    Wow, those instructions look brilliant. You've kept the old tradition of putting more than one part on a page And you've shared them for free. That's incredible. Thank you.

    I've been missing from the forum for a while, just found this and want to vote for it. Has anyone else had problems logging in to Lego Ideas. I've re-set my password, and when I try to login it just ask me to create a profile Then it says: And then it goes round and round these two screens. Help please

    Hi all Looking for opinions on which set, old, very old or current to buy for an 11 year old boy who has learning difficulties and is autistic? He loves cars, his dad has a blue Mitsubishi pickup, which he loves. He has Lego, and builds from instructions, but never had Technic. Yet. Love to hear your suggestions, thank you.

    Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I'll probably work my way through them over the next few years. I've bought 42059 as a starter, see how he gets on. His mum did tell me which sets he's into, but I didn't catch (remember) what she said. Might have been Ninja or Something like that. Anyway, we'll see. No problem with no pics, Yevhen, I coped. (I have 8880, 8435, 8466, 9398, 8455, 8462, 8110, 8094, 8485 so should be able to help if needed.)

    Great review, thanks Sariel. Can't believe they've got the back looking quite realistic, and the front is rubbish. I must be getting out of touch as I think £110 is way overpriced. Might be a good pence per piece price (7p), but still too expensive.

    You'll be lucky to find a shop with any Technic, let alone a choice. Best for you to choose the first one and then see how you go from there. Next step could be to look at the books by Yoshihito Isogawa https://www.nostarch.com/technic_set.htm, available individually, and a box of second-hand technic bits.

    Is there a way for you to add a number to each post in a thread? Another forum I use looks very similar to this in format, but each post has a number. It is very useful in a thread of many pages to refer back to a particular post, for example "see my explanation in post #45 in this thread". Particularly useful when you are on page 27! Thanks

    Can't think of any that were hard to build, (love building 8880, and 8455). With newer design instructions I gather all the parts for a page (or two) and then try to assemble just by looking at the final picture on the page, to make building harder. Who wants easy? Worse is un-building. I bought a second hand 8053 Mobile Crane, and it came barely dissembled. I had very sore fingers after taking it apart.

    Would it be possible to have the posts numbered? I use another (different subject) forum, and there each post is numbered sequentially. So when looking back through a thread you can see how many posts there have been, and you can refer back to a particular post. Thanks for such a(n otherwise) great forum.

    Or two brick separators And some of that grip mat stuff, I have some really thin stuff that helps me to grip the other part when removing bricks.

    That's easy, buy a second set. That's what I had to do when the other half wouldn't let me use his to combine with other sets. And there's this one: http://lmotd.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/1932-ford-model-b-roadster-as-8880.html

    This is great. Any chance of changing the topic title so it is easily searched for in the future?
  14. Chilly
    GBC Modules, Fairground rides. Cable cars, Bracelet braiding machines, Knitting machines. Anything so long as there are no wheels. Probably what I said last year/year before ad infinitum........

    Is there a modern replacement for part 3651 ? Forgive me if I'm being dozy, but I can't think straight with this cold.
  16. Chilly
    Oooh, I love the river, palm trees and boat. Oh, and the castle, and the animals house and............. Not just a GBC a work of Art. Frontpage required.......

    Duh! Thank you Meatman, think it's time to stop Legoing and go back to bed.

    The last model I built with new-style instructions, I "gathered" the parts from two or three pages, and then built them by just looking at the last of the pictures on those pages. I then glanced back at the previous pages to double-check. I too preferred the old style (my fav being 8880 SuperCar) of lots of bits at a time, and fewer steps, but you can still work this way. I'd hate to have no paper copy, and think Lego should sell paper copies of the B models. It would be much cheaper for Lego to get them printed in bulk and to post them out, than for each of us to print them at home. (For those of us who no longer work in an office with a fast colour printer )

    I love the way the marbles get split up after a while and don't stay together. Boggles the eyes trying to follow the path.

    Oh dear. I just bought one box of 100. Now I have to work out which module I've got the most parts for or have the least expensive ones to buy and that'll be my winter project this year. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this fantastic project.

    Thanks Theo and Blakbird Duh. finally found out how to create a "Private" MOC.

    I'm Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, I have tried searching for the answer, but can't find anything yet....... I have a list of all my sets and parts in Rebrickable (and Peeron). I can open a Brickstore file and see the parts I need to build (for example) the Pneumatic Module. How can I relate the two systems so I can see what I need to buy to build this module?
  24. Chilly
    Wow.

    Technic models aimed at girls. Yeah, yeah, I know that girls can and will play with the current offerings, but so many construction vehicles does not help. Better colours, GBC, knitting/weaving machines, hair plaiting/braiding, walking animals, tumbling clowns, singing snowmen, robots. Blah, blah, blah. Not "friends" that encourage role play, but models that need constructing and learning about gears and pulleys, and triangles and accuracy..........
