Just as easily as you can accidentally put a post in the wrong forum, CGC can accidentally swap labels. Call them up. When this happens they usually pay for the shipping, the relabeling and everything else to make it right.

Once of the things I noticed was how the ending of Season 3 Episode 5, "The Cost of Living" fit nicely in with how they wrapped up the series. In the episode when Eko dies, the look of contempt in smoke monster in the form of Yemi makes even more sense because he is not so much disgusted with Eko as he is disgusted that Eko made sacrifices for his brother that Jacob could never make for the Man in Black. The Man in Black feels betrayed by Jacob more than anything and this is a great foreshadowing as to what will come by season 6. Upon dying Eko is reunited with his brother during the most significant time period of their lives when they were simply two children playing soccer while still having their innocence. As they are reunited in death, once Eko dies, it is only then that they can move on. Remember how the Jack's dad explained it after Jack died. Some died before Jack and others died long after Jack, yet they all meet up with who was most important and then they move on together. Eko meets up with Yemi and then they move on. While maybe this is not what the writers intended at the time, it fits nicely with the ending.

"It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress." So, upon reading all the articles celebrating the ten year anniversary of the end of LOST, I decided to watch the whole thing. Now, I have to preface this thread by letting you know up front that I loved the ending. I felt like "I got it." I never needed to know who was shooting at Sawyer and Juliet and those that were left behind while on the outrigger or how the island became the way it did. There are some questions I always felt never needed to be answered. However, once I am finished watching this series again, (I am on 5:14), I will have seen this series for the fourth time. There are certain episodes that are just stunning pieces of television such as, "Walkabout" when we learn that Locke is paralyzed and "The Constant", when we see the Desmond Penny centric episode. Every time I watch this series I discover something new. So... if you want show some love...

Facebook groups. However, you are usually better off selling parts off and buying what you need. Most of the 'trades" I have seen usually end in butthurt.

Missed it by that much - one will pop up again one day... Good grab and give it a good home.

Just wondering and I do not want to fuel or start a rumor. By entering into a purchasing contract, might you be required to put them on the shelves on Tuesdays? I agree that it is best to put them out all at once but could DC force your hand here?

Oh there was a show this week.

It only took three months to get here... Lego had / has some severe supply chain problems. Once things open up some more I am going to redo my office. I wanted this on display and needed to get it before it was retired.

I heard he died. or he has a LOT of things going on in the last week and probably the next week or two as well. It’s one or the other...

The bigger takeaway from this is that CLink is checking out this thread to see what we are buying and from which auction houses. Sup' guys !

I didn’t want to jade anyone’s opinion. My initial thought was that the top half of the book was trimmed.

Very nice of you to do this - thank you

Looooooooong day sorry for ignoring my thread cross cut ?

Forgive me - I don’t understand what you mean...

Was scanning the ten books that I was about to send to Florida for an extended vacation when all of a sudden I got a weird feeling on one of the Crime Suspenstores 15... I am basing it on my perception that the bottom of the book is wider than the top. So... has it been trimmed? What do you think?

Bathroom is going a bit over budget... I am only sending ten. Maybe at the end of the year I will send another ten. It is costing $400 just to CGC to get them graded. 5 Raws and 5 CPRs Some cool things though... 6 Golden and Atomic Age / 4 Early Silvers... Grading contest to follow

This thread has gotten me to submit books... First stop... they are going to Lake Mary for sauna and relaxation.

They don't because they must choose not to keep track of such things in order to remain impartial to everyone and their uncle sending books in that they are pressing. Which reminds me... I have to send an order down to Florida. Finally get off my rear end and do it.

I disagree that Ford is the same as Indiana Jones and no one else is capable of filling the role. When they eventually recast, I will watch it.

Pressed or was it a straight resubmit? Never know. Ohhhhh I know it was pressed. Are you sure Karen? Are you absolutely sure?

You just gave me a terrible idea. There is a facebook group that I am a part of that lives breathes and dies Indiana Jones. I like it, but I am not pestering Harrison Ford outside of Target dressed like Indiana Jones to get him to sign a trinket, you know what I mean? I should ask one of the guys in the Plastic Crack thread that is good at customs to use a Pratt head from the Jurassic Park figures and custom fit it to an Indiana Jones figure and then post it in that group to say I discovered a mock up that Hasbro is shopping around for their Indiana Jones line. I am a terrible person.

I came across an article a little whiles back criticizing fan backlash over the nuke the fridge sequence. They stated it was no less believable than surviving a fall in the Himalayas on a raft, not drowning after tying yourself (as revealed in the comics) on a submarine or any of the hocus pocus religious related sequences such as a grail knight, fixing gunshots with holy water, or the sankara stones. I love the adventure aspects. For me, it does not have to end with Ford. I mean, Nimoy is iconic but Quinto made a damn well pretty good Spock.

Not eBay but laughable situation on Facebook. I advertised a LEGO set for $325 shipped. would you take $275 shipped? no would you take $300 shipped? sure - deal Are you sure you won’t take $275 shipped? not when we already agreed on $300 shipped. item just shipped out and now I’m waiting to get into Costco.
