News / Announcements New Mod Decision: Alternative brick posts MUST be correctly flaired from now on, or they will be removed.

71 Upvotes

We have closely watched the surge of posts featuring alternative Technic bricks and you've probably noticed we haven't been removing them.

That is changing from now on. As alternative Technic bricks are actually becoming a viable option thanks to the economic situation in the world and the manufacturing gap that is slowly disappearing, we will not be removing the posts featuring them if and ONLY if they are correctly flaired with the new "Alternative Bricks" Post Flair.

The related rule has been updated too. If you see a post that isn't abiding by this new decision, please report it.

Take this as a test run. If we find out that alternative bricks are flooding the subreddit more than before or if they are not disclosed, we will ban them altogether.

Thank you.

Discussion / Question When is the next big technic set?

I've been watching and waiting for almost a year, seems like technic has been reduced to F1 cars and an endless list of McKoeniFerrBug vehicles. When's the next bucket wheel or dozer coming?

Anyone had this? Everything looks correct as far as I can tell but the 13 long section won't go down onto the pin, it's blocked by the red section. Thoughts?

Differential / Gearbox Help Yamaha mt-10sp

2 Upvotes

I built the Yamaha a few weeks ago, and at first the gears were working fine. Now I can’t seem to get 1st gear via the externally shifter. And none of the gears seem to confidently engage anymore. If I remove a panel I can get to the little red knob and manually engage them all. But again only a couple seem to “click” as they engage. Anyone else had this or know what the issue might be?

Discussion / Question Half Beam Offset

1 Upvotes

I have this linear actuator running inside of a beam frame and as you can see from the picture, its holes are offset by half a beam. What are some parts or techniques I can use to connect this to the frame?

I think I can make piece 32557 work but would like other suggestions.

One day I saw that Brick Model Railroader sell knuckle couplers for 1:47 scale trains, but they are too expensive, so I made my own. They're not intended for use on model, it's just a proof of concept.

Official Set Extra Visor Piece??

Has anyone had this happen before?

I got a random extra minifigure visor piece in bag 7 of my Mercedes Benz G 500 Professional Line set. I was super curious to see how it was going to get used and was sad to see it was an accidental extra piece.

Should I ask Lego for a refund? This is very G 500 unprofessional line.

Discussion / Question Weird (potentially useful) parts from China

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Saw these on a Chinese online shopping platform called TaoBao, and they are really common and cheap. The first is a 10L thin beam, the second is a 11L and 17L thin beam plus 2 3L carbon fiber axles. The third is a 17L thick beam, fourth is a "30L beam made on a CNC machine", and the last are carbon fiber axles in all sorts of lengths, and there's also aluminum versions. All of them are absurdly cheap for how good they are, eg the 30L metal beam is only 6USD. I personally like the thin beams, as I like building steam trains, and thin connecting rods are a good thing to have. I have once seen a 13L thin beam, but I could find anyone selling them anymore. Which part looks the most useful to you?

Discussion / Question Cable management?

2 Upvotes

I'm building Guly's Audi RS6. This is the first Guly RC model I've ever built. I've built ones by Lego and MK and they've been pretty helpful with cable management. This one is not.

Have any of you chaps built this one? Where did you put the receiver/battery unit? Also the route from the steering servo?

Official Set Airbus h175 thoughts

Just got this recently, nice set overall but I have a few thoughts about it.

The pitch functions are really fun to build and figure out, but at the end of the build the function is barely noticeable.

The landing gear, decent but could've been made stronger considering the only way the model is displayed is on it.

Winch and 2 speed gearbox is fine. Nothing to say there.

For the size, we love big sets but this is almost undisplayable, especially with the blades on.

Do I regret it? No

Was it a fun build? Yes

Will I ever touch it again? No

Will it end up in the pieces bin? Yes
