Very cool. Lot's of great details and functionality.

Mate, that is brilliant. I'm not a transformer fan boy so my praise is mainly engineering based rather than subject matter. I love the way that everything is so simple once you see it all together. There's probably a lot of people looking at the finished product thinking "I could have built that" , but so far no-one has. You've done a great job of not overcomplicating things and making all those joins blend together so well in such a small package. Great job on the power functions too. I remember having a toy truck when I was a kid that had the steering knob on the trailer and it would rotate the entire tractor unit like that. I would never have thought to put that into a minifig scale Lego model though. Stroke of brilliance.

Building Challenge: Make that fireplace glow and flicker
FelixTheCat replied to PerryMakes's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Too easy. Technic Control Centre - circa 1990. Set a 2 minute program with random flickering to your liking and then run the program on repeat. PF Led lights should even work on the 9V terminals dont they? You should get a fair run time out of the 6 C-cell batteries using Led lights. You could even have one channel run a motorised track which would make a minifig "walk" to the firplace and stoke the fire and then return to where he was every couple of minutes. -
FS: Complete Sets of Sealed Series 2, 3, and 4 Figures
FelixTheCat replied to JCC1004's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
80+80+80+5=245 but you'll take 250 for the whole lot? Might want to rethink that. Not much of an incentive. -
Don't the PF trains only require a signal to change what they are doing? ie, if they are running they will happily run anywhere, although you won't be able to speed it up or slow it down until it's within range of the transmitter.

I wouldn't say that is the value of the set per se. More just a case of unscrupulous sellers taking advantage of people who don't realise there are other marketplaces for discontinued sets other than ebay. It's a kind of sad state of affairs that makes this hobby financially out of reach for a lot of people.

Reminder: 800x600px is our max picture size!
FelixTheCat replied to Bonaparte's topic in Forum Information and Help
I think the "deeplink" in relation to this site often refers to mainly photo's posted on Brickshelf. If you link to a folder or photo page you have just uploaded then no-one else can see it till it's moderated (could take a couple days). However, if you link to the actual .jpg file on Brickshelf it is immediately viewable by all. On another similar note, does this forum software have an option where quoting someone else will not include images? I've seen it on other forums and it may cut down a lot of excess images where someone has quoted an entire post with a dozen images in order to put in the comment "Wub " at the bottom. I realise you could ask people not to do that but in reality people still will. -
Pretty much my first thought too. I suppose if it's too much work for the organisers then it's up to someone else. 1st 2nd 3rd

How to power 28 motors?
FelixTheCat replied to coen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That's a massive MOC! I can't help thinking that you're wasting motors and adding unnecessary wieght by having 3 motors simply turning battery packs on. Cant you just have the switches on the boxes connected to a lever and axle system? -
[Review] 8109 Tow Truck
FelixTheCat replied to efferman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Can the mechanism be geared down at all? Awesome set. On my shopping list for sure. -
Aussie sales! Share the news of LOCAL sales!
FelixTheCat replied to Darth_Legois's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
Went to Meyer in the Canberra Centre today to try and pick up a Queen Annes Revenge. All out of those but I walked around the corner and there was the 8043 Technic Excavator. Hadn't seen one in the shops here for a while so picked one up at $279. There were still 2 there if anyone in Canberra hasn't got around to getting one yet. -
Aussie sales! Share the news of LOCAL sales!
FelixTheCat replied to Darth_Legois's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
I've got one in the cupboard upstairs. Wrapped in shrinkwrap before being put on the shelf so it has no shelfwear at all. Found it in the wrong section and with a poor description on ebay a couple years ago and scored for a bargain price. Keep an eye out, you never know. -
Canberra Brick Expo 2011
FelixTheCat replied to Captain Zuloo's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
Good stuff. For those that didn't go last year , the turnout was massive. I'd never seen a line like that at a small Canberra event. -
When you haven't got a full size keyboard and you're trying to write a long post it's fairly natural to abbreviate or leave words out entirely. I do it all the time when writing emails or posts from my iPhone.

How to keep your Lego clean?
FelixTheCat replied to chaosof99's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'd either use an air compressor or put glass/perspex fronts onto your display shelves.
