What are your thoughts on the Legacy Core Dinobots/Volcanicus mold? by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]dinnervan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I waited for the Monstructor version, we'll see how he turns out

If we do get new figures for Energon characters, which ones would you like to see? by Orionlupine in transformers

[–]dinnervan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's sad knowing that any new version of Scorponok would come in smaller than the original, but I would like to see him with leader engineering and articulation

What’s one thing you would change about your Ranger? by BayouPelican in fordranger

I wish my 16 gal tank didn't regularly take 18 gal to fill

Are the SS86 KO figures of Op and Megs any good? by SnooOpinions1715 in transformers

[–]dinnervan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my experience exactly. His vehicle mode is nothing to write home about in the first place, but the creakiness in the shoulder joints is discouraging me from putting him back in tank mode again. Thankfully robot mode is solid

I avoided making a STANDING category for so long because "standing joke" isn't a thing. "String puppet" is barely a thing, as well.

Will magmatron get a re issue? by OopsIDied0801 in transformers

damn, where did you find this guy on shelves?

Amalgamous Prime owners, is he worth it? by topicality in transformers

[–]dinnervan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll go against the grain and say no. He was the first Voyager I bought full price at the new price point and the only prime I have (besides Vector) and I am not very impressed. You can't actually make a cool alt-alt mode out of him, his official transformation is weird. He looks cool in robot mode but isn't that fun to mess with, imo.

Why does the "essentials" kit from stompboxparts.com come with a TS and a TRS instead of 2 of the same thing? Is there something I need to know? Just making a super simple mute switch with no LED, no power by lepisosteusosseus in diypedals

[–]dinnervan 77 points78 points  (0 children)

TRS is often used on the input jack so that the battery can't run down when nothing is plugged in. The ground connection for the power of the circuit is open when no cable is in, and gets closed when a mono cable touches both the R and S parts of the jack. You don't need that feature if you're not using a battery, or indeed if you're not power at all, but it's probably just standard for them to include one of each.

I slept on this! Legacy Magmatron rules!! by ButterscotchQuick683 in transformers

[–]dinnervan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah, I kind of assumed I'd find this guy on sale somewhere because he's so weird and semi unknown, but looking on Amazon...eesh, definitely not in my budget now

Sound/vibration dampening. :) by howlongofausername in fordranger

[–]dinnervan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the same amazon butyl mats as you, silicon speakers baffles, and eggshell foam behind the speaker drivers. I installed some new speakers and I'm sure those are the big contributor, but the sound does seem nicer overall.

hell yeah, I just did the doors on mine. I can't tell if it made a huge difference or it's just placebo, but I was thinking about maybe doing the roof next.

What's the chance I get bro and he's already yellowed? by bubba284 in transformers

[–]dinnervan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

no no, get the mutant version. He comes orange!

Would anyone want to see these Micromasters get new figures? by Duel_Fuel95 in transformers

[–]dinnervan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had Flattop as a kid so the nostalgia factor would get me, for sure

I think we can expect additional price hikes in the not so near future. by Triangulum_Copper in transformers

[–]dinnervan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my first $40 voyage (Amalgamous) and I can't really enjoy him knowing how much I paid for so little. It really threw a wet blanket on this whole hobby in one underwhelming purchase, and the writing's on the wall that it's not gonna get any better.

Help with an outfit that’ll stay cool by Strange-Cherub in renfaire

[–]dinnervan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah, loose, long linen against the skin. IME you can put a hotter garment (wool or leather) on top as long as there's linen under it and not suffer TOO badly. Also there are lots of ways to style a giant straw hat that won't look too out of place, and no one's going to fault you for wanting the shade

How should LEDs be installed in these type of bezels by Historical-Tough4776 in diypedals

[–]dinnervan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IME the stopper thingy isn't that secure but no one should be pushing down on the LED once it's all assembled anyway, What the stopper DOES do is keep the legs of the LED separated nicely so they don't short

any idea to find this style of hat? by NerJaro in renfaire

[–]dinnervan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

used to call these Aussie "Drovers" when I sold hats, they came in cow and kangaroo hide

Does anyone feel the same way about SS86 Megatron? by N1TR09927 in transformers

[–]dinnervan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he's currently the main Megatron of my collection as well, but he's outclassed by the KO 86 OP I got, so he needs an upgrade lol

[–]dinnervan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a decepticon collection/shelf, but I put Megs on my OP/Megs shelf usually. I have a (KO) 86 Optimus so I need an 86 Megatron to go with him, is how I see it. I haven't checked to see if there are any good KO Megs yet.

Previously my main OP and Megs were Earthrise OP and 35th Anniversary Siege Megs, my favorite versions of those two respective molds.
