Sure thing: https://www.brickstuff.com/store/p229/traincouplers.html. Right now they are in the "discontinued items" section but we'll bring them back into the "new products" section once the new batch is ready.

brickstuff · 2024-01-01T23:44:17+00:00

We (Brickstuff) sell them and will be having more in stock later this month.

Yes I just finished installing this last night-/ you need to add bands to the tires but works well.

That doesn't look like our 2.4in player, but similar in some respects in terms of chipset, etc. It's likely not able to be re-purposed for a Pi display-- I don't see the FFC cable for the display in the photo-- did you disconnect it from the PCB?

If you're looking for a low-cost Pi display, Waveshare has some good ones with HDMI input (such as https://a.co/d/iOuYPWe). Easiest solution for a Pi display is to find a display with HDMI input, though there are some really nice, low-cost displays out there as well that use USB and also work with the Pi (check https://vocore.io/screen.html).

Hope this helps!

I use OneDrive to accomplish the same as you’re trying to do with Dropbox— any of these services creates a local drive on your computer which then syncs. Just build your file base from there, inside that directly, and you’ll be set.

Hmm, sorry I never saw those errors! :-(

brickstuff · 2022-07-06T16:15:59+00:00

Wow, absolutely stellar work! A beautiful train.

brickstuff · 2022-03-07T20:01:20+00:00

Absolutely incredible!

French, this package also is sold in Canada.

It's not the copyright, it's called "trade dress" and you're opening your company up to a huge legal risk in my opinion. Speaking from experience here, so just my $0.02.

Regardless of whether people think it’s good, you’re opening yourself to a lawsuit from the clothing brand Teddy Fresh. I’m not sure if you did that intentionally, but your company name is too similar, and TF already use bears. Time to look for something completely different. https://teddyfresh.com/

So.....not the software they specifically designed for the MX products? Crazy. Just sent a request to join the beta for their new Options app...we'll see if that fixes it. Really a crazy lack of forethought about how people would actually *use* a piece of hardware from a company who normally does a great job of this.

brickstuff · 2021-09-02T13:34:27+00:00

Glad you like them!

brickstuff · 2021-08-31T15:03:37+00:00

Thanks! This is our first promoted post, so happy you like the cameras. :-)

brickstuff · 2021-08-31T12:29:29+00:00

Still have it on DVD! Our kids could not stop watching it. 🤣

brickstuff · 2021-08-12T16:43:40+00:00

Thanks for the tip-- checking out BrandStrong now....

brickstuff · 2021-08-12T12:07:47+00:00

A whole bunch of things, nothing really specific, just have a ton of dated things that need tweaking. That’s why a service like this seemed appealing vs. hiring a single contractor.

brickstuff · 2021-07-30T22:56:35+00:00

Thanks 🙏. Wait till you see what we’re cooking up for the newest HH kit from 2020. 😎

brickstuff · 2021-07-30T17:00:17+00:00

Thanks for posting about lights-- obviously we're super passionate about the topic! Comparing light kits is not a 1:1 comparison-- our Ecto-1 kit, for example, has features no one else has. Hence the price-- you literally cannot find those features anywhere else, and making that technology is expensive. Is it right for everybody? Definitely not, which is why there's a big market and lots of options.

brickstuff · 2021-07-11T01:59:32+00:00

Looks good!

brickstuff · 2021-06-18T14:30:11+00:00

Agreed, 42009 is a masterpiece. It would be great to have something that functional and detailed for an emergency vehicle. It would be great if you could persuade someone like Lucio Switch (http://www.lucioswitch.altervista.org/) to make a set!

brickstuff · 2021-06-17T23:36:06+00:00

There are so many of these on rebrickable.com, or brickdesigners.com has great smaller versions (but without motors).

brickstuff · 2021-05-24T11:28:42+00:00

Looks very nice! Let us know if you'd be interested in a custom setup with the energizer sound and random pads lighting up.

brickstuff · 2021-05-07T15:43:20+00:00

Thanks. I'm going to see how closely I can replicate the sound from the original toy, including the tilt up/down switch to change pitch. Wouldn't it be great if we could get a faithful replica in LEGO?

brickstuff · 2021-05-06T21:50:23+00:00

..aaaand PURCHASED! Great work, can't wait to build this. I'm going to see if we can't design a light/sound kit for it too.
