What a great time in Manual Antonio. My Airbnb was basically on the border of the park. Probably less than 50 meters to the park entrance. Every day I hung out with monkeys, watched basilisks run across the water, and saw some amazing di̶n̶o̶s̶a̶u̶r̶s̶ birds. At one point I had a family of white tail deer within 10 feet of me, a black iguana within 5 feet of me, and a capuchin monkey within three feet of me. The photos of the capuchin monkey you see are not zoomed in. She ditched her troop and crossed the creek to hang out. I am in absolute awe at their intelligence and emotional ability. Her troop kept moving and when she realized they had left her, she got noticeably upset at not being able to find them. She kept looking from me to the jungle. Eventually I saw one of the babies playing in the stop of the palm. I pointed them out to her and she looked distraught about how far away they were. Then she sat on the rock next to where I was standing and clapped her hands at me. Clearly she thought I owed her something for her time and wasn't happy when I wasn't going to give her anything. It was the most amazing experience of my life with an animal, and I've befriended an elephant. The squirrel monkeys would come by my apartment every afternoon. I would walk around the corner and into the jungle, and we would just watch each other watching each other. And they stayed there playing and watching until I would leave. Then they'd continue their patrol of searching for food and avoiding capuchin.
I went to Costa Rica for the people, the culture, and the animals and everything exceeded my expectations. Ticos are amazing people. Kind and friendly. Everyone has jokes and you or someone in your group is probably going to be the butt of one. It's like an entire country of dads. They're hilarious and I love them. Did I mention kind? My flight home got canceled because of storms in Dallas. When I pulled up a day late to return the car, I told the guy what happened and that I was told to just drop it off and they'll charge me an additional day. Not a problem. He said that he saw a $45 charge for the extra day, which would be $51 with taxes or fees or whatever. And my guy went in and put a $45 credit on my bill and wiped out the charge. I love that dude.
Shout out to the waiter at El Sitio in Cartago who refused to serve me an Imperial until I pronounced it right.
Honestly by the end of the trip it felt like home. I was acclimated to the heat, comfortable driving and kept thinking about whether I could afford to retire there on a meager income.
Some tips or thoughts for other people going.
The tap water is safe and delicious. Don't go down there and waste money to create a bunch of plastic trash. When you ask for water in a restaurant or soda, ask for "un vaso con aqua" otherwise they're probably going to bring you a bottled water because you're a tourist.
You always hear, "It's expensive there." No it's not. This is coming from privileged gringos who think because the people are poor, they should be able to eat and travel dirt cheap. You will spend far more staying in a US city for a week than you will in Costa Rica. The expense of Costa Rica is mostly upfront. Airfare, hotels/airbnbs, and transportation are the biggest expenses. Even then. I got very nice king hotel suites for under $150 in San Jose. The same or less than you'd expect to pay here in the States. Once you're in country, what you spend is on you. You can go on $200 excursions. Or you can take cheaper tours and chill. You can go eat breakfast at an upscale restaurant and pay 14,000 - 20,000 colones. Or you can go to a soda and pay 6,000. It's all up to you. I went down with $1700 to spend, and even with the added cost from a flight cancelation, I came back with over $500. And honestly I could have come back with more, but some opportunities came up that I didn't want to say no to.
Driving in CR. If you've driven in other Latin American countries then you might be in for a shock. It's a lot more like driving in the US than some place like Ecuador. Traffic in San Jose is insane, but manageable. I don't get the complaints some make about the roads. Most tourists are going to be driving on highways that are pretty well maintained. Even the back roads in and around pueblos aren't bad. They're just unpaved gravel with the no more potholes than you'd expect on any dirt road in the US. You can drive at night in the city and around tourist areas. Don't try and drive outside of those areas at night. Costa Rica is dark like no place else I've been. I don't even remember seeing the stars there. It's definitely not safe. If you've never driven in Latin America, you'll do ok, but the traffic in SJ may be a bit much. Unless you've driven on around some plafe like LA/Baltimore/DC at rush hour. Then you kind of know what to expect.
Converting money to USD. Too easy. Replace the comma with a decimal and double the number. 10,000 colones is $20.00.
Speaking to people. A lot of people know English. Especially most of the people you'll interact with. I know enough Spanish to get myself around, but it's too easy to just say "hablo un poco español," and everyone will be happy to try and help. Just pull out your translation app and you're good. I also found that Ticos were happy to help me with my spanish and many had questions about English they wanted to ask. I didn't know how badly I wanted someone to ask me to define "cocky" until Chad at Donde Alex asked me.
Go to restaurants when they aren't crowded. These places can get busy, and going when they're slow is a totally different experience. Like I said, Ticos are awesome people and interacting with the waiters, cooks, and the souvenir vendors on my way to the beach were some of the best times I had there.
Go visit. Have fun. Interact with the people there. And no preocupados. Todo está bien en Costa Rica. Pura vida✌️and muchas gracias to all the Ticos and Ticas who made my trip special.

