Hello , I have a question, I got the Olszewski Astro Orbiter Miniature, and when I turn the lights on, after certain time the Figure turns off, it lasts like 10-15 min or so.
With the AC adapter it's the same thing it goes off automatically.
Is this normal on the miniature?

I also have the castle, and that one, does not go off.
I would really appreciate your help, and if someone has the same problem , then I would say that it's normal.
Thank you so much!

Mickey.

Yes, it's designed that way. They were discovering that people were leaving them on, either on purpose or accidentally, and the bulbs aren't really meant to be on for that long continuously, so bulbs were being burned out. A timer was put in to prevent that problem.

I am presuming you have one of the earlier editions of the castle. The original release of the castle did not contain the timer. The later versions do, but I don't know at what point they started putting them in.
