Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
merman replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
About that ‘teaser’ video. It does include a dark yellow 1x1x2/3 brick that has not been released yet in this color. Of course this video is all rendered bur still an odd choice to use a not existing brick. -
I was staring at the official images of the new Gringotts sets and there was something off. Then it struck me: the backside of the plates do not show the inside of the studs. from the underside they all look like big tiles renders can be so accurate, so wht this huge error?
-
Renders have to be accurate otherwise they are misleading

42146 - Liebherr LR13000

Does anyone know how well the set sells at the Lego Store? I went to mine and not many were sold it seems. -

Sariel actually posed a video online just now. It has a new 24t red clutch gear, a new 2L driving ring, a new 8t selection gear and driving ring holder. but he took the video offline. I think he was too soon. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
merman replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
Two questions: - the sets shows part 1745 (half circle jumper plate) in light bluish grey where it was only released in red before - my insta briefly showed a message from someone about the new modular it started with: in a disappointing and surprising move Lego has… and then the post was gone because Insta refreshed and I can not longer find it. I could not read the whole message. Anyone knows? -
Looking for a Moc of an icy fisher cabin/Asian style
merman posted a topic in General LEGO Discussion
Some years ago I saw an amazing MOC on Flickr. If I recall well it consisted of a cabin covered in snow. It was Asian/Japanese style, not in architecture but more in vibe. It had an icy river with a fisherman and I think a dog/husky. I have been looking for this MOC for quite some time but never managed to trace it. It had an amazing chilly atmosphere. Google search and Flickr search led to nothing. Does it ring a bell for anyone? -
BrickLink Designer Program Ongoing Discussion Thread
merman replied to Another Brick In The Wall's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Having just built the Lego Store (paid way too much) I am wondering why the instructions are so low quality. Some parts abd color are really hard to distinguish. Why not have high quality instructions? Hey they can also do it with Technic B-models. -
Who has one unused? price I am sure we can agree on.

BrickLink Designer Program Ongoing Discussion Thread
merman replied to Another Brick In The Wall's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Currently building a bricklinked Castle In the Forest (if anyone has a box for sale…) truly brilliant set! does anyone know why Lego has other digitak instructions than usual? They are more of MOC-instructions quality and harder to follow. Why not use Lego’s official instructions system? -
TLG is continuously changing the place where mould/injection marks are located. This occurs especiallt with plates most recently, the mould marks of these parts have changed from the stud to the sides. https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/PN/11/4085d.png https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/PN/86/44861.png and with this part the mark has become much more prominent: https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/PN/2/15712.png does anyone know why this has changed? Isn’t a mark on a stud always preferable over a mark on a flat edge? is it really that cheaper produce this way? It just looks really ugle and unnecessary and hopefully this is not a new development to cut costs
-
So what is the reason this set is so poorly avalaible when the AT-AT is not?
-
See step 131 of the first booklet. There is no way you can get this axle out!!!

[REVIEW] 42130 - BMW M1000RR K66
merman replied to Milan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
As far as I know there is no difference between the side with the number and the opposite side. Both sides are equal, so the part is symmetrical at the sides where the round hole is. -
[REVIEW] 42130 - BMW M1000RR K66
merman replied to Milan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
With the instructions being published today, does anyone have any idea what is the deal with step 320? Why should the numbers on the axle connectors line up other than estatic reasons? -
Does anyone have a list or picture of the spare parts?
-
I actually built this subassembly. I did manage to take it apart again but it does take some bending and force to get a bit of the axle to stick out so you can grab the stop part of the axle with your fingernail. Not the right way to go, Lego.
-
I also informed lego. Their reply: try using a brick separator. Really?
-
Can you use a 5L axle with stop as wel?
-
Good suggestion! And you can be all lightly about it but this is a €800 set and I don’t think many people will realize you cannot take it apart if you follow the instructions
-
Sorry could not post pictures here. I take my models apart after a while and this is a huge building error.
-
I am currently building it. Am I the only one who has major issues with the back hatch/ramp? It is only stuck at 2 studs but it keeps falling down all the time. Gravity wins from clutch power. I am surprised no review speaks of this issue.
-
So when the set was on the table in my living room it worked like a charm. I moved it to my bedroom and all of a sudden there is an issue with the upwards ramp. At first the chain started to make a rattling sound and alhough I had counted the pieces of the chainlink, I could easily remove one piece. The noise stopped but I also noticed that the track pieces have less clutch power than regular pieces. Whenever I press one of the pieces into place, tension causes other pieces to let go. I went through the instructions to see if I had a plate too much or too little, but all seems okay. Then the rattling noise occured again and I could easily remove yet another track piece. Do these chainlink pieces become looser in time? And does it go THAT quickly? Anyone else having problems with the track pieces, even causing the carts to derail?

The road system really is a City thing, not a Creator Expert feat.
