It's a testament to Carbs' building ability that everyone saw an incredibly detailed build and just sorta assumed it was also mechanically functional.

Just make a whole line of lego tools and it will combine the two very expensive passions that end up sitting on a shelf unused 99% of the time.

I did do kind of a neat thing with the tube, though: I used the newish 4 x 4 round brick with recessed center on the bottom to simulate the tube's plastic plunger. This is why most of the tube was built upside-down.

The cop gets noticeably more aggressive and tacticool with each step. Lego is reflecting the real world slide of police forces into militarization.

Worked on the Delorean on and off during work today, just finished the front wheel wells. The wheel rotating mechanism is ingenious, and it's so drat satisfying to just flip it back and forth and back and forth.

I want to thank Carbohydrates for suggesting the little Technic motorcycle because it was a fun little build, but also curse them because I think I'm into Technic now.

I think you'll probably burn yourself out on technic after a couple big builds. Buy some sets that cover the bases with lots of gears, differentials, linear actuators, springs, and pneumatics and you've pretty much got everything you're going to get out of Technic. In my opinion at least. The sets aren't as interesting to look at as a detailed Lego build, and there's only so much you can do with the set of mechanical things they have.

I‘m happy I went for the biggest technic bike immediately because that way I won’t be tempted to pick up all the smaller models although the chopper does seem tempting. So does the Ducati. So much for that then  Im about done with the motor now, and it’s pretty amazing for me without any technic experience at all apart from the batmobile. I get the feeling this is gonna be a pretty big model, the engine/transmission is huge already. I hope they do similar models, the luxury cars somehow don’t do it for me but maybe I’ll put them on price alert and surprise myself

I picked up the Heavy-Duty Tow Truck today and I'm looking forward to it, haven't built a Technic set in 25 years and it seems like the modern version of the stuff I grew up with.

I had two or three of those moon plates to go with my Blue (I think) Lunar Lander kit when I was a kid. I donated my suitcase of Lego to a good friend's kids a few years ago and I'm glad they went to a good home even though I had no idea I would get back into this. That set must have come out 40 years ago. Yikes. omg chael crash posted:New Lego Star Wars game is a lot of fun Agreed! I wish you could play co-op online. I seriously don't understand what is keeping them from doing that. Wife and I had a good time playing last night but it would be better if we didn't have to Split Screen

I'm glad there's new, fresh LEGOs so I can make the bin feel alive and fun for my kids rather than a collection of the dead childhood memories of a man in his late 30s

It's gift time for a nephew that's finally old enough to get lego presents. To help out the parents, I want to get one of those drawstring mats. Anyone got a favorite brand for one, and got a feeling for if they even work well with kids? I'm thinking either a solid white/grey color would be nice to keep brick visibility or maybe a street grid pattern so he can pretend he's building a city.
