You know when you set out to buy a life-size Yoda and end up with a life size Ewok as well? Yeah that.
I'm supposed to be downsizing this stuff as we're about to put the house on the market.

Well it could have been worse, at least a life size Ewok is easier to store than a Wookie would be

Strange, I bought a Yoda yesterday too.

Never say never
I'd like to say I was done, but I've seen a Salacious Crumb as well

Mostly other collectors, but there is a prop maker on eBay that does them (thankfully he hasn't got anything listed atm)

Yes please, I own a pair of beyer DT531's, quite old now but still in daily use.

Took a couple so you can see both ends of it.

[Lazadude]

Yeah, Said I'd provide photos if wanted when I posted about it in here on Tuesday.

Looking for a bit of help here please lads, I think somebody posted a good few months ago a link to a website that offered paintings of custom lego mini figures - you know, football kits, sports uniforms, fishing gear etc. I know plenty of places do the figures but these did a sort of custom character print

I've trawled back through the thread and I can's find it, googling doesn't bring the site that I want I'm starting to think I imagined it.

Can anybody help? Did they post it please?

thanks fellow frivolousers

''Twas me

Here you go, this is her website : https://toysrart.co.uk/pages/about-us

Thanks, appreciate it. Was going round the bend trying to find it! Looking at one for a Christmas prezzie for somebody down the line.

I had the Bose QC20i. Very, very good for flying. I sadly left them on a plane a week ago so I am looking too.

The problem I had with the QC20 was that it was confused by sudden changes in air pressure. It would manufacture a counter-sund, even when it was just a pressure change - creating a sudden loud "bang". This made it impossible to wear on overground trains with the noise cancelling on. However, they were so good, I kept them just for flying (which I do a lot).

I'm going to try a pair of these for a few flights we have coming up:

Thanks for the recommendation - I knew I could rely on this thread to deliver an answer! Will order some today.

Just to follow up on this - very impressed with these. Thanks Aston.

Potnentially I'm going to need a new router soon, what's so good about these?

According to one of the tech websites, letting these handle the WiFi side of things rather than the router makes things work better. Know idea how true that is but since setting it up I've had zero drops on any device even when signal has been as low as it goes. Pages load noticeably quicker. I was considering changing my bus hub 5 to a draytek but tried this instead and saved 200 quid.

Are they easy to set up in conjunction with a VM superhub do you know?

I reckon it would be dead easy, took me about 5 minutes, most of that was downloading the app and typing stuff.

From what I have read from a quick skim is that they don't behave like traditional WAPs / extenders. Clients connect through the app rather than directly.

We were suffering poor reception at the top of the house. I got the 3 disc BT whole home set up.

Bloody marvellous.

I recently got this system too - also stumped up for a 4th disc too. Works extremely well.

It's possibly worth switching off the wifi from your router as it's no longer needed.

It's made no discernible difference having 4 either.

Just seen on ebay local to me (Bristol) that a company is listing a few abandoned storage rooms/containers to bid for (storage wars style). Starting price 99p.

Seems great opportunity to buy other peoples abandoned frivolous purchases.

Bought this today.

Didn't really need it but it was sunny and I'm only home for 10 days.

But I like it.

54 x hue bulbs. Well, if I'm going to do one room I may as well do them all...
