No. They released second and third round offers for people if someone else declined to proceed with their order, but it was always for…

Aaahhh, yes, the old Lego 'markup' like paying for design, licensing the IP, and non-slave labour.

Recently had a similar situation where I booked an aisle seat and a stranger was at the window. We thought we dodged a middle passenger…

They get on-sold by the pallet, usually to third parties who use them to stock refurb stores, and occasionally to random people. There's an…

Last country video store I ever went into was a desperate retail hellhole that stocked only three things: DVDs, durries, and Funko Pops.

You were driving too close, or would have had enough stopping distance. Yes, he slammed on his brakes, but people do this for reasons…

I get that you don't like this, but this is a complaint without merit. Sony made limited numbers of an anniversary product. No different…

Well, you can resort to eBay scalpers, but the retailer pre-orders are well and truly over. Sony never re-released the retro colourway…

I own a fair amount of dubious Ozito gear, but this takes the cake. There are similar [manual seed…

I've done it before. It had to be put through as a refund, then purchase in same transaction, but they were happy enough to do it.

$150 for 5 piece set is suspiciously cheap. Even a single pan from a 'chefy' brand like All-Clad is more than that. If you're looking for…

I had hybrid in an old rental and didn't like it. Some people swear they can't tell the difference from wood, but I absolutely could. It…

It's fine, but not exactly mind-blowing, and I'd struggle to pick this out from a blind taste test. Taste-wise, it's definitely not worth…

$179.61? 4.5k pieces? Pure delulu. This set is significantly larger than prior castles. There is a more reasonably-priced 3 in 1 Castle…

It's anecdotal, but anyone who's been over the years has invariably overheard more Aussie accents over the last 5 years. It officially…

While Japan's always had bad tourists, it's so, so much worse post-covid, and unfortunately, Aussies are over-represented. The devaluation…

This isn't a cost of living or crypto debate; stop shifting goalposts, and stick to your losing argument. You claimed, with confidence but…
