Oh man I hope so I didn’t realize it was so popular… I’ll keep my eye out here in Calgary too!

Try the TRU and those mindworks or whatever they’re called stores they also carry Lego products.

The Nightmare Before Christmas set is exclusive to LEGO so unless that changes, you won’t find it anywhere else except from them directly.

Are you in Vancouver? As of this moment, the website says it’s in stock in the Richmond centre store.

i find most "scary/horror/dark/monster" themed lego sell pretty well, especially such a cult classic

so i got a nail in the rear tire of my hitler box and everyone I call (OK tire, Fountain tire, etc) seems to want at least 40-50 dollars for a flat repair. WTF, I thought this shit was like 20 bucks?

diy? shouldnt take more than 10 minutes

Badhobz 10-14-2024 08:38 AM

yah im just gonna buy a tire plug kit and do it myself. apparently, I don't even have to take off the tire, just jab the rubber thingy inside.....

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-UTnDheAMcE

but I remember the old days, you had to take off the tire, scrape it with some rubber scrapper thing, apply the patch behind and then put it back on.

spoon.ek9 10-14-2024 08:49 AM

I literally saw this done the other day to gf's car. It surprised me that it can be done (safely) without removing the tire or deflating it. Make sure you have some bubbly water on hand to check for leaks after plugging the puncture.

GIZZ 10-14-2024 09:26 AM

It's a new car. Did you take the wheel and tire coverage?

But I'd recommend the inside patch vs plugging externally.

You're in Rmd? My neighbour says metro tire charges $15 to plug and $30 for inside patch.

noclue 10-14-2024 09:35 AM

Costco might do it for free or $20 but you'd have to book an appointment and deal with the horror of richmond costco parking.

radeonboy 10-14-2024 09:49 AM

I tried Richmond Costco tire change once - it was cheap but I waited 3 hours to get my winters (booked a mid-afternoon slot).

Damn that's cheap. Kal Tire charged me $65 OTD to plug and patch my tire last October (ie. 2023).

N.V.M. 10-14-2024 12:04 PM

i'm pretty sure a lot of places have a minimum charge.

Plug is super easy DIY, 15 minute job at most.

Badhobz 10-14-2024 02:46 PM

So I bought a plug kit from crappy tire and it says on the kit that this is just temporary repair. In order to “comply with standard tire repair practices” it still needs an inside patch.

Have you guys ever plugged and tire and just left it like that ? My German Neighbor said it’s fine and I don’t need to get the inside patch.

My god FINALLY that 16 year run of the r35 is over. It's. Cool car but that design desperately needed to end.

bcrdukes 10-14-2024 04:29 PM

Your German neighbour also drives a Chrysler with a battery located in the wheel well. Can you trust him? :lol

Klondike 10-14-2024 04:48 PM

RIP Mirage. The most 90s shitbox of the 2010s.. :QQ:

I ran a plug in my last set of tires (Pilot Super Sports) for like 3-4 years with no issues.
I took the tire to Kal-Tire to get a proper patch who said there was too much "sidewall cracking" and refused to do it (there was some, but extremely minor) and wanted to just quote me new tires. So I just plugged it myself.

I also ran a plug in one of the tires of the last set of my F150's tires (BFG K02) for like 2 years no issues either, and that included pulling my trailer on dirt back roads a couple times.

So yeah.

Manic! 10-14-2024 05:05 PM

From what I hear Jaguar is talking a break for a year. Meaning it's not making any cars for the whole year.
