    I am disappointed with the colour choice, not because the colour is bad, but because it is unlikely Lego will ever give us a complete range of pieces with this new colour. 42039 and 42069 had a similar odd colour choice ... And a few years on, the range of parts in those colours has not improved. Just imagine if the purple wheel arches in 42069 were instead white, red, or black ?

    Thanks for sharing the excavator video. It's a joy to see it in action. And of course it would have been fun to design and build it. Great MOC.

    Very nice and creative ! Fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

    This looks much better now.

    Sir, the functionality you have packed into this small MOC is amazing !! And it looks great as well. A complete package !

    Outstanding MOC !! Your earlier Vulcan was fantastic, but this one is even better. I absolutely loved both your cars at this scale. The typical larger scale supercars are too big and heavy. I wish Lego was giving such creative sets in this scale.

    We already have an excellent mini Xerion from @muffinbrick Link to eurobricks topic Rebrickable page

    Wow, what an ingenious build. No less than magic (until you reveal the secret). Also, the mechanisms combined with such a clean look is so impressive. Thanks for sharing. By the way, the turntable is also nice.

    Everything you do is such high quality ! I am amazed. Your work ethic is inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing.

    That's too bad. I hope it's only an isolated case of bad luck. They are wonderful pieces, useful in so many ways.

    Thanks for sharing all the details. I am now getting tempted to do something extra with my own copy. I am not that skillful though. But the good thing is even failures are fun in Technic

    Looks promising. Waiting anxiously for it.

    This is so cool. Absolutely loved it. Can you please share few more pictures which show how the additional functions are achieved ? Thank you.

    Looks great. Thanks for sharing. Surely deserves a video

    Wow ! This looks stunning. If I had this, I wouldn't miss the original Such clean lines with almost all Technic (very few system pieces) is very impressive. Would love to see some of the internal mechanisms as well. Thank you for sharing.

    Nice hypnotic mechanism. Although I have to admit, I couldn't figure it out. I see that you have put it on rebrickable also. I suppose the only way to understand is to build it

    Well, its finally done. And what an amazing model it has turned out to be ! I looked at all the pictures in the thread again to see the evolution ... what an amazing journey. Looking at the final beautiful bodywork, I had almost forgotten the ingenious mechanisms inside. Thank you for sharing the model and it's creation process.

    Just to clarify, this is not the case. I am quite sure of that. The difference in my case is very minor, probably due to currency exchange rate variations. The seller is genuine, with a good history. The real issue was order got cancelled because item not in stock. I like Jim's approach, think of it as an honest mistake and move on.

    Yes, I am getting almost the same amount back, so that's not an issue. Thanks for the wisdom. I think subconsciously I did not want to leave a negative feedback either.

    Looks totally awesome and loved your design approach as well, the steady transition from sketch to reality ! There does appear to be a minor weak point though, which can easily be corrected. The 9 length liftarm which connects the rear wheel to the turn table will put too much pressure on the two pins which connect to the turn table. You may want to put a one stud gap between the pins or make it three pins.

    Need advice on a bricklink order. Seller cancelled order with reason "system error" and explained in comments that the item is no longer available. What is an appropriate response to this ? I want to give a negative feedback, since I am inconvenienced and will loose some money on international postage. (I had spent time optimizing cost across multiple orders). But at the same time, I don't want to be unreasonable, and cause problems to the seller. So wanted to get advice. Thank you.
  22. iLego
    Yes, please do. Really curious to know if it can rival the real one.

    If you are getting agitated while fighting against them, then it's probably better to "let go". I have a philosophical argument that can help you mentally disassociate more easily from this mess. We are all surviving on the shoulder of giants from the past who made great contributions. Some one discovered fire, someone invented agriculture, someone invented maths, physics etc. We are not paying IP to any of them. We are using it for free. And that has been the nature of civilization forever. So we should be greatful for what we have, and not bog our life down on petty issues That said, I think the right thing to do is to fight the injustice. But you should fight dispassionately. Don't get agitated, frustrated, or annoyed. Just be patient and persistent. Fight within your time budget. I believe most people in their heart know what is right and what is wrong. So even a small protest impinges on their conscience. They will loose sleep ever so slightly, and perhaps one day they will wake up and start following the right path.

    TLG has been treading the fine line between manual and RC very well. Given the limitations of the medium, they don't try to compete with real RC. They just motorize select portions with a single motor controlling multiple functions. So the user gets some fun of RC along with interesting mechanical complexity. I think Lego is intended more to demonstrate the mechanisms. The actual performance, like speed, lifting capacity is typically not the strong point. Some of the new flagships have been an exception to this wisdom though. Models are huge and the motors struggle to cope. Perhaps the new off roader will have surprises for us. Strong metal transmission wrapped in traditional Technic. But I feel I am hoping for too much

    Thank you @jb70. Simple changes, but should make a big difference !
