Oooh, I drooled over that claw truck model when I was about 12! I couldn't afford it then, and I can't afford it now...

[Nuke]

i got all 4 of those lego sets in a plastic crate at my grandma's house the thing has nothing but legos in it and it weighs about 100 lbs.

you can power thouse pneumatics with one of those cans of air that you clean computers with. the compressor in the truk is kinda weak.

my ultimate goal was to build a battlemech, and while my mechanics worked fine (especially the rubberband lunchers) i lacked the control system i needed to stablize the thing. i got an rcx but that thing sucks. youd have to network 3 of them to even come close.

[Taristin]

giant Rumblebuffin! LMAO

You know you're playing too much World of Warcraft when Ebay starts looking like the ingame Auction House.

And sorry DG, but I'm too poor to buy anything right now. Maybe you could ship it to me anyway, and I'll send you an IOU? C'mon, you know you want to, I'm good for it.

For that Wartruk, yes.

[Corsair]

No sendy out of UK, no buy. Not that I'd be buying anyway, but I just thought I'd mention that. You're limiting your potential audience, DG. Just make them pay for shipping.

[beatspete]

That truck was great, it did loads of stuff, took a whole day to build.
I could never think of anything else to do with the pneumatics when I was 9 though.

[diamondgeezer]

You merks and canucks do realise there's a world outside north Am, right? I mean Britain's got a population of almost 1700 people, so I'm not exactly going to be short of customers...

A dust-free model?  I'd like to know how he did that; I've got about 100 Lego System models from the mid-to-late 90s/early 00s, all with an almost permanent layer of dust on them.  Legos have to be the biggest ***** in the world to dust.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Don't get me started on there being no "S" in Lego again.

aw shove it, il call them legos if i want to i reject all definitions of the word correct. i was a lego genious. i managed to build an star wars at/at style robot that actually walked, albeit abit slower than i had wanted (those damn motors have zero torque and by the time you gear it down it sucks). it was even steerable through an offset mechanisim that changed the link of the step. i removed the radio board out of an old rc car and adapted it to the lego motors. so the whole thing was radio controled. unfortunately it tripped and took of space to turn around in. but it was an acomplishment.

the daytona car i modified . i used my already huge collection on pneumatics and gave it hydros0 i took out the engine mockup and replaced it with a pair of lego motors.  its weithg made it slow but it went (at leadt it did in the lower 2 gears, again those motors have no torque). that was a 6 hour job to put that beast together, and i was damn sure id have fun out of it before i took it apart.

[Corsair]

I have a million legos in my room and in various places around my house and they are absolutely covered in dust. It's rather sad how lonely and abandoned they look that way.

Oh, and DG, I didn't know that Britain had that many people. No wonder you're not shipping outside the UK, with a consumer base that large. Hell, I didn't even know there was a world outside of New England... I mean, I've heard of a far off land called The South and some place called Iraq, but sometimes it's also referred to as Hell, so I don't know if it's actually real. But a United Kingdom? Whoa...

[diamondgeezer]

Yeah, it used to be fifteen individual kingdoms. But now it's united. Britain was opened by the Queen in 1972

And why is there not?  The word "Lego" is a contraction of a Danish phrase anyway, so why can't an "s" be added to the end in order to conform with genral English plural standards?
