Yeah, but those 15 things are more marketing than functionality: • Quickly forward
 • Slower forward
 • Slowly forward
 • Quickly backwards
 • Slower backwards 
• Slowly backwards 
• Turn left 
• Turn right
 • Red tail lights
 • Long tail lights
 • Headlights 
• Long headlights
 • Turret turning to the right 
• Turret turning to the left
 • Moving up track case

Made some updates to the file. Now it's only missing: Tracklinks A 2L half-beam on the gearbox to change the position of the driving ring Replace the panels on the back with 44350 and 44351 Four of 30028 for the grabbing arm tips A 12t gear to mesh with the turntable Four teal flex hoses on the head Misc. decoration Hopefully the pictures will help guide where the missing stuff belongs. Of course, nothing to stop you from building it differently :)

Thanks! Sure, can I have 500 or so Euro? :P

That truck, it's adorable!

I'm trying to get rid of some Pirate sets which've been hanging around forever. They're brand new; eleven of set 6239, and four of 6240. I'm thinking $150 for the lot, which undercuts the cheapest new prices on Bricklink. PM me if you're interested!

Thanks for your comments everyone! Here's an LDD file: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/vmln8r/Misc/astro.lxf The motor that deploys the third leg and associated linkages also controls a gearbox, that switches between rotating the head and operating the claw.

Thanks! With great difficulty and countless rebuilds, which might explain the half-arsed video.

They're : More images here.

Sweet, sweet stuff (especially that bike).

That I think is some sort of issue with the V2 receiver and M motors: http://www.technicbricks.com/2012/11/lego-power-functions-incompatibilities.html

Very elegant, nicely done!

More than anything else, I think it's just brand promotion. Looking backwards can't be a good look for a company, especially when it's so easy to rebuild pretty much anything Lego has ever made from Bricklink et al.

I like how downsizing has given the models cartoony proportions, particularly the tractor. Cute. As for the photos, I recommend lots of natural light and a tripod.

I've been out of the loop wrt Lego for a while now; can anyone recommend a good place (read price) to get a 10240 X-Wing? Amazon via YouShop seems reasonable (~$235 NZD + shipping).

This? :D

Parts list: LXF

Plausibly, yes, but who cares?

^ The people at Lego direct have told me they don't know when these parts will be available, but that it -could- be July or, even August. Same deal with the new parts from the Boss Crawler.

I managed to completely soak a rechargeable battery box while testing out a stingray prototype; after some vigorous shaking and mildly-warm air from a hairdryer, it's still going some months later.

Nikkiwi: take a picture with all the parts spread out in a thin layer, people will go nuts.

Ah, thanks. I have the new pumps, which I assume have check valves? When I connect a pump to the central port on the distribution block, and a new cylinder to each of the output ports (via the cylinder's lower port), pumping simply extends both cylinders. I had assumed (from here) that on the distribution block: How then should the distribution block be connected, such that continuous pumping will provide a continuous vacuum?

Would I be right to say that only the old-style pumps () will work to create a vacuum using the distribution block ()?

Zblj; loving those connections within the H-frame. Very elegant.
