That's why it's not a god idea Edit : Lol, and for us mere mortals it's not a good idea either

Well, we're all just keyboard warriors. Sum that lot up and we might a single decent designer

Those are rookie numbers, we will ALL complain about the price, buy it anyway, mod it properly and move on to the next wave .. Maybe EB should apply to that job at TLG?

Is that you? https://brickset.com/article/58930/could-you-become-a-lego-technic-designer

Nope. The vast amount of pins we get these days have never been cheaper!

Yeah? However, four outta five EB members will buy this anyway ..

I predict nine out of seven EB Technic users will be very dissapointed with this set

Reddit is a social network

Then post the darn pics, instead of trolling around on youtube. There have been tons of leaked pics on various social media in the last decade or two with little to no consequences for the leakers ...

Padme giving birth

If he has the pics, so do others. Have they leaked? Nope ..

Nah, skidsteering ftw

No, those models are not in the instructions, probably why the op is asking

Yes, but those motors are weak sauce. Any other other examples with modern motors?

Hard coupling to XLs can destroy axles, gears AND fingers if done wrong. Imagine the headlines if a kid got his fingers/ears/tongue/willy (yes, kids are that stupid!) mashed in a LEGO set

Sure. I LOVE the IDEA Books (6000, 200 & 250) and theme mashups was always a part of those

Those are not personalised to me. I had loads of red spacemen, they all looked the same. Same with the early castle figs etc. I made them unique, I gave them names, stories, jobs and position in my LEGO world hierarchy I also determined the sex. When I took of the helmets, I put on a hair piece, Some was female, some was male (nothing in between 'cause i did absolutely not have a clue there could be anything in between) And if they were happy, angry, sad, sleeping, I was the one who decided Now, every fig seems to be unique, a face frozen in one expression, has a name, backstory, a cartoon and everything on a platter. No need to make up your own stories and develop Back then a fig from '79 was not out of place with a fig from '88 (the years I was into LEGO), now a theme is launched with great fanfare and forgotten the next year ...

Off topic : It's about controlling the brand. TLG is not going to make any serious money of BL compared to the headache they've bought

Only redeeming feature is that oh so rare window, the cool cool Futuron panel (only time we see the logo) and the trans-blue wedge plates Edit : I got that wrong, thought this was the only set with the ridgeless window in trans-blue

Sure about that? 60031 is listed as a re-release (in 2013) of the 7641 from 2009 on Brickset

Yeah, that's the part I mentioned

No need for modern parts when we have the proper old ones I also very muchlike the Grey-tron colour scheme Cheers, Ole

I think sets like that are fairly popular, didn't the one with the yellow bus get re-released some years ago?

Perfect! Absolutely no need to caption that picture, easily recognisable

With Bricklink nothing really is discontinued MFG, Ole