This is not sponsored in any way and I do not get any kickbacks or points for sharing (I wish I did). I posted something similar a month ago and didn't think this deal would come up again. I fly in / fly out for work with all airlines and spend an awful amount of time on their websites. AirCanada has stupid cheap domestic flights booked in and out of Atlantic Canada this weekend as part of a sale with promo code: QFPAYTT1 . In the last 10 years I've never seen Air Canada or Westjet offer a distance like this for less. It seems like they're trying to kill off Porter Airlines, but in the short term it's one hell of a deal! Moncton to Toronto is currently down to $130 CAD LOL

Edit: Of course I fucked up the title. Lol. Is the Reverse Uno Upon Us?*
Hello again, Apes.
I have gotten a solid 4 hours of sleep and am ready to keep plugging along.
Disclaimer: Nothing of which I discuss is financial advice and not indicative of what you should do with your money or investments. Make your own decisions. I have no idea what I am talking about.
Link to Part I of my little write-up, recommended that you read that first: https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/1cvo4hw/theories_on_theories_assessing_the_potential/
TL;DR for Part I: After 3+ years of working in near silence, Gamestop has dropped a reverse uno time-bomb nuke on shorts, and I don't believe we have fully comprehended just how big and effective of a nuke it will be. They finally released their plans to end the abusive short-selling once and for all... I believe the details in the filings have the answers. Need more eyes. We just need to HODL and let RC & Team work their magic. This was precisely timed and will be executed precisely. I believe they are about to throw the whole kitchen sink at em. Shorts r truly fuk. To be continued.
TL;DR for Part II: Although you should really read through this to get super jacked...Predicition: Gamestop will lay down the reverse uno... the company will protect its shareholders through a slew of new, private, non-dilutive security offerings that we get first dibs on, and that are backed by our current/future holdings. Cash/non-cash dividends from the proceeds of the sale of those securities (units) are on the table. Thus, forcing shorts to either pay or close. MOASS is inevitable.
Many Apes have stepped up to begin analyzing these filings. Thank you! The goal with my analysis is to continue to educate Apes on what all this jargon means, shine more light on the specificities of the filings and to speculate (for fun) as to what I think Gamestop is going to do based on the specificities. In the first part, I discussed Book Entry Securities issued via the DTC (the stock we all know and love), Preferred Stock (the juicy and scare new stock on the block), and the mysterious "Preferred Stock Depositary" (PSD) and its proposed role in the issuance and management of Gamestop's preferred stock to Apes worldwide, keeping it away from abusive short sellers and directly in the hands of Apes.
In my first part, I speculated that the unnamed PSD would likely be computershare. But the more I think about it, the more I am unsure of that. And maybe that is why it is unnamed as of yet. Many Apes from different parts of the world have been unable to DRS, so that means they have been unable to access/use Computershare to hold/manage their shares and the DTC shit the bed one too many times when they committed international securities fraud on the splividend. So, I am thinking its possible that Gamestop secures another entity with more accessibility worldwide, or perhaps is even in the process of creating their own depositary for their newly-issued securities (dare I say, units?), to manage their "Global Securities" (a term they use in the filings).

Tory vs. Tary

Chat GPT: In the context of stocks, both “depository” and “depositary” refer to entities that hold securities, but they serve different functions:

• A Depository is a facility or an institution that holds securities (like stocks and bonds) and assists in the trading and settlement of these securities¹². It serves as a custodian of securities, enabling secure storage and efficient settlement¹. For example, the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and the Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) are two major depositories in India.
• A Depositary*, on the other hand, is an entity,* often a bank*, that issues depositary receipts*³. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) are examples of such receipts. These receipts represent a specific number of shares in a foreign company and are traded on domestic stock exchanges³. The depositary bank holds the shares of the foreign company and issues receipts against these shares³.

