So, I stumbled upon this shop recently. I purchased the Maersk Container Train (10219) two days ago, and everything went smoothly. The platform's support team is friendly, and I received a tracking number from the shop. The package is on its way with DHL. I'll keep you posted on whether it arrives in the described condition. They have some interesting sets there, and even more to come in the future, according to the shop. bigbrick.bigcartel.com I also saw this one: https://crazybricks.bigcartel.com/

So I had a Bricklink account a long time ago. 2010-2012, Is is deactivated. No I am signing up again at Bricklink but in order to sell a set you must first have xxx items bought. Then I needed to verify and even send a picture of my whole collection! That is Bricklink now. Try it out. Any other places to sell this? Not for everyone but I know there are collectors out there dying for this set and I want to make someone happoy and have some cash https://ibb.co/0DQjwYk https://ibb.co/0s5fNwy https://ibb.co/MPC0qxz https://ibb.co/GTLwknJ https://ibb.co/JFhK4F5

Reading 1984 now. I have seen the movie. A decent adaption. Very depressive. There is no single moment where you can laugh during the movie. But the book is better. It is impossible to cover this book in a less then 2 hours movie. Do you have any suggestions for good movies about the DDR?

Bratwurst There are no speed limits on most highways. (Autobahn) Germans are generally reserved, but once you make friends, you're easily accepted. They are punctual. And when they've had some beer, German sounds quite harsh :)

When I was 11, Christmas morning was extra special. My uncle, known for his great taste in gifts, handed me a package with a wink. "You'll want to open this one," he said. I tore off the wrapping paper and found my very first LEGO set: the Fire Brigade! I spent the rest of the day immersed in building it, transforming our living room into a mini fire station. That day, I discovered the magic of LEGO.

Brickshelf is shutting down. Let's try to save it.

You can still find Brickshelf via The Wayback Machine. .https://web.archive.org/web/20230927204729/https://brickshelf.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20230314164444/https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/customview.cgi?include=Train The site does work, more or less. Many images are gone. -
Without a doubt, Modular Buildings. My very first set was Fire Brigade. Just 5 more sets and I'll have all the Modular Buildings in my collection.

[MOC] EV3 Mars Rover
vijv replied to vijv's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks :) Those solar panels are only aesthetic and do not contribute to the power consumption, just make the bot look more like something that could survive in space.- 2 replies

Hi, After lurking for several years and after arising of this new Mindstorms forum it's time to start sharing some of my own MOC's. I present the Boogie Burnout: This bot is based on the Rocker-Bogie suspension mechanism, which is also used for the Curiosity and Opportunity Mars rovers. The Bogie-Burnout is my own interpretation of the system and not a copy of existing robots. My main goal was to experiment a little and see if the Rocker-Bogie system would work in the scale of my other MOC's All 6 wheels are able to pivot up and down and turn in every direction. The main problem I faced building a rover this scale was the flexibility of the Rocker arms in conjunction with the middle base part of the robot. Adding flexible links between the left and right wheels solved most of the flex, but turning the wheels 90 degrees still caused the robot to look like a drunken sailor. Adding removable stabilizers solved most of the wonky movements. When not driven 90 degrees side wards these links can be released on one side to give back all flexibility to the rocker system when driving over obstacles. As it turned out, a Lego Technic structure this big has enough flexibility to drive over obstacles without having to unlink the stabilizer bars. The wheels are driven by 4 medium Power Functions , which are geared down in a ratio of 11.7 in two steps. To prevent the current regulator kick in, each medium motor has his own IR receiver, which makes 24 receivers in total. The Power Functions remote is driven by two Mindstorms motors, one for speed control and one pressing the stop button. Controlling two channels simultaneously and thus reducing the amount of IR receivers resulted in lag and speed difference between motors. For each two motors and receivers there is one battery box, this again to prevent the current limiter kicking in. The outside plating of the rover can be removed easily within seconds. Bonus: The Bogie Burnout is high enough to drive on top of one of my older MOC's, which opens some possibility's on events :) Video: Note for the purists: This is not a 100% pure MOC. Some 0.5mm Teflon rings are used to prevent slack in the mechanism and the Mindstorms cables are custom made to length. Some tape is added to the wheels to prevent them from scratching.
