I just want an official modular announcement. Also, I have a feeling mini modulars mk 2 will come out next year.

Waltzing Along posted:It will be, but probably not by a ton. Right now the old batcave is 25% off. And they have been trying to clear those out for a long time. I think it has been 20% off for a few months. If it ever hits 50% AND I see it before it is gone 5 minutes later I will grab it. Waltzing Along posted:I just want an official modular announcement.

All the Brickheadz are "retiring soon". I guess they didn't sell well. Good. There are enough things Lego that people compulsively collect; we don' also need an avalanche of sets vomited out solely to create a "collectible".

It also doesn't appear to be true as they aren't all listed as retiring soon and they have a bunch more coming out.

Also someone found the speed champions sets, couple ford, couple ferrari, couple porsche. Pretty boring.

If any of you are the crazy types, Wal-Mart is having a 900 piece Classics set (basically a bricks box) for a measly $20 on Black "Friday" (they open at 6pm on Thursday). That's an absurdly good deal, and whenever they have those bulk bricks sets, they always sell out pretty quickly. If they don't have a per-person limit, I fully expect one Bricklink or ebay seller to walk out the door with nearly all of them. Fred Meyer's having 40% off Lego DC Girls and Nexo Knights on Black Friday. Target's got 30% off five sets--Friends: Heartlake Riding Club, Minecraft: The End Portal, Super Heroes: Harvest of Fear, Ninjago: Dawn of Iron Doom, and Star Wars: Battle on Takodana, so they're all $35 instead of $50.

I wasn't surprised when he didn't understand why the women of NASA set was a good thing. But imagine he doesn't get out much. I know I wouldn't if I had that collection.

I find myself disagreeing with a lot of his opinions on the sets, but his videos are super well produced so I still check them out if I'm ever thinking of buying something

Nabbed one. Good call on the online ordering for pickup. Lots of parts that will make it way cheaper to backfill than a brick link order

Anyone seen any deals on any of the train sets? My oldest told Santa he wanted Lego trains, so I was thinking of getting in of the IR remote train kits. Probably passenger, but I’m amenable to the others, so log as it contains the control electronics.

 Hey Power functions question: I figured the back/forward orange doodad on the battery pack above would mean I could have the 2 powered train ends (I modded 2 sets to power both ends) go in the same direction (ie: one rolled forward and one rolled backward) when I pressed a direction on the controller. What does that little toggle even do?

Which toggle? The one on the battery is forward/backward. On the remote you have on/off, speed and I think the ones w/ the circle arrows are forward/backward but am not 100 on that one. Oh, and the 1, 2, 3, 4 I believe choose what battery you are controlling.

I don't have the remote control thing, but I assume the directional control it has switches the polarity at the receiver. The switch on the batterybox switches the polarity that comes out. So you should be able to set one battery box going forward, and the other one going backward and have it work. Though I don't know exactly how the remote control works. If it works. If you can have two separate power sources or not. I would assume it would only accept one polarity at the time. Unless it sends one power input to one power output or something, you would probably need two remote receivers.

It says it reverses it. Which is what I expected... So if I have 2 engines on the same channel... with different toggle orientations, it should have one go forward and one go back, when I twist the wheel. And yet... no matter what my combination of toggle orientations, they always go the same way...

It's a 'control switch' but what that actually means, I have no idea. I just tested it and it's true that it's not a directional control at all. If you want both engines to go the same way, you're going to have to physically flip something around I'm afraid. edit: I extended mine by 2 cars and it runs just fine on one engine. edit2: you could also get this: https://www.lego.com/en-us/powerfunctions/products/control-switch-8869 which allows you to change the direction. uXs fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Nov 24, 2017 |

Is the train motor able to go backwards at all? It could be that he motor only goes one way.
