Technic 2018 Set Discussion
Globemaster8 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The Mack engine looks pretty cool, I like the fact that it's different from pretty much any other engine from most recent twchnic sets. Variation is good. -
The Chateau du Chaumont is another building that I'd love to see in Lego. And yeah, I've always wanted to go to the Neuschwanstein Castle; it looks amazing!

[PRESS RELEASE] 75192 - UCS Millennium Falcon 2017
Globemaster8 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Wow. This set is definitely the most detailed ever, without a doubt. Shame I'm gonna have to build another room in my house though (if I am to buy it)!!!!!!! -

I love the sound of here sets, especially the Mack Truck. I'm guessing that these will be the 1h sets and that there are no rumours about the 2h sets, correct me if I'm wrong. -
Another amazing review Jim! It's always a pleasurable read! I must say that whilst the treads are unique and do look pretty cool, I prefer the model with Unimog tires with yellow rims. Other than that the model looks great, and the features are nice (I just love those doors)! I'm afraid that I just can't bring myself to buy this set this summer. It's either this set or the Saturn V (which to me is a pretty easy decision)! Looking forward to reading the review of 42068!

LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors
Globemaster8 replied to Stash2Sixx's topic in LEGO Star Wars
If Yodas Hut is at $30 (which I'm guessing is around £26) then that's perfect like @TheRealDickDastardly said to MOC. It would be so cool to add a swamp with half an X Wing sticking out of the surface! -

42069 looks nice, I look forward to seeing your review Jim! At my first impressions, I'd see how the model looks without the stickers. Is that a comparison that you did in your review? -

The reason why I like numbered bags is that I like to be organised. I can't stand a huge miss mash of parts, taking up a huge amount of space. I suppose I'm a little ocd that way. Whatever floats your boat I suppose. -

Numbered bags are great. Nobody wants 2000+ pieces randomly put on the table, and I don't want to spend most of the day organising the parts. I wish Lego could give a reason why they've done this, like most people have said: it's such a big pain!!!!!!!!! -

If you can get the BWE cheaply, then I'm in!!! The only problem with that (to me) is the incorrectly placed clutch gear in the main gearbox. It has so many less problems than 42070. And it also looks awesome! -
Another great review Sariel, well done! If I was to buy this set, then I'd probably change the purple for another colour and add wheels. To me this set looks so much better with them; looking like a dune buggy or something!
-
Another great review Jim, the pictures were (as usual) crisp and perfect. Whilst the review was great, my personal opinion is that the set isn't. It's overly priced and lacks the quality of previous flagship and 2h sets. Again that's just my opinion.

MOC-HUGE Robin Hood Diorama-Custom Lights
Globemaster8 replied to Ben Pitchford's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Amazing build, well done! I have to say, one of those village huts would be perfect as a Lego set and something I'd buy in a heart beat!- 30 replies

A licensed truck could be anything, it covers a wide range (in my opinion). I don't think that it will be similar to the Arocs. A catamaran sounds really interesting, and I'd like to see that rumour come true. A rally car at about 1400 pieces would be perfect, especially if it had a V6 or V8 engine and four wheel drive (with diffs).

Nice review, and well done on getting the gold badge! I wasn't so sure about buying this set but now I'm temped to get it.

An old school Lamborghini would be amazing! And in a colour like lime green for the real 80's effect!

Nice photo Jim, looking forward to comparing your opinion of the set with Sariels. -

Hope to be reading the review soon Jim! Have you received 42068 and 42069 yet? -
Technic 2017 Set Discussion
Globemaster8 replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'll wait to see what Jim's view of the three sets and the remaining two of Sariels reviews, but I honestly don't know if I'll be buying a technic set this year. I often only buy one or two sets a year, but I make sure that they're quality sets. I don't know I'll have to see but at the moment, I'll only be buying the Saturn V (which is still annoyingly out of stock). 42070 looks as if it isn't a bad set, but not the set it could have been. -

I love the look of BB-8, it will go perfectly with UCS R2D2. If only I had the UCS R2!!!!!!! Anyway, it will still look cool on its own. -

@Sariel thank you for the review! It was interesting to see how it scored, but part of me is not surprised! (Just by a feeling I got when I first saw pictures of it). -

To me 42070 looks like it has a pretty neat steering system, just by first look. -
Awesome! I love the techniques used in the build and this brings the model to life! Well done! I wish I had the pieces (and the time and skill) to do a build to do this quality. Have you ever considered doing a build such as Château de Chaumont or the Neuschwanstein Castle? They would go well along with this set!
