5150 Lego

There's really no need. Jenson in all honesty is nothing speacial. Theonly reason he won the championship was because of his car had such a huge advantage over the rest of the field. Once everyone were on equal playing fields, he fell short. If you do the math and started the points mid season were everyones(wellmost) cars were evenly matched, he would have been like 5th or 6th in points. Hamiltion would have had around 40, and Jenson around 25 or so. Championship or not, He's not worth what he's asking. Kob. is going to kick some serious a$$ next season. He's going to be the underdog that gives all the big players a run for their money. You just watch! Wait, Glock has been confirmed for Renault? Ithought Romian had a 2 year contract or something?

Looks like its a techinc Studless beam that was bent to fit the shape of the lift arm. The moc looks great, but i'm not a fan of modifiing parts in that way to achieve the desired look. i finda feelits cheating.

Any news on 2010' Ferrari or Lamborghini sets?

So what? If you don't like them, then don't buy them. There are alot more things to worry about than an inferior clone brand. Anyhow, competition is good for TLC. As others have already stated TLC needs decent competition to ensure that we get quality sets. Actually, it isn't. It just shows that someone is actually basing there opinions on the subject matter on first hand experience rather than assumptions like many here seem to be. No. As stated, life goes on and there is no reason to get so worked up about this.

I remember a while ago a pest control company had a TV commercial out were it started out as a regular commercial for some ordinary house hold product, then all of a sudden bug started to appear crawling on the screen. Started with a fly or two, then a centipede would crawl on. They had to remove the add cause people were slapping there TVs with swatters. Though i never took a swatter to my TV, i do remember freaking out when i thought i saw an 8" harry centipede crawling on my TV!

Get who? You honestly think that TLC has exclusive rights and there the only ones that are able to make interlocking plastic bricks? It truly amazes me that so many are so blind with there love for Lego to the point that there naive. This isn't pointed at anyone in particular, but it seems every time we get these "clone brand hatter theads" the comments are always the same. especially when most are just judging "book by its cover" and have no first hand experience. While most of these sets may not be up to par with Lego,as Peppermint M said, they still have many advantages over Lego. As for kids and parent knowing the difference, that might be true, but for many price will always be a deciding point. especially in this economy. Also, as mentioned before, clone brands have theme's that TLC won't do. Whether or not there quality is on par with Lego or not, its a theme/ licence that TLC doesn't have that has high interest. One more thing.... Many can hate on clone brands all they want, but they've been in business for yrs. and won't be going away anytime soon. So they must be doing something right.

PG just means that it "parental guidance suggested". It doesn't mean its not meant for kids. The reason its PG was because of the beasts. Not because of inappropriate material.

Umm... Thats basicly what your doing on every website/forum. Including this one. Talking to strangers. Agreed. So because she gave you her email "she" (if it truely was a girl you were talking to) doesn't have much of a life? Keep in mind also that you visted the same site as she.

How about a series of Aulstrain "Road Train" Semi trucks? 8 wide (or six ) semi trucks with triple (or more) trailers! I think that would give great playability for kids. Heck, you can even include it in an "Outback Theme' of some sort.

I can agree with everything you said. I think the confusion lied in that i thought you meant anyone with a relatively "nice" car such as a Mercedes means there living beyond there means and is a waste of money. But after your explanation that doesn't seem to be the way you think. Thanks for clearing that up.

I could careless about emissions testing. As long as you keep in mind that at somepoint you will need to get your vehicle back to stock (if you mod it that is) then your fine. I don't understand your last coment. So those that drive nice vehicles have extra money to burn? I have workedvery hard for the things i own, as i'm sure you have. You don't need gobs of cash to have nice things either,just know when to spend what ever amount of money you currently have.

Very cool. That's nice that it was a little project for you and your family. Those are always fun when you can take your time on things like that. even if they can be a pain in your big behind!

I remember this. I have a revel plastic snap-toeghter model kit of it! I remember the movie producers got ahold of them before they were officaly avaible to the public. Great looking expedtion type vehicles. I remeber a while seeing someone that took a stock one and modified it to resemble the movie car. In fact, that was there hobby. Husband and wife if i remember correctly. They did the Ghost busters car (well, they used a Subaru Legacy), and the Jeep from the first Jussic Park movie.

How long have you had the deloren and how has it been to you? I mean as far as reliability? I had a friend that had one years ago. If he was lucky to find replacment parts they were extremely expensive.

What kind of car do you want to get should be the real question. And what do you mean by "environmentally friendly"? Do you mean good on gas or literally less pollutants?

I'll bet my lunch that you'll see a PS4 sooner than you think. Technology gets more advanced every year with picture quality as well as game graphics. Sony will have no choice but to get working on a replacement. Maybe not by 2011, but definitely not in no ten year time either.

Damn... I was hoping the mini excavator would kep the green colors in the Preliminary pics. Oh well.

If you think about it, if the doors are welded shut, then you couldn't role up the windows anyways cause you couldn't get out. Or in for that matter.

These were the 09' sets. Not 2010'. 2010's have yet to be released. My vote goes to the Combine Harvester. big yes, but great detail and very orignal. Though to be fair, i don't have most of the others. Somy opinion could change if i were to get any.

Never said it wasn't original. IN fact i said the opposite. What i said was that i felt the story line was very lacking. For the movie having such a serious tone it still felt very cheesy. There were quite a few things that just didn't make any sense. I also didn't care for the whole That's exactly how i felt after watching. I thought it was one of the best movies of 08'.

Everything drops for me come F1 race weekends!! Glad your enjoy the drama and politics that is F1 racing!

Nah. Your ride wouldn't have any issues really. Its the Riced out honda's and cars that bring alot of attention to themselfs that the CHP target. My passat was modded alot more than yours and i never had any issues with law enforcment. Just impounded. Some cited have a policy if the car doesn't have its emission equipment intact or an illeagalengine swap in conjuction with being caught street racing (Sacramento county for example) will crush your car. But they ussualy only do this is you have prior records of street racing and your vehicle is a major moving violation.

Intill winter comes around that is. I don't ride myself, but i have outfitted them for police duty.... First bike is a Harely Davidsion Road king and the white one is a Honda ST13000. The Harley was defenatly easier to build. The honda didn't have much room to run wires.

True. After some "investigating" the laws i meantioned seem to only be for a select few states. Illinios not being one of them. Your lucky Polish Guy. If it were Ca, then your ride surely would have been sent to the crusher!!

Well the way his car sits now, its illegal. If he were to get pulled over and there is evidence of modified emissions on the vehicle, then it can be towed on the spot. Nope. As of july last year it is now mandatory that they run your vehicleon a smog dyno. They want to make sure your car passes while its under a load and not just a simple ECU scan while reving the engine to 2200 RPM. No matter how you cut it, your going to need to put your cr back to stock. You need to pass the visual inspection (no cats, no pass) as ell as the ECU scan and actual test. All the air pumps need to be put back as well as all the vacum hoses. (i once was told by a smog tech that i needed to disconect my Boost gauge casue it tapped into the vacum hoses ). I doubt they'll go this far, but the U.S. is getting stricter and stricter concerning emissions.
