I ended up trying one purchase from the main seller that keeps popping up. Just a single model, but if it doesn't ship it's an easy refund.

If you just search "contemptor" at weird hours you'll get the store.

So I just now realized my shipping address was wrong, after placing two orders. :downs:

I used the auto-fill thing and it put down the county I live in but not the city, and repeated the street address, so it reads like 123 Street Name, 123 Street Name, County, State, Zip. Here's hoping the order that already shipped (after processing for two goddamn weeks) makes it, and the other seller allows me to cancel the order or fix it. I seriously have no idea how I didn't catch that sooner. Probably because I used the mobile app to place the orders and wasn't paying attention.

On the upside, the one order that took two weeks to process and may not even make it here is in Cincinnati already! I'm not sure why it's in Ohio, or why DHL thinks it's going to Texas when pretty much the only part of my address that's correct is that it's going to California but okay..

Guys I'm never gonna get these itchy oddly-sized shirts.. :ohdear:

Those stores do still pop up, but they usually only last a day before they're taken down; any orders you make before its pulled should go through, but the stores are something you have to actively look for or know when they're popping up.

It used to be easier on Alibaba, but now that it's European Amazon and also getting traction in the US Games Workshop has been more active in getting them taken down. It's a little easier to get infinity miniatures if you're into those, though.

Unfortunately the world of recasters is a bit more complicated than just buying off AliExpress but if you go to the Yoyhammer subreddit you should be able to find what you need.

It may not be an issue. I did the same thing for my first couple of orders. Everything showed up without issue for me.

I bought one of these a while back and the panels that look like they'd be plastic are foiled cardboard on some type of foam backing, and will probably not hold up to much use. Just a heads up to anyone thinking of buying one.

Browsing through games led me to discover this awesome name hack for a knockoff expansion to some popular game that I've never played.

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
Taking advantage of the anniversary sale, I did some shopping today, finishing up the gift card I bought just for the site's funds. I got some doofy refrigerator magnets, because that's just a fun cheap thing I collect (I got four jack o lanterns, and four cute ultraman themed ones), I got two of those fun magnetic silly putty sets, one for me and one for my son. I also got him a xenomorph necklace for less than a buck (he's really into Aliens right now for some reason), and for my mom's bday in July I got her one of those weather-glass thingies. She loves kitchsy desktop and garden stuff.

There's another fridge magnet store on there not participating I want to keep an eye on, they have like five or six retro horror/sci-fi movie poster magnets I want that are already cheaper than I'd buy them in local junk/novelty stores without any sale price, but I'd appreciate them cheaper.

EDIT: I've played with CAH with Crabs Adjust Humidity, it's pretty much a 1:1 expansion pack for the game, with the same tone, and identical font and format on the cards. They have a little orange colored logo in the corner of the cards, and that's the only difference. Good for adding variety to the game.

I uh, don't plan on eating any. Never tasted regular silly putty either. This stuff you can find tons of different sellers for, where the putty reacts to magnets, so you can pull it around into cool non-newtonian shapes. The kind I bought come with two eyeball magnets and a cube magnet, and I chose two different sparkly colors, green and orange. I'll let you know how well they work when they arrive.

Yeah it is actually pretty nice. The screen was hijacked off some old printer model so the aspect ratio isn't perfect, but I've put some hours into mine and it hasn't exploded yet and does pretty good for a clone console.

Some dudes YouTube Channel This Does Not Compute does a review and a teardown of it if you want to know more about the thing.

Aww, c'mon eat the Chinese mystery putty! :science: What harm could it do? Don't eat the magnets though. I hear that's bad news.




Edit: On second thought, I probably shouldn't be encouraging strangers to taste non-newtonian materials from China. Don't eat the mystery putty. I'll just have to get some myself. Then I can try to talk my least favorite relative into taste testing it for me!

Joann Fabrics has a massive 50% off sale starting tomorrow (the 30th) if anyone needs fabric or stuffing (or papercrafting tools or cutting mats like I do :)) Most stores even have a free shipping to your local store if you shop online, as well, and online has 'online only' items and discounts.

Thanks! Not quite what I'm looking for, but I'm definitely going to keep this in mind for when I need one or two good minis instead of a dozen lovely ones. Too bad this shop couldn't have those instead of 200 different types of Nazi soldiers in various garb.
