Trying to fix a broken token tray from my copy of Scythe took way longer than I planned
I dropped the resource tray for my Scythe game a while back and one of the plastic clips snapped off. Figured I'd just glue it back on, no big deal. Grabbed some super glue, held it for a minute, thought I was done. The next day, I went to put the tokens back in and the clip popped right off again. This started a three week cycle of trying different glues, sanding the plastic, even trying to pin it with a tiny piece of paperclip. Nothing held for more than a day or two. I finally gave up and spent $15 on a new organizer from Meeple Source, which got here in four days and works perfectly. Why did I waste all that time trying to save a piece of plastic worth maybe fifty cents? Has anyone else gone down a rabbit hole trying to fix a cheap game part?

Three weeks for a fifty cent piece is wild lol.

Man, that reminds me of the time I waited over a month for a replacement keycap that cost like two bucks. The shipping cost more than the part itself, and it just sat in a warehouse forever. Sometimes the wait for small stuff is just comically out of proportion.

THREE WEEKS? That is ABSURD. I can't believe you spent 21 days of your life fighting with a broken plastic clip. You could have just bought a 3D printed replacement from some Etsy seller for like five bucks on day one. The fact that you tried super glue, then sanding, then a paperclip is just WILD. I would have lost my patience after the second failed attempt and thrown the whole tray in the trash. You have way more dedication than me, that's for sure.
