So this is this years flagship? Weren't there rumours about a big pneumatic set likeca backhoe or something?

Those Lalandia houses seem really nice. I am up for it as well.

Hi all, since most of you guys seem to be "veterans" of the event, I'd like to say something from a point of a "novice"-to-be. First thought on my mind was big disappointment of course. I was really tempted to join for quite some time, practically from the first time I heard about it from my colleagues from our LUG, and I finally decided to take part. I guess the news of terminated support for the event felt like a slap in all our faces, but I surprised myself with getting over it rather quickly. I can live without e-store, but I'm not sure how to feel about visiting the factory... Who knows if i'll be able to attend next time, so I am still dwelling on that programme with the factory. Since the price of 2000 DKK is not so easy to swallow, I can see that none (most) of you, who's been there already, won't even consider to pay that sum, but I would like to know your opinion whether it is worth it or not? I suspect not many of the participants will decide to go for it, but still - should there be a smaller group of people willing to go, is there still a chance to do so? When, at the latest, should we decide for it? Regarding TLG's behaviour towards AFOLs in recent years - overall, to them it is just business - "love" shared with the community and AFOLs in particular is only as deep as they need it to be. It seems they are doing better than fine even without caressing a rather small percentage of their customers - us AFOLs - and why? Because we love their product to much to turn away (I can speak for myself, not to genralise to much), no matter how they treat us. Regardless how it turns out and what will the final programme of the event be, I am still very much looking forward to this pilgrimage Best regards, Miha

Very nice - you should enter this one in Mad Max contest.

I agree on the body - looks fantastic! I don't mind the high chassis, but I don't like that the mudguards are so offset regarding the wheels - kinda looks like the chassis is to long for the body. Otherwise great work. I was thinking something similar, but I guess I'd better get a new idea while it is still time... Best regards, miha

Spot on! Thank god we have @imurvai

Great mechanism combined with strings!

Fantastic looks and function! Best LEGO bus I've seen! Kneeling axles are THE bomb! I tried hard to find something on the "could be better" side, but there just isn't anything... Seems your pet count rises with each new video How many are there now?

I love the video (and the itsy bitsy spider as well of courre), it makes you MOC look very creepy. Also that combo of very slow and sudden fast movement makes it look very authentic. Job well done

Oh they are coming all right! I bet you'll feel like Santa reading all those questions by Tuesday

Despite the silence on the forum...the excitement is on! Great topic and great prizes Jim! Thank you very much for the arrangement. It's been so long since I've managed to compete and I really hope that this time I actually do.

I like the new differential a lot. I hope it can be opened as pleased. A minor minus is that idler gears in the diff have some play because they don't have their own axle on the differential housing.

Another example you can see here: but it gets a bit to vertical so only good for truck, at least in this configuration that I used...

@Cumulonimbus : I know how you feel. Luckily, life blessed me and my lady with two great boys after... stay strong and don't give up. Best regards, Miha

Sariel starts on Dec 26th i believe.

I feel you!

Added images to the gears look fantastic! Thanks for all the effort. Very very useful app!

OMG, are they serious with those front outriggers?!

Mmmmmm, ok I'll take my pills with me then...

I have no idea really. Could be my indescribable charm and my SNOT TECHNI(C)que that made her loose it... (Sorry for off-topic guys - I guess I am too excited about EB event)

@Redhead1982 promised me a private tour through Billund, so there is no way I could miss this one therefore please count me in as well. I am already pretty excited as I heard nothing but good stuff about EB events. Thank you very much and see you there. Best regards, Miha

So it says in the interview with a TLG representative on Brothers brick blog. Only pure LEGO on BL from "now" on... I also think that it doesn't matter if something good will come out of this, the price per part will RISE... and that is all I care about. So bottom line - not good at all.

I don't see how some of you see this one as a successor to 8460? It doesn't even reach its knees. Apart being a rather solid yellow panels pack and the new actuator it doesn't speak to me at all.

That I don't know. I haven't asked...

I contacted Conchas. He says tomorrow the embargo on the set will be lifted so we can expect it tomorrow ?