In summary, while both depositories and depositaries play crucial roles in the securities market, a depository is involved in the safekeeping and trading of securities, whereas a depositary issues receipts that represent shares in foreign companies, facilitating international trading for investors³¹².
It seems there is more to come here as to what exact role the depositary will serve. Notice the phrasing \"series of securities that differ from the terms described here\"
Tinfoil: We have seen some evidence of and speculated that Gamestop is looking more and more like they are positioning themselves to not only be dominant in retail gaming, but also serve as a holding company, potentially even serving as their own "bank". Could a brand new, currently unknown arm of Gamestop BE the unnamed depositary??? Warren Icahn anyone?
https://preview.redd.it/j1dmqz31lg1d1.jpg?width=748&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d8ff6dbd7a37307413c79f9527508194a509031
If so, what role would Computershare then play? This was speculated long ago and I am thinking these filings are just a peek inside the inner workings of such an entity.

Subscriptions, Warrants, and Units

Sounds a lot like "series of securities that differ from the terms described here", doesn't it? In part I, I left off with a couple teasers and I look to close the tinfoil loop on those here.
GPT:
Stock subscriptions and warrants are both financial instruments related to the stock market, but they serve different purposes:

• Stock Subscriptions*: A stock subscription refers to the right of existing shareholders to participate in a rights offering that a public company conducts*¹. The subscription price is a static price at which existing shareholders can buy additional shares, typically at a discounted price¹. This allows shareholders to maintain their proportionate ownership in the company when new shares are issued².
• Warrants*: A warrant is a long-term instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a certain number of securities (like shares) from the issuer at a certain price before the expiry date*³². When an investor exercises a warrant, they purchase stock, and the proceeds are a source of capital for the company³. Warrants are often issued in conjunction with other securities like bonds or preferred stocks as a form of financial enticement².

In summary, while both stock subscriptions and warrants give investors the right to purchase shares, stock subscriptions are typically offered to existing shareholders at a discounted price to prevent dilution of ownership, whereas warrants are long-term instruments that are often issued to sweeten the deal when other securities are being sold³²¹.

Here's where I use a whole roll of Reynolds Heavy Duty Tin Foil:

Sooo, in Part I, I offer the notion that Gamestop isn't going to just do one or two of these proposed offerings, they are going to do them all and they're telling us how. What I am gathering so far is Apes/holders/longs will get a chance to suck up the (45M, but up to 1B) book-securities shares faster and cheaper than you can possibly imagine through the simultaneous issuance/use of Warrants and Subscription Contracts. These investment vehicles will be issued to all record holders in "Units". And there's a lot of juice to squeeze outta this IMO.
Notice here, mention of \"unit agent\" and again in the bulletpoints, they mention \"a bank or trust company\" that governs the \"units\". I'm thinking they will likely be the same entity that manages it all.
Gamestop's TL;DR on units: We can issue any number of combinations of two or more of the aforementioned securities/vehicles (Warrants Subscriptions, Common Stock, Preferred Stock) which we call "Units". They may be transferable as a single security that holds multiple securities within it. Our unit Agent (a designated trust or bank) will distribute and manage the units. AND, the units might not even be listed on any securities exchange. (Privately held, hard to trade, hard to access, hard to fuck with UNITS of securities?)
So, hypothetically, all shareholders of record on a given record date determined by a supplemental filing will get FIRST DIBS to purchase en masse, a lot of Gamestop stock, perhaps cheaper than ever before. The warrants give us the opportunity to buy at a pre-determined price, the subscriptions contracts give us the chance to not dilute our value in our holdings. Gamestop is literally going to nearly GIVE us a shitload more stock, securely, and through a private, exclusive offering.
And here's where it gets even more juicy...I think they're gonna do it DFV style...in reverse order, relative to the order of each type of offering listed in their filing.

Protect Ya Neck, Shorts! There's gonna be a rush to grab GME stock!

The Plan
See if you can follow me here...in order...

