  1. Just bought a 8275, 9398 and 42030 for just 285€ all together. Good condition, complete and just a bit of dust.
  2. I found a used 9398 for 70€ plus shipping. Was a bit dusty but otherwise in good condition.
  3. OK - looks kind of cool. But otherwise - we get just another (overpriced imho) sports car with apart of the more complex gear box has no interesting funtionalities. I'm kind of appalled by the marketing speak: "Powered by passion! No batteries are required for this LEGO Technic set, so you can get stuck into your immersive building project right away." which basically translates into: "No, you don't get any motors, lights or whatsoever. This would cost a bazillion." Suddendly, the 42100 Liebherr appears like a bargain. But, heads up - we get tons of parts in lime green. I see great Claas Mocs around the corner.
  4. Works great imho. The folding mechanism is ingenious. Can it lift a few grams, e.g. a small battery box?
  5. It kind of depends on the macOS you are using. If you upgraded to macOS Catalina (10.15) you can‘t use the Mac app anymore. Since the app is written in 32bit code you have no chance of running it on Catalina Macs.
  6. Here is a short introduction video: https://youtu.be/4fShCr2WGDU
  7. Is this supposed to be for same kind of lathe? The kind thar locks pipes or ring shap material from the inside.
  8. @Ivan_M Thanks a lot for those images. They'll help me a lot. I'm trying to built a slim custom actuator for the GMK6400.
  9. This is one cool crane. This custom linear actuator is quite interesting. I wonder if you could provide some more detailed images? Especially the mounting on the upper carriage interests me a lot.
  10. I think the project is still alive: https://www.fxbricks.com
  11. I'd like to propose a "Universal Set" contest. "Universal Sets" were great in the 80s. They got my started into Technic. Brickset got a list here: https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Technic/subtheme-Universal The task could be: Design a Universal Set with a given number of parts. At least 3 models have to be designed using those parts. The models should using different building techniques and display different mechanical principals.
  12. That's a really nice truck. Looks like a lot of fun to play with. One captions states a speed of 19km/h at 9.2V. Doesn't the Buwizz allow up to 11V? Did you take the truck for a run in thar ludicrous mode?
  13. It will be hard for 3rd parties to develop adapters to connect PF stuff. The PU connectors are patented. If TLG refused to licence them, we getting the same scenario as with Apple and its depreciated MagSafe power plug.
  14. What puzzles me the most is this passage: Why would they sacrifice one of the Ten Commandments (literally spoken) that is THE main pillar of their success.
  15. I just found this (kudos to zusammengebaut.de for posting this). I thought those informations would be welcome here as well. Powered UP AFOL Community Answers https://lan.lego.com/news/overview/powered-up-afol-community-answers-r146/ I haven’t made up my mind yet but I have to admit I have some mixed feelings about Powered UP.

  17. Cool. I‘ve seen those in sawmills and wood trading warehouses. They look somewhat strange bugbane quit interesting. Great MOC.
  18. Hopefully. Usually, the price for B&P is somehow directly related to their weight. The Claas tires cost 5.12€. The Tumbler tires were about 7,50€. A small Mini Sai piece is 0.12€. Maybe the driving ring extension is made out of some kind of unobtainum. ;-)
  19. I just spoke to the TLG customer service regarding a parts order. The new driving ring extensions (yellow, 6211768) cost a stunning 5.20€ per piece. The gear shifter (orange, 6227330) clocks in with 2.58€.
  20. I found a 8420 street motor cycle for 32€ including shipping. No box, no instructions but in good condition. I couldn‘t resist. The wheels/tires alone are more expensive than the set. Not to mention the spring/shock absorber. Now I can build Nico71‘s Morgan threewheeler.
  21. Hello! ich just found this on kickstarter.com and wanted to share this while I‘m waiting for my coffee https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1581732981/smallest-wifi-rc-brick-with-rechargeable-battery-f?ref=discovery&term=Lego It looks just like a BuWizz but for WiFi. Has anyone been aware of this project? Disclaimer: i‘m not associate with those guys in any way.
  22. I really like the trailer. What are your plans regarding a tractor/truck? Looking forward to see all the parts coming together.
  23. I just a complete Spick3r Robot (one of the Mindstorms EV3 Models) for 82,50€. The lot included the intelligent bricks, 2 large motors, 1 medium motor, IR sensor and the remote. Everything appears to be working properly.
