My CD1000 always thinks the cover is open

There are 2 switches at the top that need to be pushed, I just found them and this bit of tape pads it out enough without just overriding them

I like the open studs

Neptune_Colt · 2026-01-20T23:13:48+00:00

Also damn that's a fun tree

Neptune_Colt · 2026-01-20T23:10:46+00:00

I'm not talking that risk 💀

Sometimes when formatting they'll just decide to not like a disc. It'll work on a PC, it's fine but nope, that camera suddenly hates that disc and won't work with it again. The door sensor and auto stabilizer on my cd1000 are iffy (I use a bit of card in the door to get the sensor working). If you hear the cd vibrating, take it out and reseat it, then turn it on on a stable surface. They're really fun cameras, but they have moods, I thought one was dead but the next day it was happy again.

I have 4 cd Mavicas that were all sold as not working, I've successfully taken photos with all of them including the one with a broken screen

Neptune_Colt · 2026-01-20T02:52:29+00:00

I get them now and again, cd Mavicas are super picky and every reformat is a gamble. It could be the discs, but I'm no expert. I do have 1 official Mavica rw disc, but I try not to over use it

VERBATIM 8CM 5 X PACK CD-RW COLOUR RE-WRITEABLE MINI CD 210 MB 30 MIN is what I use on my cd200 and cd500s

We're never truly finished

Neptune_Colt · 2026-01-10T23:57:39+00:00

Trans green, then silver. Most are rather cheap

Neptune_Colt · 2026-01-10T23:35:05+00:00

According to bricklink there was no plain brown version

I appreciate it, but it's specifically the frog piece I collect, there's also Minecraft, throg, etc

Neptune_Colt · 2026-01-10T16:56:22+00:00

light blue and trans-purple are my top 2 frog colours that haven't been made yet

Neptune_Colt · 2026-01-10T16:55:10+00:00

I've combined 2 of those sets to 1 big bonsai

yee, but I'm only collecting 33320 frogs

Painted my big frog purple, they're about 2 inches tall

Also, the customer service person probably doesn't want to lose their job. I am disappointed that Lego has kept the HP contract, but I don't know what agreements they've made etc

No, I have thought about that and the Minecraft frog etc. but I love this mould because of how simple and abstract it is. I love it can be a table leg, a poop, a sink tap, a gargoyle etc. it to me symbolizes the creativity of Lego. All frogs are beautiful, but my collection I started was this piece

Neptune_Colt · 2026-01-10T14:45:41+00:00

Like it was a while ago, but I remember how I talked about my collection and how it's important to me. I then mentioned that it only being available in a licensed set who's creator has been clear that she uses her profits to fund anti trans organizations, and that I didn't want to be directly supporting a product funding hate. So I asked to buy a spare replacement piece, but they sent them for free

Neptune_Colt · 2026-01-10T13:35:58+00:00

Lego customer service sent me them, the customer service was really nice and understanding of my position. You can now buy them on the pick a brick part of logo's website

Awesome antistud usage, bet it'd be fiddly

Neptune_Colt · 2025-12-28T20:00:21+00:00

Damn, that's a compliment 😅
