All in all I'm quite disappointed with the models of 1h2010 (in comparison with the 1h2009) so far. In my humble opion the models get my points from "shamefull" to "just aceptable" No visible new parts and boring colours and models. It's a good thing that there is a return of the pneumatics but by the way it is presented to us is not that good! (For me as an AFOL that is.) Let's hope that the 2nd batch will be as good as this years!

Don't think that the logbed will have any tilting possibilty's. But the model looks fine to me. This is the first 1h2010model i really like! We got to start saving on brown round 2x2 bricks. Don't think that only one log will add to the playability of the model!!

And to get back on topic..... I'm ordering my copy tomorrow. for only

Never had any problems at all with lego products. Just until my last set. I missed to pieces. I made a complaint, got an answer in 1 day and the parts in 3... (Later i did find the two missing (trans-clear ) pieces in the sealbags when i was emptying my desk-rubbishbin......) Even now, with my "thing" concerning the breaking/melting/disforming of some parts communication whit Lego is great. fast and (for now) completly satisfying!

@ Blakbird: Die Deutsche sprache ist nicht so schwer...... And Dutch even more. (Being Dutch German is almost like a second language for me....) But back to your question. After my complaint of having those broken gears i got an email adres to sent the results of my replaced parts testing. And then it kind of went it's own way. Me being very persistent and so on. We still have to wait and see what kind of result comes from all of this.

Eric is totally right. And with the gears in the correct position and the bushels added, both problems are corrected! Maybe there is a qualityproblem in the axles and gears? (That is thickness and diferent kind of plastics-quality...?) Lets just see what TLC will answer after their meeting...... Anyway Eric: You probalbly can't read dutch (which i thought you might with your Dutch family name) but you made the right assumptions!

Had this week quite an intensive contact with LEGO considering various problems with the 8258. (The breaking of the 12t bevelgear in particular) I made a document (inEnglish and Dutch) in which i explained the problems and added my solution. The were very pleased indeed! I will be discussed by the North American AND European Product experts in their meeting with the designers in Denmark next month. Let's see what will happen!

My avatar took 2 weeks to become public. maybe the guy checking these pics isn't that fast!

With a bit of deleting you get so much more! And the designer is.... But then again..... Who is KoaKhan?

Whahaha! This is certainly not a design by Nathanael Kuipers. He has a open (lego-related) style of building. If i could make a guess it's probably by Crowkillers. (His style of building is much more massive.) IMHO it's just a MOC. But let's wait and see!

Don't get me started on mothers in law........ But these small models like the 8260 are really cute!

Oh such great fun..... Now i can switch the rear transmission axle on and off......

Maybe some PF-lights aswell? No honestly; it's magnificent a build.

Great abservation! And what a difference it is! So who's got an answer on why these changes were made by Lego?

I guess i had the same problem. Check my brickshelf! Solving a problem! And don't forget to ask the Lego Customer service for a new part! Explain the problem in full. They will replace the part for free. Good luck!

Maybe, could be, but definately shouldn't be! But remember stressing parts in a way that isn't intended for the part will break them in time. Always remember that it's just a toy... Happy playing anyway!

Good thinking! For me the changing of the clutchgear and thus solving the problem proves that there was something wrong with that gear. So you should write an email to LEGOand explain your problems. Usually they sent you a new gear for free.

Shocked and awed...... Eric has written the ultimate review for the 8880! Fantastic!

Strange... Looks like the Technic Gear 24 Tooth Clutch keeps slipping. Did you add to much extra's on the model? Or is it just broken? When the former: remove some of the extra ballast, when the latter: aske LEGO for a new one and replace.... Good luck!

And the admins remove this kind of s***?

Until now all we got is numbers and names. No pictures yet. So everything is only speculation, "Hope to's" and "would like to's". Maybe at LegoWorld 2009 we get the opportunity to see a presentation of the new models.

Small Tip: If you are using the stickers it is better to put them on during the building proces...... BTW: Great kitchen.....
