    FWIW, sounds like it might be too late, but I've never had Walmart give me a hard time with price matching the price I see online. I'll pull it up on my phone in store and say "sorry, they're this price online, can you price match it?" Had to buy some cheap routers for work yesterday, $50 in store, $33 online, no issues.

    I tried that, but they asked for proof. Couldn't pull up a store that had the sale and silently cursed my lack of foresight to screenshot the ad

    Bummer, sorry. Pullman WA 99163 is still showing them cheap if anyone else sees this and needs the good price.

    The 3D printer just got a couple of workstations for when the Advent calendar minifigs exhaust their vacation hours.

    The time has come for Valkyrie to be retired. Built in 2020, she was my first MOC after getting back into Lego and was the starting point for several techniques I'm still using in newer models. She's been out of the display rotation for a little over a year and it's time her parts went toward new MOCs.

    Let the teardown begin!

    I really slacked on the Lego city advent updates....

    Here is a rundown.

    Hockey player on the pond, ice sculptor, gamer in one house, cat lady in another. Candle carrying lamplighter and a skiing snowman and snowboarding Mrs Claus....
    PXL_20231223_201650006.jpg

    Santa sleigh and a trailer showed up the past two days....

    Three hours at the bench and Valkyrie is gone. Time for final sorting, then to start gathering parts for Peregrine.

    I am f—king digging where this is going. Looks menacing, and I think that was part of the intent. Rad build.
