Jim

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

I am not really sure if this topic is appropriate, even though you seem to have the best intentions. I will move it to buying & selling. Edit: community

Did I say Whacky?! That should be Wacky! Indeed....Wacky! You even found one of the images I was planning on using as an example

The quality is probably okay. You can lookup the individual books on Amazon en read the reviews.

QUESTIONS We already prepared some questions which might arise. 1. Can I use third party parts? Read the rules 2. Can I make a boat or plane? Read the rules. 3. Can I use PF and electronics? Yes, you can. 4. Can my Wacky use legs instead of the wheels and tires? No, your vehicle needs wheels to drive. 5. Can my Wacky use spiked/horny/razor like wheels? Yes, your vehicle can have any type of wheels. As long as it is able to drive. 6: Can my Wacky have skis? I wanna build a snowmobile! It already has treads! So I need only two skis! Can I? Yes, it can. As long as you also have wheels or treads for driving. 7: My Wacky needs to be able to steer. What do you mean by that? Your vehicle needs to have functionality to change direction, so there needs to be a steering mechanism. 8: My Wacky needs to be able to drive. What do you mean by that? Your vehicle needs to be able to drive (roll) over a surface (road), manually (pushing) or using electronics (PF for example). 9: Can I have two/three Wackies that drive together but can be separated to confuse/crush opponent? No, it needs to be a single vehicle (see next question for exception). 10. Can my Wacky have a trailer? Yes, you can have a trailer. As long as it is attached to your Wacky and not a separate vehicle. 11. Can I make a model of a unusual real life car? Yes you can, but be careful. No realism and no brand references (no Porsche, Lamborghini, etc). 12. Can I make a model of a Cartoon characters vehicle from a Wacky Racer? Yes, you can. 13. Can I make a model of a other cartoon character vehicles, like Flintstones car, or Batman car or XYZ video game car? Yes, you can. 14. Can my Wacky use rockets, spikes, nets or other Carmageddon features? Yes, most definitely. 15. Can I have fun during this competition? Yes please!

Please be aware that Eurobricks is not a medium to promote your LEGO Ideas project. It's okay to put a link at the bottom of your topic of a MOC, but this screams LEGO Ideas promotion.

Jim is now hinting that this whacky contest will definitely start within a couple of days.

TECHNIC WACKY WHEELS CONTEST After a fierce battle bots competition it's time for a less serious competition. How about a Virtual Race through LEGO City using Wacky Wheels?! DESCRIPTION The Wacky Wheels competition is loosely based on the 1994 Arcade game by Apogee, which strongly puts the emphasis on fun instead of realism, both in looks and gameplay. Each contestant needs to have a wacky vehicle to participate in the most ludicrous race of the year. And you will be designing and building that vehicle! The first requirement for the vehicle is that it needs to have wheels or treads, since it is a road race! Your vehicle can be anything you want (also a boat, plane, etc), but it needs to have wheels, since it's a driving contest. The second requirement is that it needs to have at least one wacky function besides driving and steering. This function can be anything to gain an advantage in the race. Of course it can also be function to hinder your opponent. Anything goes! Thanks to Erik Leppen for pitching this idea DEADLINE Deadline date is Monday 16th of October, 2017. Contest will be closed on Tuesday 17th of October, OR LATER. Disclaimer: I will close the contest when I see fit and when I have the time to process the results. This can be later than the deadline date. Please don't complain about this not being fair and all. RULES AND REGULATIONS The following section describes the contest specific and general rules and regulations.

If it were me, you would all get an UCS MF

And I will let TLG ship it to my place and "I will take care of the rest" The prizes will be Technic sets, no need to worry about you getting a UCS Millennium Falcon

That's exactly the problem; the first request isn't reaching the server properly. When you refresh the request is reposted and it does reach the server. And this doesn't happen when we don't override the main skin.

Can you PM me your experience? I do see some margin/padding issues, but it's not that big of a deal. Maybe I'm missing some thing. Thanks.

We will be keeping this one, so Invision can reproduce the problem.

I'm just repeating what I have been told. I'm not sure what it means either.

I will update the index with the latest review topics etc.

Actually not that odd, since nothing has changed I hoped the update fixed the issue. Unfortunately not. We will get in touch with Invision again.

So basically it's still the same issue. Thanks for testing.

Are you sure? That is really strange. The poll results are visible, even if you are not logged in.

As expected this models looks very nice in orange and black. Thanks for showing us.

Please don't post questions irrelevant to this topic. Thanks. Other than that...Welcome to EB!

Here we go again....please test the poll. I have used a (more or less) serious question this time.

Okay. Here's an advance notice. Prepare. For the last couple of contests I have given hints in this topic, like I did the other day. It's not that there suddenly is a contest. And you have 8 weeks to build something, so there's ample time. I hope to get the contest up-and-running next weekend. Maybe a bit sooner, maybe a bit later.

I am not too happy with the brown color for the axles, but I don't really object either. I store all my 3L axles in pins (not the 3L blue of course) in the same container and using different colors, it's very easy to find them. I don't like the fact that they changed the 5L with stop from dark tan to reddish brown.

We have the Index topic where you can find most of the important topics.
