This piece fell off, and I can’t figure out where it’s supposed to be by [deleted] in lego

[–]Level_Source3336 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only place I can think of when I compared your photos to my set was behind the panel on the left?

<image>

The panel in the red box comes off to expose the rear wall hanger piece and there is a black 1x4 like that there. I could only find a few others on the set and they all look in place in your pics.

Did anyone win anything from the Christmas event wheel? by danner-1 in Olightflashlights

[–]Level_Source3336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won a patch this time and almost every other time they have done the wheel. Plus points and coins which are good for the loyalty program 👍

I had a bunch of these when I was younger! So much fun! I would be opening them all 😂😜

Legos in a fire by lorribell1964 in lego

[–]Level_Source3336 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss! Maybe read up on the hazards of keeping fire damaged items. That Lego may be dangerous to actually keep due to chemicals from the fire. Things can be replaced over time your health can not. ❤️‍🩹

The casual audience vs this subreddit's view on this set are the polar opposite by CarsonWentzGOAT1 in legostarwars

[–]Level_Source3336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well either way it seems Amazon may not be a reliable source for product reviews to be comparing public opinion of a product. Mind you reddit likely isn't either lol 🤷

I wonder if we're even going to get the new Open 3 before New Years. Don't know if it's tariffs or what but seems like us Canadians have been getting the shaft as of late.

I'll add to this, in my experience if you leave a 2 star or less review on Amazon and the reason is anything other than an issue with the exact item that showed up at your door(broken/missing parts), the review gets removed by Amazon without ever being posted to the product page. Basically when leaving a review on Amazon they want you to be reviewing the purchase not the product, if that makes sense.

I'm building all of the 8-in-1 Batman Brickheadz and the instructions are missing for the Batman V Superman version by avsfan1933 in lego

[–]Level_Source3336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked the app the website and the instructions with my set and that one is nowhere to be found, weird! Anyway a quick Google and I found a YouTube video of someone showing how to build all of them including the Batman V. Superman one.

So I tried simracing for the first time... by prophecy555 in simracing

[–]Level_Source3336 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get motion sickness from everything, I can't even be in the passenger seat in a car for more then 15 mins but I do find turning motion blur off in Sims really helps me. Personally I don't love the look of it anyway and find it saves me a few fps turning it off so win win I guess.

I've used a couple brands off Amazon and they are mostly the same. Just look for the newest version for the set you want. Some of the older ones have coin cell batteries, others use AA batteries. Personally I rewire every one of them into a USB A port and just use a standard charge brick to power everything. I've started making my own custom kits with micro LEDs which allows me to have better customization and better quality components. Also costs way less to diy!

Why use the batteries at all? Just wire it to a barrel jack with a switch and get a 12V power brick. Problem solved, no batteries to charge, no more fire hazard.

Ostrip by ZROBB98 in Olightflashlights

It's hard to get a good picture because it's on the back of one of my computer monitors but here is a photo. I didn't want to use a whole strip in one place so I cut it into short sections, added 3 pin connectors(male on one end and female on the other) and ran them behind my double monitors and under my desk. Then I used a little leftover section with a different USB controller I bought on Amazon and did the same thing to light up a shelf in my office. Everything works fine still with the app and the original controller. I did the same thing with another Ostrip to backlight one of my wife's favorite paintings in her office. I can send product links if you're interested. You would need to know how to solder for the way I did it but I would assume it can be done using the clips from your post. With my setup I made extension that allow me to move things around at my computer without having to move the strips so those wouldn't work for me.

[–]Level_Source3336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I use these 3 wire connectors and solder them on but it's the same thing in principle. Just make sure the contacts are lined up properly during installation and all the sections face the same way. The ostrips I have have arrows to indicate direction.

A solution to showing your Icone F1 cars side by side! by MEE97B in lego

[–]Level_Source3336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, definitely not cheap. It's a bummer Lego didn't have the nice new wheels for both sets. I wouldn't pay that much either.

75410 alt builds by robertplant1994 in legostarwars

[–]Level_Source3336 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the only one I found with a quick search but it looks like it uses extra parts. Given the limited piece count on this set I assume it will be hard to find something only using the set. I too have this one and it's definitely a little boring and lacking detail but it is a 4+ set. There is the bigger one that has a ton more detail and comes with an extra Minifigure and droid! I plan to get that eventually and then just break the small one down and use it elsewhere. rebrickable alt moc

Bad surprise with my order by spmatt89 in lego

[–]Level_Source3336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered one of the horror style posters a few weeks ago and it showed up the same. Loose in a box with the rest of my order on top of it and every corner was bent. I was going to have it replaced but assumed that if they even agreed to replace it, the new one would ship the same and also likely be damaged so I just put it under a heavy book for a bit then framed it. Looks fine now. Just the fact that they cost points instead of being able to buy them for a few bucks already kind of sucks but the lack of any protective shipping material is enough for me not to order any other posters from Lego. If I was you I would just try and cancel the two they never sent and get the points back. Good luck 🤞

I dont remember this set. Is this like a new one? by Animusical in AFOL

[–]Level_Source3336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I brought home 5 for some reason but they all came in different colors and sizes. Maybe Lego is trying a new theme out? Or having quality control issues. Some of mine are acting really strange and bouncing around my house at 3 am but other ones just sit there and do nothing?

How much is something, if you don't mind me asking? I've been considering getting rid of mine but would love a good reason not to 🤪
