    I have the opposite - number of ideas are spinning in my head, but there's no energy and enough time to start building. In my past years I found there are some sort of life cycles where you keep going back to previous hobby or things you are also interested in. You may wan to keep your LEGO activity low for some time and spend your time on other activities. But make sure you don't sell your LEGO, as you eventually would get back and regret doing so.

    Been away for a while. This new forum colours are interesting. I'm lacking a bit of contrast as everything is using light tones. btw. Is there an option to chose some default theme that doesn't change 4 times a year? I'd love to keep the top picture changing though.

    Yes, I have 4 all came in sets (the cheapest way to obtain them). I wish I'd be building more MOCs with them.

    Are you actually looking for LEGO at Aliexpress? That place is full of knock-offs. If you are looking for a set then 9398 would be your choice - it is a good base as it contains motors and nice selection of parts.

    Not sure why you need a name and email for such survey. I'll have to pass.

    Have you considered this part? In case you wish to have driven axle the following part could be used.

    According to Rebrickable I have 84k parts out of which 22k are spare parts. Recently I got bitten by System bricks so numbers have increased quite a bit. Technic is majority still and I hope will be.

    Don't judge by single order. Bricklink generally is a good place to buy bricks you need. My overall experience is great, but it happens sometimes order doesn't go well as expected. It is laso good practise to check store terms (some people state they are shipping during specific time during a week or with a couple days of delay) and their feedback. Not sure how long it usually takes to receive a package from UK to Ireland, but, as I mentioned earlier, if you are not in rush of the items you've ordered I wouldn't worry much if order won't come within a week. If you actually needed parts pretty quick, it is a good practise to mention this in comments, while submitting an order.

    Ah, it seems to be pretty close. Anyway any order coming from EU usually takes me 5-6 working days to receive. I wouldn't worry much if it would take another week (this happens for me sometimes).

    @Excal1bur this doesn't sound like a set but more of GBC creation. Picture/scan would definitely help recognise the item you are looking for. While I would agree with Fugazi I could suggest asking a question in Technic subforum as GBC belong there, as some people don't check other subforums.

    It is hard to tell since we don't know the country you live in and the location location of BL shop you've ordered your parts.

    According this picture doors are actually ok, I believe. However I spot collisions between top of the door and roof. @legolijntje have you tried building this with real bricks? That might help spotting an issue.

    I've enjoyed the video, so mesmerising. I would love to see gear setup picture for such close ratio. Simply to understand how you achieved this.

    Creating a small moc of this size and number of functions is a challenge already. Making it scaled version of existing set is just incredible! Proportions are just on spot - you can clearly see smaller model is like a younger brother to larger one.

    Still haven't got my hands on 8466. Those priced decently are often in not very good shape or sold out quickly (not looking for sealed sets). Would love to "supercars" prior 8880 - 8865 and 853/956. Getting 8480 in good condition for acceptable price would be a jackpot!

    Use "Report post" button instead of posting about it Someone else could take a look quicker if Jim is not around at the moment.

    Great model, haven't commented yet as there was nothing I could add during WIP process. I like how clean the shape is. What is the mystery behind this #2 connector?
  19. zux
    The ones I have: ones with square short end edges - a bit flexible ones with rounded short end edges - noticeably harder

    There will always be a person who has more anyway (stating it's average in size) .

    You forgot to mention Duplo and Juniors for each year. Classic, Speed Champions and Mindstorm are still there in 2017. I see that some series ar expanding (like Disney), some series didn't get their own name (City miners). It looks like less series are getting more set per year. Ghostbusters was clearly a one-off series in 2016. Doesn't look so bad after all.

    That's a great mod! I love the original an this one is even better - remotely controlled! Do you have any pictures from below? And where did you hide the driving motor?
  23. zux
    I'm not sure if there is huge potential here will all new custom tyres as these are highly specific. Additionally these are categorised as 3rd party item so there are people who never accept them (and a MOC using them). It would have been better to produce different design wheel covers for existing LEGO wheels. It has a better potential (as with 3rd party tyres) and since it is not cheating (using custom parts where it is hard to use LEGO parts) unlike completely new wheels+tyres more people would accept it as just a visual feature/add-on.

    Have been waiting for this report for a long time. Worth the wait! That last gift from Porsche is very nice picture actually! Was the grey cabrio 911 the only car you had a chance to drive or get a ride?

    You could use Bionicle tooth instead of top 3L half beam. This will give impression of curved surface.
