Omikron Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Wow, I couldn't even imagine that it could be that important. Most of the times I struggle just to get the parts. You guys are picky
Paul Boratko Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Sorry, I never implied whatever it is (I think) you understood. In these times of 'political correctness' one needs to remain quiet. So what exactly were you implying then..? The only one that knew about this model up until a few days ago was me.. It's not like there is a team of 10 people that developed this model and one of them went rogue and bought up all of the blue axles, so the only one that could have "Planned" this would be me and as I have shown you, was not the case... You made it sound like I purposely built a model using a somewhat rare color and then spent 3 months buying up the parts.. Hell, I didn't even know exactly what color it was going to be until the middle of January... I posted pics of this on Facebook Saturday night and then people started buying the axles most likely to possibly build it themselves, which would explain the spike in sales this month.. Do you happen to have built a version in black and white? Curious what it looks like. I am actually going to try and build this in all Black with orange stripes, seats, and orange accents... I am currently building 2 chassis and optimizing them a bit... Blakbird will know why I chose this Black/Orange combo Edited February 10, 2015 by Paul Boratko

Hell, I didn't even know exactly what color it was going to be until the middle of January... Well, I did send you a pm, but here are more details, hopefully to explain my 'unfortunate' comment. Few weeks back I was trying to build YOUR yellow Murcielago (A fantastic MOC, but now is not the time to kiss a$$), as you can conclude from my posts in these threads: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=103804 http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=102537 http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=97581 Then the thought occurred to me to build the Murcielago in Blue as it was the only other viable option for the flex axles (we know about black, yellow, red, and white, but who wants to use silver?). So I looked up the 19L axles on BL and there were many available around the beginning of December. My blue Murcielago project was put on hold as I was still working on the yellow version. Then today, after I see THIS post, I check on those 19L, and they're all gone (except for 2 in Poland and Indonesia). When I said: 'Someone was planning this all along', I did not mean you or anyone I knew. Yes, it was done with a touch of 'sarcasm'. But ok, I can't take that back and all I can do now is offer again my apologies. More than that, sorry, there is really nothing I can do. I hope this settles it and we can now go back and discuss/admire your latest creation. Lessons: 1. Careful what to say, cuz u can easily offend people 2. Next time u have an idea, quickly run for it, or u'll miss the boat 3. Build a Murcielago in white, as the 19L are now plentiful Edited February 10, 2015 by DrJB
jorgeopesi Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Fortunately for me I see beyond the colors and I like it, in my opinion the best of your invented cars but still love more your porsche.
Jim Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Since this topic isn't going anywhere, I will lock it. This gives Paul the possibility to create his own topic.....which will hopefully.....discuss the actual MOC PS before creating a topic about an EB member's new MOC, one could send a PM to the person in question.
