Episode notes
LEGO Stream Export Nightmare
- Mike spent hours exporting a LEGO build video and Final Cut crashed repeatedly near 90%.
- He solved it by exporting raw and recompressing with Handbrake before publishing.
Unexpected Second Safari Release
- Mike first thought a blue/yellow Safari was a user swap until retailer posts showed multiple coordinated images.
- That revealed an unexpected second 2024 Lamy Safari special release and surprised collectors.

- Brad argues that more product choices usually indicate brand health and smarter inventory planning.
- He expects Lamy to produce only as many special editions as they can realistically sell.
