Daniel-Technic

If it is real, does it only sell inside olympics park? Or in uk shops everywhere? I don't see black base like CMS. Daniel.

Saw it in John Lewis MK yesterday. Not happy box is empty.....

Excellent link! Didn't know about that. had a look through and very intresting. i was going to buy it a few years ago but never got around to buy it. Many thanks! Daniel.

Hi. Before I buy it, I want to check if there going to be mindstorm 3.0 coming out soon? Daniel.

Do the lego shop in Milton Keynne have 5888 in stock or only TRU? I am about to buy all the sets as I quite like it. Daneil.

Should I buy all dino 2012 sets? I quite like the sets. Are most parts yellow or green? Daniel.

Should I buy it? All of it? I quite like the sets. Lego shop in Milton Keynne, uk, has them in stock. Daniel.

I could put all basic parts in boxes labelled beams, gears, pins and axles etc. I have a lot of clear plastic boxes from Really Useful Box, they's great for stacking and can see what inside. Then i can put special parts in small drawers case. What I will do is store it as sets till I work out how much and what sets I got left. Wish I had a room just for Lego with display stand like Blackbird Daniel.

Hi. Excellent topic. I have so many sets without their own box, do I store them mixed or in a set? I've been busy with sorting out which parts goes to which sets and putting in tesco resealable freezer bags. I'm been wondering If I should store them in sets bag or mixed? What would you do? Also should I dismantle 8421, 8110 and 8258? That take a lot of bags.... Daniel.

I have this set 8455, it's the black one. it's brillant. For info, have a look at this: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51746&st=0&p=919830&fromsearch=1entry919830 Daniel.

Thanks. Finished building it, working very well, love it. I'm so glad i bought it. Daniel.

I'm a plumber by trade. Got called to a problem with toilet, not flushing well, had a look in flush pipe and found a 2 x 2 blue brick stuck inside pan flush inlet. I reckon the owner's kids must had chuck it into cistern. Cleaned it up and gave it back to them.... Daniel.

I am the proud owner of unimog u400 thanks to my brother for doing work to his house. I can't wait to start building. The u400 I bought from Lego store is v2 as say on price tag, does that mean it should be ok without defect? Dan.

Hi. Should I buy it? I'm thinking of buying it, is £159.99 a good value? How big is it? Dan.

The third photo, I can't see where this piece come from. The brick look like 2 x 12 stub. I've checked for a while on Bricklink and Brick Factory, there nothing to match. After google, I think 710 4 x 4 is a sort of Pinzgauer, a sort of off road truck. Is it a sticker stuck on brick? Is the brick Lego or megablok , you can see on stub on top of brick. Other may know. Dan

Yes, it is the black box. It coming in a few days, can't wait..... will take photo when it arrive. Dan.

Hi DLuders Many thanks for the useful link to website. I had a look, found the set i'm looking for. I can see that there are 2 different design on 8455 one a black and one a yellow. Why is that? It because I had been looking on Ebay and I've been looking for 8455 . 5 time I've lost. I found 8455 with box and instruction, now at last I've won it. Daniel

Hi. Is there a website showing all of technic sets box pictures? Is there sets have two or more different design on box? Daniel.

Hi. Welcome to the forum. You're reading the wrong place. The number is at the back of ram cylinder just above the input drive. Dan.

Mine arrived yesterday. Will have to rebuild..... Dan.

Mine just arrived yesterday. 4 has 36x0. Done the poll. Dan.

That a useful info. I will give it a go and will test it again, I love taking it again and rebuild. My excavator will now not lift the main boom anymore, think the batteries has ran out. The bucket, second boom, turntable, right track and gear switch still work, left track hardly move at all, only move if right track moved as well. Daniel.

If you built it to instructions and set correctty the small switch on remote to sync up tracks then it's normal.

Hi S.I, welcome to the forum. I'm not sure why it happen, I've taken it apart and rebuild again, checking that all gears are loose and free running, but still the same. Lego will know more and will explain soon. As for the tracks, on the remote, there is a little switch next to jog stick, switch it to either forward or reverse to sync up tracks. Dan.

sometime I do see the left track a little slower than the right track, with a fresh batteries. I think it something to do with gearing in middle of turntable. I think the M motors may not be powerful enough for tracks and main boom. It would be like driving a small car pulling a 44 tonnes trailer. I think it should have XL motors, the bulldozer has two, it is powerful, so why don't 8043 have one...... I think I shall keep it for now and wait till Lego's instruction. Dan.
