    Who's going to be first? I have the sets,but not the time. Waiting on first competed, and first mod. Maybe someone should start a new thread for this model and mods? Maybe call the thread "40 Year Chassis, instructions, builds, hints and mods" and include the link to the instructions in the first post? What say, Jim? Andy D

    Been waiting, sets on my shelf! Now to build! Only one problem, I was going to start the 42063 BMW alternate... what to do,what to do? Andy D

    You know you are OTD (like me) when you use Roman Numerals for your birthday. Thanks for pointing out the PV GBC. I will have a look at that. I agree that the 42055 is a great parts donor, good value even at retail, but with a discount... All the better. I would get a second for parts, but I am running out of space to store! I will probably build once, then part out anyway. Andy D

    Great job! The original was one of my favorites. Amazing functions! And, you are not that old! Andy D

    I have not experienced a Technic set that I would say is hard to build. I have had some sets that are more complex like the 42009, but the complexity only added to my enjoyment. I try to be organized when I build and check my assemblies as I go. But if I make a mistake and have to go back, I feel that contributes to the learning experience. i have not built the 42055, so I can't comment on it. I really enjoy complex builds, the more complex, the more I learn, the more I enjoy. Andy D

    I agree, name and email not needed! I don't really like any survey that starts by asking for personal information. But I will answer your main question. For my storage solution, I use a multi-pronged approach... I use Plano boxes where they are useful... mainly small Technic I use Akro-Mills drawer systems for other mostly Technic The rest (standard bricks and stuff) I use plastic food storage bags in 15 quart plastic bins. There is some overlap in what I store using what system depending on circumstance. Finding shelf space for all that... That's the real trick. My main goal in my storage is knowing where to look for specific brick-types, if I have one. IHTH Andy D

    Nice little camera dolly. Good size, looks like you can get real close to the action with this rig. Andy D

    Very nice truck. The lift gate is really very, very clever. I have a feeling others will "borrow" the design for other uses. I would not build a truck, but I would like to find a way to incorporate the mechanism into something else. overall... Great! Thanks for sharing an for such detailed photos. Andy D

    I have been using the LED kits from Brickstuff. They are rather costly, but they are small, fit into and under LEGO bricks and the wires are easy to conceil. I don't know the connector type,but they are small. IHTH, Andy D

    I think I remember one of the videos referencing that the chassis instructions would be released in August. I really don't see the need to wait until then (except to build more hype... mission accomplished) as all the sets required are already available, in fact I have them just waiting for the instructions. I would really like to see some more detailed photos so that maybe I could attempt the build before the instructions are available. oh, well, Andy D

    I am missing my 8258 Crane Truck. I had 2, for some reason I sold both,one used, the other NIB. I am not going to pay $400++, so I will look for a trade, not looking too hard, but one day it will sneak up on me. Andy D

    There is a really cool thread about storing and sorting, that continues to be updated, great resource... Your info would be a great addition. Have a look.

    I must have a very understanding spouse, because she only says that the LEGO must stay in my studio, and must not to encroach in her hobby room under penalty of... I don't want to find out what the penalty is, I just keep my LEGO in my studio. As for collection size, according to Brickset with 186 sets that are 105,000 parts my ranking is 33,867 for sets and 8,450 for parts, so I guess my collection is small, but I am running out of space. Although I do have quite a few sets that have not been entered into my Brickiest database. Must slow down. but then last night I bought the 10255 Assembly Square (4002 parts). What to do, what to do... Andy D

    I think something may be off. Rebrickable says I have 116 sets that are 105,000 parts and it is way out of date. With some 466 sets I believe you must have closer to 400, 000 parts from sets. In order to not let people form an opinion on the size of my collection, I keep it well stored out of sight. Note to self: Quit looking at Rebrickable, quit buying so much LEGO. (not gonna happen, but I have slowed down) Andy D

    I don't think the "seller" really wants to sell the item. Sell price $600, shipping $60... You have got to be kidding me! Just MHO, YMMV, Andy D

    I have only used lighting products from Brickstuff and my experience with their products and customer service has been great. I highly recommend their products. Just MHO, Andy D

    Thanks @CopMike I got my Huge Manatee A today. Not sure what it is, but it certainly looks interesting. If anyone has a pic of how Huge Manatee goes together I would appreciate it. Thanks again for organizing this raffel and prizes, always fun! Andy D

    What are you posting? You have posted no photos on Eurobricks, and no description. i an not sure it is safe to follow a link off-site from a first time poster.

    The only thing I have been able to figure out is to display a few sets, and store the others. The rotate the sets so some sets are in my storage area and some on display. i think it is better to display a few special things than to try to display them all. When all things are special, nothing is special! Just MHO.YMMV, Andy D

    Whoops! Sorry any confusion I may have caused. No matter what the designation, I am still surprised there didn't seem to be a mention of it at the NY Toy Fair. Andy D
