One place on Aliexpress carries red, green, and blue. The main omission is I haven't seen cool or neutral white. Everywhere I've seen carries only 2700K warm white. Personally thats fine by me since I really dislike the blue tones of "cool" white, but it could be an issue for somebody's project!

I posted about this to other fora recently, and they seemed to garner some interest. Basically I recently came across a fairly new product online - flexible silicone filaments containing a ton of tiny LEDs. The difference from previous ones on the market is that both electrical connections are...

Anyway. As I said, this probably all sounds pissy. I just hate it when companies rip off the public. And their misuse of the word "replica" undermines the work that some of us have done in documenting that movie vehicle accurately.

Well, it's like looking at a photo of a toy car and a photo of a real car. (super long boring list deleted and replaced with photos) Again, this is all fine for a cool addition to a collector's bookshelf, along with their action figures. It looks like a terrific toy.

Well I don’t doubt it took a lot of work to develop. And the small market for 2001 stuff probably means large margins are necessary for them to make their money back. So the high price doesn’t surprise me.

Yeah, no... If they sold it as it was, a toy, I'd say - looks great. But they're not representing it accurately, that's for sure. Such a drag when companies deceive the public and misrepresent their product. Unless the shipping product is radically different from the promotional photos they've...

Not to be too pissy I hope, but I don’t think this is the right forum for this post, since it’s not a replica. From photos they’ve posted it appears to be a nicely done toy to match the company’s action figures. It’s large, and highly inaccurate.

He figures it's great clickbait.

Now that is - inspirational!

Thanks, Joseph C. Brown! Superduper appreciate the help. :)

It's better than that. The Doublefire parts are available for free, if you wish. Though he accepts donations and frankly deserves 'em!

The Magic Roundabout was actually a French show originally. The BBC hired Eric Thompson, Emma Thompson's Dad, to make an English version. He famously watched the originals with the sound switched off, invented his own stories that matched the motion on-screen, and wrote his own material. It...

Or Zébulon in the original French. ;)

Oh, it was you who bought it? :) Thank you!

Anyone out there with one of the old Renwal Polaris kits? (George Washington, Ethan Allen, Thomas Jefferson, etc) I'm trying to find accurate measurements for a pair of parts from these kits. So anyone with access to a kit, or even a kit scan of sprues containing a ruler, would be fantastic...
