KyleR Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 4 hours flat finished the Mini Cooper, despite being about the same size/piece count as the 8 hour VW camper. It was so much easier because the bags were numbered and therefore only had to rummage around in 1/3 of the pieces at a time to find that elusive 1x1. Some great wee details on this one, including the dials and radio on the dash as well as a handbrake and moveable seats for access into the back. I do think the steering wheel is a little oversized for the model, but who cares The boot is great, just enough room for the picnic basket and bottle of water, plus the false floor under which is the spare wheel So thats all my LEGO models built until I source another Tower Bridge, although I have the Back to the Future set and Exo Suit upstairs which are both LEGO Ideas sets, so I think I'm just going to keep them safe and sealed and hope they become collectors items 4 Quote
Fodder Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 These sets are so detailed it's great. I dropped the hint to the OH about getting some Lego and she gave me the go ahead on the proviso I give her a baby boy Shame it's not the same as digital downloads for the Xbox where she will never know Quote
glrnet Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Wish I'd been lucky enough to have numbered bags, it took ages to sort through the parts at first. Quote
GMballistic Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Love the Mini Kyle. Some great details. Quote
tatooandy67 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Reading this thread has made me remember the hours of fun I had with my Lego technic sets, think I'll dig them out tomorrow Pics to follow ......... 2 Quote
tatooandy67 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Here's my lego technic collection, the boxes are a bit dusty but the sets are all complete. I also have lots of extra pieces which I've collected from online vendors, enthusiasts etc so that I could make other models as you can download instruction manuals from either lego or lego enthusiast forums Now they're out what to make first....

KyleR Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 That's quite the Tecnics collection there, I love the digger! 1 Quote
tatooandy67 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 The digger is one of my favourites too as it has lots of moving functions so lots of gearing which for me is the best bit, I think it's great to build working gears/gearboxes with the little cogs and pins etc, it's motorised too wich is a nice touch, the pieces in the 8043 kit also build a bulldozer which is quite good but not as complex as the digger but still fun for a technics fan Quote
veeg33 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Great collection there mate. They worth a bit more now for sure, but fun of building it is priceless 1 Quote
tatooandy67 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Great collection there mate. They worth a bit more now for sure, but fun of building it is priceless nice to think they may increase in value , maybe hand them down to my kids (now grown up) or my grandkids one day, absolutely agree you can't put a price on fun times/hours spent building, you can't beat the feelings of satisfaction after making (insert name of your favourite model here) Edited January 1, 2015 by tatooandy67 Quote

KyleR Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 Ooooo look what's coming on 1st August. http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Ferrari-F40-10248 Purchased one last night in work now I need to decide if I'm going to keep it safe as an investment or build it... Quote
14N Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Purchased one last night in work now I need to decide if I'm going to keep it safe as an investment or build it... I purchased this the other night: http://www.lego.com/en-gb/technic/products/42039-24-hours-race-car I'm seriously impressed - it's huge too! (48cm in length ooer) It's an awesome bit of kit and has really ignited a lust for more Lego - even though all I've managed to do so far is build the rear axle, diff, suspension and engine Quote
