The Joker1 Posted February 27, 2015 You sure the motor can spin smoothly? Sounds like it may be jammed... Just unplugged the motor from the system and tried again, still nothing, the light goes off immediately when the plug is put on, However the big scale larger motor can run it but wont fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted February 27, 2015 Sounds like the motor is defective, shorted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Joker1 Posted February 27, 2015 Sounds like the motor is defective, shorted? could be, I cant get it to work with anything plugged in, is there anything i can do about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Joker1 Posted February 27, 2015 Decided to fix in a more unorthadox way, Have threaded the wires to the back of the ship, lobbed a big motor behind and bodged it all together, Now i suppose its the Lego equivalent of a pickup with a turbocharged w16 underneath, It also can now be accessed from behind so no need to remove things to run it.

BrickSev Posted February 27, 2015 Yeah looks quite good - no idea why I have never signed up before! The Winter Soldier polybag is a decent promotion too - was amazed to see prices at around £30 on ebay! If you plan to buy directly from Lego, joining the VIP program is a must. You can get very interesting discounts just with the points you earn and the promotional set/Minifigures are always high valuable. They are the only sets I often think twice before opening and most of them are still unopened. I admit it's mostly because I didn't need them for any ongoing project and so I decided to keep them unopened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krikkit Posted February 28, 2015 Basic motions of a quad rotor can be described using the model of the following picture. The instruction of the LEGO model replicate this same physics principal. ;) Yes, but that is not the design of the mechanism. The mechanism uses an H shape not an X. And as stated, one, single fan turns counterwise, not two, not two opposite, or two on the left. Just one. Thats where I got mine. My wife went there at 8.15 expecting a crush like on New Years Day. at 9.20 she was still the only person there ! She wasnt impressed. Looks like we were a bit too cautious. That doesnt mean I wont be there bright and early on 4th May for the TIe Fighter, just in case. Are you local to the area then? My battery box arrived today, but I am not at home to try it out.. Typical! Sunday night. Seems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mediumsnowman Posted February 28, 2015 I am to looking buy parts online for one of the mini Quinjets from the helicarrier but can't find the instructions online. (I checked Lego.com but its not up yet) Could someone who has the set post a scan of just the page that builds them? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be back on Tuesday to resume my Helicarrier build from bag 4 before I left it before I came here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as stated, one, single fan turns counterwise, not two, not two opposite, or two on the left. Just one. (...) Are you sure you followed the instructions correctly? The mechanism isn't totally symmetric, so you might have missed something. The "H" and "X" configuration shouldn't affect anything in this matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey snowman, here are cell phone pics I took of the instructions for the Quinjets. Sorry for the awful quality, as I'm sure many could do better, but I know what it's like to be itching to order parts and not have the information I need to get started. The pictures should be clear enough to be useful, just note that the one color that may not be as easy to tell what it is, that color is dark blue. http://imgur.com/a/m3TOc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

langezwieper Posted March 1, 2015 Finished the build today, what an incredible build! Enjoyed it so much, even more then the Tumbler which was also a great build for me. Building the 4 rotos wasn't the most fun part but imho not that bad as some stated. Tomorrow I will call Lego because I had some brick that were showing stress marks as if they were bended or something. They don't even fit anymore on other bricks. I'm looking for ideas to build around this wonderful helicarrier, maybe a huge hangar? I really want more of those nano/micro figs. But paying $70 for them on eBay is just to much... And buying a second set isn't a good solution either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoiscool Posted March 1, 2015 I think you can buy them from Lego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cmay91472 Posted March 2, 2015 I think you can buy them from Lego I've spoken to 2 different people at the Lego parts/replacement recently, one says you will be able to purchase more micro figures in the future, but another told me we won't be able to because she told me that they do not offer parts for sale from licensed properties that are set specific, they can only send out as replacement such as if one of the micro figures was missing or damaged they can send one, but aren't allowed to sell you one. Seems like a pretty stupid policy to me if that is indeed true. The other rep told me that usually anytime a part in their system is listed as "coming soon" that it will be able to be purchased as well. Guess we will just have to wait and see once the set specific pieces from the Helicarrier are available for replacement. As of today, only the parts that are not set specific to the Helicarrier can be ordered... Meaning parts that can be found in other sets as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krikkit Posted March 2, 2015 So some of your microfigs are broken... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cmay91472 Posted March 3, 2015 So some of your microfigs are broken... LOL. I think a lot of people will suddenly have broken or missing micro figures if LEGO refuses to offer additional ones for purchase considering they only give you 12 total to begin with. But again, no one at the parts department seems to know for sure if they will be available or not yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoman123 Posted March 3, 2015 I'm really in two minds weather or not to get this set. It looks awesome but it has no interior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterfingers27 Posted March 4, 2015 My biggest issue with this is Cap's hairpiece. It isn't anywhere near the color it should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CF Mitch Posted March 4, 2015 I ordered this set at LEGO S@H yesterday! The Winter Soldier is included and a small set from the new Elves theme Can't wait for it to arrive Hopefully before saturday, because then my cousin visits and I'll be watching The Avengers with her and maybe we can build the Helicarrier as well Regards, Mitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultron Posted March 5, 2015 Question. If you buy this set in the US do you also get WS or is that only in June? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CF Mitch Posted March 5, 2015 Elves... I got a city digger. Yeah, it's a cool little thingy but I was wondering about it myself as well. Especially since I just saw on S@H that that same Elves set is supposedly only given with an Elves purchase... which makes a whole lot more sense to me. But I'm not complaining.
