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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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

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.

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