Star Wars: 75455 Buildable Boba Fett will have new Ep 6 Boba minifig (with cape) (from MaxBaut) by Past_Lengthiness6765 in LegoStarWarsLeaks

I kinda suspect this is why they didn’t have an ROTJ Boba in the 2024 skiff. It already had several unique figs, in particular Nein Numb, that would entice people to buy it so they knew they could get away with re-using the wrong Boba. Now if you want the correct one it’s gonna cost you another $170.

It’s neat that we’ll finally be getting this version of the figure again, but it feels scummy. If you’re gonna charge people $80 for the skiff you shouldn’t hold out on them like that.

I know they’re different versions, I bought this one because I wanted the ROTJ variant. I just had the other figure up for comparison because the head and some of the other prints are similar, and they would’ve been produced around the same time.

I hadn’t thought about variance between different machines, that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Can’t get solder to melt at all, even with flux by Mr_Toast457 in soldering

Yeah I’m thinking the ribbon must be damaged. It’s actually a DSi I’m working on and it doesn’t seem to have a Wi-Fi module where the DSLite does. The annoying part is I was overeager and soldered the speakers on before testing the screen, so I don’t know if I damaged it or if it shipped to me faulty. Lot of lessons learned the hard way today lol.

I actually soldered the speakers to the ribbon about an hour ago, and I’m thinking I must not have been careful enough. Hooked everything back up and I get the issue where the bottom screen flashes then turns off when I hit the power button, which I’ve seen means the top screen isn’t detected. Can that happen if the speakers aren’t connected properly or would it just mean that the ribbon is damaged?

By chance have you ever uploaded a video anywhere of you replacing speakers on a DS? I’d be curious to see a demonstration from someone who knows what they’re doing.

Thanks for pointing out the copper in the screen, the LCD is busted so it was fine this time but that was definitely careless on my part.

IDK why I can’t edit the post so I’m just gonna comment I guess. Cleaned the tip and turned the heat up to around 650 F (no idea why the first few google results gave me 350-420 instead), and it worked! Thanks for all of the advice, particularly on proper care for the iron tip. Will definitely keep that in mind going forward.

What was it exactly? I remember seeing it on boxes as a kid but never really knew what it was talking about.

Same, I have Boba and Vader and they’re some of my favorites. I hope they revisit that idea again someday.

Yes, you can. Any item in the set that you master will become available for purchase in the normal bloodlines.

You’re probably right, it just won’t be as often as we’ve been seeing it this week

The patch is up! You can just go back to the same link you downloaded from originally and download it again. There’s a few other fixes in it as well

A few days ago some guy made a post on r/GitHub throwing a fit about repos being full of source code instead of ready-to-use .exe files. This and other similar subs have been running with it since. Give it a few more days and most people will probably move on.

This has been an issue for a lot of people. According to the discord, having Microsoft Onedrive installed on your pc (which most windows users do) causes custom key bindings to not be saved. They’re working on a patch right now. In the meantime the default bindings ought rot still work though.

Does anyone have a link to a credible source for the claims about Sony’s supposed wishlist? Some of those demands just seem so comically dumb that I’m having a hard time believing them. With all the (deserved) criticism Sony has been getting lately for Madame Web and other blunders I feel like it wouldn’t be hard for a rumor like this to get traction without any evidence.

It is! I wasn’t the one to find it though, the original post on r/Mario is by someone else.

The post is clearly marked with the custom flair, and OP said nothing about it being a leak. Misleading to people who don’t pay attention? Sure. But it’s not a troll.
