    That looks AWESOME! I really love the cool simple lines, what I would want to see on a period hotrod.

    Got the parts needed and started building last month, but only last week was I able to make some photos. Here's how my Boss looks like: Nothing radical, but in my eyes it looks a LOT better now without all that red in the chassis. I also added a second pair of lights that turn on when the motor is activated and redistributed a few stickers .

    Finally got around to modifying and making some shots of my Raptor: Now I think it looks a bit more "serious", and as a bonus it blends pretty nicely with other SHIELD hardware .

    As I expected, a "solid" set. Great? Hmmm, maybe, maybe not, but definitively (very?) good. The proportions surely are off, but I think that's ok since it's a brick model. Like somebody said, not a Day 01 purchase but I will buy it for sure. And I honestly think nobody can complain about the stickers. Those who do complain should first assemble a Speed Champions set (specially the 458 Italia).

    Darn, just saw it. Looked like I stepped from the early 80's directly to 2005! Talk about evolution!.

    This was my first, in the early 80's: After that there was some Space sets, but I really don't remember which one. What got me out of those Times Without Light was this:

    Gruesome.

    Fantastic! I'm not into buses but that looks great! And clever way to mechanize the doors.
  9. Werlu Ulcur
    Beautiful! You definitively should put it n Lego Ideas!
  10. Werlu Ulcur
    The set is not out yet.

    Whoa, it's coming out great! Really impressive, congrats! The thing is so huge you can use it as a photo studio .

    Thanks for the info! Since I never built one I wasn't sure how the control valves work, but they look to be pretty smooth. My thoughts exactly! I just didn't commit seppuku right away because my 8yo was in the room.

    Well, looks like the Blue Crane just got bumped out from my To-Buy list by the Fire Plain! that looks pretty sweet! Thanks Sariel for the video! Soooo, when are you going to show us the B-Model ?

    This! Unless you're some sort of savant, if you never MOCed before, you have to learn how one kind of piece can relate to other types, so building factory sets following the official instructions is the best way for you to learn the basics. After you amassed a decent amount of basic knowledge (ie, how you can connect one part to another) you'll naturally start thinking about new ways to do the same kind of build or how to implement your idea in brick form..

    I don't have any set with pneumatics, so I'm not familiar with how they work. Looking at Sariel's video, I had the impression that the controlling mechanism is not a valve but a small axle that compresses one hose or the other. is that so, there's no two-way valve? And when he releases the boom it falls. Is that the only way to operate it or is there a way to bleed out the air more slowly?

    Well, form Jim's review I already was positive, but now I'm certain this merc will burn a (big) hole in my wallet. It's better then I expected! But about the blue crane, was anyone else disappointed? In fact, I was more excited about it then the truck (I have a soft soft for big machinery) but it runs kind of jerky. And to rotate the boom you have to press a switch on the platform that is rotating?
  17. Werlu Ulcur
    Friggentastic! I honestly was on the fence about this one, but it looks like it's going to make (another) hole in my wallet. When will it be available in stores?
  18. Werlu Ulcur
    If you can, get it! I'm suspect to say so, but I think it's the best UCS ever (ok, one of the two best UCS ever, if you also think the Falcon is one of the two coolest ships in SW ). Darn, they're switched ! Can't believe I only noticed it after you pointed it out. When I moved to my new house last year I had to partially disassemble many models for the move and in the frenzy of putting everything back on display again I must have switched the wings. The worse part is that when I was making those shots I had the feeling that something was different but never did I noticed that I assembled them reversed. Thanks for the heads up!

    Sorry, only saw your most excellent review today. But it looks like we arrived at the same conclusion: the 75060 is definitively the best version ever released, but the 8097 is a great version. I'm a huge Boba Fett fan, so I would never consider getting rid of the 8097. I see it as kind of a different version of the ship, but so good that even fater the mighty UCS sei I still think of it as one of my all-time favorite Lego sets.

    The thing looks gorgeous, has RC functions AND is in minifig scale! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
  21. Werlu Ulcur
    Really nice! I'm also really disappointed with current Lego space themes - they're too childish. It would be nice to have something more serious like this.
  22. Werlu Ulcur
    The guy's certain that these minifigs were stolen at the factory and still buys them AND puts a video up on YT saying so . Unbelievable.
  23. Werlu Ulcur
    If i could choose, ALL sets would be flesh-colored. There isn't much a reason to have yellow faces anymore.
  24. Werlu Ulcur
    Geez, you guys are worse then my 4yo when it comes to patience. And that's coming from a man who's wife says he's mentally a 12yo.

    Welcome to my boat . I have so few Technic sets that I'm basically out of photographing material. Well, I can of course use the same model in different shots but I would rather shoot different models.
