The Rhino weight issue is because they de-rate the vehicle roof rating by 30% iirc for off road, where others don’t. On paper this leaves...

watts commented on [VIC] Arlec 15W 1350lm Grid Connect Smart LED PAR38 E27 CCT Globe $16 @ Bunnings (Moorabbin)

Cheers. Just grabbed a neon. Now off to cancel my oled preorder.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I hear numbers like $80 for RTR and $50 for radio kit. It's insanely cheap compared to what was...

Dream-cast on WPL C14 (aka Toyota Hilux) Kit (Red) 1/16 Scale US$17.50 (~A$24.17) Delivered @ Banggood

kimlo on [Pre Order] Nintendo Switch OLED Model (Neon) $524.24 Delivered @ Amazon AU

I've pre-ordered but if a <$350 deal on current model pops up in the meantime I'll probably cancel the order. OLED is easily worth ~$70...

baratta on [Pre Order] Nintendo Switch OLED Model (Neon) $524.24 Delivered @ Amazon AU

what regional price gouging? +US$50 vs +A$70 for the oled model so not much in it at all.

acAgenCy1 on [Pre Order] Nintendo Switch OLED Model (Neon) $524.24 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Will that stop my 3 kids bugging me for a switch?

This seems to be the only discounted pre order around, so worth a post in case anyone is thinking of getting the revolutionary new oled...

thanks for the info. Hard to know how much of a hassle that might be but reckon it'll be an acceptable compromise. The alternative is...

cheers. seems like that that's the one.
