16+ now makes more sense. They should have put the arrow other way round. Way more animal friendly. -

the only blue is 42042 blue. That is the same blue as they used in late70s/early80s (damn I am old), when there really was 1 blue, 1 red, 1 grey... -

it is crazy to pay RRP. regardless if you are billionaire. to illustrate: currently on Amazon (co.uk - but german .de has nearly identical deals now): 42052 GBP65, 42053 GBP48 !!!, 42055 GBP133 42070 will be available for reasonable price eventually too. -

I see double frame chassis, reinforced by frames, L arms, most of the gearbox is in between the frames of the chassis, so is the motor. I seriously doubt it would bend noticeably. I call perspective and camera distortion. Plus bending and flexibility is the part of any structure, if it is real life bridge or Lego car. Design question is always, where, how, how much. -

[MOC] IS-7 Heavy Tank
J_C replied to Tommy Styrvoky's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
long time ago I built a system bricks racing sailboat. I learned that mast made from 3x more 4023 flat 2x2 round plate barrels is stronger that mast made from 3941 1L tall 2x2 round barrels. Tank is great BTW. -

I would like to break the stream of whining and complaining and ask: "Did you notice the springs behind the seats in 42069? - Any idea what that might be for?" Thanks. -

totally common where I live. Fire department does not only fight with fires but also help and rescue during floods, after storm if there are trees fallen in the river (I live by the river next to the bridge and often there are fallen trees stuck on the pillars - that is exactly when fire rescue car with boat arrives, they go the the boat with chainsaws and later crane the tree out, or in the spring when river gets blocked by melting ice - fire department sorts that out too), car accidents, all sorts of non-fire events. Even bee/wasp swarms if it arrives to your garden or cat stuck on the tree. Boat is totally realistic. -
I am usually not into the buildings but this one is charming.

4cylinder for 42070? LEGO is also downsizing? -
