After seeing so many people reporting they got an email from Hasbro and their FedEx apps updating to show their packs had shipped, my FedEx app finally updated!! Both tracking numbers they gave me have been cancelled. Never gave an estimated delivery date and haven’t received any emails from Hasbro. Happy Friday the 13th!
Ok this is is odd. I signed up for Fed Ex to email me, text me, call me. Everything. Suddenly last night I get a phone call on a number I didn’t provide saying a Fed Ex package is coming today and they gave me a tracking number. The tracking number says the item is 6 pounds(that seems a little light) but the dimensions are 37x18x17 inches.
Haslab still shows my order as unfulfilled and this item shipping is coming from Quebec(Dorsal). I’m in Ontario Canada.
So can anyone confirm with me please what dimensions their package was? I’m thinking this HAS to be it but what’s odd is Fed Ex called the one phone number I have that I never provided them. No email, no text. No nothing. Just a call with an automated message giving me a tracking #.
What’s also weird is I ordered 5 of these bad boys but it seems I’m only getting 1 at the moment. If that’s that this is? It has ti be tho. I’m not expecting anything else
Somebody told me to post over here. For you guys who want a more accurate 1984 mode, I tapped into the cyclotron LEDs on my pack and the 3 LED setup on each light window, when turned into just the 1 middle LED on (and the 2 side ones off) for 1984 mode looks much better.
84 mode light mod demo.
Now that I have control over the cyclotron LEDs, I added a ramp up effect in 2021 mode and a anti-clockwise / clockwise toggle switch.
After poking around between the sleeve and plastic connector I found mine was only held on by a single patch of glue.
As I didn’t want to cut into the sleeve until after I’d released it (in case it was ugly/whatever underneath), I worked through the gap and released the glue. It’s quite tough glue and fairly stiff rubber, but go slow and don’t use anything metal - I used a couple of plastic spudgers.
Once the glue was released and I could slide the sleeve down the hose, I could see the hose bonds directly with the connector as I’d hoped, so simply sliced down the centre line of the sleeve.
(Be careful though as it would be easy to cut/mark the hose; I inserted something in between the sleeve and hose as a protective barrier as I cut gently with a scalpel).
I’ve wrapped the connector and a couple of spots up the hose with black tape and I’m really pleased with the difference
I’ve been following your progress in your mod thread - just wanted to say thanks for all your work on this, ‘84 mode with single LEDs looks so much better!
Mine is scheduled for delivery today, but as of 3:30 this morning it was three hours away. And says it’s still there seven hours later. So not expecting it to happen today.
The only people that are really going to complain about the Hasbro packs are prop builders. They aren’t going to affect your business, that’s due on Bobby there. We might nit pick about certain changes we can fix with mod’s but I’m willing to bet money this guy already has plans on copying their shell.
