  1. So, what are the odds of a new UCS Millennium Falcon, or even an updated release of 10179. I thought I had read rumors about it, but all I read is plans for a regular MF, since 7965 is quite old already...
  2. €220 in Germany, €243 in France, €250 in The Netherlands and about €210 in the UK. According to lego.com That is just ridiculous
  3. the boat parts, like the ones used for the Sea Cow are okay I guess... But I agree, these big parts are awful. Looks like Playmobil...
  4. I wonder what the kid looks like now. And did anybody EVER win from filling out this questionnaire?
  5. Now, I have always wondered at what point it is more interesting to build a set with your own parts and ordering missing parts from TLG or Bricklink. The situation now occurs with 42030 Volvo Frontloader. I have about 90% of the parts and have little space and too much parts. I have all the PF-elements, but of course not the big bucket, the green engine parts and the yellow wheels. Now, these are the most expensive parts I need to order (assuming I can actually order the bucket, which may be licensed and therefor not sold separately by TLG). All other parts are rather small and insignificant. But then again: ordering missing parts is relatively espensive with shipping costs and price per part. Buying a whole set may give your more parts you already have, but is relatively cheap (assuming you can afford the whole set). So what is, to you from experience, the turning point? When is it better to buy just missing parts and when do you buy the whole set even though you have 90% of the parts? And of course nothing beats brand new Lego and a brand new box :)
  6. Does it use the 'old' wormgears? Can you post pics of the inventory please?
  7. Own them all: Café Corner I bought from the French Amazon just before prices got sky high. Then I bought all the other Modulars. 10190 Market Street is the only one I bought used... Funny thing is: I never considered MS to be an official one, because I didn't have it :) Now that I own it I consider it an official one. My exhibits: - It is pictures with the other ones in the instruction booklets and boxes - it is features in the Mini Modulars.
  8. How easy is it to feel the minifigs heads? Wiggum. Millhouse and Grampa all have a 2x2 tile as accessory...
  9. great! however, the title should be: 'Octanship! Octanship! OCTANSHIP!' :P
  10. It was a different 40t gear. I saw the movie twice and paid extra attention the second time. It WAS a 40t gear because Wyldstyle mentions it when building her motorcycle. It looks like it doesn't have any axle holes anymore just round holes.
  11. Some of my pix. Not of the best quality because I took them with my iPad. Never mind the mess in my small house. The soda can shows the size of the vessel.
  12. I just finished building this monster. It is absolutely amazing and GIGANTIC!
  13. Can someone who owns the model give me the long number on the back of the instruction book?
  14. So were the Simpsons parts, especially the heads, produced in China? I thought the quality of the heads was very good!
  15. I used an iPad4 with retina screen.
  16. does anyone know what the thing is on the top shelf of Bart's bedroom cupboard? It consists of a headlight brick, a round plate, a 1x2 plate and a 1x2 tile. What is it supposed to be?
  17. Those trucks are 8258 with a yellow tipper. Nice!
  18. Strangely enough the instructions of the new Technic Cargo Plane 42025 are extremely sharp...
  19. To save space on my small table I decided to build Technic set 42009 from my iPad. The quality of the online instructions is very poor. I know this has been brought up many times, but this time I could hardly keep several black parts (black beams and pins) apart. Could the embassadors please discuss this with TLG? It will get even worse when old sets are no longer available for purchase. If an instruction booktlet gets missing it will become very difficult to build from digital instructions...
  20. Brickset says about 8483: Same as 8482 but packaged in an aluminum look-alike case
  21. probably a lot of the pieces will be treads. It will be yellow also...
  22. Set 42028 will be a Bulldozer, according to the Hungarian Site: http://www.ilsejatekbolt.hu/index.php?oldal=katalogus&n=42028 615 pieces
  23. Maybe the bucket is brick built like the 8275 Bulldozer.
