    It's the bike and search ship for me, best looking, best parts, best value. That bulldozer is awesome in Blue.

    Cheers!...wow some really useful recolours there for modding, especially 62462 in Pearl Dark Gray/Gun Metal/Titan Metal. Also 33299 could be very handy for colour matching: Are you planning any speed builds or reviews? - edit - this channel has speed builds: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJv-qZ2ynfkR-UCA7_VSh7Q/videos

    Got another haul of parts today.... And YES...they are genuine Lego parts, bought from www.toypro.com https://www.toypro.com/en/product/7535/technic-liftarm-1-x-15-thick/dark-blue ToyPro messed up my order for the 1x15 liftarms in Dark Blue, they sent me Black....to do their credit, they sent another package with the correct colour, not only that but they sent me 15 of the liftarms instead of 10 :-)

    The Chinese have already copied the new Technic sets, clones of the Container Yard already out....also, a clone of 41999. And someone you YT bought the White 911 GT with Red rims.

    Is there any instructions for this B model mod/moc?
  6. Richard Dower
    Sounds like a cost reduction effort...but, i have seen issues with that polarity switch, if in the wrong position it can give the impression that the PF parts are not working...because the switch is in neutral. i experienced this issue with my build of 8258.
  7. Richard Dower
    You should come up with a new type of engine block....the Technic part has been around since the dawn of time.

    i wasnt attacking you...i was defending you, i was talking about the other posters that were attacking you....the lack of UNBIASED modding, certain mods have favourites and defend them or just let them get away with anything they want. of course....you cant say anything, anything you do gets deleted...or they quote the rules at you and say, go to pm if you have an issue...this is not a democracy....LOL!, i love that one.
  9. Richard Dower
    i still havent built this set, i got it in an offer for €165 brand new....but its in the closet collecting dust
  10. Richard Dower
    anyone spot anything thing else juicy?....i have been looking at non Technic sets to see if i can come across any interesting parts, often system parts used on old Technic sets get re-released. So lets say i was looking for brand new parts used in 8462, each year you find certain parts get printed again....which is cool.
  11. Richard Dower
    lots of whiners on that thread, imo this is a rather important set for technic fans and parts buyers....and here is why: BAM!....need i say more?....41999 mocers rejoice!, first timers can now aquire several of the rare/exclusive parts at the reasonable cost. no more €4-10 PER part bs. also, we've only had one previous technic ship, ok....so it dosent do much, it hasent got technic features or functions....but it looks great and is a top parts pack. there is alot of the superior complexity bs and backseat modding going on in this forum....imo this forum has quite a few very rude members. 42059 in White: Another 42065 review:

    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!.....yesterday i got a package of parts with all the exclusive Metallic Silver and Dark Blue elements (brand new)....so i can now build. i wont bother with the printed 2x4 tile or the white line around the wheel rims, everything else will be 100% part accurate :-)
  13. Richard Dower
    the torpedos and launch system is great....nice use of pneumatics as well.
  14. Richard Dower
    my bad...mods, please delete or lock thread.
  15. Richard Dower
  16. Richard Dower
    meh...sariel, do the B model of the pullback sets, it looks more interesting.
  17. Richard Dower
    Can i offer one piece of advice/mod sugestion.....this part on Flat Silver, trust me :-) http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=32187&colorID=95&in=A And use Black 6558 pins....it will look alot better. use this part in red on the front: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=48989&colorID=5&in=A you used certain LBG parts that i personally would have used red, to colour match. you could use this part in black on the wheel hubs: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=4185&colorID=11&in=A
  18. Richard Dower
    Wow....you guys are coming up with some crazy mods! FYI>....the 2017 search ship will have those curved panels with white, have you seen the pics of the model?
  19. Richard Dower
    Effer...someone bought some parts and did a video review:
  20. Richard Dower
    IMHO....i am very meh on the sets thus far, i think the bike and search ship are the only ones i will get. I like parts of the small sets....i like the Orange vehicles but meh on the rest. As stated, i think i will just part out and build the bits i want. Also...these small sets seem more aimed at the City theme.
  21. Richard Dower
    People do that Blackbird?....hmmm, i have bought from this seller many times and he is very legit, he got me alot of rare parts in unique colours. I have been rather obsessed with collecting Pearl Dark Gray parts. After building and seeing 8434 i fell in love with that colour. I must take a picture of my stash :-) Cheers...i was actually trying to find that thread, but...i am trying to limit things to Technic elements....as i spot them. I have deffo seen this part in Brown and Tan/Beige colour.
  22. Richard Dower
    I have been thinking about trying to build 41999, i have 9398....to save money on PF parts i would like to use the stuff in 9398. The V2 IR was very easy to remove, just two pins....but without taking apart 9398 or removing a tons of parts....is there any easy way to get out the servo motor or the L motors without too much hassle? Or is it a nightmare job that would require a big rebuild?

    according to the database yes, its probably an in-house test mould or colour variant, but its a legit Lego part...just never officially released. Look at this 1x16 liftarm: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=liftarm02#T=C
  25. Richard Dower
    True....as i have seen Part #3743 for sale in Yellow and Red: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3743#T=C http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Lego-Technology-Technic-1-pcs-Gear-rack-Rails-10-Teeth-3743-yellow-4211450-New-/142194260356?hash=item211b703984:g:MfIAAOSw9r1V-n~3 http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Lego-Technology-Technic-1-pcs-Gear-rack-Rails-10-Teeth-3743-red-4211450-New-/132017612396?hash=item1ebcdce66c:g:yr4AAOSwQTVV9FQ4
