    [MOC] PERSEVERANCE Mars 2020 Rover + INGENUITY Helicopter

    Very cool! Please submit to LEGO Ideas! I own Curiosity, and this would be a nice set to have alongside her.

    latest lego quality standards

    therealjustin replied to Jurss's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Team

    I purchased the Defender last month and the color variation has been mostly nonexistent. That is, until I got to the power dome on the hood. It looks even worse in person, and the LEGO rep on the phone was a bit snarky about it. For such a visible area I expect better quality.

    It is rubbing on what would be the outer rim. This is the left front, and it occurs on both sides.

    I am just about half way through building Pimp up my Defender v1.3, and noticed something worrying. Is it normal for the rims to rub against the steering arms at full lock?

    A 1:10 scale new Ford Bronco to go alongside the Defender? Yes please!

    42115 - Lamborghini Sian FKP 37

    therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Team

    Wow, that is pretty bad. I would absolutely contact them and tell them about it. For $350+ this is unacceptable. I am hesitant to purchase this set because of the color differences, and LEGO is seemingly okay with leaving it as is. They have denied others requests for replacement parts from what I hear.

    That looks fantastic actually. Just curious, what color is underneath the gold paint?

    42113 Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey

    therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Team

    I'm quite jealous seeing how many people in the UK were able to find one(or three). It looks great with the DBG and orange color scheme, and would be a great display piece.

    I really wanted this set, but not for $1500US! If you have a popular YouTube channel it might be worth it.

    They just now discovered that the V-22 is used in the military?

    42107 - Ducati Panigale V4R

    therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Team

    Just for an experiement I built the Ducati swingarm to try on my 42036, but soon noticed that the chain is not parallel due to the gears and hub that are used. Is this right? Pretty sure I built it correctly. It's also not that stiff as a structure.

    Yikes! Not good at all. Quality has definitely taken a hit in recent years.

    In case anyone had been waiting, Bricks & Pieces is now available in the US. I grabbed the new brake discs and a wide rear tire.
