So the "15 parts 200 each" is through the phone and the "only parts and quantities from a given set" is through the internet order??? Or is that you are ordering from Germany that has changed the ordering rules???.........I filled out a form on the internet with a quantity of parts of the off roader yesterday and I got an email confirming my order has been received and they will send another one with the bill if I would like to continue with my purchase. Haven't gotten the bill yet but let's hope for the best...P.S. I live in the U.S.A

Yeah, this sounds quite interesting. If you are successful in your purchase here in the U.S. post a comment here and let us know how it went. I might just make a purchase myself....So I am correct to say that first I call Lego Customer Service, then I ask to "order some parts" or should I mention "Lego Direct", and then I proceed to list part ID's. I was thinking the same exact thing. I have been wanting to order the 8297 Offroader for it's steering/suspension components + tires off the web but it is quite expensive. What was the price on the four tires?

This is a very nice creation. It is very simple in its design yet so capable. I was surprised that you used the normal battery box instead of using the rechargeable one to save space. Well its seems like it all fits pretty well. Bravo!

That's pretty awesome. I would have thought that there would be too much friction for the gears to turn that smoothly but I guess not. Hypnotic indeed.

i think I saw a video of another of his trucks unloading beans as well. I think it was smaller, not to say it wasn't big in the first place. Pretty impressive.

That's really nice. From the videos and pictures it doesn't look like there's enough space for you to fit all those functions but I guess you were able to

I don't think they should shut them down. I think this is a great opportunity for Lego Technic Builders but only if they handle it correctly. If they have preventative measures in place and there judges aren't cyborgs or anything then they should continue. If they are going to continue doing contests like this in the future, things like this shouldn't be allowed to happen. I uploaded creations every month except for one month I was out of the country and some were spectacular. I still haven't gotten the chance to upload them but I will. Shame on copy cats!

I just went on Lego Technic's Site to see the Top Ten and I immediately recognized that model. How silly can someone be. Solar Panels? Good thing he left his symbol in the corner of all of his pictures....True, it most certainly does show that Mahjqua's creations are truly fantastic.
