Plastic Nurak

If they're LEGO partner, purists can use these parts too . I've any excuse, now .

I love this :wub: ! Wao, the turntables ! Good job, brother!

Don't worry, this tank it's more Sci-fi than real.

If a set has to be good, this will be the #8880 Supercar .

ILI IUR IN NURAK SESSAR This arcane sentence is still visible on the top of a nuraghe door frame next the Bortigaly town. It's one of the few survived sentences in ancient nuragic language and it's sadly unintelligible, except obviously for the word 'nurak'. Since my AFOL dream is building a LEGO nuraghe (I guess it's a very difficult achievement), I decided when I registered in ItLUG community to give myself this nick. 80 is my birth year.

Interesting, at first sight I like it, but I want to recover #8421 before purchasing this one.

I liked this year mini helicopter. It's a good model for young beginners, and maybe it has been the 'pilot' for next year model .

I'd want a lot of Technic stuff :praying_smiley: .

Living in the Western Mediterranenan area, I can directly review your MOC: c'est superbe ! Yeas, is awesome and similar to a lot of town blocks I'm used to see .

Yeah, surely I've dreamed all those Modulex MOCs threads! Oh, now I'm surfing in one of these. I've got visions? http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45312&st=0&p=793042&hl=modulex&fromsearch=1entry793042 Another link: http://www.brickfetish.com/timeline/1963.html

Give my congratulations to your kid.

Uh, 'search' option, this unknown !

Uff... this weekend I'm going to buy the #8051, but reading these bad news is a bit depressing .

Good job, Eric :) . EDIT: I was giving you false hopes about a rendering made by me.

#8041... next to be a fraud... limited edition... bah*! I've seen a 8297 model displayed at July LEGOfest in Ballabio, now I think it's nice to see but a failure mechanically because of the absence of a working gearbox and a realistic steering mechanism (I hate when there's only the 'hand of god' mode !). So, I add this model to the list. *new steering part however is useful for Technic car I'm building

Comparisons with another backhoe will be unavoidable . Usually sets included in this price range are good (#8047 ...) or at least interesting, so I expect good things from this one .

Hi, Brickminer, happy to meet one of my WW fave MOCers . I take advantage of your presence, obviously if you want, to ask you a tip about building SNOT log walls, Lincoln Log-style. I'm trying it, but with bad results .

I recommend TLG to use for its brick trademark a bright red, whilst Merdabloks, Copi and other clone brands have to use a more opaque shade on it . I'm not worried, you know? I continue to see LEGO boxes go and disappear on the shelves, leaving clones taking some dust on, although maybe the pirate brands box contains twice the number of pieces there's in the LEGO one at the same price. There's some reason. One, important, but ignored by simple minded and lobbies' c**ks****r EU lawyers is that most of now parents are those former children grown in that time that parents and grannies didn't understand the deep difference being among LEGO bricks and other competitors (not clones, competitors! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, in the good old days brands that produced brick toys had their own design, like Italocremona Plastic City, Exin Tente, etc. THAT was true competiton, not today profiteering) because these brands didn't exist when, in their turn, they were kids; so when the "big guys" decided to give to their children a bricky present, they choosed randomly or one or another brand (the 'Legoes' period, sigh). Competitors plastic often was cheap (I remember some of my old Plastic City bricks broken just after a year) and sets were not as attractive as the LEGO ones. Today parents remember their childhood disappoint and think "maybe we'll spend a bit more buying a LEGO box, but quality is more important than our kids' delusion". I can say this because some dad or mum that I know told me so. And (second important statement) kids are not stupid; dumb are those adults who think so.

When I was a kid, I had a HO AR P3 Model, so big model above awakened lovely childhood memories. They're sweet, I like Bugatti in primis .

I agree with CP5670 and Imajor. I've purchased, luckily for just 99€ (about 126$90 at the current exchange), glorious #8865, one of my boyhood dreams (and forthcoming review, eh eh). It's amazing how gearbox, without clutches and other specialized parts, works. I like front lights mechanism. I don't mind if this model is not motorized, the important thing is the way mechanisms work and operate. */edited: message wasn't clear*/

Mailbox... letterbox... they're the same thing* . *or between

Ordered Monday, now I've got #8865 and re-have got #8820 !!!

IT IS a mailbox. The symbol, men, the symbol... Here there is online litterature on the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailbox , and a lot of images PS Before any other provincial one here maybe may think is a Danish symbol I report that it's the international symbol, the herald's horn.
