I put 3 slow flashers and 3 quick flashers from comet in my Strato flite and my space mission back boxes. (6 each back box) They blink at the same time for about 2 minutes when I turn the game on then after that they’re never in sync.
Bought a couple boxes of these after seeing Ronnie’s video.

Quoted from pete_d:[quoted image]
Not seeing a $4.88 option anywhere there.
Ok
I didn’t realize this was going to be a controversial post. Just sharing that I bought the lights.
FF55DEDD-1674-4544-9730-11DFB7015F6F (resized).jpegQuoted from pete_d:No controversy. I wasn't doubting you got the shipping you did. Just pointing out that whatever option you used, is not available to all customers. For whatever reason.
I'm happy for you that you can get reasonable shipping. Your experience doesn't change that of those of us who can't.
You’re looking on PBL I bought these from https://www.memotronics.com/box-of-10-455-blinking-lamp-bulb-flashing-lightbulbs-6-5v-3-25w-0-5a/
Quoted from Coyote:If you read PBL's message above, they're all coming from the same factory. This 'memotronics' isn't the ones actally makin' them, AFAIK.
Did you watch the video I posted? Ronnie compares them to the Eiko version.
PBR behaves the same in the video above as the ones Ronnie compares to.
Blink once wait 5 seconds blink once wait 5 seconds.
The ones from memotronics blink wait 2 seconds, blink wait 2 seconds. Like the original shown in the video above also. There’s a different behavior between these memotronics and other new designs.
Quoted from Coyote:Yeah I did - and it's not 5 seconds. He's "rounding up". While the 'new' ones do look faster, it's not 5 vs 2 seconds.
Didn't say ANYTHING in my post about shipping. Just that 'memotronics' isn't the one making them. Claiming "these are 'memotronics' new bulbs" is rather misleading.
Oh my god who gives a crap about the exact time. There’s clearly a difference. You guys will literally argue about anything. You got 2 videos showing different blink rates and memotronics behave exactly how the originals behave based on 2 videos.
Quoted from vinnypeppers:all you have to do to get the $4.88 shipping is to create an account ....I just did and got 2 boxes for the same price
Yeah there was some confusion on the shipping
Pete was thinking that the $4.88 was offered by PBL
I was just stating that I got the bulbs shipped for that from memotronics
Until this recent back and forth I didn’t realize that PBL only ships UPS at $18. Ooooof
Coyote was simply stating that memotronics doesn’t make the bulbs which I took as some kind of dig on me from buying them instead of PBL but I was trying to prove that there’s a difference between the 2 from memotronics and PBL. Which was an attempt to explain that it doesn’t matter where they are made the bulbs are clearly behaving different. Which apparently wasn’t in debate.
This whole last bunch of 20 posts or so have been just a shit show of misunderstandings. Wtf happened?
I was just trying to show I found some sweet 455s
