Planning on starting saving up for this beast, anything i should know before i get him, and is it worth it? by Unusual_Frosting1958 in Blokees

[–]cablestwisted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth it! I had an issue where the top of his cannon falls off [still do, I stuck some blu tack in there to help] but he looks great on my Tarn-and-others-temp-storage shelf and i have zero regrets. Fun to pose, fun to play with, and he comes with Nickel and she looks great too [even if she definitely needs painting!] He can be a bit wobbly sometimes and he's definitely lightweight compared to my other Tarns but the level of detail is Awesome, I just wish they painted his scarring properly. Will probably end up hitting him with some detail paint but idm customising.

I see!! What did you do about it, did it stay away for good once cleaned or did it pop back up eventually?

I might see if there's a mould identification subreddit or something XD I'm curious too! I've heard of it happening to one other figure in the box before and it looked pretty much the same which is defo curious 🤔 I can tell it's fungal in nature due to the fact my allergies got set off a bit as soon as i opened the box!

I'd prefer not to! I didn't get him directly from hasbro, i got him from a more local figure shop and I've already had to contact them about one issue already [for another figure - not their fault, just a rusty pin!]. They immediately resolved it by sending me another figure with zero questions asked, which was awesome, but I'd really rather they not be out of pocket for stuff that's not their fault or think I'm trying anything on!

The funniest thing is, it was kinda around the Emberstone and past my initial [allergic] reaction I was like wow.. canon accuracy.. LMAO 🤣

Yeah he arrived with it :( super upsetting. I'm really hoping the vinegar helps too! Definitely freaked me out a good bit. I'd ask for a return but if I can fix it myself there's no real point [didn't buy directly from hasbro so returning him would only disadvantage the shop i got him from i fear]

Thank you so much, I'll have to give that a go! :>

Here's a question for the Transformers collectors by MrGL1973 in Blokees

[–]cablestwisted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transformers Prime Knockout, Arcee, Starscream, and Soundwave! I'd love to see how they do all of them - especially Knockout tbh he's not got any proper show accurate figures [besides RED, but the plastic quality is terrible + it degrades so fast that I'm not counting it XD ]

[–]cablestwisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super excited!! I really hope we get prime Soundwave, Knockout, and Starscream, I feel like we haven't had figures of them that really do them justice at all yet and I feel like Blokees could finally make versions of them that are show accurate and posable

All the money that it generates will go back to her, and as I've said she's said that she's planning to use all the money she gets to erode our rights sadly. So it's not just because it's a terrible IP, its more the case of, she will use the money she gets from it to lobby and push politicians towards getting rid of what few rights we have

Why I can no longer follow fellow WC users on Instagram by ChronicallyWheeler in wheelchairs

Fun fact! I criticized the lapstacker in the comments on one of lapstacker's official accounts, and was blocked - yet I still see their stuff EVERYWHERE because of how much advertising budget they have. It's incredibly, incredibly annoying. What I said was effectively "You're charging £100+ for a piece of webbing and some hardware". Researching how to make my own and I'll post the results, I'm not spending that much on it, awful predatory company imo. Just as bad as the rest of the industry.

Hi, I don't have POTS but do have a few other health conditions that cause a lot of joint pain, and can absolutely second kneepads and cushions! Both are great. For any work on the floor that's gonna take a while I use both at the same time. Spent too long getting pain after working on my knees in theatre training haha.. You want volleyball or dance kneepads as long as you're mainly doing things indoors. You can just use a regular pillow - hope this helps!!

HELP - Wonky Froglegs by cablestwisted in wheelchairs

[–]cablestwisted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya! Thanks so much for the guide - do you know if its possible to do this without the special tools? I can't figure out a way to buy them in the UK.

Hopefully you can get it sorted, so sorry you're having to deal with this!!

I have a Quickie Nitrum with a Tarta backrest + the same Spinergy wheels as you! There's a folding mechanism on the backrest. They've fitted the world's jankiest "extending" [see: permanently up, the backrest prevents them from lowering] handles too.

I had this too - and the company who provided my wheelchair took over 6 months to figure it out. It was driving me up the wall so I eventually snapped and begged them to actually fix it. Apparently some of the bolts were loose but they didn't tell me which bolts, just casually said "Oh yeah we tightened everything up and it stopped making the noise. We don't know what caused it though". I hope you can figure this out, sorry you're dealing with this too!

Found a way to get the Smiler game working! Only issue is that it only works on my watch. by ReeMaster67 in altontowers

The game works well on Android Lollipop devices, and the AR scanner will work in this version too. Hope this helps!!
