i'm sure they'll discount some junk... just to clear out stuff that ain't moving... but i'm betting they take the desired items to other stores!





at the end of this article you can see the stores that are closing:

Not on there. Good!

Three in Oklahoma are closing but not the one in OKC that I usually go to. I bet they do just move stuff to the stores that aren't closing.

I just bought a Star Trek Pinball Machine

You were trying to talk yourself out of that for a while here....

We had a secret betting pool to see if you would cave in or not...

I bet you would......

That was a safe bet. I really was trying to talk myself out of it, but I found one for a deal that was too good to pass up. The good news is that this will make me start selling stuff that I've been meaning to get rid of to help pay it off.

I always wanted a full size pinball machine also....

The one I remember Best was called Carnival....and it was awesome!

There are quite a few pinball games I like to play, but the ST: TNG is my jammie jam.

 

[xipotec]

Hahaha! I played it recently at a bar/arcade that are now popping up around here..
It’s a classic ...

I can't imagine having to date now. My patience level for ******** and games is zero so each date would probably last two minutes before I just got up and left.

It seems like it’s 99.9999% ******** and games, and, like, .0001% ****ing.

I was a shut in as well. Incredibly socially awkward. I never went outside when I got into my teens. I was chubby too. It's never too late to get into shape. I did that after meeting my wife strangely

Yeah, like I said in the fitness thread, I lost about 100 lbs from mid-2016 through last year and it kind of gave me the confidence to start living my life a bit more...or doing a ****ty job of trying, at least, I think I fell off the wagon a bit and gained back a few lbs over the holidays, but I’m getting back into it now. Hitting your goal weight in the New Year doesn’t seem quite as daunting when you’re only 10 to 20 lbs away.

You just described my own teen years.
(looks oft into distance remembering, eyes well up with tears, starts sobbing uncontrollably).

Yeah, it was a really weird time for me. My mom had a lot of issues and they manifested themselves in hoarding, which caused a lot of other problems to arise, as well. I kind of used that as my outlet to victimize myself, though. I’d say “I can’t do anything because...” and hole up in my room all day and try to escape into the television. Naturally, there isn’t much movement in doing that, so, when I finally left, it kind of shocked me when the pounds started shedding the more I walked my dog.

yeah... if i had to put up with all the i'm rockin' a selfie, over sensitive, self entitled "today" mentality with trying to date... i'd be putting a 9mm in my mouth on a daily basis. dunno how you crazy kids do it!?!?

9 mms are too expensive. A belt’s a good alternative, but we’re also millennials who don’t like being uncomfortable, so, we’re like “too tight!” “Too tight!” and thus begins the cycle all over again.

It's definitely a rough venture. There's still a lot of pressure for people to get married, yet that's the last thing people should do. With today's entitlement, I see a lot of kids whose parents are emotionally abusive due to the parents battling each other over who's right, etc. I'd probably be single with 6 cats and a big dog if I had to date today.

I feel zero pressure to get married. I mean, I’ve got to be honest, but, at 22, I’m about as cynical and jaded as a thrice divorced 55-year old. I pretty much hold to the conviction that love is dead and the best I can hope for is a series of casual encounters with random women before my personality sends them running for the hills...and my chances of that are pretty slim, as it stands, soooo, yeah...

I was relieved to see that my local TRU wasn’t on the list.

...and congrats on the Trek pinball machine, Zod! You finally did it!

Thanks! I know I'm going to end up spending every lunch at home playing it. I might have to buy my wife some noise-cancelling headphones that she can wear while she's asleep.

Although I think most have a volume control, the sheer mechanics make them very loud.....

That fee ball pop alone make me jump everytime.

Need pics of that bad boy when it’s set up.

Finally making some headway with my sword of omens! GD it took forever with sanding and filling to get it to look seamless for the most part. Getting into the final work now. Had to drill out the handle for the gemstones and working on the paint right now. Going to be pretty sick when it’s all done!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Damn you do some excellent work.

 

[Shawpaw]

There’s nothing he can’t do. I swear to it.

 

[Pro Design]

Thx boys!

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'm dying to see that sword completed. It looks amazing even unfinished.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

HS isn't perfect, but he looks great with the glasses. There's a ton of accessories so I'm sure he'll be over $250.

 

[xipotec]

Hot toys?? Crap....that’s a figure added to my list...looks great.

i've been wanting a lobby neo for a long time... glad to see this is coming to light! i had heard there was some question on whether it was gonna actually happen or not...

I saw that same post the other day. Something about HT saying there may be a question with the license? Guess not.