1. BOOK ENTRY SECURITIES: Gamestop gives holders the exclusive rights and first dibs to purchase a shitload more Class A Common stock through new "Units". The units house the subscription contracts, warrants, and underlying stock. But there's only 45,000,000 more slated to be offered (so far). They give us the OPTION to purchase more later on until a certain date. The subscriptions give apes the opportunity to prevent dilution of their positions through scooping up the new stock before anyone else can. The Warrants allow us to add more at a given price (buying at a fixed price on the way up anyone?) This raises a TON of capital (potentially billions) for the company.
2. SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS AND UNITS: Apes jump at the opportunity to scoop up more class A shares and this allows them the opportunity to then "purchase" a greater number of fractionalized preferred stock (depositary shares) than they could have before (with only 5,000,000 whole shares available). All preferred stocks (whether whole or fractional) are backed by the chosen depositary's receipts (the official ledger, NOT managed by the corrupt DTC). AND GIVEN ALL PREFERRED STOCK IS BACKED BY THE GLOBAL SECURITIES (GME Class A Common Stock)...THIS ALLOWS INTERNATIONAL APES AND ALL APES WHO COULD NOT/CANNOT DRS TO ESSENTIALLY HAVE THEIR STOCK DIRECTLY REGISTERED THROUGH THE COMPANY ITSELF. Unfuckwithable!
3. The preferred stocks (somehow) become part of the Units where all securities are held with the Unit agent (the depositary). Proceeds from the preferred stock sales go toward the company capital, to be used for general company purposes. What are those, you might ask?

Gamestop states that, while they could, there are currently no plans to acquire other companies or make any specific investments. Until they do have those plans, they want to invest the net proceeds from the offering in interest-bearing securites or accounts.
I'm sitting here thinking...what if, as a "thank you" to loyal shareholders, they invest it back into shareholder accounts through an immediate cash dividend? Why would you want to leave if you're getting sick divvies on all your newly acquired stock (common and/or preferred)? You just spent $ buying preferred stock, why not delight investors by giving some right back? Awh but that would be expensive for the company! Nope. It would be expensive for the SHORTS who are responsible for paying that dividend!

GPT: When you short a stock, you’re borrowing shares from someone else (typically your brokerage firm) and selling them on the open market¹². The person or entity from whom you borrowed the shares still technically owns them. If the company issues a dividend during this time, the original owner of the shares is entitled to that dividend¹².
However, since their shares have been sold to a third party (by you, the short-seller), you are responsible for making the dividend payment to the original owner¹². This means that if you have a short position on a stock when it goes ex-dividend (the date by which you need to own the stock to receive the dividend), you will owe the amount of the dividend to the lender of the shares¹².
So, in summary, if you’re short a stock and that stock pays a dividend, you’ll be responsible for paying that dividend to the person or entity from whom you borrowed the shares¹². This is an important consideration to keep in mind when deciding to short a stock, especially one that pays dividends.
So, let's say the shorts are still regarded af...and they have the $ to pay the dividend(s), cool. What if GME issues multiple or even monthly dividends? (There are currently 80 stocks that issue monthly dividends) Well, one, they can only pay for this for so long on top of the collateral and capital required to maintain their short position... Then, boom goes the dynamite. And if THAT doesn't work, gamestop could just choose to issue a non-cash dividend...which they outline below...
Wombo Combo?
Gamestop's ELI5: In the event that we issue a non-cash dividend, the PSD (depositary) will distribute the PROPERTY received by it TO the record holders of the depositary (preferred) shares entitled there to, IN PROPORTION to the number of depositiary shares owned by those holders. UNESS...the PSD determines that it somehow cannot be done...THEN the PSD may take that PROPERTY...and sell it publically or privately, and then the proceeds from that public/private sale will go directly to holder of the preferred stock.
Tinfoil? They're gonna try and issue/distribute the Wu-Tang Album or some other non-fungible property via a non-cash dividend. If that can't be done for whatever reason, they will sell the album/property at auction...all proceeds go back to preferred stock holders. No matter what, holders of the preferred stock win.
My last bit of tinfoil sounds crazy but, again, in part I, I spoke about filings saying the stock can be issued permanently, or even temporarily.
Gamestop sucks back up a ton of their class A common stock through buy backs. They may already be beginning to do that while the price is cheap, eventually leaving only a small amount of shares, or even just preferred stock available, privately held in the names holders. Non-diluted, more scarce, more valuable, and unable to be fucked with. GME becomes its own bank. Shareholders get the protection they deserve. MOASS happens through one of many ways...
I understand this is NOT proof that they are buying back...just speculation.
Once Gamestop has the shorts off their back finally, and the capital they want/need...they then go about what they really want to continue to GROW the company...mergers/acquisitions?
Also, some other Apes have said that its possible the Gamestop is offering the shorts a way out. And while personally do not think this is fair or likely, I think its possible and would not surprise me. But what if Apes/longs suck up all the shares at these offerings before shorts even get a chance? Then they're still fucked. Still needed our shares and they're now EVEN HARDER to get.

