The Future of Technic
N-4K0 replied to TangersTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Agreed, the B-models are sometimes even better than the A-models, at least for small/medium size sets. I also agree with the focus on cars as I'm not a huge car nut, especially not for supercars. I prefer cars the likes of Land Rover Defender and Mercedes Geländewagen, SUVs and similar. I don't buy very many sets though and few of the large ones, the last large one I bought was the 42055 BWE. That said, while I agree that it's nice to build from a physical paper manual, I understand why they cut out B-model manuals for the sake of the environment, although I don't know how much that does compared to the additional power usage of having to use a pc/tablet for the instructions or if this is a lot of power in the first place. -
Morbius on April 1 and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore last night. Morbius was fairly good I think. TSOD was good. Didn't see 1, only the very last part and read the plot. Saw 2 on Monday to prepare for 3.

I watched The Batman yesterday March 4. Quite good movie, I think Robert Pattinson did a fairly good job as Bruce Wayne.

Lego moving away from flex axles is a mistake
N-4K0 replied to sm1995's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I personally dislike the use of flex axles. It's an easy way to make the shapes, yes, but it leaves too many holes in the bodywork for my taste while also making the bodywork too fragile. Panels can cover up too much, I agree, but I have always preferred a more solid building style even if it goes on the expense of details. -
The Matrix Resurrections on Wednesday. Pretty okay movie. The King's Man on Friday. Haven't seen the first two, but pretty good action movie. Spider-Man: No Way Home on Saturday. Another pretty good MCU movie.

Does slots direction in Technic Pins matter for you?
N-4K0 replied to Void_S's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Personally I'm a combination of all things mentioned. I need to have all bush slots the same way, the bush ends (for the 1L ones) equally facing inwards/outwards and all pins orientated with the end slots parallell with the length of the beams. Do I have OCD? I don't know, but I suspect I do cos if these things are randomized, I don't like it I also tend to find that the grip of the pins feel a little stronger when they're orientated in the mentioned way with the end slots being parallell with the beams lengthwise. -
42131 - CAT D11 Bulldozer
N-4K0 replied to Maaboo35's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
On the pics we've seen recently, the LA mounts look black to me, at least on the main front box image where it's seen diagonally. I did notice it's DBG in this video, if it's really the case for the finished model, it's indeed a shame. But I haven't seen enough of the official/"official" images/box art to be 100% sure. -

If the image in astyanax's post is the only one existing/available for now of this new 3L pin, it could have a hole in the stop-end allowing for bars or other tools to pass for (relatively) easy extraction. If it's just a flat end with no hole, like the 3/4/5/8L axles with stop, it should have a hole to make it removable from the stop side. It looks like an interesting and practical part though, it's easy to see its purpose, but it needs a means to be removable without the need to access the other side.- 3461 replies

Leaving Eurobricks
N-4K0 replied to Sariel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sorry to see you leaving Sariel. I rarely comment on MOC topics or any other topics for that matter anyway, but your reviews are always interesting and informative to watch. When it comes to the "no criticism" part it seems to be a natural aspect of society today where everything will always offend someone. I don't understand this mentality, I sometimes feel offended by something, but I don't bother making a big deal out of it. Anyway, wish you all the best Sariel, and your pets as well of course. -
Fast & Furious 9 for me too.

Yeah, I don't use hoses much anyway, but I usually use that pin with pinhole and lead the hose though the hole and use it that way to hold the hose, but I mostly end up using hoses as decorative parts on 6 or 8 cylinder tractor engines and such.- 3461 replies

Typical bush part that all too often cracks on my end after some years, I'd greatly prefer a pinhole.- 3461 replies

With a thin enough drill bit, you could probably drill a hole through it though. Tedious, but worth it to have hose extensions.- 3461 replies
