Thanks for the review. *sweet* This set turns up January in Australia (as does the Battle Arachnoid) so I was curious about this one. Is that the head you got? The picture shows Ha-Ya-To... 8-| This one has the weakest mini-robot, but that is hardly surprising. Overall though it looks like a great set for the money; just compare it to Sentry and Uplink! :-P

I was hoping you would chime it! How common were they?

OK. I didn't expect that! :-D Thanks for the laugh. I'll have to show my wife; she loves frogs. *sweet*

Hinckley, Hinckley, he's our man, if he can't review it no one can. *wub* I love that fish, and oddly it didn't occur to me that you would be able to change the hat... :-$ I'm pretty dim sometimes. Eitherway, I think this set looks perfect, including the windshield. With that many of those round windows you could make train! :-D

Thanks for the review Hinckley! *wub* It looks pretty good with a lot of great parts, and the platform is better than I expected. Sandy is really good too. I'm not asking for a photo, but does the helmet fit over a walrus head? X-D Eitherway, that part will be appearing in MOC-a-plenty soon! :-P Now I'm just dreading the price... :-/

My Dec magazine arrived; no free Lego this time. :'-( Just a Bionicle poster. :-/

Thanks for the tip. :-| What you don't seem to know is that he bought at least two and put one on eBay. It went for around 60 USD...

These are from the Australian Dec07 catalog that I received today.

Welcome to Eurobricks! The more the merrier! :-D

Not a problem. I wish you luck! *sweet*

It's on Peeron and Bricklink and it's from 1977. The range was called "Minitalia" and it actually isn't 100% lego; that's why it has an unusual number. Lego were forced to make sets in Italy for a while due to import restrictions so the box might say that it is made in Italy. Yours however is one of the last ones so it should actually be mostly real Lego. You can find out more here and see the full list of sets here.

Welcome to Eurobricks newbie! X-D It wasn't Hinckley's was it?

Aren't we a helpful bunch on Eurobricks? *wub* :-P That's OK! I probably should have said where the link went in my post.

That is where my link goes to... 8-|

Depends on what you want. If you want the wheel size and a similar hub then it is really easy. 7998 Heavy Hauler has 12! But if you want that exact wheel then it is a bit harder as that hub is rarer. I got mine in the 7992 Container Stacker. Dr S must have hundreds of that wheel! :-P The picture is a link to a list of sets that have it. Both types are double sided, one uses pins, the other axels.

Probably the sound of the postman delivering S@H orders! :-P The bulldozer does sound pretty cool though... 8-|

:-$ Ooops. Sorry, I should have looked first. I will print them out and add them to Sinnerton! Thanks! :-P

The Black Plague: Pure evil. I love it.... although I am a bit confused as to what is actually happening in this scene... (Nice red-crab. I have to get one of those.) Snow White: You like that tree technique, don't you! :-D Is the woodsman Jocko? :-P Black Falcon's pilgrimage Seems a bit too simple... By far my least favourite. Barn: Very interesting barn design and I love the plants and greenery. I don't think that crane would be very usefull though; the upper window is too small! Slayed Dragon Festival: A cool design, but I think the inner building is way better than the outer, especially the towers. Probably my second favorite Bakery and Mill: I'm surprised no one noticed Hinckley! :-D I think ths one is the best. I noticed you re-used your smoke! :-P The water wheel is really cool and the reeds work great. I love the colour scheme too. Overall I like all the entries.. but I do think the Journey one is a bit weak. Do I think you will win? I doubt you will win overall, but the Bakery and Mill one I think has a chance of winning its section. CCC tends to attract some really good builders, and some I suspect put a lot of time into their entries. Even so, good luck! *sweet* Did you build these one at a time and re-use the bases and other parts? That creek with reeds keeps giving me D

Yes, that is how I feel. *sweet* I never thought of that. I wanted one of those already, but now I want one even more! :-P The Ventriloquist would be cool. *wub* He is one of my favorites.

Great work. I like the "just taken out of the dungeon" look. :-D

Thanks for that. I will keep an eye out for it... :'-)

Thanks for the news... and welcome to Eurobricks! *sweet* I assume you have the new magazine. If so, what is in it?

It's called a title. You can read more about them here.

Nah, the left one is where I stow my dark grey (soon to be sub divided) and the right one is full of spare computer parts. The real bucket lives on my Paddle Steamer. *wub* Thanks. :-$ Yes, I recall at the time I was a tad confused over the picture (especially since it wasn't a walrus :-P ) but eventually I decided to roll with it. It was such a great picture too! :-D What would have happened if I said "What are you on about?!" instead? 8-| You don't post as much pictures as you used too... :'-(

This is a great example of the concept being one of the most important parts of a build; and what a concept! :-D I thought it was funny enough without the old guy! Great work. *wub* Could I have a copy of your slogans? Please? :'-) Yes, a new Power Functions remote control line is being developed. Not much details at this stage, but already it seems that the battery box, the reciever and the remote will be new. :-/ They were sold at the same time, but 4.5 volts was first. I am looking right now at a 1986 catalog that has 7720 (4.5v) and 7740 (12v) in it.
