Yay! Good news at last! Thanks! On a related note, these darn Lock Seeds are a pain to take apart, aren't they?

Now you know how I feel when I made all those modifications .

So far, Shocker LED has appeared twice but sold out quickly. I'll keep an eye out and notify you when it's back up

Man, that would be super, crazy, awesome! (And much appreciated!)

Edit: I do not envy the work you had to do to mod the Lock Seeds. I am, however, quite fond of the finished product.

Edit 2: Thanks to OOOs, I managed to get the disassembled Lock Seed back together after dropping all the pieces. No dice, though. There are no disconnected wires. They, or some other component, may be bad, but it isn't worth testing. 75% functioning rate is the best I'm going to get out of that lot, apparently.

Nut bros Mandarake order got cancelled, both were sold out. Trying again since another pair popped up for the same price pretty much (Kurokage is 500 yen less, Gridon 500 more so it's a wash). Hope I get them.

Anyone got a guide for adding a LED to a gashapon lockseed? Ive gotten it working, but I cant get it so the LED only activates when the sound starts, its always on. Ive followed several japanese videos and guides Ive found, but they all do the same thing.

You've got to connect the LED straight to the sound bit. If it's always on, it sound like you just added it to the circuit.

Honestly ive connected every bit to every other bit, thats why i came here as a last resort. Ive seen some people doing it with resistors and other parts, im curious if those are needed.

I don't think so. I had tested an LED by just touching it to the appropriate bits without actually bonding/soldering the connections and it had worked just fine. Though it was a bit dim. It only lit up when there was sound going through.

Does anyone know when (or if) the Gaim Q4 scans should be out?

The light only turns off for me at the end of s sound cycle, so after the 4th sound on a gashapon lockseed. Or if you let it sit long enough the cycle resets itself and the light turns off.
