The movie has re-awakened me lol
Here’s where we’ve started. My trapjaw is original. The final orko is original. But most of everything is the origins line. Not going to lie, the new articulation vs the original figures is nice lol.
I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the g.1 Explorer
Just getting into the gravel scene
Life long MTBer / single track. Normal rides are either my Trek Marlin 5 or Marlin 6. What started as wanting something for gravel access roads with the kids, or greenways turned into finding one of the Ozark Trail G1 Explorers. Honestly, coming from my Trek to this bike, I was rather impressed for the price. First stop was taking it to my normal shop for the much needed “undo what the Walmart employee did” tune. I’ve put roughly 50 miles on this bike in 3 days lol. Now I’m down the rabbit hole of storage and bike packing accessories lol. Roast it, it’s fine. But it works. I do have plans for a better 1x drivetrain at least.
First amazfit experience
So i recently sold my Apple Watch Ultra because I wear mostly mechanical watches. I purchased the Helio strep for daily wear on my bicep. I also mountain bike and found it cumbersome to use the phone to track the ride so I wanted something “cheap” to wear while riding. I settled on the balance 2 for its look and features. I have to say, settling isn’t the right word. I have been throughly impressed. Amazfit is proof that premium fitness trackers don’t have to be 900-1200 dollars. Wearing it today because my strap is dead.
The customization is great. I use the android app on my tablet I use for my truck tunes. Needless to say these won’t be my only Amazfit products. Even on IOS I get as many features and notifications as I used to on my epix pro from Garmin. Except I can actually answer calls from the balance. These are great.
Need some help
Does anyone have a watch face matching the style of this one? I know there are some Garmin style faces out there, but I’m not finding one like this. I’ve been trying to get the font pngs correct for the last 3 hours in the maker And I’m over it lol. If no one does, I’ve not tried the android app yet for creating faces (my phone is iOS). Any help is appreciated
For those who were around and remember the 1977 Earlybird packaging and figures…
What was it like on Christmas opening a cardboard box with no figures? Did you start collecting after this or have some of you been collecting / buying / playing with the Kenner figures since their release? I’m curious to know what it was like between 77 and 83! Thanks! And keep posting! This sub is growing fast and strong! And it’s because of you all!
Jabba Display coming along nicely
Still looking to add another R2 for this display as well as a 3PO. The carbonite Han is from the 90s POTF line. Leia is actually a Stan Solo Customs
Picked them up today. I’ve used the quadlock mounting system on my MTB for a while. Just been using the stick on mounts for cases. Also picked up a 1in ball mount for my side by side.

I have a thing for orange. An even bigger thing for watches- mechanical and auto. This is week one of selling my Apple Watch Ultra 2 and going back to mechanical watches. This was the most recent pick up. It’s not much- but it’s always been a grail of sorts for me.
