Octanaut Transformers

[BNFOS]

Can the 42TL002 transformers in the Octanaut be substituted with different units? (http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/transformer-for-tycho-octavia/ for example). I ask only because the 42TL002 is going to be expensive to acquire in Canada (unless someone has a source?)

Thanks in advance!

You ever get a solution to this? Those transformers are nowhere to be found.

You know, I read this thread title as “opulent transformers,” and immediately imagined a transformer with rhinestones…

In the UK but his p&p is pretty reasonable

Might be worth messaging to see what he can do if you're outside the UK

Coming to check to see if anyone knows of a source for these now? I'm in the US but willing to pay international shipping depending on cost. BitBox is out of stock. ABRA says they have them in stock, but I was then told that they don't. Thanks!

Yeah not sure what to say... after a while the https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/42TL002-RC became available and I nabbed a pair. Their site indicates some coming in November... I'd call and talk to a real human before ordering though. Good Luck!

Yeah, that was what I'd seen too. I put in a request for an email when available, I may call them to see what their confidence level is regarding the date though lol
