Yeah, I bought some NECA TMNT OG Movie figures through a similar avenue although not AE itself but almost certainly knockoffs. As well as some Amazing Tamaguchi that aren't quite as nice as the real ones.

I haven't been able to compare them to 100% legit ones at retail and I can post more pictures later but they've seemed...pretty good? Or at least acceptable enough where I felt like $20/each vs paying the obscene prices asked for seemed silly, especially as I got them out of nostalgia to mess with while on conference calls, not to be a COLLECTOR and possibly sell in the future and make a profit.

My dumb kids lost his bo staff within about 5 seconds of me opening it but quality is pretty good imo:

TS80/TS100 are great portable irons. For a desk iron these seem to be the cool thing now: https://a.aliexpress.com/_d9EEF4T

I bet you wouldn't be so cheery if you had the black plague.
For desktop use: I've seen the KSGER T12 pass by several times in this topic.
For (potential) mobile use, the options that pass by a lot are TS100 (10$ tips, lots of tips available, uses a 12-24V DC power supply) or TS80 / TS80P (20$ tips, only 4 types of tip available, USB-C). The main difference between TS80 and TS80P is that the last one can go to 30W instead of 18W, but only if you happen to have a USB PD power supply that has a 12V/30W output (most of the >20W supplies seem to do 9-15-20V)

It's spalted wood which is a fancy way of saying the wood has a fungus and was actively rotting before it was sliced into boards.

This sounds like one of those aliexpress scams where they send things to addresses that didn't order them so they can then post fake 5 star reviews, doesn't it? Wasn't there something like this but with hair ties a while back?

Or maybe it's the world's laziest biological warfare attack. No way to know.

Our puking dragon censer finally came in, along with a hundred cubic zirconia we got to be its hoard!



This thing is great. There's SO much smoke, and if the air is relatively still, it falls down onto the marble, making all kinds of cool effects. It then collects among the gems in the base like a ghostly puddle, and eventually pours out around them. It took over four months to get here, so you might just want to spend the extra $5 and get it somewhere more local.

There's warehouses for some items in Spain and in the UK. Don't know how you can tell if something is included. There also seems to be some remailing thing where Ali ships an item to the UK and it's repackaged and sent to you.

Be careful of what it’s sitting on. I got one of those incense burners except the one where the smoke rolls down the stairs and into pools and looks real cool. When it overflows the pools it stained the table. I think it was only certain incense cones it happened with but I ended up giving it away with a warning to stick it on a board or old plate or something.
