42144 Cherry Picker
MangaNOID replied to M_longer's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Dam that's cool! I don't know how you lot do alternative models. I don't get any inspiration when looking at a predefined pile of parts... -
Just don’t produce the lime green pulley in the first place And once they start producing everything in lbg dbg and black there will be no problem after a small overlap. Just like a lot of the old sets used to be. anyway I’m hardly being too serious but a bit less colour splattering would go a long way. Ill put my little money where my mouth is though and say I’ll be getting a whole bunch of the prementioned colours so I can build sets how I like...if I like And not have to actually buy each set.

Agree with these sensible comments being made. I don’t usually buy sets now, I’ve got enough parts to mix with so I’ll just pick a few bits from bricklink now and then. perhaps with the current inflation and interest rises LEGO will have to reconsider these exorbitant sets and revert to smaller sets to get sales. although that new pneumatic handler was on my wish list being pneumatic and small but that is over priced in my opinion too. the last set I got was the recent ATV for $79 AUD which was pallatable for my wallet. But as saidby others, so many errors in the instructions, too much colour coding and insulting our intelligence! Step 59 What the heck is that all about. how dumbed down will we get in a few more years... sticking to MOCking...haha there’s some irony Anyway still love building with Technic, but...

Yes, you very often say this sort of thing for your builds but your builds are really unique in design and I really like them too this truck looks fantastic!

I think your comments are well spoken @2GodBDGlory Credit to LEGO when making a simple functional product. I don’t build many sets probably as I get tired of stacking lift arms and panels, so right up my alley this one. -

MangaNOID replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
One thing that annoyed me with 42053 is the controls were not intuitive and this one seems the same as the levers turn side to side instead of forward backward...maybe that’s just me though. anyway I am excited as this is a ‘cheaper’ set with pneumatics!! Nice to have a change but I do prefer yellow pneumatic cylinders. -
[TC22] Volvo L180HL
MangaNOID replied to Akassin's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
We could all compliment and say this should be a proper Technic set, but it actually should! very nice The steering looks a little awkward to get to maybe? if it is that the 12t gear next to the pumper? -

Wish I could just throw something this good together -
[TC22] Dumper
MangaNOID replied to Seasider's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Always wanted to build one of these. This looks promising! I thought the lower small pneumatic valve might not be able to handle the full weight of the tipper but I just pumped one up to see and they are actually pretty good! I might need to use them more! looking forward to updates. -
The Future of Technic
MangaNOID replied to Paul B Technic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
When I bought 42042 after a LEGO absence of 30 years I was amazed at the gears and elements and how everything worked because I didn’t really understand it. But after a while paying with it modifying it getting used to all the parts and what they can do and building a couple other sets the ‘mystery’ disappeared. I think it is that lack of mystery more than anything that makes us MOC builders apathetic towards new sets. so I do not think Technic has lost its way. It’s just different than before and our views have just changed as our knowledge has changed...and well, Yea I agree there are too many cars! -
[HELP] Contests in a Subforum?
MangaNOID replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Not a fan of sub forums myself. I can’t add much more than what’s already been said about keeping as it is but that’s my vote...for what it’s worth.
