  1. Well there a lot of valid points I'd agree. While I understand that feeling when you see someone getting some serious money for stuff you created I don't understand why those who doesn't sell their own MOCs are unhappy with it? Did you offer same service? Probably not. It takes time and money to get all the pieces, sort them and assemble the moc itself. But as you may know people are lazy and those who have $$$ would end overpaying for the model without spending too much time sourcing all the parts. And if they bought it they are probably happy about it. I agree that lack of credit is serious issue here. Same as above, some would pay for ready to apply sticker, rather than going the whole round of finding where to print, printing the sticker and finally overpaying for the whole process. Consider printing same stickers in large amount per sheet and sell for little buck. Also, what is the difference between between reselling a model designed by TLG and AFOL? 41999 set's RRP was 179.99EUR and it is being sold for 350-400 now. I', sure RM8 would be happy to be the initial distributor Other retired models are being sold quite over their RRP too. Reselling of MOC instructions is a hard question. If you offer digital instructions only - you must keep in mind you have no control here. And if i bought one I feel I can give it away with moc I've assembled and then decided to sell. On the other hand, reselling more than once is of course not acceptable. So basically I see following unpleasant moments of other selling your stuff when: Your non-free instructions (only) are sold, resold not by someone else Lack of credit when selling other MOC Selling MOC, for which instructions are not free, more than once
  2. Isn't there a requirement in EU now, where packaging should have a certain number to help distinguishing between manufacturing batches. PS. mine is 21M4
  3. I would suggest posting same question on BL forums. I saw there quite a few members interested in old stuff, variations and other crazy stuff.
  4. When did price change happened? Was it just after BnP got back live in January? Another positive moment - you can proceed with paying your order online, calling customer service is no longer needed. Which is very convenient when you don't have CS # in your country.
  5. These look way more sturdier than recent mocs (this was a huge downside for me when I got my first studless Technic), I imagine these shouldn't bend or twist too much.
  6. You may see here and here on Brickset that same part is numbered differently by TLG. And in this topic there are some thoughts of the reason behind it.
  7. Looks like in March
  8. Wow, what a MOC, I would definitely love to build it and explore it for hours, if I would be able to collect such amount of balls.. What?! No chance of photo instructions this time?
  9. Black T bars are from 2014 42039 has a lot of pieces in light green. Except that, there are few useful pieces: 10197 in Black 56908 in Lime 30602 in Trans-Clear and Trans-Red 15458 in Orange
  10. Cool, looks like there is lockable fifth wheel on B model and some interesting fron suspension setup.
  11. 42008 probably? Trans-orange cheese slope looks to belong here.
  12. Great news! I just spotted that while on a page of certain tool and select a new tool from left side menu it opens new tab instead of same page. Quite inconvenient, spam-like experience.
  13. This part is no longer in production (BL says since 2007). It will probably be 60208, which was released in white in 12 sets.
  14. 42039 has lower profile tires and they are more common.
  15. Tires from 42000 are not re-used for two years as well.
  16. 4000 please, my OCD won't accept 4040 Btw, 4040 relates to "Page Not Found Error" ;)
  17. I can say even more, TLG, at least CEE part of it, is already aware of your site. Check the post and link to Excel file on Brickset. And then there is this site with same data (or even more).
  18. I've ordered some already. If it is not grayed out then it is probably available, keeping in mind this is a new part.
  19. That sounds just not right. Smaller boxes, which should be harder to managed due to "sticking out polybags, have changed and have much less air now. Large boxes have too much air and I still believe this is made to impress visually, rather than some technological obstacles. While I believe some manual labor has been involved, box of 41999 showed it is possible to manage inside space effectively.
  20. I've checked the image on the box, which has different lighting and indeed it might be LBG... false alarm
  21. Why not to use servo+train controller for smooth pneumatic control.
  22. Well, that's quite a nice plane. I see this part appears in white now.
  23. Looks nice and smooth. Any chance of bottom picture? 50 shades of dark blue
  24. And there is insane Formula Off Road
