    I bought this used about two years ago and just last month put it together. I ran into the same issue with rotten wires. I bought replacement wires (162 Stud) at the local Lego resale shop, They are really long, but work. I had planned on closing some of the void space in the wings to fill in the model when complete any way, so this worked out great to conceal the extra wire. I also replaced the short motor wire myself. It was difficult to get the connector brick about and did have to alter it just a little to get it apart. but its an A to A, B to B, connection so easy enough. I used white wire for this one since it shows on the top side of the Shuttle.

    I really want them to release this set, but I don't know if anything like a petition is going to sway them.

    I've looked everywhere. even other rooms just in case the cats got it. The box was bit bit beat up from the store, last in stock I assume, but it wasn't opened. I didn't even look in the instructions, how many are used? I did see the set comes with two. Also interestingly the ID number in the instructions is not the same on the LEGO Bricks and Pieces website.

    I just bought the set and am in the process of putting it together. I realized I am missing the string with the plastic on the end. I have put in a request for a replacement part with LEGO. Anyone else have this issue?

    Hey all just seeking some input. I have started disassembling some of my sets here and there to make modifications to them. Using the existing designs and functions to gather techniques for making my own MOCs. Redoing the suspensions, making lifting mechanisms, and changing the steering. I have toyed with the Lego Digital Designer but have not ever completed a design. What are some of the methods y'all use to create your MOCs? Do you just build and the final product develops itself, or do you work out all the details before the build starts?

    OMG, this is an amazing set. I would love to own this!

    Love it.

    Great job, you had some impressive attention to detail.
  11. niknarjc
    Great movement of the wings!

    Which sets do those wheels come in or at least what size are they?
  13. niknarjc
    Thanks guys. I understand they are very different models and it is not an apples to apples comparison. I like the gearing in Technics to I think either one would be great just never had the opportunity to have hands on. I'm always looking for new parts and unique assembly methods. The closest thing to a crane I have is the 42006 Excavator, so they are somewhat foreign to me. I'm not a huge fan of trucks but I think the pneumatic arm in the 42043 would be a pretty big plus for it. I'll compare the reviews and see if I can come up with some straight comparisons between the two.
  14. niknarjc
    Is there a comparison of the 42043 to the Crane Mk2 42009 any where? If not I would love to find out how you would compare these two massive sets. I have had my eye on the Mk2 crane for some time but now this set looks nice as well. At this time I can only afford one so I want to make sure I have all the info.

    Will there be a review of the B-model? There have been only a few B models that have interested me and this happen to be one of them.

    This is the Lego support group right? LOL I'm from Texas and been a lurking as a guest for a while on this site. It a great place to see interesting MOCs and get reviews of sets I'm interested in. I grew up playing with Lego, and my interest has peaked again now that I can pass the love of Lego on to my own child. I do find it interesting how differently my daughter plays with Lego then I did. I am happy that it is life long toy and was able to have a good amount of bricks to jump start her fun. My favorite is Technic, I do my best to amass a large collection (when I can afford them) and am wanting to create my own awesome MOCs.

    Your LEGO regrets

    niknarjc replied to Tariq j's topic in Community

    Not buying the hell out of Lego when i was single and not supporting a family. All that young adult expendable income wasted on things other than Lego. What a shame.

    I really like your Shuttle. It looks great. You did a good job filling all the technis holes for a smooth finished product. I looked through you Flickr photos too. Wow, great stuff. I really like your aircraft.
  24. niknarjc
    Rereleases would be nice, older sets are outragously priced. There are a lot of great older sets. Of love to get the space shuttle.

    I really enjoy the gearing in technics. I've heard the new crawler crane has the most complex, I kind of like quantity.
