Bought one in the middle of the night. Got a mail in the morning saying it was out of stock. Retried, (ordered another one), suddenly got (and paid for) 2 41999's delivered. Built one, the other one is on a shelf. Maybe I'll put it up for sale in about a year. I don't feel guilty because if LEGO had their order-and-supply chain up to par, this wouldn't have happened. Also, my first time ever I "hoard" a set (had plenty of chances in the past but didn't do it).

I agree. I bought the set mainly because it was "exclusive", a limited, numberen, one-time only run. That is 99% of the appeal to me as a Technic collector. If they make another run because demand is high, they will ruin their brand. I don't think they will do it. Look at how many people have requested reruns of Café Corner, Market Street and Green Grocer. LEGO has not done that despite the fact they could sell thousands of those sets in a heartbeat. I know I would buy them, because I'm missing these from my Modular Street (as are many AFOLS).

Licensed Technic Sets.
Arfman replied to JTS's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well, I would never buy such a Technic set because, frankly, I don't like the Simpsons very much and I don't think the "toy" Technic will look pretty next to my yellow/red Technic collection. I think I'm not the only one. -
Guess what was just delivered to my house? The 41999! Beautiful box, high quality packaging, this thing just screams "Exclusive". Awesome! http://imgur.com/U7pNlhd.jpg http://imgur.com/FlKKXPn.jpg

Well, I placed a second order this morning for a friend, and got a mail it was out of stock. So I guess you ran out of luck SheepEater ...

I'm expecting them to open orders at 0:00 local time. No other option makes sense to me.

I want one. Maybe I'll buy 2, one for me and one for a good friend and AFOL. Not buying this for resale, I never do that. Buy LEGO -> build A model -> play/tinker -> build B model -> play/tinker -> decide if A or B model is nicer -> put it on shelf and admire it. That's what I do with all my Technic lego :D

Peterbilt 379 'Blackened'
Arfman replied to Bricksonwheels's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I sent you a PM, a little too much personal information for this forum :) I have never been to Legoworld to be honest, why don't you like it? Googled Fanwelt, looks awsome. And it's in November so the 1H2013 models will be there, and the weather will be bad (just as it is now) so what better time to spend on Lego? :) -

Arfman replied to Bricksonwheels's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Awesome truck! And to think we only live a few miles from each other and know each other by proxy is quite funny ;) Maybe we'll meet at Legoworld this year, looking forward to that. -
[REVIEW] 9398 - Rock Crawler
Arfman replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Very good review Blakbird! Seeing such a raving review by "Mr. Technic" himself only makes me want it more -
Lego Technic 8053 Mobile Crane
Arfman replied to Xenion's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Be advised that the 8258 is scheduled to go out of production very, very soon. Maybe stores will have a limited supply, bu this set was released 2 years ago and so will be discontinued (or maybe already isn't in production anymore). -

I would do nothing if I were you, until you hear from a Lego lawyer/representative. It might be wise to come up with a new name though, just in case. -

Thank you both! -
8110 B snow plough
Arfman replied to davidmull's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I found a post stating you can build the Snow Plow when you have the 8069 Log Loader (pneumatics) and 8264 Hauler (panels). Can anyone verify that? I tried Googling for "lego 8110 snow plow parts list" (and 10 variations) but came up emtpy, I thought there was a PDF somewhere with the exact parts needed to build the snow plow? Does anyone know where that is? Thanks!
