To be fair I think she doesn't have any idea what's going on. It's good enough if they know there's a problem and lets hope someone will fix it soon.

Thanks Zblj. Did not know this "feature" existed.

So I've also been having this problem for the last couple of days. Don't really recall exactly when. ldd.lego.com works fineassets.lego.com and cache.lego.com comes up with 404 errors but 171.20.33.11 results with This site can’t be reached 171.20.33.11 took too long to respond.

I've put this into the 42056 including the mod for the front suspension. Wonderful indeed. Thanks Didumos69

Madoca's AVTOROS Shaman drew a lot of attention like many of his previous models. And there are many other MOCers here who have made and even shared instructions for their models for free. For sure there are many builders who would like to build many of these awesome models but do not have enough parts. Along comes a China manufacturer who packages the sets and offers them for sale. Suddenly, builders no longer need to BL or take apart several other sets to build. This is a very tempting offer indeed. If that manufacturer had offered the original MOCer some form of share in profits etc. would that appease members here? Someone making money from it is unfair indeed but the MOCers had already shared their instructions for free without expecting returns. This topic is complicated as I think there are many LEGO sets that builders would like to have eg. retired Star Wars and modular sets but you cannot find them at an affordable price and trying to BL them is such a long, expensive process. These China brands are filling a large gap in the market which established players did not or would not want to. LEGO fans have been asking for a reissue of the 10179 UCS MF but it never happened. Now you can get a LEPIN one. The only people it really hurts are those who recently paid a lot of money for the real thing thinking it's going to go further up in price.

Just completed the build and it's great. Thanks for the errata. Very easy to follow.

Lovely telehandler. An LDD file would be great if no instructions are made. Good enough to assist in building. Many thanks in advance.

The link to download the LXF is not working?

Just to let you know I'm following this project and trying to build with LDD. It's possible but not easy. I love this vehicle. Many thanks for making LXF files available.

Funny LEGO never made a new battery box to encourage use of 1.2V rechargeable batteries. So much for being Green and all...

Would be great to have an LDD file for this.

Hope these help. Left 8297, right 42029

I didn't manage to read all the comments before this but here's my take on the issue. 1. You can never fight piracy and win. The process only goes to enrich those IT people who are more than willing to get you to use/pay for their encryption methods. 2. eBooks are great as it is more convenient than an actual book but it can't beat paper. I do hope you continue with eBooks. 3. I haven't been able to buy or read any of your books but hope to do so when I have more time to read.

Been lurking all this while... I'd say the 42009 was the set that brought me out of the dark ages. Have read almost all the recent comments on this thread and see that this is the same set that has brought many of us back to LEGO. It is really a toy that brings us back to our childhood although the 42009 was a really tough set to build.

With so many requests for the LDD file, would it be possible to put in on a fileshare site and have a link to it here? Thanks!
