  1. definitely L30G, think the wheels on the L40 are to big - but it could just be me maybe: http://cdn-2.psndealer.com/e2/dealersite/images/newvehicles/2013/nv342288_0.jpg
  2. All is great, still want it, but the wheels are an eyesore :( I do realise that Lego doesn't have the right wheels for the Volvo, but these are terrible Why didn't they go all the way and design ones for the Volvo, they could be used for tractors, and so many other vehicles.
  3. Well, on the box on the Polish Lego shopping page it says M motor, so it must be an error in the catalog - I'd guess the box is correct :( http://shop.lego.com/en-PL/Heavy-Lift-Helicopter-42052?p=42052&track=checkprice#shopxlink
  4. To quote Bubba J NASCAR is easy to follow when you're hammered:) Commentary: And he's making a left turn. ... a left turn .... ....
  5. As sad as it may seem, from the lego colour pallet the Medium Azure is the closest to the oryginal colours of the LeMans GT40. The second colour is orange like in the 42048 Race kart The 1966 GT40 was a great car, it would be a nice thing to have in Lego. Only thing - I'm not a collector so after a couple of days I'd be left with a pile of ugly liftarms and panels, which are hard to use in anything other than the set - the colour is an eyesore. Look for funny car on YouTube The frame in the back is in every funny car and 42050 is a funny car. The reason for the frame is for the car not to flip when it accelerates, because it lifts the front wheels when it's accelerating. The car has no need for steering as it's racing in a straight line Americans, they either race in a straight line - drag, quater mile or just keep making a left turn - NASCAR.
  6. Love the set, still don't know if I should buy it or hope for a new set with similar functions
  7. It feels great to be the rest of the world:) Don't have to many pigs to drive them around in the pickup truck ;) As Germany is a next door neighbour, think I could give the bwe a go as well
  8. I'm guessing that's why the poster says "express yourself" Probably meaning modify the sets to make them your own. If it's not 42029, then maybe the new ip car will be a copy of 42029 only it's going to be called Raptor, think it's a Ford. It's a 42029 on big wheels with low profile.
  9. Oracid, Try Sariels' book "The unofficial Lego Technic builder's guide" http://sariel.pl/2012/06/my-book-available-now/ I found it quite easy to follow :)
  10. Great review, just can't get over that front, looks like my first attempts at mocs :) Going to get it anyway
  11. Looks cute:) But think I liked the crane better. This model B looks a bit like a forklift that went under a low bridge and didn'tmake it. Really like the A model
  12. The set is quite accurate, it's not ugly/stupid or whatever it was called, it's just purpose build: If you take a look under the shell (and the body is a shell - it lacks sturdiness as unlike a normal car, it's not necessary for the funny car to stay in one piece) of the Funny Car it looks much like what Lego gave us. So you can't blame TLG for how someone designed the original - they recreated it quite well.
  13. Some parts are Technic lookalikes but they are in fact http://www.ubtrobot.com/en/ I would think that they shouldn't be allowed to "pirate" the parts that are less than 25 years old, as they should still have the patent protection, at least in Europe.
  14. I think you should have priorities in life and as you chose the right sets of priorities, four of them to be exact, you should have a serious talk with your family. They have their priorities mixed up, you didn't get the missing pieces for Xmas :)
  15. Sorry Paweł, I'm afraid the 42052 B model looks like a GMH - genetically modified hamster, your pets might be scared of what's coming next:-)
  16. couldn't breath I was laughing so hard ROFL anyway, looks great, my wife says looks better than 41999 (she says that lego needs bricks, studs and can't have holes ) like how you put the battery and IR between the spares on the back.
  17. I am new to all of this, but a logical explanation of "All future PF will be compatible with the new platform introduced with WeDo 2.0." Is that the PF 2.0 will have new connectors, as were just introduced in WeDo 2.0, you will be able to use the sensors provided in WeDo 2.0 with your PF 2.0 to enhance your Lego Technic experience. It doesn't have to mean that Lego will handicap the PF solutions and make them unplayable, especially since they probably realize that the AFOLs are an important part of their market for the Technic line and the AFOLs build big MOCs that need powerful motors, that the MOCs are what shows what you can build with Lego Technic when you are not limited by the enduser price. Maybe it is made like that on purpose as WeDo is aimed at kids and teaching so it's better if the connector is firmly connected and the User - child can be sure it's correctly connected
  18. that would work great, just one but, I like to take the sets apart to build them from ground up, like the Arocs, the first big set I got, somehow the learning in it is a huge part of the fun. So I would still take the thing apart and build it from page 1 :)
  19. You mean like in 8063? Wouldn't count on Lego supplying enough pieces for us to build multiple attachments
  20. Meaning what exactly, you take apart your Claas or Volvo and build yourself an attachment, which you attach to.... what? you just took apart the a model to build the b model. please correct me if I'm wrong.
  21. I might be wrong, but from what I understand, the thing you are trying to build is a transverse subtractor and if I understood what Sariel wrote correctly, the idea behind the contraption is to drive and turn a threaded vehicle
  22. That is a mighty nice vision, dream even. Could give it a +1
