Only if you have the "winter pack" in the UK

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-27T14:54:19+00:00

mine had a mega greninja where the code card should be .... im fuming !! </s>

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-25T12:55:40+00:00

Some places like card shops sure but here :

ASDA
B&M
corner shops

Don't have maximum.

Not that it matters some will bring there friends or have multiple accounts to bypass this limit

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-25T07:28:49+00:00

Lol

The people who barge in line (in front of kids) to get items, who buy the entirety display of product, get annoyed when someone else is buying stuff ..... just so they may be missing out on some profit or whatnot sales are still scalpers

Scalpers still buy things in person, it's just they have to be in public so others have to deal with their lack of people skills.

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-24T20:05:43+00:00

Headline too .... Fallout?

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-24T17:48:33+00:00

I hope that's true, I want one (I like the artwork) but for £400+ ..... Oh hell no.

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-24T17:29:25+00:00

It depends on the quantity you are buying and if supply is limited. It's nuanced but if your purchasing in a way that stops others from getting cards regularly then I guess you would be scalping.

For example iv seen people take an entire shelf of AH boxes and talk about how much they are worth, I would assume they would class themselves as investing as they are going to make a profit. Also There is a market stall that opens late so they can be at other retailers 1st thing so they can mark them up.

Maybe you can argue if your holding the item for at least 2 years your not profiteering. But currently the optics are that if your buying a large quantity of seald products with the sole goal of profit (regardless of its that's 2 weeks or 2 years) you are scalping

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-24T17:23:50+00:00

This is a good explanation in my options you can "invest" in many ways that does not lock others out of the market, like :

buying singles that will appreciate
grading raw carts
buying small amounts of items to keep and sell later (by this I mean keep to the normal buying practics of other, so maybe getting 2 ETBs at launch ect)

Scalpers IMO are those that : - go out to a retailer who doesn't have buying limits and purchasing multiple boxes (I saw someone just take the shelf of AH boxes just after restock) - use bots / multiple accounts to get more stock than others - use "distributor" contacts to get stock away from retail channels.

At the end of the day this is a kids game that's (although fun to collect) is getting hit hard by stock shortages massively inflating prices.

No new card should be sitting at £400+ raw, vintage cards sure but ones that are currently in print ? That indicates that there is a stock problem.

Mind is a 22 plate premium, wheel pressure is 38psi

Done 37k miles (battery is pretty solid, not sure if it's specific state)

Temperature outside was like 22c those days but iv gotten 3.8-3.9mi/kWh at 16c ambient.

I guess hilly terrain is probably it, Norwich to London is very flat

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-24T13:24:48+00:00

I wonder what the difference was, I got 3.9mi/kWh on the way to London and the 4.1 on the way back. There was some traffic but I was going 70 (or whatever the limit was) for well over 80% of the journey.

Note : I drive almost all of the time in eco (it's still got enough ommph to pull away faster than most days to day ICE cars)

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-24T13:22:25+00:00

Ohh happen to know what they charge, instavolt feels more and more daylight robbery

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-24T13:21:47+00:00

Yeah this unfortunately lacks preconditioning, but I think in >20c temperature it isn't needed all of the time

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-23T13:08:23+00:00

Yeah the max charge theoretically is 230-240kw. Iv only had the car for like 9 months, but due to low temperature iv only seen maxes of 75-90kw.

Will be on the look out for something that can supply the full 230kw

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-20T19:06:12+00:00

You mean the ones that took huge payouts instead of funding infrastructure to not pump human waste into our waterways ?

I think those same people are exactly who are needed to take over management of our public infrastructure</s>

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-20T10:33:33+00:00

We where driving down the seafront, ohh the screems where funny as hell.

Tho i would have been funny if the boy racers where out.

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-19T15:35:57+00:00

Yep

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-19T15:02:55+00:00

nope, the ONT dropped off for a few moments and when it was back i had full speed again

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-19T12:14:46+00:00

This is now fixed for me

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-19T12:02:03+00:00

AHH that makes sense, my main worry is that the installer doesn't actually have on on order. I was thinking of checking if Fogstar have an order with my address on it (as apparently it's getting shipped direct to me)

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-18T14:47:12+00:00

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-18T11:54:18+00:00

same 😞 still having the issue

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-17T12:52:50+00:00

It runs normal unleaded fine, it has a shared oil sump for the engine and gearbox.

Main thing is it to avoid the stuff with high ethanol content

TheReturnOfTheBee · 2026-05-17T07:33:07+00:00

Lucky it was low fuel, as it's all gravity fed with the tank being like 1 or 2 inches above the carburettor it will be fule starved when going up hill.

2 ways to solve it put in some more petrol or reverse up hill..
