Apparently, #Etsy is giving a discount this weekend, $5 off any purchase of $25 or more. Even nicer, they're actually footing the whole bill, rather than taking anything from sellers.

If you were on the fence about wanting one of my #Computron 3000 or Super-Computron 4500 retro supercomputer kits, maybe this weekend is for you. My shop:

Inspired by the crapacular Combiner Wars cartoon.

Toy Box Comix

The original version is the smaller Computron 3000, which has a 12x12 grid of 144 LEDs on a 100mm / 4 inch square circuit board.

They're both available in a choice of colours (red, green, blue, orange, amber), as well as in slowly-morphing RGB "rainbow", as shown here. Plug it in (the flare is artistic, I guess... ๐Ÿ˜€ ) and it starts off red, and then slowly morphs through all colours. The "pixels" drift out of sync, giving complex patterns and motion.

This is why the #Technobots are the best combiner group. They're all unique, and none of them would fit in with any other group. No earth #sportscar, no jet, no monster or construction vehicle.
