I am new to the forum and the whole Lego thing as a hobby. Anyway, today I received Temple of Airjitzu from Amazon Warehouse and it's the knockoff set. The pieces are missing the Lego symbol and bags are not numbered. I am SO pissed and feel this should not be allowed. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in. I have purchased many sets from Amazon and Amazon Warehouse and this is a first for me.

Technic Lego models + instructions

Thanks for the instructions. My son is currently building 8052 and he loves to add PF so this should help a lot. Thanks again. -

@ Vassal or anyone who can answer, can you make Jurgens ultimate by buying 2 of the MKii sets (excld. PF)? I am sure it's noted somewhere but I am being lazy. -
Introduction to Lego Technic
Smurfs replied to slungshot's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is my first post here as I just joined couple of days ago (from across the pond). This is a good post for me as I was thinking how I can better transition my son from basic Lego brick building to technic. He loves free play with the bricks and he is 8. I started him off this Christmas with the 42029 (Pick-up Truck). This set was a little advanced for him. He did OK building it and following instructions but didn’t get the gear switching right. I also helped him automate it so he can remote control the truck around the house. I felt he got what we were doing and with some practice, he will get it. However, I feel I should have started him off with something a little more basis like 42037. That unit is probably easier to modify (something he can do). The pick-up truck is big and has lot more pieces. I was thinking about undoing the pick-up truck and have him make whatever he wants out of it (MOC is it?). I think with some practice and encouragement the sets can be completed by kids under the recommended age. Now, I must say I have enjoyed reading some of the reviews and seeing what some of you do with “free play”. I will not tell you how many sets I have purchased over the past few weeks (a lot) but I plan on starting 42043 shortly and seeing if my son can help me. A way to get him interested in something BIG. If anyone has ideas on how to best engage or foster creativity from a young one, please do share.
