Thank you for providing a great overview of the set. It does look like a fun build with some great pieces. Looking forward to purchasing one for myself soon

Thank you for posting this very thorough review, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to your review of set 80109. Cheers!

I think it's great. I don't enjoy speed builds, but I did enjoy watching your painting take shape. The music in your video is also much more enjoyable than that of the typical speed build I too enjoy the Monster Fighters theme, and would welcome more portraits of the other monsters! Thanks for sharing!

I enjoy the Brick System Brothers channel. Very positive.

I agree, this is cool. Thanks for sharing, @Nalyd997

I agree. The lack of a license could also help avoid unnecessary criticism. It's a nice pickup truck that doesn't have to look like a specific model to be enjoyed.

Hi williejm. Modeltrainman also mentions Disney MOCs in his post. He wasn't implying that a policy exists at LEGO prohibiting the sale of animals on B&P because of their potential use in religious MOCs

I called in a Bricks & Pieces order today to order the replacement pieces for the 1989 Batmobile update. The LEGO Customer Service representative said that she would mail those out to me free of charge, which was nice of her. She also mentioned that they've received a lot of calls for the pieces since the update was announced.

Hi tismabrick, Akiyuki's Catch and Spin module can run at max speed without dropping balls. Have you adjusted the power strength of the robots? From Akiyuki's site: "The power strength of the robot hands holding the balls affects the ball-carrying motion. Robots can be prevented from dropping the balls during the ball-carrying motion by varying the ball-holding power. The ball-holding power can be adjusted using the two dials available in both sides of the module. The ball-holding power needs to be adjusted after assembling the module for a smooth function."

Hey @Modeltrainman, nice job on your Casey Jr. I'm a big fan of brick built animals, so I really like the direction you're taking with this model. Looking forward to your future updates!

@Feuer Zug@baard@JopieK@icemorons@Steamdemon Thank you all very much. Yes, the magnet is connected to the frame and not the bogie. It's a pleasant surprise to see so many comments about the model. I've posted the Stud.io file (which I tinkered with for what seems like forever). If you're curious and review the file, you will notice signs clearly indicating that this is my first attempt to make a train from the ground up. I believe I used way too many pieces in an attempt to make sure everything was secure. Learning some building techniques will help cut down on the piece count in the future, too. The best techniques I used are the ones I borrowed from set 10020. I made a minor modification while I was building it due to a connection fitting digitally but not physically, but I'm happy to say that the model is solid.

Thank you all so much for taking time to write such kind words. It was another Train Tech community topic which motivated me to start this model. I really liked the direction @firstofminifigs was taking. I couldn't take it anymore... Santa Fe Super Chief MOD/MOC @Murdoch17 My Christmas train locomotive is a mod of your Emerald Night mod @Vilhelm22 That is a great idea, but I was not able to incorporate the PF lights. I'll need to learn some better, smarter building techniques before I try to add them. Cheers, Eric

@Steamdemon Thank you very much. You are correct, that is the old magnet. It just barely fits on front. @deraven Thank you, I appreciate it. The model uses a lot more pieces than the official set. I would love to see what the LEGO designers could come up with using a much higher piece count than the original. The magnets are actually connecting on their sides in some of the pictures. Thank you for pointing that out about the couplings, I didn't even notice. @*thomas* Thank you so much :D @legoman666 Thank you, sir. I almost bought some but decided against it to keep the cost down. They would fit if placed sideways, but again, prices were a little too high. I also felt like the sides were lacking texture. The raised round tiles help with that.

Good day, I could not justify purchasing set 10020 at the current aftermarket prices, so I took some time to make my own. Some design choices were borrowed from the official set when I felt I could not improve upon them, while others were made to minimize cost. White parts represent elements which do not yet exist in the desired colors. https://flic.kr/p/21UPE2r Stud.io file Cheers, Eric
