Jim replied to Jeroen Ottens's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is gonna be awesome! -
42099 - 4x4 X-treme Off-Roader
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yup, it is. And I stand corrected. Dark Yellow is what they called it, if I am not mistaken. Bright Light Orange is the Bricklink color name? -
42100 Liebherr R9800 Excavator
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That would be awesome! -
Lego 8043 visual improvements
Jim replied to Raymember's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Very nice mods! Actually, I started building the 8043 again. Also with black treads and a totally black undercarriage. I will download your lxf for inspiration. Thanks The black boom, with the hoses, looks awesome btw. Great work. -
42100 Liebherr R9800 Excavator
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I absolutely love what they did with the app. It’s so much more than I anticipated. For me, Control+ is already a big winner. SBrick and BuWizz are great products, but I prefer a genuine LEGO solution. Can’t wait to get my hands on this big boy. -
42099 - 4x4 X-treme Off-Roader
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Ahhh my bad, I see what you mean. Yeah, that does seem strange. -
42099 - 4x4 X-treme Off-Roader
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I don't see any reason, unless TLG had no choice. Seems like wishful thinking Edit: Point taken -
42099 - 4x4 X-treme Off-Roader
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Exactly what I was thinking. -
42099 - 4x4 X-treme Off-Roader
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I also think there's no need to be concerned about it. I assume there will be some sort of physical remote coming in the future. Produced by TLG, or third party. Maybe this has been discussed; I haven't been reading up on the all the PU components, but will the train remote be able to control the Control+ unit? -
Cool! Glad you your kid is enjoying the set!

[MOC] Skoda 110R
Jim replied to PsychoWard666's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great model! I have frontpaged it. Btw, I did remove your Patreon and Instagram link. You can self-promote in your signature, but please refrain from doing that in the regular post. Thanks. -
@Four Bricks Tall No thanks! I hope the contest will be a success.

Motorized Excavator 8043 Build
Jim replied to Brick_King's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Still one of my favorites! I've been thinking about making an updated version with the cabin from the 42094. Possibly combining it with Jurgen's Ultimate version. In case you are not aware of Jurgens Ultimate version. Check out this link. Welcome to Eurobricks btw! -
Technic 2019 Set Discussion
Jim replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yup. Doesn't make sense to use a different orange. Since we have dedicated topics for the four new sets, let's continue discussion there. I will lock this topic for a bit, so we can get used to using the newly created topics by @Ngoc Nguyen 42097 - Spider Crane 42098 - Car Transporter 42099 - 4x4 Off Road 42100 - Liebherr R9800 -
Technic 2019 Set Discussion
Jim replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Seems logical these are final pictures. Doesn’t make sense to reprint brochures. The 4x4 looks awesome btw! Way better than the prelim pic. I do see a red spring, right? -
Technic 2019 Set Discussion
Jim replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I warned about this just a few posts ago. Just send him a PM instead of asking here. Next one can take a break! -
42098 - Car Transporter
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That could very well be the case. -
Technic General Discussion
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I don't think you can patent vehicle designs. GTA has been using vehicle designs for years, and simply giving the cars a made up name. And I reckon TLG knows how to play by the rules. -
42098 - Car Transporter
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It's strange. It does show a steering wheel, but it also shows four arrows pointing in different directions. This doesn't coincide with a steering function. But you still could be right though. -
42098 - Car Transporter
Jim replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Is this really necessary? Please tone it down a bit.
