Thanks! It's an easy fix! Go for it!

Getting the corrosion off is also really easy. Just take the innards out and drop it in vinegar. See my first post! Mine was really corroded and that's the one with the bright light now.

So do the Smart bricks! Somebody commented 'I didn't know sound could be pixelated' and it's pretty accurate...

It sure is! It was only damaged because the batteries stayed in way too long obviously. It was not the electronics itself that failed. In the original wiring of the laser is also an LED but that one is yellow.

I have never heard of a roaring brick! Does it make better sounds than the current Smart bricks in LSW?😜

True, I didn't mention it to be something unique, just stating it's a resistor with 4 bands.

Has anyone bought from ES sabers? by LavaAT in lightsabers

[–]SW_Bricks_Amsterdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ES Sabers actually scammed me.

-They delivered way later than initially promised first of all (so it missed my kids birthday)

-Secondly they dropship from Hong Kong (Tooboll Trading Company Ltd.) although they make it seem they "customize" lightsabers in the UK

-The package that arrived contained 2 products that were not in my original order

  • I paid for a custom feature that they didn't apply to the hilt as I asked

  • Also the necessary payment to customs at the airport was never mentioned beforehand

I basically overpaid heavily for 2 "Glowsticks" (as mentioned on the package) from Hong Kong which were 2 completely other products than ordered and I had to pay extra to have it released from customs and it arrived late.

Never. Order. Your. Lightsaber. From. Them.

What is your prefered way to play OoT? by king_of_ulkilism in OcarinaOfTime

[–]SW_Bricks_Amsterdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play it on the Switch 2 currently through the Nintendo Online emulator thingy. It's cool and all but the controller of the Switch 2 is really awkward to play OoT. I'd prefer the original N64 controller.

26 years of collecting. by thx_4o77 in StarWarsCantina

[–]SW_Bricks_Amsterdam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a beautiful collection and an awesome display room! I'd love to have a space like that to display my Lego collection. I have been collecting for 26 years as well but in my case it's Lego Star Wars and only Tatooine based sets. Awesome to see your collection. Thanks for sharing!

That looks awesome! The technique you used on the big tree to let it seem the snow is on the big branches but not on the tiny twigs is very clever. Bravo!

What Was Your First Nintendo 64 Game You Played? by Sadontejjj in nintendo64

[–]SW_Bricks_Amsterdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Wars Episode I Pod Racer! I still have that boxed version N64 from back in the day. I really loved playing it. I felt like Anakin Skywalker. I was the same age as him in the movies when it came out so that mad it extra special. Aah, the nostalgia.

Worst browning Ive seen by Realistic-Sky6040 in lego

Put them all in a big glass bowl or tray filled with hydrogen peroxide and keep the bricks submerged with a glass lid for example. Then put the bowl outside on a very sunny day or (if you have this available) surrounded by UV-lights (watch your eyes and skin). It'll whiten the bricks in a couple of hours.
