A life cycle...that's nicely phrased -
42056 - Porsche Speculation
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I will rename this topic to Speculation and close it in a bit. Generic conversation can be done in the Review Topic and there's a Mods and Improvement Topic. -

Jim replied to jantjeuh's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I was indeed thinking about Speculation. I'd like to establish a kind of pattern: General speculation Split into set speculation Publish review Close set speculation Create mods and improvement Something like that. -

Thanks Eric! I reckoned a review for The Ultimate could use little extra flavor -

42056 - Porsche Speculation
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This has been discussed several times and it's in my review. This set is as limited as a regular Technic set. -

I agree on the Porsche break. I won't be merging the review topic with the other topic, but I'm thinking about Locking the speculation topic, to keep the Review and Mod topic. -

I'm waiting for "Does anyone have any news about the 2017 sets?" This won't take long -

Maybe I will turn this into a general review topic for 2016. -

Pushing it manually won't give you too much problems, although there is a lot of friction in some gears. -

Nope, I don't. I didn't blur the code, so I hope it's not one time use or something -

Again..thanks!! I think it's time to hit the sack, although I am pretty sure the adrenaline will keep me awake for a couple of minutes...hours....who knows. Back again tomorrow for more comments. -

Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks mate I wish TLG would acknowlegde that fact and send out the review sets a week or two earlier. Thanks, thanks, thanks. I really appreciate comments like these. Makes me happy I stayed up late. -
[REVIEW] 42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for pointing it out. My mind tends to make these kind of mistake, missing words like "not" in a sentence, or using with instead of without. Can screw up your entire argument Whooooop whoooop! Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Engaging and disengaging of the gears could be causing the problem. Sometimes the gears just don't fully engage or disengage. The mechanism on the steering wheel is a rather strange one. Couldn't fully wrap my head around it. This is exactly how I feel. The gearbox...okay, I accept the fact that it's not perfect. But man, I would have loved to see rear axle/wheel steering. Modders, start your engines -

Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Permission changed Just tried, and the gearbox does seem to function properly. But it's hard to say, because you can't see the actual gears changing. So it might be the case, that the changeover catch isn't properly functioning. In other words; I am not sure that each gear is properly engaged. Any specific reason you are asking? -

Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That might very well be the case. Care to elaborate? Not entirely sure that I understand what you mean? O darn, totally forgot to make it public. Just a sec. Thanks for the heads-up. -
[REVIEW] 42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'll take that as a compliment Actually I have spoken to Aino (and some of the other reviewers) and each of us had different levels of gearbox problems. And Paul concurs with a sequential gearbox not being 100% reliable. That's why I let each of you draw your own conclusion. I have too little knowledge about suspension to judge. I can imagine it's nowhere near reality, but I chose not to focus on that. I understand other member (i.e. you) think differently I hear ya! Yeah, that's cool! -

Thanks Gio! Well, that's the thing. It might be flawed or underwhelming in some ways, but it still is a very special set. -

Anytime! I have added your video review as well. -
[REVIEW] 42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Agreed! I have been pondering about a conclusion myself, and while I think it could have been better, it's still a set I wouldn't wanna miss. -
[REVIEW] 42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks. I had to look a couple of times to make sure I wasn't the one who made a mistake. I did check it several times today, to make sure. I am pretty positive that it actually is a mistake. And I must admit, it's a quite understandable one. Turning the model upside down, you can switch gears easily. An errata will probably solve this issue. The gearbox jamming....we'll see. I am curious to find out too. Take your time Max -
We've waited a long time, but it's finally here...the 42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS Review.
