    Rebrickable shows me only 66? (of which a few aren't even technic, and a few doubles) Care to share? Nice contest, my not so big inventory will make this a hard challenge

    What's the use..? Would not be on my wishlist for parts.

    It has a V8, look at the stickers on the side, and you can see the engine right behind the red drivers seat. The yellow part is a piston. The headlights one the prelim were so much cooler looking than the ones in the new picture.

    Yes

    The preliminary of 42039 looked very promising. But now, I don't know... It definitely has a lot of panels. 42038 looks cool, and would be a nice parts pack. 42036 looks alright aswell, i don't have any of the technic motorbikes, but this one looks Ok to me.

    I really like your work here. Nice detailed engine and back. On one picture it looks like the turret leans to the left. I think that is what Rollermonkey meant.

    This would be nice. Otherwise, working great now. To bad you can't scroll sideways, but that's my only complaint.

    Great, will test it this weekend. I was having trouble with one blueprint. Just could'nt reproduce the drawing i made before. Setting the same scale and proportions it just gave me very big numbers or infinite. Nice tools anyway.

    You have done a really nice job on this. I think it's an excellent original MT model.

    Well, good job on hiding them But no S-brick then? Why, why not?
  11. captainmib
    Seriously impressive build Sariel. Nice details, scale and functions. Are you controlling it with the S-brick? I don't see it mentioned anywhere, but I'm assuming it since I see no IR-receivers anywhere.

    I got 42020 twin rotor helicopter and 42023 construction crew as a present. (lovely sets, both of them). I bought 42025 cargoplane. The cargoplane is well done, and original. Besides that, I like airplanes. Also, white parts. I think i want the 42021 snowmobile, for the new suspension parts. They look very handy. Will wait for a nice price, or maybe what 2015 will bring with those parts. 42030 is also on my wanted list, but for now, i will leave it.

    Hear, hear. I'm leaning towards PF-less sets as well. I think the amount of sets with PF is also moving me towards wanting to PF and remote control everything. I really want to have the 42030, so that i can build MOC's that come with this. Usually i dont start building some of those awesome mocs, because they all use a lot of PF stuff, and i don't own them yet. Cumulonimbus, you have started me to rethink the MOC i'm currently working on, and build it without PF. I would encourage TLG to build a technic flagship without PF.

    If i want to build an aircraft, how am i gonna fit that in 46x16? The wings are usually as wide as the aircraft is long. Would that be allowed?

    So, toys 'r' us in the netherlands and germany have 20% off of lego. Toysrus in the netherlands doesnt show the 42030, germany does. Thing is, that the 20% off ends today. I'm thinking, is the price still going to drop, or will it stay at this level. The lego price in the netherlands is € 249,99, in germany 219,99 and it will cost me € 178 (with 20% off) to get it here. To buy, or not to buy, that's the question...

    Wow, great alternate. I like it that you shared the thought and building proces, interesting to see and read. Everytime I see an alternate / C-model I think there is so much more possible with lego than just buying new sets everytime. It's like you discover a different lego world or something :-)

    My votes: 1: 2 2: 1 16: 3 19: 4 21: 3 31: 4 41: 2 46: 1 Well done to all contestants. Hard to choose, but very nice to see the great things you can achieve with 200 parts.
  18. captainmib
    That's a nice price (€ 175) in Denmark. Do they ship to the Netherlands?

    I build the B-model on my holiday, and it's an impressive model. I like the functionality of it, and the fact that it contains two vehicles. It's really original as B-model. I already played more with it than with the A-model. Another thing that caught my eye was the huge amount of gears you have left after building the B-model, which shows that this is also a really great parts-pack. Btw Blackbird, your pictures are not working for me.

    The price of this set (42030) at the lego shop, i mean, what are they thinking... US price = $ 250 = € 185 NL price = € 250 = $ 337 DE price = € 220 = $ 296 You tell me how this set is worth € 65 more only because i live in the Netherlands? And i'm sure the Americans here are not going to pay $ 337 for this. The US price is getting close to what I want to pay for this set...

    Amazing review. Why aren't you a review academy teacher yet? This set is ofcourse Lego's entry for the MINI contest, which will win it hands down. I mean, it even uses only 145 bricks. Oh and lest i forget, It. Is. Designed. By. Grohl.

    Awesome car moc you made there. Love the orange color, and you spend a lot of time making that video. Great job. Are you planning any instructions or sharing some LDD file? I love seeing that every car moc brings new ways on building windows. Your solution is nice and flexible, using the universal joints.
  24. captainmib
    That is one three really nice entry's you made. Really good that you squeezed in so many functions and kept it good looking.
  25. captainmib
    I like the first version. The long parts seem out of place with the rest of the set. The first nose is still good looking while being more technic.
