Today's thrift store scores!

The giant electronic "Starship Troopers" bug was only $6.50! The back left leg is missing the last 2", but I can sculpt a replacement and repaint it. I had one of these when they were first released over 2 decades ago, but had to sell it (along with a bunch of other items) when I had my car accident and was never able to replace it until now!

The 3 vinyl dinosaurs were in a bag for $8.50! The Brachiosaurus and Pentaceratops are in rough shape (paint scuffs all over) and need to be repainted, but the Mosasaurus is in perfect condition!

The Playmobile "Mars Mission" launch playset was only $8.50! It is missing a bunch of small parts that get added onto the superstructure, but is otherwise in excellent condition. You can even switch the payload between 2 different capsules. This will be utilized for some future project.

Yesterday, I received a response to my rant from Hasbro Germany. They said they always appreciate feedback - whether it's positive or negative, but constructive.

They can understand that less stock for the European market can lead to frustration.
They don't have any more of the Cantina Band and the Wookiee.

But they said they took the occasion to forward this feedback by fans to a higher instance.
This doesn't mean it changes anything to the better they said.

Wow, what a support. I want to give them my money, but they don't have enough products to meet demand. Thanks for nothing, Hasbro.

Today was just a strange day. I'm just glad I wasn't killed by a car on my bike. Crazy traffic with even crazier people.

Getting a refund for those 3 sets is not an option for the sellers. Received some rude answers and they claim they only make a $10 profit on those sets.
And they said if I don't accept their conditions they don't want to make further business with me.
Neither do I. I could just send them back and re-order them for 30 bucks less. Because the price dropped by the same sellers, which they claim to be custom fees and taxes.
But I don't send them back to China even if it's for free. It's just the way it is.
China is all about bloody business.

Wow, this is freaking gorgeous. Man, I could just watch this without even playing the game.

As I have gotten older I have found first person shooters like this give me horrible motion sickness, but man I am thinking about trying to set this up. It looks great.

Off to share.

Thanks for sharing it! Yes, I feel the same and watched footage of this game mod for about 2 hours yesterday. This puts all premium game developers to shame. Everything for Star Wars gaming under Di$ney and EA went fatally wrong. I miss the days of LucasArts.

Yeah, I'm not a good gamer, but get inspired a lot by those games. Whenever I play a videogame I'm busy exploring the maps for details and immediately want to go back to the workbench again.

I'm not a gamer. Never have been, but the color, clarity, animation and graphics in all 3 videos are fantastic!!

Same here, never had the time to play intensively. But the games I played have a place in my heart and still give me much nostalgia for half my life now.
The inspiration I got from the original Star Wars Battlefront games alone is endless and priceless.

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at all 3 videos! There are countless more and my brother is actually going to build a new computer to install this game and mod.
SQUAD was on sale on steam 'til April 22 for 17,99€. I was tempted to get it, but I'll wait for the right time. There will be another good deal down the road.
I just need to take care of myself to live a little longer. I mean what a time to be alive and who knows what's to come in the future? 3D printing and gaming for me if I have more time some day.

My brother made me aware of this a couple days ago. I'm watching gameplay footage of this mod made by fans who obviously really care about Star Wars.

If you didn't know Squad before like me, it's a war simulation that aims for maximum realism like Arma 3.
Now if you already have Squad, download this mod for free, gather your Squad of friends and have the Star Wars gaming experience of your life.
This mod shows how passionate fans are about a Battlefront III that we never got.

Galactic Contention shows how the Clone Wars must've actually felt.
If this footage makes you want to buy a gaming computer, don't blame me! lol
