    Is there such a thing?

    Too busy producing fictional spacecraft.

    Having not had the opportunity to work on this since the initial post, and with no foreseeable opportunities to build coming up i have abandon this project. Good luck to all those that do enter, Lucy.

    Yes, the idea is that the two halves are connected, with the 'new' half helping the 'old' to get along, I've looked at pneumatics, power functions (had forgotten just how fast the old 9v motor turned), and sticking a load of gear racks to the top of a beam (there are some advantages to studded ), its getting the timing right, and in the right sequence, that's proving difficult.

    Finally manage to do some work on a possible entry to TC12, not sure if it'll get finished as build time is currently limited, but open to suggestions as to the concept. As it's the 40th anniversary the idea is to build two models as similar as possible 1 built out of modern 'studless' Technic, the other out of original 'studded' Technic, the other stipulation I have is that I will only use parts that I own, no bricklinking additional pieces. Any function on the new Technic half will have to be duplicated on the old Technic half. The idea is for the new half to move and then stop and wait for the old half to catch and then push the new half forward. LRC_3629f by Lucy R C, on Flickr The 'Studded Half' progress has been slow as I'm having to relearn how to build, think in 'even' numbers, and there was a lot less variety of parts available then.

Note to Jim & Milan, this is the first time I've ever posted pictures so if I've got it all terribly wrong please be gentle.

    There are several good books out there this one, and this one, get good reviews

    I would suggest breaking it down it to lots and selling by weight on ebay, plus there are lots of groups on Facebook in the UK for selling bulk Lego, have a look around to see what sort of prices people are getting, it's quite possible you may find someone to buy the whole lot in one go, I've seen a lot of large sales on Facebook recently.

    You eat far too much ice cream
  10. LucyCol
    I think its cute
  11. LucyCol
    Are you perceiving cost as value? To me the cost of a set is immaterial (within reason), the value comes from the enjoyment of the build, if you enjoyed building the set then I would say I have had good value out of it, yes even 42070. I never buy sets with a view to resale value, as to me this goes somewhat against the spirit of Lego

    Finally received mine, and completed building it, I think it was the most enjoyable build in a long time.

    @RetroInferno I refer the learned gentleman to my earlier comment.
  14. LucyCol
    As someone who was there at the beginning (yes I am that old), it was interesting to hear from a designer, especially as 8860 has become an iconic set over the years. There was another shorter segment looking at the very early stuff but I can't find it on YouTube, you may find it on the facebook page.
  15. LucyCol
    Excellent as always Edwin

    There are some that say the next UCS set is featured in the artwork of the current UCS set. In which case the artwork of the MF features Cloud City in the background

    Being as how fast the Saturn V flew off the shelves when first launched (Pun intended), in the UK the 2nd batch also sold out almost overnight, i would think the launch tower has a fair t middling chance of being approved.
  18. LucyCol
    Order and paid for, not sure where you get the idear that 'Ideas' sets are limited, like all sets the have a certain shelf life before they are withdrawn, but until now have never had an issue buying them. I just think demand for this set outweighed everyone's expectations. There's nothing in the spoiler, I just accidently click the button and now can't get rid of it

    Yeap works perfectly, Windows 7 & Chrome
  20. LucyCol
    I love the fact that a few photo's can produce almost 'Star Wars' forum levels of speculation, reasoned discussion.
  21. LucyCol
    Can't say any of them get me excited, although I voted for Surf Rescue purely because of the story behind it.
  22. LucyCol
    On the closed topic it worked perfectly, on this I've voted but can't see the results. I'm on Windows 7 with Chrome, and as it a company machine we have a high level Ad blocker in place.

    Nice review, but is it just me or do the mirrors look to be on the wrong way round?
  24. LucyCol
    Yes, but at the moment you have to go to the Lego House to buy one.
  25. LucyCol
    Hee hee, I'm sure you will.