No matter what, I AM JACKED. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT ENDS UP LOOKING LIKE.
Apes together Strong.
TL;DR: Although you should really read through this to get super jacked...Predicition: Gamestop will lay down the reverse uno... the company will protect its shareholders through a slew of new, private, non-dilutive security offerings that we get first dibs on, and that are backed by our current/future holdings.

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently available at 50% off via Steam and Xbox Store. The recently introduced discount brings it down to $29.99, matching its lowest-ever price on both Steam and the Microsoft-operated storefront.
CD Projekt Red has been treating the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 to half-off discounts on a near-monthly basis for years. The first such promotion dates back to late November 2021, having debuted just a few weeks shy of the open-world RPG's first anniversary.
Yet another such offer went live in mid-May 2024, once again bringing Cyberpunk 2077 down to $29.99 on both Steam and Xbox Store. The promo marks the 27th occasion on which the Steam version of the game is available at this price point, where it will stay until next Sunday, May 26. Meanwhile, the Xbox sale is set to run a day longer. Aside from Cyberpunk 2077 being the cheapest it has ever been right now, so, too, is its Phantom Liberty expansion once again available at its historically low price of $25.49.
Those who haven't yet experienced the base game may instead want to look toward the recently debuted Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition. The definitive version of the acclaimed dystopian RPG has also dropped to its historically low price as part of the new sale, which is $51.04 on Steam and $53.59 on the Xbox Store. The Ultimate Edition is hence currently 8% more affordable than buying the game and Phantom Liberty separately on Steam. The equivalent Xbox Store savings amount to 3.4%, or $1.89.
While the game had a rather rough launch that was held back by last-gen console performance issues and multi-platform bugs, CDPR largely managed to rebound from that controversy. Following years of bug fixes, content drops, and general improvements, the RPG is currently sitting at nearly 653,000 "Very Positive" user reviews on Steam. That redemption arc didn't come cheap, with CDPR recently revealing it spent over $125 million on fixing Cyberpunk 2077.
The company repeatedly said that it is adamant to learn from the game's troubled launch, which has already prompted it to overhaul its development practices in an effort not to repeat such costly mistakes in the future. The Polish studio's first attempt at delivering a more polished day-one game will be Project Polaris, which is the official codename of the fourth The Witcher game. Pitched as the first entry in the second trilogy based on Andrzej Sapkowski's popular fantasy book series, Project Polaris has entered full-scale development in early 2024 and is currently projected to hit the market circa 2027.

Hello! I just wanna check if legit siya or hindi. Medyo suspicious lang kasi ako sa price. As far as I know, this phone costs around ₱36k. Link is in the comment section

First off, I'm happy to see so many of you found this hint useful. The fact that you can find some unbeatable deals on Aliexpress every day at 9am CET, or the first 10-20 minutes after 9am, is crazy. I figured this out the past two or three months and I was happy to share it a week ago or so. Im definitely not the first person noticing it, but the hint is still quite a new thing here in this subreddit.
Anyway. Since yesterday several posts have popped up with happy people finding some great morning deals. In the comments though, I do see a lot of people getting a bit confused regarding this. I have also received many DMs with questions from people that may have misunderstood the whole thing.. so let me just clarify a few things:

1. Yes, there are some great deals coming every morning in Super Deals section at 9am CET for a short time until they sell out. It's most often new listings of items that just been added (both by new and old stores, big and small stores) with a dumped price. A great opportunity, at least if thats something you are looking for.
   
