    That is a really nice looking moc and very well done on such small scale

    I highly doubt it has nearly 4000 parts. Though there are very easy ways to bloat the part count, 4000 for a helicopter is a lot of parts. It’s also very strange that it has the exact same price and part count as the Ferrari which is why I didn’t post this back when I first saw this last week. Also, this one by Jeroen Ottens is already 1 meter long and “only” includes 2600 parts: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-56765/Jeroen Ottens/large-helicopter/#info.

    Awesome! That is definitely a nice color to have instead of red, which almost always sticks out like a sore thumb.

    That's totally fair. I can't think of a build that combines buggy motors and a reliable gearbox. Closest would be Sheepo's Veyron or 911, but the speed and reliability are definitely not great. Depending how much you need, you could just buy the Batmobile. It's around €80 here right now (edit: €62,90 on Alternate.de, don't know if they ship to you), and it does include a nice bunch of black panels for that price. Alternatively try calling LEGO and ordering parts via the phone. Chances are they'll accept the order and you'll have them in 6 weeks or they'll put them on backorder and they'll send them as soon as PaB is back.

    That is really well done. Impressive you've managed to keep the gearbox in tact. How is the speed? How much faster is it than 4x L motor + 2x BuWizz?

    Those connectors look more like white than LBG.

    Great work! Your building style looks super clean and everything looks sturdy. My only complaint is the bonnet (frunk?). Maybe some intakes would have looked nice (similar to P1). Otherwise it’s a great looking build. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

    I know it doesn't always work but in some cases you could do 2x normal 2L pin with a 4L lightsaber bar connecting the two.

    White half pins have returned in the 10300 DeLorean. Pretty sure they are frictionless but either way, nice to have.

    Yeah it's a mess. I hope new parts get added soon because I always need more. Anyway, I think I kind of managed to break the system because I placed an order through Bricks and Pieces even though it's no longer available in my country. Most of the new parts show up and are in stock, with some small exceptions here and there. It showed up in my cart as a PaB order. Placed it, got accepted and it's now in warehouse. Now just to wait two months for the shiny new parts to arrive (slightly outdated screenshot since it says "processing" rather than "in warehouse" but for some reason I can't get the images loading today)

    Looks nice in white. The files seem to be corrupt according to my PC though.

    Apologies if it's already been mentioned, but alongside the soft (lbg) shock absorbers discussed earlier in the "general part discussion" topic, Bricklink also has a new entry for the hard (yellow) shock absorbers, with a slightly updated coil. I wonder if the stiffness changed, but I would assume it's the same.

    I also feel addressed There’s one 1x3 flip flip beam in the Apollo IE and some 1x3 liftarms with all 3 holes being axle holes, but it’s usually quite easy to come up with an alternative anyway. Btw: you don’t need to paint anything for a fully LEGO 488 Pista (not anymore) Anyway I don’t really think it’s the right place for the discussion about purism/purists, but personally I like to attend LEGO fan conventions with my models, and off branded stuff is not always appreciated. I am far from a purist and will (when necessary) paint parts, cut axles (for example 8 long into 7 long axles, very rarely though) and on very rare occasions use off branded panels (white wheelarches or DBG panels for example, two colors very hard to match with paint).
  14. LvdH
    Can confirm. I recently received the Apollo IE (with the white top batterybox) only came with the batterybox and a very short USB to micro USB-B.
  15. LvdH
    CaDA sold quite a large amount of the C61042 from what I have seen on various social media platforms and forums, and I have yet to read a report of a battery exploding.

    I hope the little gaps in the system parts is a user error, not a design or quality error. I’ll update the index later.
  17. LvdH
    Yeah that's pretty much LEGO nowadays. The F150 Raptor lacks the one function that differentiates it from the normal F150: 4WD. It's even written all over in the instructions. And it took fans no more than a few weeks to fix that issue.
  18. LvdH
    All of the new parts and recolors are available on Bricks & Pieces. Unlucky for the countries where LEGO has merged PaB with B&P, because they're not on PaB...

    Awesome moc. Those lights are fantastic.

    According to Promobricks, it will be a Ferrari Daytona SP3. Also, according to their most recent info, the set will be coming this summer after all. The Liebherr might be delayed instead though. https://www.promobricks.de/lego-technic-2022-summer-new-info/139490/

    They're also saying it might be delayed: https://www.promobricks.de/lego-technic-2022-summer-new-info/139490/

    Are those white soft axles 11 long? The part number doesn't match the 12 long part number. Edit: yes, they are, according to Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/blog/466/review-42140-1-app-controlled-transformation-vehicle/

    It looks okay but still not quite right and a bit messy in some places. The front wing is completely wrong, there’s two panels sticking out of the side, most of the part between the halo and spoiler is too wide. Other than that it looks better than the official set imo.

    I guess “younger” is relative When I said younger I meant like <15 years old.
  25. LvdH
    It’s what gets clicks with the younger audience. I’ve never been a fan either.
