    K I gotta ask, how many of you guys have bought off Mercari? I was looking to add more to my Retro console collection, typed in a few just for giggles to see what they come up with cause ebay is charging an arm and a leg for a few I have interest on......and the prices are super duper lower, in some cases 50-60% difference in price. Course I'm reading the descriptions to be very careful I'm not gonna end up with a picture of a Neo-Geo CD or something along those lines. 

    BUt how was the experience? did you get what you bought and all that jazz? 

    i brought off them and no issues. just protect yourself with a good credit card as back up.

    Fingers crossed.  It's a 2022 Taycan with 13k miles, previous owner leased it and turned it back in when he/she was done.  $61k, basically half what a new one goes for in my area.  The catch is that the interest rates on used cars right now are terrible, so if I buy it I have to wait until some CDs we have mature in a month or two and borrow as little as possible.  Possibly not borrow at all, after I sell my Maxima.

    Then instead of playing Forza Horizon 5 on max settings, I'll just drive around in it and try to remember that setting a high score on a speed trap isn't appropriate for real life.

    nice, my friend's husband got a 2024 model in Gentian Blue Metallic with the crazy Panoramic Roof with Variable Light Control option and everything stacked on it.

    He wanted some beige/sand color but his wife (my friend) said pick a less old fashioned color and he randomly picked blue.  Beautiful car. 

    Make sure to put an autobot emblem on it and kill the resale price^_^

    It is... Assuming that you could get it close to Nvidia's announced pricing. I guess my folly is believing that would be possible.

    I'd definitely recommend keep shopping for the laptop though and see if something you end up purchasing can double as a desktop replacement for the time being to save some money.

    I haven't watched any of the reviews yet but I did see Jayz2C's earlier vid about the "leaked" Microcenter and Best Buy MSRP launch prices. Yeah...🤦‍♂️

    Don't be hold your breath 'sweetie...

    For price to performance...not really. Seeing as there is only 1 card that is even close to MSRP with the highest being near the 5080 FE pricing, is it really a better value?

    :good:

    That looks so good even 20+ years later.

    And yet Bandai still won't give us a DX VF-1A Hikaru despite being a simple color swap.

    Bandai also needs to take notes on what just the right amount of tampo printing looks like. And Arcadia needs to make all their releases "premium finish" because a sticker sheet is pretty lame for toys costing north of 30-40k yen.

    That Yamato looks amazing, Bandai smears tampo on like a girl with too much makeup.

    From the pics posted above, it doesn't seem to have the ghost drones.

    Just seems to be a bare bones release with the Sv-262Hs and stand only.

    ah got it. I figured since Alto 25F has been combined with supers and Ozma with armor since p-bandai exclusive attachments have not been offered since the WWM releases

    i figured if they are going to offer the ghosts again in a combined package for US/International customers. I wonder if the ghost will ever be released again in another package.

    @Graham and anyone using PS5 as a 4K player for first time: I came to realize after a few days, Sony engages the noise reduction by default and it needs to be turned off. 

    It's a hard to find menu option that's only available only when you play a disc. :wacko: 

    There's a few other settings on the PS5 that need to be changed in the same menu.

    link: Here's how to turn it off. 

    Hope it helps someone.
