(A Little) Overkill By Brick

Mike T. dropped the paper off he had due for class last night and skipped the session, heading back in time to pick up the brick I'd pre-ordered through him (and the case his three clix-playing friends ordered through him) last night, so that was a pleasant surprise this morning. (Almost the only pleasant surprise of the day, as Friday has been bringing a workday worse than a Monday.)

Since my case (see previous entry) left me with a complete set, this one was bought both to get me the receipt I needed to be able to send away for the cosmic Doom piece, but also in search of more alien generics and any potentially useful tradeables.

Using the same format as before, here's the brick:

001 - R Kree Warrior 1
002 - E Kree Captain 1

005 - E Skrull Warrior 2

082 - R Thor 1

Uniques
091 - U Super Skrull 1
092 - U Korvac 1
094 - U Binary 1

Bystanders

B005 - Shalla-Bal 1
B006 - Forbush Man 2

BFC
Damage Control 2
Alpha Strike 1
Extraordinary Day 1

Feats
Tactics 1
Whirlwind 1

Objects
Satellite 2

Curiously, this brick only had three uniques. Hmmm. Under some other circumstance I'd likely have been disappointed at that, but most of the commons slots gave me new alien forces and the rare spots also brought me vets Hyperion and Thor, which should be useful for trades down the line.

And that should do it for me aside from whatever I pull in upcoming sealed matches... and getting the time to actually look these over well.

Insurance Company-Driven Propaganda Storm It's almost heartening to see them go to these lengths - they're getting a little scared - though I worry how many wingnut media outlets will reference the report as if it's substantive..? ( From the Washington Post ) The Insurance Industry's Deceptive Report by Ezra Klein In the hallowed tradition of the tobacco and energy industries, the health insurance industry has commissioned a report (pdf) projecting doom and despair for those who seek to reform its business practices. The report was farmed out to the consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has something of a history with this sort of thing: In the early-'90s, the tobacco industry commissioned PWC to estimate the economic devastation that would result from a tax on tobacco. The report was later analyzed by the Arthur Andersen Economic Consulting group, which concluded that "the cumulative effect of PW’s methods … is to produce patently unreliable results.&qu

The Tease of Things I Don't Need

     The lure of things we don't need, could easily find greater needs to apply the cash to, and which we may not even have the space for, is a very First(ish) World Problem, to be sure.        HasLabs is a special projects division of Hasbro, that occasionally pitches large and/or elaborate items - oversized figures and/or vehicles - essentially crowdfunding each project. They set the price, and a funding line - the number of people who need to pledge to buy one (or more -- up to five) at the announced price, then collect the names and information of interested parties for a period of 45 days. Once the number of pledged buys hits the target, the project is greenlit.      A couple years ago there was a HasLabs special build project aiming to fund a production run for an oversized (32" tall), elaborately-articulated action figure of Marvel comics' Devourer of Worlds: Galactus. Back on July 18, 2021 I posted a piece on the project, which at the time was just two days

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch
