    I think id prefer this to Liebherr when it reduced some, but still have Liebherr in box! They do seem to be getting bigger and more expensive as same for all Lego.  When i was around 10 in 1990, my Nan would usually get me a Lego set for xmas/bday as my bday is on 27th December.  Back then I think sets were around £100 max for technic sets, there is inflation to but can imagine now out of reach of a lot of kids that would like and I know its says 18 but sure many could build still.

    I guess some may prefer to an ipad say to is £300-400!

    As I also have no specific roome, I made this from plywood

    I can move it around, anywhere I liek in house. Those are Treston drawer boxes.

    Thats neat, I need something better to store a set during a build for sure! now we have had boiler replaced at home I have re-done my office/mancave and have more display space etc for lego now!

    Yes it is simple. Overall you need these parts:

    - 3 20z tan gear
    - 1 3L liftarm
    - 2 blue 3L pins

    I also reinforced the structure inside the rotor a bit, but it has nothing to with the mod. I replaced the 5L axle + 3L connector with a 6L axle + 2L connector, and a connector pinhole with two pins. You don't have to do the second mod.

    Thank you, I think I get it will remember this if I decide to build or not at some point.

    The blades spin much more slowly but the motor is no longer stressed. The rotation speeds of the axle coming from the motor when the spinning blades are turned on and off are the same now. The sound is also the same. The motor is finally at peace.

    Is it a simple case making as per the 2 pictures? are more parts needed to do?

    I think the numbered bags are a great idea and I just open all of one number in a tray and go from there, finding the pieces means it takes longer! and enjoy build longer lol.

    Its on back order here in UK shipping 8th June, now a limit of 1, which i would of thought it should be 1 per order everywhere.  I for sure at the moment cannot stretch to 1, never bought 2 of any set.  I have lego mandolrian on order to when its released.

    If we get out holiday deposit back will be getting one though sooner! I still have quite a few sets to build and am still working so not have any extra time either!

    I for one can't wait, I don't expect and lego/technic to be as good as a scale model, i enjoy building more than anything and then do display.  Only really show functions when others come around.  I do feel overall the site have gotten bigger and more expensive so much and it must be mainly AFOL's buying, as when i was 12 etc would not of got any of these bigger sets.  I think the 18+ thing is good for this reason.

    I just hope it comes in down in price as i will as Porsche and Chirron did eventually.

    It seems to happen with everything now, even if you are not looking for it.  Back in the day with like RC models etc or games we had to wait until see any news in magazines etc or actually at the store.  Lego new sets would only ever be seen when actually in the store!  Whilst its great to be able to find anything instantly, I do think for me personally its almost like to much information is to hand easily.  To much knowledge in some ways and now I find I have to many hobbies in some ways lol.

    On the tamiya forum, an un-booking and showing features vid was posted, but hosted on FB.  It does look really good in the vid, the key to raise/lower spoiler is neat.

    I didn't think it would look so good to be honest, but my, I should wait until its been on sale a while and bound to be reduced at some point to.  Anyone know overall size of it built? guess in similar scale to Porsche?

    This won't be limited or anything.  I got the Porsche for a decent price in the end to.  Though along with UCS MFC still in the box!!

    I do feel in last 15 years or so we have been spoiled almost as information is so freely available before things are actually released.  Remember the days when I had to wait for monthly magazine to see all new stuff, now I don't buy any magazines hardly as by time get its old news, only buy if have an article want to read.

    Its same now from motorbikes to cars, RC models and Lego, also with films to much is known to soon and trailers show to much! 

    Have seen leaked pics and all look pretty cool I need to decide on what to get this year lol!!
