Can we get back to discussing 8009 now?
-
If I would enter, I'd attempt a version of the 2003 Dodge Tomahawk, but after doing some research, turns out that the two wheels (front/back) are actually configured as independently sprung, albeit very closely spaced, four wheels - hence not a motorcycle. Well, its back to the (virtual) drawing board...

What's up with Zabriskie Point? Anyway, nice review but the set could have included that overly handsome sheriff type guy and another Tuskan at more/less the same price point (maybe they are in the set, just lurking in the shadows?)

Nice, looks like it almost has a personality! This is what Technic is all about!

42093 - Corvette ZR1 recolour to Black and White

Sorry, I don't know iPhone products. Try setting the camera to manual mode and adjust the exposure compensation. Or, use more and brighter lights when taking the images. -

Looks cool in B/W - but your images are underexposed so hard to see the details in the dark and shadow areas - try rephotographing with longer exposure. -
This really looks great, given the size and part count, but (using fake Hulk voice) "tooooo maaaany stickers"

PRESS RELEASE: 10276 – LEGO® Colosseum
JGW3000 replied to Ecclesiastes's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Itaria - I can appreciate your impression as you have first hand knowledge with the real building. It would be helpful for those of us thinking about buying this set what your specific criticisms are - color? size? brick selection? other? I've seen the Colosseum once for maybe several hours, about 15 years ago, so I am not in a great position to make specific complaints. -
Very recognizable and very clever use of pieces - but, the mouth/tongue area is a bit odd.

CRAWLER (100mm suspension travel)
JGW3000 replied to Tomas TECHNIC's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Team
Minimalistic and brutalistic, works really well. but could use more chunky off-road style wheels. I like how it handles the 'pillow challenge,' I imagine most crawlers would get stuck on even one pillow. Well done! -
Clearly the 'dumb' battery box will be on LEGO.com at some point, as it is a useful component that many of us have been waiting for.

Looks interesting and complex, but how about a video to show it in action?
-
Let's not get carried away with the name calling

Excellent rendition, ride majestic to Valhalla!

42115 - Lamborghini Sian FKP 37

Finally may take the plunge into large Technic supercars this time, both my son and I are excited to build this. But, LEGO, why oh why visible blue pin ends???? First MOD is to figure out how many MSG (without friction) or black (with friction) axle/pin 2L and connector 3L are needed.
