    Well yes city is rather boring, but I like model trains and that sort so you can see where I'm coming from. But the reason I bring it up is to prove the point that not every kid wants ninjago. And these are the kids Lego would market a space theme to. Civilians being attacked by the bad guys, and saved by the good guys. And this is what space police 1 was, but there were know miners or civilians for 2 & 3. And as for city, I actually lament that there's so much cops and robbers. I like the great vehicles, trains and that sort. But cops and robbers in space? Gota have it! This was my favorite which was, of course, designed by the one and only Mark Stafford.

    DRC, you are so right. And thank you for sharing you insightful view on these things. Your point that I think is most important (and the saddest) is how so many kids need story lines and TV shows in order to play out scenario's with there toys instead of thinking up there own. But on the flip side look at how well the city theme does? Doesn't get more basic than cops and robbers! And yes, your view on space travel falling out of favor is so true. As for traveling to mars? Well... We already have really. We just haven't set foot on it. Now I want to go back to city for a moment. When ever I think of city, it never ceases to amaze me that it still does so well! Especially when it's up against things like ninjago, star wars, and super heroes. City is the reason I haven't lost hope in the idea of classic Lego standard's and don't fear that they'll die off. And that is why for something like classic space to succeed, Lego will have to avoid the big bang theme route and market it to kids who like city and creator. I still do think it could work. Yes , this to is very true. When ever this subject comes up, I always think about how cartoon characters like the Flintstones, and Rocky and Bullwinkle we're designed to sell cereal! Not the other way around! Look it up.

    Well the last time I cracked open an m motor,("GASP!") I'm pretty sure that's what they used. And if its the right type of oil, it won't soften the plastic. And plus it will be less likely to attract dust which would be worse than no lubricant. But if you still want a plastic safe grease, than I suggest white lithium grease. But again, use only a little.

    Wow these are all fantastic builds! The Maserati MC12 would have to be favorite. Thumbs up.

    Ugly? Not at all! Merely simple and clean. A kid would totally want to play with that! Lego should make one. (As well functioning as yours of course.) Thumbs up.

    At the age of 18 right now, I didn't "grow up with classic space", but I can still appreciate it. If I had to pick which won I like best, I would pick mtron. But not so much the sets, but the concept. The concept of traveling to another planet and mining it's resources is very cool. And very unrealistic. That's the reason space travel has fallen out of favor. There's nothing to mine on the moon, and it's CERTAINLY not made of CHEESE! And every now and then you'll hear about them launching another tin can wrapped in aluminum foil with some solar panels stuck on it and how "OHH!" "Maybe there will be WATER on this so and so planet!" "Water?" "From another planet?" "COOL!" Not. So back to Mtron. They're mining away when suddenly they're attacked! "By who?!" BLACK TRON!!! "Oh no!" "Save us space police!" Ba da da DAAAAAA!!! SPACE POLICE!!! Serving criminals a nice big helping of JUSTICE! It may sound corny when I put it that way, but my point is Lego needs to go back to basics when it comes to classic space. Galaxy squad really was just a halo copy. And my guess is that kids would rather have fake Lego bricks and real halo, than real Lego bricks and fake halo. Bummer. So if Lego went back to basics, would it do good? I think so, when Lego introduced space police 2 they followed up with sp 3, so I assume it did well. And as for mining, look at mars mission. That did well. So why not bring back what has already proved successful? Lego can make it work if they do it right.

    I don't know much about Stephen King, but I had to complement you on your photography! Wonderful work! Thumbs up.
  14. Trekkie99
    Well done! Awesome MOC. You should do a video of the assembly and disassembly. Thumbs up.

    Three wheels in back huh? That is super unique! And working steering? Gota love it! Its funny, but I've never thought of putting working suspension on a model that wasn't RC or an equivalent. TWO thumbs up on this one! Because Octane is just cool you know!
  16. Trekkie99
    Really? Wow, what a bunch of crouches!

  21. Trekkie99
    Looks good! But I got to say, don't you wish Lego would make a five wide windshield piece? Man, would that help for my models! Thumbs up.
  22. Trekkie99
    Great model! Thumbs up.
  23. Trekkie99
    Hey! Those are really good! NPU for his teeth! Thumbs up.
  24. Trekkie99
    Well I must admit the wonder woman set is very meh when it comes to the biplane.
  25. Trekkie99
    Very good! His posture and the way you designed his eyes make him look like he's going to make a run for it.
