    Awesome stuff! Just getting into GBC and your website is a valuable resource. Thanks!

    I'd expect this to be more around the £35 mark, especially if the pick-up truck is going to be priced a bit higher.
  3. Gee
    How good or not the bulldozer is depends on what the RRP is going to be.

    Yep, I'm with Allan! The slowness (even with a motor attached) is also very annoying. I've gotta get me one of them 8455s. About the only studless set that I really want. All those pneumatics - yummy!
  5. Gee
    Well, that's what happens with liftarms. Never, ever had that problem with bricks...
  6. Gee
    I prefer pneumatics. They have a higher quality feel about them. I also think that they're more life like and rugged. I dislike the way that you have to have loads of axles and gear to drive a LA, seems messy and is also inherently weak. A pneumatic cylinder will work under higher loads than a LA. LAs may well be more precise but I can't stand the gear slipping that you get sometimes when trying to operate them. As for smoothness, there's nothing smooth about a hand cranked LA under load, in my experience. Very jerky.

    I'll say it again - I'm amazed at how you've managed this!

    Man, this bulldozer is getting me interested. Why has no-one photographed it yet? We've got pictures of a crappy pick-up, but none of a potentially cool bulldozer. I'd definitely buy this if it had pneumatics, and I agree that it certainly looks like a pneumatics sign. Where's your insider info coming from Conchas?
  9. Gee
    Yep, I can see it now. Looks good, very capable.
  10. Gee
    Yep, I'm liking the B model better than the main model. Stick a few panels in the load area and another axle on and it'd be spot on.

    There's some good stuff in my "Newbie" topic: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89364&st=0

    Awesome! I've watched all your GBC videos PV, very inspiring. I'm currently trying to make my own little self contained (for the moment) GBC on 2 boards. It's pretty challenging. I don't have any NXT stuff though (which is a good thing, I wouldn't know where to start with it). Great stuff!
  13. Gee
    For some reason the video is not available in my country - UK. ;-(
  14. Gee
    Amazing, I can't even begin to imagine how you've done this from just the photo and video that we've seen on the site so far. The mind boggles!
  15. Gee
    I would. I think that it could be popular, as long as there were container trucks in the same scale. Technic doesn't seem as bothered about their models being played with together like system, rather they're mostly stand alone sets.
  16. Gee
    Cool! I really like this.
  17. Gee
    Yep, I'm not digging the balloon tyres on it either. Surely the mog tyres would have been better.
  18. Gee
    'Tis a shame, but market forces I guess...

    MAn, that's an awesome story of Father - Son interaction! I plan on doing the same with my lad, he's 4 at the mo and I got him building the pullback racer at Xmas.

    I could probably understand if it were the case that liftarms were a different shade of yellow to body panels of half bushes, but the variance is within the same part, even down to specific sizes of part for example 2 7L liftarms that are different shades.
  21. Gee
    Yep, where's the damn Dozer! hahaha! Could be the saviour of the 2h sets.
  22. Gee
    So why don't they then? The managed it back in the 80s and 90s when they were making Technic bricks as opposed to liftarms. I say this as producing bricks is more expensive due to the greater amount of plastic involved, yet they managed to get the quality control right. Disappointing.
  23. Gee
    Fugly. And what's with the negative camber?
  24. Gee
    True, I take that comment, but I fail to believe it would've made it significantly more costly or affected playability to make it a bit better looking. Perhaps it's just me... 8110 may look good, but it's fundamentally flawed vis a vis the steering and suspension, almost to the point of being unplayable.
  25. Gee
    I just hope that they manage to get some uniformity with respect to the shade of yellow of the pieces. It's massively disappointing that TLG can produce good looking and mechanically complex sets but can't even manage to ensure that the pieces are all the same colour.
