  1. I can appreciate a well designed thought out model that simulates features that work well just as much as someone who builds in a larger scale with many more parts that shoots for realism as closely as they can get it. I mean lets face it, there are more things in a vehicle that are not replicated properly other than suspensions. Like for instance a Crankshaft in a V8 engine. 4 pistons don't fire at a time.
  2. I think much of this depends on the scale of the build. Obviously the larger the scale(like you build) the easier it is to replicate the real thing.
  3. I've read stories about people going into Lego stores and buying everyone that they had on the shelves and then going to the next nearest Lego store and buying all of theirs and coming home with a dozen. By the time the casual fans realized about this set, they were sold out.
  4. I can't really fault the resellers. I would blame Lego for their policies. IMO this should have been a one per household, one per store limit item.
  5. I wonder if he is saying that the 16 tooth clutch gears are disengaging?
  6. Yes, she only lets the sheep hear wants she wants them to.
  7. They would have to combine both ideas and split between both people. Afterall, Lego is going to change either project anyways.
  8. What size wheels are those? Are they the ones from the 8081 extreme cruiser? Or are they from another set?
  9. A few months ago When Paul hinted that he was doing a monster themed vehicle, I wasn't sure what to expect. This is more impressive that I had imagined. The body itself could be it's own car model. Lot's of functions packed into a small space. Very nicely done. The removable body is a clever idea, and I love the tail fins. Why he didn't submit a project for the 9398 contest last year is beyond me. Could have at least got a free 41999 set out of it.
  10. Wow is this girl ever high on herself. She thinks just because she has so many fans and her projects were featured on so many other video blogs who also have many subscribers that there is no way that another project could get so many votes legitimately. First off it is about 20x better and as Paul said maybe it is because she promoted the other project so well in her videos. What a loon.
  11. Really? So is it Technic elements or system or both?
  12. What is really funny is the 100's and 100's of fans of hers who are claiming that they are never buying another Lego set again. Yeah, Ok.
  13. Great to hear about blue being used for so many sets! Technic version of this perhaps?
  14. One of the comments on her new youtube video from some know it all said that she was taken down by the Lego Group because she was getting too big, and that's what big corps do. They take down people that get too big.
  15. I did a simple search to find out a bit more about her and this is the stuff that came up. I haven't posted anywhere else about this issue other than a few posts at Youtube which were deleted. I just don't think that it is fair to the people who are trying to legitimately accomplish something at Cuusoo that there are people out there manipulating the system. And where is my video enraging people? I am just stating simple facts that I had discovered and thought were quite relevant. I didn't create a bold faced thread about this for everyone to see, I just added to an already existing one. This has nothing to do with female builders or female fans of Lego, this is about certain females using their gender to gain an advantage all while also using it as a crutch.
  16. This is what she's using to drive eyeballs though. And then she's turning around and using that same advantage for pity and to make people excuse the fact that she didn't follow the guidelines at Cuusoo.
  17. That is just it, getting it produced. I don't think anything she did had a chance, especially the already license Batman projects. Didn't Cussoo say on many occasions that already licensed projects were basically dead in the water and they would not produce sets or ideas of themes that were already in existence? All of the preteens are raving over how much better Brickqueen's J.P. projects were and how great her Batman projects were, but I have to be honest, looking over them, I fail to see the hype behind any of them. They are borderline average.
  18. I would say this is a pretty good theory on what happened. I have been reading into this Brickqueen person and they seem like a very unlikable person who consistently creates drama in whatever they do. She got caught and should deal with it like an adult, not like a child. She actually posted several times in her pathetic "I am the Victim" video that she contacted Lego Customer Support about her Cuusoo account being banned. You guys get that? Lego Customer Support. I don't think Lego Cuusoo will ever release an actual statement of why she was banned to avoid any further embarrassment for her. Their silence is actually telling the story. And has anyone seen that she actually did reviews wearing some sort of Princess Leia slave outfit? What in the heck was that all about? No wonder she has 50,000 12 year old subscribers. And if I ever catch either one of my sons making sympathy videos in ressponse for someone's pathetic crying video on youtube, there is going to be heck to pay. Heck I tell ya!
  19. The bad thing is that it is causing more problems for the people who are trying to run Cuusoo.
  20. I honestly cannot believe what people are saying on her youtube channel with the death threats and such. I tried to make a post of reason to these people and BrickQueen has blocked my account. I suppose that all posters who do not want to join her army or post anything that contradicts what she says get blocked. Oh well. Some regular girl and her army of lovestruck little boys isn't anything to lose sleep over.
  21. What appears to me is that BrickQueen was caught with bogus cuusoo accounts(which she already said she was accused of), got banned for it and then made a video blaming other people for abusing her at cuusoo to try and save face by playing the role of the victim. Apparently her people were the ones who started all of this by bashing on other new Jurassic Park projects some time yesterday. All her video is doing is sending dozens of her toadies to cuusoo bashing, flagging, and reporting the wrong people and causing more problems for the people who run cuusoo. If she were smart, she should just delete her video and keep quiet about the whole thing. Why would cuusoo ban an apparently popular Lego person like BrickQueen who had a project nearing 5,000 supports for absolutely no reason? I think she knows the real reason behind all of this.
  22. I have never heard of this BrickQueen person until I had seen a video of her complaining about the Back to the Future set not being available for her. From what I've read she is claiming that she was banned because her account was reported by another similar I.P.'s creator and his fans. Not sure how a brand new user could get someone banned so easily. Her tweets says that she was accused by Cuusoo for having bogus accounts and then banned. I found this crocodile tear video a bit pathetic as are the childish comments below it seeking vengeance. I think she should reinvent herself as "DramaQueen" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h9HIsFsIEA
  23. Paul, would you happen to have any spare long white flex axles or #4 connectors I could buy from you?