2. There's an idea behind this, and here's my theory: The main purpose is to make a few quick sales at the beginning of each day-cycle (Aliexpress resets day at 9am CET). This helps the store and the items to rank higher up in the Super Deals feed. The more an item is sold, or the more a store is selling, the more popular the items are seen as and the higher up its listed in your feed.
   

So this is why you can get a Delorean set for 20usd or so, a Concorde for 30 bucks or a Titanic for less than 70 bucks... if you are lucky and fast enough. I suspect the stores do this on a regular basis just to "up the stats" and rank higher for the rest of the day. If they make 10 quick sales of an item, then correct the price to intended Super Deals price, that item stays high-ranked in the feed for the rest of the day or at least a few following hours. Win-win!

1. Yes u can control what will show up in your Super Deals feed every day. The listings are based on your browsing history on Aliexpress, on your previous purchases, what u have in cart, what u have wishlisted and what u have been searching for manually. So be smart here and extend your browsing habits when it comes to altbricks. Dont only browse Star Wars or Technic cars. You will miss out many Super Deals this way since a lot of things will never be listed in your feed, at least not high up, because Aliexpress dont think you are interested. They use a very targeted marketing on every user.
   
2. NO, you cannot control what specific altbrick set/kit is going to be heavily discounted today or tomorrow or any day ahead. Its all pretty random.
   

One day u may find some technic cars crazy cheap, the other day might be trains, Disney sets, Star Wars, Creator and Ideas stuff. Just because you have 100 trains in your cart and only browse these on AE, doesn't mean u will find crazy deals on building block trains every day. It may happen once a week, or 5 days in a row, or not at all for 2 weeks. Its all very random. But if you browse a lot on that specific category every day, the chance is at least higher a great deal will popup in your feed at 9am. Today I catched the BigBoy Locomotive (1600pcs) for 30 bucks (EU price including VAT). 5 minutes later it was up to 62usd again. Happy days.

1. Prices differ depending on where u live. In Europe the prices are always higher than in US, mainly because of the high VAT/import tax being automatically added to the total price. So if someone shows yoy a deal for 20usd from US, that means that deal might be 25 or 27usd in European countries or your contry. Especially here in Sweden, VAT is 25%, so I never see those lowest prices some people have seen past days. If u live in the US, you could probably have gotten that BigBoy Locomotive for 22-25usd instead of 30 which i paid. Even between countries in Europe, prices differ because of different VAT applied.
   
2. This is important. Apart from the 9am deals, you should know that these upcoming days (from 18 to 28 of May) are in general the most expensive days of the month to buy anything from Aliexpress. Its the same story every month. First 5 or 7 days of every month are cheapest with best base-prices and lots of discounts. From day 7 and onward things get gradually more expensive on purpose. Slow adjustments are made to basically all listings and items are more and more expensive every day until the end of the month. Something that costs 20usd on a regular basis in the beginning of the month costs maybe 30usd at the end of the month. Same for the hours of the day. In the morning of European time, even ignoring the special price-dump super deals, the overall prices are better in the mornings and they gradually increase during the day. It kinda resets in the morning the day after, but over a span of a few days, price increases in general until new month begins. On low-cost items the price difference can be very small, but its still there and increases until next month begins and all prices goes down again.
   

So if you really want to find your favorite items insanely cheap, the chance is higher at the beginning of each month. Just common practice on Aliexpress. Also, lets not forget that theres a summer sale coming in June 😀
Anyway... what mainly should be considered:
Don't have huge expectations. Not everything has dumped prices at 9am. Its just selected random items. Sometimes altbrick trains, sometimes cars, sometimes airplanes sometimes random City or Creator sets. Sometimes nothing interestingat all in terms of altbricks. Sometimes I've seen like 5 or 7 crazy altbrick deals the same morning. Other days I only see one or two. So dont build expectations. Just visit Aliexpress every morning at 9am and see whats there. All of a sudden u might get surprised, just like I was a few days ago grabbing The Emerald Night train set for 32usd incl VAT.
Just see this as an opportunity to MAYBE catch some great items at a lower price than probably ever before. Lower your expectations and u might get surprised!
Happy shopping and building! 😀
PS: sorry for making this post so long lol..
