Hobby Weekender 8/12/2018 – I think we accidentally stepped in December…

Hey All, going to call this thread officially closed at this point. As always feel free to keep posting until the next one’s up. I’ll post winners etc a bit later on 🙂

@limburger the system started in 2013…. and I actually did the math on cost. Because I needed a list for to see if a new release in V2 really is a new ship. (buy new ships, skip re-releases)

All in all it’s 1700 Euro for 5 years worth of miniatures.  30 Euro a month roughly.

Yeah…. I’m a sucker when it comes to Star Wars… don’t ask me how many copies of the movies I own… on VHS, DVD and Bluray. Well, back to work now!

Up, awake aaaand… late to the party. Well, it looks like it had to end sometime. I’m glad to put up the info I did when I could. Off to work I guess and check out mentally for a while.

Oh, an what kind of ridiculous nonsense are you talking about getting Big Ben back on the Hobby Hangout @sundancer ? All I can think of is the grandfather from the film “Death at a Funeral” at the end when he’s going off with “It’s all so ****ing green”. As I’ve mentioned to lancorz he’s got the spirit of a saint. Unfortunately its one that died under particularly unpleasant circumstances and seems to attract pain and suffering to him wherever he goes.

@horati0nosebl0wer you should have been with us in the chat that day… everyone held on to dear life (and their rear ends) because Big Ben derailed everything and I nearly cried laughing… it was one of a kind…

I’d love to jump in again with chats but for me its 0500 right when I’m heading out the door for work. I get back home ij the afternoon and rack out with a nap before starting into the Hangout. I definitely can see that there was much pain in derailing the stream as Original Ben kept the professional face going while Lance died.

@sundancer : does that include a copy of the pre-quel trilogy with all that god-awful acting and the new soon-to-be trilogy featuring Darth Emo ?

It’s like sand … it gets everywhere … 😉

I’m going to let pictures to the talking here. They are sort of in chronologically “when I bought them” order. Roughly.

[horati0nosebl0wer 19604xp 1]

@limburger … I don’t like the thought of sand anywhere near my tenders. Which reminds me of something I found hilarious regarding Dutch. I was looking for Aetztech etched brass ferns and was able to find them through the regular shop front of pkp-ro.de but found that they only have one sheet left. Off I went and found sceneryworkshop.nl and managed to get to the same product. Well, I amused myself with the thought, after stumbling through the linguistic barrier, that one’s winkelwagen is a shopping cart and not some sort of device powered by snails (a **peri**winkle wagon) or transportation for old people as described by a young child (a wrinkle wagon). Maybe a pre-bedtime beer helped this thought but I’m moved to think that the humor is obvious to even the stone cold sober.

@sundancer I’m glad that the Germans are kind enough to offer the silly English speaking types some sort of help in buying interesting things for this hobby. The only drawback is that it seems the holiday rush has seemed to kill their supply off.

I’m so glad that I’m able to connect with everyone here even if it is from far away. Nerds of a feather (or weirdos @woldenspoons ) flock together

@horati0nosebl0wer I’m not really sure what you are referring to? it’s way to early for me today…. it’s 8:15 am here and I’m allready 2 hours into my workday 😉

Edit: aaaah… now I get it… need to read more context XD

[limburger 21655xp 1]

@sundancer :that is *eh* dedication to a franchise. I understand why you paid 30 Euro / month for your Xwing addiction 😉

Do the German dubs improve Anakins ‘acting’ in the prequels ?

@horati0nosebl0wer You will laugh even more when you discover that we had a prime minister called Lubbers …  *grin*

[sundancer 42882xp 0]

@limburger no… no it didn’t… in fact JarJarDonks even got worse somehow…. :S

[woldenspoonsParticipant 3557xp 1]

@horati0nosebl0wer who you calling weird? Oh. Me. Story checks out. ?

[evilstu 15298xp 1]

@woldenspoons if you have the space I’d say hang on to the old game – I personally find that keep revisiting stuff that I had thought i’d moved on from. Sometime you need to revisit the classics 🙂

@sundancer wow I thought my collection was bad (ok, it is….). So you can watch Han shoot first, second and then simultaneously depending on the version you watch 🙂

Thanks for joining in all!

@evilstu and don’t forget that awful CGI Jabba in the hangar… 😉

[horati0nosebl0wer 19604xp 2]

Ok, the random logged in/out is irritating depending on how the system is feeling.

I’ll host @evilstu to let you and @mage take a breather. I’ve managed to be on top of posts from the time at work I’m provided unofficially.

Dropbear time should give you this heads up at a reasonable hour. As far as the rest of everybody in Europe this might be a good time to toss that out too.
