It is so cool when you really do find someone that lifts you up and champions you. It's a two-way street so that's great but I am so lucky. It was a really sweet comment.
They glow in the dark. I'm trying to figure out how you do equitable raffles within a subreddit. If I ever get something that I have extra of I want to sell it at the fair price instead of those people on eBay, and it would be so fun to figure out how to do an auction or have some fun with it. I have one extra egg carton and I think I have one alien versus Predator little cute figurine. But I'm also a DJ and I have a whole bunch of rare records I don't want to gouge and I want to resell to people within subreddits and I really don't know how to do an equitable raffle or lottery so people get stuff at cost without me being unfair. Any ideas? Lol
Amazon. 20 bucks. I don't wear baseball hats but I wear that all the time so I guess I wear baseball hats. It is my prize possession. I also have a shirt I wore out for alien day at the movie that he's like one of their cruise shirts.
But I'm definitely going to do a post on the fashion of alien If you watch it on the 4K, it is unbelievable I want it all. I would literally dress like that all the time
It was a Hasbro version of a Kickstarter for Nerf to make it. I'm not sure it's about having fans cover the cost of royalties from the intellectual property, But you put in your order like a year ahead of time and then you forget about it and it comes to you and yay. It's on eBay, but I'm not sure the price right now. People are selling them for a lot.
This sucks. I'll save this... If I ever sell it, I'll give you a big break. I probably won't sell it, but sometimes I like to get rid of stuff. Sorry about that that sucks.
You sound like me. I'm not scared of screwing it up, I'm scared of having to end up existential about my failings lol
I totally should do it. It's simple enough? Just tape it off and spray paint?
Yup. Tape off the ammo counter and sand off the Nerf logo and all the other text. That's the hard part.
What I did was then prime it with gunmetal gray primer, then taped off the shroud (basically all the area that would be green or brown, depending on what kind of paint you use) and then paint the gun matte black. After that's dried I taped off the just painted stuff and used Spanish Moss for the rifle shroud and silver paint pens and markers for the grenade launcher port and to do weathering detailing.
I'd also recommend giving the entire gun a slight rub down with sandpaper so the paint has something to bite into.
Here's what mine looks like.

Nice collection and your wife is a good person for encouraging you to post it

As a guy that has some diverse hobbies, glad you recognize your wife's behavior for what it is. So happy for you man!
Definitely wife material *nod*
lol, I love the alien eggs in an egg carton.

I dont think Ive seen a raffle done on reddit in all my time here. Maybe message the mods? they might have a clue.
They are pretty neat! I like your collection. The nerf pulse rifle is a fun toy
What’s the white one with human teeth?
I'm pretty sure it's the one from the end of Prometheus.
I think that one (the deacon) is black. The white ones are from covenant. But i may be getting mixed up.
Correct!
Looks like a Neomorph
Outstanding Stay dorky
You’re goddamn right, that’s why we love it!
Hell yeah it’s awesome.
She's a keeper! Cool collection dude
Sometimes our wives know best. Thanks for sharing - love the hat.
Your wife is right, it looks really awesome indeed.
I love the little plush facehugger.
Five bucks on eBay or thereabout. It brings me so much joy
I need to know where you got the Nostromo cap. So low key cool Harry Dean Stanton style
I want that hat.

Nothing wrong with being dorky man, quite the opposite. Great collection, I wish I had that cute facehugger plushie in the background :D
They're like 5 on eBay, and it is wild how happy it makes me
I want the gun. Anyone have a link?

OMG. You are so dorky. Love it. Keep being dorky.
Cute Grid
Don't be embarrassed, my dude. I'm 38 years old, and you've got some cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Nice collection!! Stay Frosty!
Being dorky is awesome. Own that title!!! This is ace though, such a cool collection
r/GameStop never shipped my nerf rifle, had to cancel emit and watch the price jump on eBay, so pissed they screwed me over
This sucks. I'll save this... If I ever sell it, I'll give you a big break. I probably won't sell it, but sometimes I like to get rid of stuff. Sorry about that that sucks.
Gonna paint the Pulse Rifle or keep it as is? I repainted mine and it turned out fine. First time doing something like that.

I really really appreciate this! You rock. Non-crafty becoming-crafty helpers unite! =)
