.
  7. So the Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 1. Personally I felt it was a "filler" ep but established the quest. However, there is one canon busting moment that has people updating all the wikis 🤣
  8. I'm getting a little concerned for the movie line. There are a couple characters that I'd like to see in MP form such as: Sentinel Prime Blackout Bonecrusher Sideswipe The Wreckers Optimus Prime (AOE/TLK) Optimus Prime (Bumblebee) Given their recent clearance sales, I don't see anything past the first movie happening.
  9. The difference between the standard and Hypergun edition is 1 penny 🤣. I loved this title. Games like this I've been purchasing for the Switch instead of the PS4. As a side, I just started playing Dead Cells. This is my first Rogue title. I like it, but the complete restart element is something that will take some getting used to. What are you guys thoughts on My Friend Pedro?
  10. Post some pics. I'm sure it won't take long
  11. Anyone here going to participate? https://www.tfcon.com/tfcon-online-the-virtual-transformers-convention-october-24-25
  12. I sent this to my friends yesterday. They asked why I sent it to them. I mean what kind of friend would I be if I didn't. Sharing is caring 🤣
  13. What are your thoughts on Andras? I actually want that figure, but I could easily see Takara Tomy releasing Scourge in the very near future. MP-28 is the only figure in my MP collection that I truly want a redo for. All they gotta do is remake the chest.
  14. Why does it come up as Chocolate Brownies with an image search 🤣
  15. Going through Venture Bros and made my way through Season 4. I stopped watching at the beginning of that season. The finale is pure gold. My understanding is that it was done that way in case the show wasn't renewed. It could easily have been the series closer and I'd have been fine with it.
  16. Is it awesome yes . . . . is it good for you . . . . that's another story. I do admit that I'll take out a pint of cookie dough ice cream once in a month. Agreed. People gotta realize it's a lifestyle change in order to maintain the results. Just like gaining the weight, that inner tube around the waist didn't materialize overnight. It was a string of choices that placed it there. This is a project that I have on the list A tensegrity structure. You have isolated components held up by tension across the structure. It's more cool than practical.
  17. Believe me, this is honestly the key to better health. Granted it's more expensive, I buy one of those fruit trays from Lowes Foods once a week to give me that sweetness spike to avoid candy.
  18. Now is meat the only thing you gave up or were processed carbs also in the mix? I ask because usually the tired part comes about when you load up on carbs and starches. Eliminating those may have helped as well. On the flip side, I got a friend of mine who is talking about going all carnivore for a bit to drop body fat quickly (ketosis). These crazy fad diets only work short term. Told him that you are better off just eating in moderation and stop eating terrible food.
  19. I wonder how much of TR Blurr is in that one. Same here. I thing that figure is an example of taking G1 and improving upon it.
  20. Wave One of SS-86 will be available for pre-order at noon today!
