I have given up writing reviews positive or negative because of this.

some of this is the facebook mentality. YOU'RE EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US, AND AGAINST US ALWAYS FAILS.

seriously though, i vaguely remember the other time this happened, but trying to remember the company. iirc, there was a time that it happened with diode dynamics, and at least one time with fortune auto...

Hey, for a person who counts his blessings each morning that he's woken up alive, buying cheap makes sense.

Today I learned that you can break physics using "proprietary charging algorithms." Or some shit like that according to the sales guy that talked my ear off.

No, Legos fall apart after you use them. At least that's what happened when I made a Lego gun to shoot my brothers with.

My experience with Legos is that once they are together you almost need explosives to get them apart.
You must have had

My dad is currently doing the Saturn V kit (I think) and he was even thinking of using super glue to get a couple pieces to not fall apart, lol.
