As far as I know Blue is the new Yellow (or Red) Guess you need to wait a bit for more Green. -
GBC General Discussion
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes they are standard lego. However, they are pretty expensive. There are some third party alternatives to be used or balls from the Friends product. Balls like these: http://www.bricklink...nv.asp?S=4470-1 Mostly from the sports series, if I am not mistaken (no expert myself either). Here's some generic information: http://www.greatballcontraption.com/- 1,124 replies

GBC General Discussion
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I was thinking about collecting all the posted Contraptions and maintaining/updating the index with these posts. Or would it be better to have a single topic (general discussion) with an Index in the first post? (I have locked the index topic and done the latter) I would like to do that, maybe with some help from GBC enthusiasts.- 1,124 replies

True!! There a loads of Technic or Technic-ish parts in Bionicle as well. Some of the are quite useful or can be used for decoration. Sometimes I am as surprised as you are about these kind of parts/colors. -

Technic General Discussion
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Just remember that a forum is not about making lots of topics. It's about useful discussions and conversations (mostly). Keep that in mind and you'll do fine So, when are going to test or prove whether the reversed statement works as well? It's your theory after all -
Technic General Discussion
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Moved your question to this general discussion topic. No need for a separate topic. So we should be able to build a very cool F1 car as a B-model for the 42009 -
