Yes I have a bunch of smaller bags to sort pins, gears, lift arms etc into. I will be keeping all the instruction books separate in there own bags in a separate box. Not really looking forward to stripping down the sets

Hey there all. I'm looking for some advice on how to break down collection of sets & store them for the duration of our house reno. I'm lookin at braking everything down into parts, putting them into A4 zip lock bags & buying 30 file foolscape boxes to put them into. Then stacking the boxes into the large file boxes. Has anyone done something similar? I have 50 odd sets to take apart. Biggest set is 42082 rough terrain crane Thanks in advance

Iv had a few wins lately. 42078 Mack anthem for $150.00 nzd 42082 Bugatti for $400.00 nzd 42097 compact crawler crane for $99 nzd

Looks like a of the old universal sets from the 90s. Great idea tho. But Mary 1/2 a size bigger would allow a bit more in the base truck?

Yes I have seen some of the entries. There was a nice looking white porsche that caught my eye. I was just wondering if the hot rod would fit as there's one for sale locally right now.

Hey there all. I have this set & the Corvette to go with it. I'm looking at buying 42022 hot rod to go with it. Has anyone tryed to see if it fits?

Hey there all. Got this set a few months back & picked up 42093 Corvette over the weekend to add to it. Now I'm wondering if TLG will release more cars to fill it up. Guess well see in 6 months

Thanks for that. I'll get 2 in.

How did you get the receivers to work? I have 2 of the 2.4 ghz & they dont seem to work with the Lego controller. But I haven't tried very hard though

Hey there all. These moters are all over ebay now aswell. I'm looking at buying 1 but if only had a 50% success rate with cloned power functions on ebay. Can any one recommend a store? Thanks

Any one have a good 4:1 set up?

Out of curiosity, what was the stories name & were are they based?

Yes this works a treat. I've used it on yellow as well when I rebuilt 8862 back hoe. I regerlery rebuild old sets. I usually replace the old 1/2 bushes with new ones & swap out the 14 teeth gears for the better 12 teeth ones. There's a theard on replacing old wiring with new. You will need to do this as the cables will have their insulation falling off. I never put the stickers on mine, but was able to buy all the parts with stickers on them from bricklink. (Still have the sticker sheet in my desk) There is a Ebay seller who sells repro stickers for lego sets. Check the fiber optics still work. Replacements are available on bricklink. Good luck.

Are you at the Auckland brick show this weekend?

Oh that's just showing off. What store did you get the chrome bricks from? I've seen them but always wondered if the layer of chrome screws up the clutch grip of the bricks

Thanks for clarifying that. I have ordered the corect jointers & am looking at the right wheels on bricklink now. Upshot is I'll have some spare wheels to put on the back of my 8258 crane truck when that arrives.

Hey there all. I have just recieved 8285 tow truck & am currently building it. I have noted in the instructions & on the bricklink inventory that there are 29 axle jointers. Part number 6538b but my set has 6538c in its place. Yes they both do the same job. Is this a normal change? Are there others out there with the same? Also my set has most of the metallic parts but the wheels are blueish gray. I know there were a few versions of this set. Are all 10 wheels meant to be the same? My instructions have the glint on all the wheels & tank parts.

Hi Hath Do you still have any 8455 left & would you ship it international?
