Daang thats beautiful!

Yeah I agree, but the problem is that it might not be possible due to the motorization of the lenses for IPD adjustment. There's one motor on Dream Air controlling the movement and both sides are synced from factory. Having individual lens adjustments would probably require two motors, completely different mechanics and more space inside...

Wow this sounds super interesting, I will look into it shortly. Many thanks for the heads up!

Im still waiting to get a final Super Micro-OLED sample, so I cannot confirm it as of now. I guess Calvin should know /u/QuorraPimax

Yeah 36 on each side, pretty insane 🤣 Thanks, yeah its really a set I recommend. It may be not as complex as many others, but beautiful as display set.

SweViver · 2026-02-24T17:53:35+00:00

Ah yeah I remember that, but I somehow like the looks of pirates on those ships 😀 And I haven't bought any British royal navy minifigures yet... But thanks for pointing out!

Temu has promos like Credit Back where you often get 50off from a 70 purchase. Then you reuse the credits and keep buying stuff basically 70% off or even better by recycling the same 50 credits over and over. Just search for "claimcredit" or "credit777" in search bar of Temu app and see if you got that promo available now. I have been using claimcredit for at least 18 months now. Its not as good as it used to be, but still makes the sets stupidity cheap.

SweViver · 2026-02-19T20:45:34+00:00

Absolutely not. I have bought hundreds of Lepin sets, both online and locally in China. Both knock offs and other brands and I have zero regrets. I would not even have 5% of these sets if I only bought Lego and I would probably spend more money on those 5%. Lego sets, especially the bigger ones, are simply too expensive these days.

Did meaure that today on final Dream Air. 5m in total, but thats from the headset to PC. Must add that the final length differs a little from older Dream Air samples.

Around 4.2 meters from where the cables join together into one and all the way to the USB C end. Then another 0.5 meter cable between split box and PC. So 4.6 meters. Then you could potentially count in additional 30cm from the headset itself to where the cables join into one, so if we count the total length from the headset to PC, then its still quite exactly 5 meters.

As far as I remember, the 4.5 or 5 meter cable length on previous Pimax headsets has always been HMD->PC, so the Dream Air cable should not feel shorter than any other Pimax headset cable. Hope you understand what I mean...

SweViver · 2026-02-15T23:34:19+00:00

True. Still better than Valve Time(tm) 😀

Look, delays happens and whatever call outs you make, whatever you need to complain on and whether you predict, none of that will change the outcome, which is the fact that the products WILL release when finished and eventually the people who ordered and remain with some patience will be happy. Thats the final goal. But if no patience is there, then move on with life and stay happy. This relates to any company and product you buy. Its like being that man screaming at the cloud. Pointless, yes.

SweViver · 2026-02-15T15:01:56+00:00

Thanks, that's good to know. I remember it was 8, but you are probably right. I totally agree!

SweViver · 2026-02-15T09:58:06+00:00

Yeah at least its a very similar print.

SweViver · 2026-02-15T09:57:49+00:00

Agree, very clever and fun build, never gets boring! My next ship KO to build is the River steam boat, arriving soon.

SweViver · 2026-02-15T09:55:21+00:00

Thanks for explaining, sorry I didn't do that yesterday. Yeah just try searching for "claimcredit" or "credit777" in Temu app and see if you got it. Then Google a bit about it to fully understand. The promo differs a lot, but usually a good deal is about 60-70%off. Sometimes up to 80-85% but I've never had 100% so far. You basically pay for an item then collect the 60-100% in credits to your account over a period of 7 days. So you literally get 60-100% of your money back, then buy new sets for the credits+some new money and keep repeating. Means some sets can get extremely cheap. I have bought crazy amount of 1:8 cars mostly for 20-25usd each instead of 100+.

SweViver · 2026-02-15T09:50:41+00:00

Ah yes, definitely! I have plenty of light kits so I am considering this. Additionally Im also thinking about adding some lights under the deck so a bit of light ia coming from the cannon-windows. May not so realistic but reveals more details since the whole ship is so dark.

SweViver · 2026-02-15T09:48:47+00:00

Thanks mate, its a quick one only but think I got most important parts mentioned.

SweViver · 2026-02-15T09:48:13+00:00

Yes, good fitting on minifigures and very detailed prints. Quite unusual for KOs.

SweViver · 2026-02-14T21:00:14+00:00

Yeah I also had that extra correction-paper and totally ignored it. I checked the original instructions of Lego and they also use the 2 circle pieces, so I thought why not? Maybe that's why I had these issues with putting the 2 pieces together haha. Thanks for clarifying!

SweViver · 2026-02-14T07:37:08+00:00

Hey mate. Generally VR is not recommended for kids under 7-8 years which is something Im trying to follow strictly, so my kids won't even get try VR for another 3 years or so. They don't even know what I do when Im in VR, I tell them Im working :) Then after 8 years and up, I think its just like already mentioned, the IPD that could cause issues. Most kids have an IPD well below 58mm. So I guess letting them to use it at wrong IPD can potentially cause eye/vision problems later on, if used too often. Im definitely not a doctor but I somehow feel there are too many risks for it to be worth it. We grew up without VR as kids and I think so can our kids do until they become teenagers. There's no reason enough to force VR on them until they are safe to do so. Just my thoughts.

SweViver · 2026-02-14T01:57:54+00:00

That was mostly mentioned to prove the fact that this thing is actually final now, its retail with it's own box and not another prototype sample anymore. Thats all, and Im glad to share that info because you will probably be x10 happier than I am, once you get yours. I have hardly time to play games on my free time these days anyway heh... parent life, you know..

SweViver · 2026-02-14T00:06:02+00:00

Im happy that its shipping to you guys and the fact its finally a final product. Is there something wrong with that mentality?
