    Toys R Us Landspeeder

    in Off Topic Cantina

    Posted

    With TRU going out of business, I waited and waited but FINALLY pulled the trigger and bought the Radio Flyer Landspeeder for my kids. When it first came out it was $500!!! Way overpriced but then maybe 6 months ago or so they marked it to $250. Once TRU announced they were going out of business the prices began to drop every few weeks. Went by yesterday and it's now at $125! The manager said it will not go below 50% off until the final days but he doubts any will last that long so the wife gave me the green light to buy it. My kids love it and I have grand plans on making a Jawa family costume by Halloween so the kids will driving around the neighborhood in this.

    You'll need to go to your local store to see availability but here's the official page with all of the information:

    It's a two seater but my little one wanted to sit on the floorboard lol.

    Just need the 501st to clear up this stupid merchandising drama so we can get a smaller patch made.  :( 

    That's not really what's preventing a run ATM. I was briefly a merch/branding officer for my garrison before and I can tell you, it's not fun juggling multiple merch runs at the same time. I promise you, @Gordonator is doing a great job and there will be some cool stuff coming out throughout the rest of this year. I'm sure this will happen eventually.

    I'd put some velcro on the battery and mount it behind the fan bracket so it's out the way. I have that same microphone, What I do is take it out the helmet and do a test to check my levels. Most the time I have to hit the + on the mic itself to up it a few notches as well as get the volume right on the Aker speaker too. To make it more sensitive, check your settings on the TKTalkie app for your profile. You can make it very sensitive if  you dial it in right. Don't breathe out your mouth or you'll make a static burst. I have mine where as soon as I say something at normal volume it activates.

    Scott, check out this video and focus on the app portion of the video. He does walk through some of the adjustments. If I had to choose, I'd pick voice over chatter. BUT, I also run chatter through a mp3 board and Pyle amp in my radio.

    I have a wireless headset. I removed the little metal over the head bracket and applied velcro on the back of the transmitter. It velcros in place and I bend the mic arm and position the mic dead center around the frown. I've done an all day  long con with no issues. I use the Aker 1506 with the mic receiver in the line in spot behind my chest plate.

    As far as mobility goes, I have a short neck. My whole body is short though lol. I'm short and round. Sometimes I take the wood block out of my shoulder pouch closest to my head and that helps a little. My helmet basically sits on top of my pauldron. I have my wife make sure everything is pushed down and tucked in like it should be after I put on my helmet. Some people have the perfect body types and mobility is not an issue. But for the 95% of the rest of us, we all have some issue where mobility is a hindrance at least at one spot.
