42099 - 4x4 X-treme Off-Roader
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Exactly how I feel about it. Besides that; TLG is the #1 toy company, so they probably know a thing or two about producing and selling toys While it’s a fascinating discussion, maybe it’s time to move the focus back to the actual set. -

@Robin_IV well spoken! -
Not entirely sure where this pic came from, but it's "Evan", created by Lee Magpili. http://www.legoengineering.com/meet-the-creator-lee-magpili/ http://burfdevelopment.com/lee-magpili-lead-designer-of-the-lego-mindstorms-ev3-at-the-bett-show/ https://www.facebook.com/pg/EV3Android/posts/

Indeed. I do see a lot of cool community stuff happening in the future. -

You can use rechargeable batteries. -

Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
When we got the Powered Up train sets, the app wasn't available yet. When TLG released sets with app driven building instructions, the app wasn't available yet. And we didn't get access to beta versions. You can argue that the train could be controlled with a remote and that building instructions come in a booklet. All I am saying is that I wouldn't be surprised if reviewers got the set without the app -
MOCs vs Official Sets
Jim replied to nerdsforprez's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Valid points! I have been thinking about doing MOC reviews, but I am not sure if this will work. -

That's not a valid argument. As a reviewer I have been in this kind of situation before. Usually we get sets before the apps are in the app store. -
MOCs vs Official Sets
Jim replied to nerdsforprez's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
While you might be right. The current discussion is about the quality of MOCs vs Official sets. -

Okay, I assumed there was an embargo, since the video started exactly at midnight. -
MOCs vs Official Sets
Jim replied to nerdsforprez's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Done Granted, I haven't built much MOCs, so I am not a fair judge. However, the ones I built had sub-optimal building experience. The only one I absolutely love is Nathanael's modular car, but him being a former TLG designer might be unfair competition. -

[TC16] Marsupial

Sweet! This is a concept I have been thinking about for quite some time. I want to make this with my EV3 units. So I'm following with great interest -
MOCs vs Official Sets
Jim replied to nerdsforprez's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
While @nerdsforprez has a point, I tend to lean towards Anio in this matter. MOCs seem to be way more awesome when you look at them. But when it comes to building experience and techniques, I think most officials sets are better than MOCs. Sometimes simplicity beats complexity. This. -

Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The video had an embargo (30th June at 0:00), so I reckon it's an official TLG offer. If so, the propper question would be; how did you get the exclusive (I won't be reviewing this set btw, so I don't have any information) PS I have split the other discussion into a new topic. -
