Really Cool model you got there.

Oh My!

Cool! Nice job.

Lego doesn't want a "Human" minifig to battle against another "Human" minfig. Monsters and creatures are ok as long as they are not "Human" vs "Human" I guess this is why the Police minifigs chase around robbers with handcuffs. Street Fighter was probably one of the most mild fighting games ever made. I know it's still a fighting game, but it being so cartoonish and over the top with out of this world moves made it more comical than violent.

If Street Fighter was a Billion Dollar movie franchise, I am sure Lego's decision may have been different. It seems the more money a theme is surrounded by coming into Lego, the more rules are overlooked. Too bad Street Fighter was a Jean ClaudeVan Dam Flop.

I still don't quite understand your theory of "It's just a car" I mean Lego supposedly has a new motorcycle coming out for 2013 and they have released 2 other ones in the last 4 years and they are basically the same idea. Same with heavy machinery, Lego is constantly improving and updating the same things. Sure, maybe Lego won't produce Paul's car the way he intended it, but there most certainly are ideas that could be implemented. It's one thing to not bother helping to support something, but it is altogether different to go out of your way and use a fellow builder's excellent model as an example of what is a bad idea and not worth supporting.

I got my Crawler yesterday! Woo Hoo! Can't wait to start building tonight!

So then what you are saying that the websites like Technicbricks and Brickset that are promoting this model because they feel it is worthy of attention and support are wasting their time because it is just a car? I also hate to differ with you, but I have built the model and it does in fact have many novel unique ideas that I at least have never seen done before in an official Lego set. Yes, it is just a car but it also brings quite a few new ideas into the mix. This is also one of the very few projects at Cuusoo that could probably be a reality with little alteration. Not saying that you are not correct with the outcome if it ever reaches 10,000 supports, but telling people it's not worth voting for based on your opinion is just downright ignorant.

This is quite a project! Looking forward to it's progress!

I can't explain how hard that I am laughing right now. I watched your interview at your site a few weeks ago. You did a great job by the way for it being live and unedited.

I missed the information too.

Paul, I actually had one of my son's friend's father say that to me when he came over to pick his boy up at our home and I was showing him our Technic collection. He shook his head and muttered "Too much time on your hands" I have a full time job and many weeks work on weekends and I enjoy building and spending time with my boys and this is what we enjoy doing.

I got my Crawler ordered. Can't wait.

I just love the helicopter.

That is a heck of a promotional offer, a $5 ninjago minifig that cancels out the 20% off.

Wow!

Very Nice!

You must be the exception, because I too have seen many pictures and video footage of broken parts in Trial Trucks.

My only real gripe with Cuusoo is the guys that have amazing models where they have spent months and months developing with no licensed attached and have been working their butts off to gain every support they get and are struggling badly, meanwhile other people bring a new computer generated theme in and fly through the votes based on the large fan base of the project. I just recently read in the comments section of one of these projects that by the time they hit their mark, the "wow" factor will have worn off because it is a stale old model and they'll probably have something even better built by then. I can kind of see this guy's point.

I agree, I can't believe that people are complaining about this. Obviously everyone thinks that they can build a better model. This is pretty darn impressive for having such a low part count.

Yes, but are they built as practical as the 9398?

Woah, where did this Portal project come from? 2,000+ supports in just a few days? This project was also rejected and then given a second chance. Hmm. What is that all about?

Nice model!

I see Blakbird has a picture review up at Brickshelf. I guess one made it here in the states.

It's a good read with some key points that would especially be useful to new builders just getting into Technic.
