Mog Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 ^^And the old standard: “Eat ramen for the whole month, while I pay off all the things I bought.”
borgified Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Ramen... Cheap, extra starchy dehydrated noodles in a package and could clog up your arteries. I prefer Udon or Soba to be honest and it's better tasting.
Mog Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 But are udon and soba inexpensive enough to help you offset your collectibles payments and debts? The whole eating ramen thing was a running joke back in the day for how some folks would afford to get all their Macross crack/goodies.
Sanity is Optional Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 With the slow down in macross releases, I've taken to buying nicer instant noodle packets.

I just remember eating crow back in those days.
Mog Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I mean, I like an occasional instant noodle (especially if I get to mix in an egg and sometimes some cabbage). But back in those days, I was able to save the funds for my “hobbies.” Who knew date nights with the future wifey and then diapers and formula would cut into the toy budget?! But back to that listing, where does “Get itch to make your own customs” fall in the list. Or does it take about 3 or 4 cycles before that step is added?
sqidd Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I like ramen. Mix it with tuna and a little mayo Always been a Kraft Mac N Cheese guy (with the powdered cheese) I’m too old to eat that stuff now though. At 49 I have to be real picky about what I eat if I'm going to perform physically like l’m 25-30. Bummer.

It's MASSIVE!!! And super cool. It's by far my favorite. It has that "artsy fartsy" thing going on. I'd almost go as far as to say beautiful. I took a short ride in the "Nolan" Batmobike (the Tumbler??? I can't remember if that's the name). One of those right place, right time, know the right people things. The "Nolan" BM was an amazing piece of machinery. It actually worked, drove, etc. And it wasn't scary like it was going to fall apart at any second. Most stuff like that is. Too bad they put the GM Performance Parts 350cu in crate engine in it. It should have a 600cu in big block...........with a blower! Edited January 28, 2021 by sqidd

The bubble can be removed perfectly from the card with acetone or nail polish remover and then glued back together. Since it was from a grocery store, it might not have been a repack and returned item.

I already have the white Audi spyder, so I almost overlooked it. @sh9000 - I don't think anyone would go to that much trouble for a .99 Hot Wheels this new in a random Kroger in a not great part of town...I'm gonna chalk it up to a COVID era factory error.

Expand Well, that’s pretty cool! I saw something like that once and I was on my way to checkout when I noticed signs that it was a swap out so I just left it at the counter. Really cool to see actual ones especially when the card back and the car inside are both desirable.
