    Yep, I implemented a gearbox and manual operations. There are 4 different HOG functions in the front: HOG steering HOG gear shifting HOG left door HOG right door Plus, the rear wing is extended & retracted via a hidden gear underneath the rear.

    Sadly the photos don't display for me, links are broken. I wonder if it's just me... Would've loved to see this!

    I've seen that happen in clothing webshops too. Something like "spend over 100 bucks to get 30% off". Then, adding a 10 bucks item to a 95 bucks cart will decrease the total.

    @Zerobricks Thanks for the bump, I missed this last year... @Attika Awesome build! So will you attempt an even larger model now, with the new #7 connectors to make the wheels?

    If it's instead the white 3L friction pin, then we're talking 24 years. Only 1 was included in 1 set back in 2001: https://rebrickable.com/parts/6558/technic-pin-long-with-friction-ridges-lengthwise-2-center-slots/15/ There's a fun article about the white pin here: https://brickset.com/article/42059/is-this-the-rarest-technic-piece-ever

    Very impressive and fascinating project! I'll be eagerly following your write-ups.

    I'm just impressed by the way Technic and System bricks have been combined. Normally I'm very wary of mixing them, as the result will easily look jagged and just wrong. But here it works. Very skillful!

    What I really hate about this is that the text is likely partly AI generated, then likely used to train further AI models... Marketing is in an AI slop driven spiral of brain rot.

    There are nice videos on YouTube of people trying various ways to get lift with Lego. They might give you some inspiration. My favorite:

    Didn't have that on my 2025 bingo card!

    @barbanera Nice detailing! I've been wondering if some lines could be sharpened using the newer, shorter panels that are now available in Lime...

    Yep that looks like fun, well done! I like how the color scheme of the model matches that of the building in front of which you filmed.

    Would've been nice if they had made a comparison with the #4 connector. I expect this elbow piece to be slightly longer than the #4 connector. Explanation here

    Haha, I find it really hard to take reviewers seriously when they comment on shaping and bodywork details, when their build has obvious mistakes...

    Coming in Red, in set 72037 (the big Mario Kart).

    But won't that make the stems fall apart easily when rearranging flowers? Unless the frictionless end accepts a pin? I don't know, haven't yet had the 5L axle connector in hand.
  17. astyanax
    Interesting usage of the new 5L axle connector (5443), holding up the big sign.

    We have a whole topic dedicated to this question. Great to see quite a few of the suggestions on the first page have already been realized. But specifically for 1:12 scale with little room for creating attachment points for bodywork details, I'd say we could really really use and but with axle holes only!
  19. astyanax
    Affirmative.

    9L flipflop beam in Black, in set 31216. Source

    Indeed! Just last weekend I built the Concorde, after borrowing the disassembled set from a friend. While the landing gear mechanism is marvelous, to me the building experience was not perfect, because there was no moment, even during the build, where its entire operation could be observed and admired. Essential parts of the mechanism get covered up before it's fully functional, and then you have to push an axle into a hole of the mystery box, and suddenly it all connects and works. Great stuff, but not 100% satisfying to my Technic heart.

    I see like 2 white beams, is that a ton?

    "Hi everyone, this is @Ngoc Nguyen on RacingBrick!" Congrats! Edit: ah, Jay Psi beat me to it, oh well
  24. astyanax
    Ah yes I see it now, you might be right. I'm happy yet puzzled, as it looks like 22961 would've worked here too.
  25. astyanax
    @Tonyst4rk80 Perhaps the issue is not with the door itself, but with the parts in the chassis that it's resting on?
