Plastic Nurak

Yes now I understand and I agree with your analysis. Strange. Spanish TENTE was released under licence in the US (and Japan) by Hasbro, between the end of the Seventies and big part of the Eighties.

Yes, Lijntje, in a studless version. I think I'll use a pulley and... (a secret and strange idea of mine ).

We want We want Some Image

Thanks, Efferman! Another "problem": i do not own this piece: Is it truly indispensable or I can find cozily an alternative solution? Excuse me for my stupid questions .

A technic question : I'm going to build a copter with two main rotor. Do these rotors need the collective pitch in real helicopters? Excuse me for this maybe stupid question .

I like to mix both the techniques. In the "supercar" I'm building, the central part of the chassis is studded and rigid, while rear and front suspension (front side with steering, of course) I use more flexible studless construction.

Aanchir, I don't realize why until just a few years ago, incompatible building toys continued surviving after decades with success (TENTE bricks were on sale until 2005, Italocremona Plastic City produced until the end of the Nineties, etc.). Why, in a little bunch of years, the trend has changed? Plastic City in Italy was still very popular at the beginning of Nineties, when Italocremona produced the then new Power Rangers line; Spanish TENTE had a lot of popularity still in the beginning of this century. Cobi was uncompatible to date. Has this new trend begun because of the Chinese cheap sets invasion that imposed this new way of planning the building toys market? Maybe not, beacuse Tyco and then MB began to produce clones earlier. So, why?

'Ene meda, I've got my own idea, he he eh...

While last month I had few possibilities to present a supercar of my own, this time I may partecipate. Uhmmmmm...

There are a lot of other threads about this topic, like this below: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43755&st=0&p=768088&fromsearch=1entry768088

Where are the pictures ?

Someone in TLC thinks we're all idiot . I hope to see this new set collcting dust on the shelves.

This one beats #8070 at least for 5-0. PS Have you too used heavily the pieces of that failure called #8041 Race Truck for your MOC, as I'm doing with my s... a-hem medium car ?

I saw a #8297 one displayed in the stand of a vendor during the last Legofest in Ballabio. I didn't like it. It has not three differentials, a working 5-speed-and-reverse gearbox and a working steering wheel. It's just a big toy with some special effect to fool the kids. If I buy it it's just to have a lot of useful parts. Long life to #8466, despite the weakness of shock absorbers.

Has this one a working gearbox ? Come membro di ItLUG sono un fallimento, vero?

TENTE wasn't a clone brand, it was incompatible.

Gasp, I don't remember my LEGO Id, so I cannot vote, shame on me .

Grohl's creations are simply fantastic. It's a shame that he and Nat Kuipers have not been hired by TLC . Let them working together and you're sure they'll create THE model, superior than #8880, #8480 and #8455 ones. When I see my bad attemps to create a third alternative model from a Technic set or a fourth one from a Creator set, I wonder if I'm right to pursue collecting LEGO models . A question: is the #8271 set designed by NK, as I remember?

I like the red offroader too much. Salut à les amis québecois .

Hola, SFRIP, your MOC is awesome. I like the futuristic bodyshape, My respect to you, one of the few tenteros who is not envious of LEGO.

LEGO should turn back and release some Universal set .

Great review for a classic model. I love it.

Kingdom theme is renewing the spirit of old Legoland Castle. And, finally, we have two horses in one set .

Rusconi is his name (typical lombard one). He said me last year he was going to create a 1:6 scaled Formula 1 racer, let's hope he make it soon!
