For our 21st anniversary, my wife and I drove a few hours to Indianapolis to see the Symphony Orchestra play Star Wars The Force Awakens. She loves the orchestra and I love Sci-fi movies. I’m not a huge fan of this trilogy, but seeing it with a live orchestra was an amazing experience.

Next year: A New Hope in January and Back to the Future in April. Can’t wait to go back!
 
Those look tight. How much were they and where can one cop them?
Unfortunately you can't find them anywhere other than with a reseller like goat, ebay, stockx etc. I've been trying to get them for a reasonable price for at least a year now but I finally gave up and paid an outlandish one since they just keep getting more and more expensive and at this rate I would either never get them at all or end up paying even more. They were 400 on eBay.

I fully understand how stupid it is to spend that kind of money on a sneaker...

The Topps Euro 2024 sticker album sucks. They finalized it in October. All playoff teams are featured on single pages and half-size sticker. Players like Foden and Mbappe are missing. Not all kit licenses are available so a few teams only have awkward headshots. There are many different rarieties and random bullshit categories, including landmarks. The borders don't match the page. You need a degree in codebreaking to figure out WTF you're looking at and where to stick it.

Panini's World Cup 2022 was my first album and it was much better. This one is a mess.

Topps stopped doing them for baseball. :( I found them much more fun than opening card packs trying to pull valuable cards.

Topps since Fanatics took over has also eliminated their cheapest entry set option. I liked putting together the Opening Day set each year. It was 7 cards for a buck and i had some good luck pulling long odds cards over the years. The thick card of Mike Trout with an Angel Stadium packet of infield dirt sewn in being my favorite.

Holy crap someone paid 175 bucks for it in PSA 9 condition. Mine, as is typical with my best topps pulls is a little damaged.

My son is into trains and I've bought a stack of Lego trains for him to play with. If I'm being totally honest with myself, I'm kinda into Lego trains now too :D

A cool feature of using the Lego Power UP hubs to operate your trains is the ability to customise their actions using PyBricks (https://pybricks.com). I've set up some of my trains to halt at stations using a colour sensor mounted on the train. When the sensor detects a specific colour on the track, the train stops or changes direction accordingly. It’s pretty awesome. I’m also exploring ways to automate rail switching, aiming to control train routing programmatically based on different scenarios. My 2 year old is more interested on how well they all crash together :)

I was looking forward to getting the Euro 2024 sticker album, but I backed out as soon as I saw it was from Topps.

Panini are the masters. Absolutely gutted they didn't get the license this year 😭
