    You could also look as at Blakbird's Technicopedia as that shows year by year the new parts for the year.

    I dare say by the time the AFOL's have finished we will have at least one thread running on all the many and numerous ways it can be modded and we'll end up with an 'Ultimate' 42070 which has every single function motorised all controlled by an sbrick. Sometimes we need to step back and remember who Lego are marketing this at, and its the fact that at the end of the day it's a child's toy and having manual functions increases the playability and therefore the likelihood of parents buying it for their children (and grandchildren ).

    banners and display items!

    If it says 'Lego' on it then someone somewhere will want to buy it, have a look around on-line to see if you can see anything similar being sold

    Not sure if they ship to Australia but found this on Amazon UK, the manufacturer is based in China so may have an outlet in you neck of the woods

    21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V (LEGO Ideas)

    LucyCol replied to Blondie-Wan's topic in Special LEGO Themes

    I can remember being allowed to stay up and watch the moon landing but couldn't see what all the fuss was about (I was young ), remember the Apollo 13 incident a lot more, anyhow, all the grandchildren will be getting a copy of this and granny will be more than happy to help them assemble it.

    Me too, spent hours trying to figure out what I'd missed before coming to the conclusion that it was a spare.

    Intriguing

    Similar, this was designed to be mountable on the back of a standard Bedford MK, I've search but can't find any photo's but then only 2 prototypes were ever made and destroyed when the project failed

    Starting to come together Doug, Reminds me of a trench digging machine we tested for the Army in the Mid 70's, never could get it to work as it would insist on dumping the spoil back into the trench.

    Have you tried 'No Starch Press' They print a few Lego books, and seem to specialise in short run books.

    I shall definitely look forward to an English print edition of this, as an 'old 'un' o much prefer to read from a book than a computer screen.

    Nope

    I like to see a competition in which PF is banned and any functions are controlled by rod and levers (see the front bucket on 8862) or by gearing such as the crane in 8094, or even by using 'flex' if you have some sitting around doing nothing.

    I don't find any of them difficult to build, but like others here I find the build instructions over simplistic and much prefer the old style instructions from the 'studded' era. I tend to bulid slowly making sure everything works as it should before moving on to the next stage. Most pleasurable builds 8480 & 8880.

    Just come across this set Its such a novel idea and is one of the reason I like the Lego Ideas format, as it allows set like this which wouldn't normally even be considered as a desesign by TLG

    Hey I'm 60, female and a grandmother my family seem to think I should be sitting back and knitting jumpers, but after a working life spent around (very) heavy plant machines I like nothing more than a big box of Lego Technic to help me relax, my only problem as some have already alluded to is the lack of money for even more Lego.
  21. LucyCol
    I'd like to see 'Ship in Bottle' as it's different from anything the TLG is currently producing.

    Looking a the the new Lego House website i noticed on this page Pink Technic elements, could this be a precursor of things to come

    The title was correct, its just that the thread veered off to talk about other things
