Registered 16 years agoHmm, not sure it's genuinely interesting or not, think I would agree with all of them though. I think if you're a Lego freebuilder you would know all that anyway. -

Jamie Berard is my favourite Lego designer BTW. He's behind most of the original Lego modulars.
The story towards the bottom of the document is very interesting.
This model was released as a promotional set for the opening of

Legoland Germany. It is suppose to be an Audi TT. In addition to its
unorthodox and difficult build, it forces elements into unnatural
connections causing them to be permanently damaged. It was
packaged with only a single picture and no building instructions.
As a direct result of this set, all models now produced by the LEGO
Group must go through the Design Department. This ensures that
nothing gets released without first being approved by a Model
Committee. Sometimes lasting up to 2 or 3 days, this review allows
representatives from building instructions, senior designers, engineers
and the designer sit down together and build the model. The goal is
to maintain an ‘only the best is good enough’ approach to our design
process. A final heat test then highlights further weaknesses that
must be changed before the set can be launched out onto the market. -

Registered 15 years agoLego finally shipped the batch of replacements parts I've ordered for the UCS Millennium Falcon (I don't know why it took them 2 weeks to do so..?), so once that arrives I can crack on with the remainder of the build!
Can't wait -

Registered 17 years agoNeeds a team of micro figures to go with the stadium! Can’t say I’m interested in football related Lego..
Half way through the Saturn V rocket, very cool, will look nice next to the Lunar Lander.

Has to be the Nebulon B for me - I hated the TIE UCS set so not to fussed about the bomber and the prequel thing is shit. -

They’re licensing Fast & Furious too, for a new range. I guess based on the new animated show considering the 10+ age they’re using. -

Registered 17 years agoI've had a self imposed Lego hiatus for about 7 months in terms of buying, but I fell off the wagon in a bad way last week. In the course of four days I picked up the Apollo Lunat Lander, Central Perk and the Stranger Things set.
Was fascinated and horrified in equal measure to see what a shambles Lego have made of the VIP programme. Goodbye impulse purchases, hello having to 'purchase' vouchers that expire after 30 days if unused. -

Registered 17 years agoRe: the Fast & Furious licence. I know it'll be a vehicle that will feature in the film that's released later in the year, but damn I want it to be Paul Walker's Skyline R34 from 2 Fast 2 Furious. -

The vip stuff is terrible, why did they go and change it, and to that of all things! Someone at Lego is missing a brick or two... -

Registered 16 years agoCan't say as that captures anything like the beauty or delicate finesse of the actual space station which is the essence of its charm (if a such an object can actually have charm). The Lego kit just looks chunky and clumsy. It would need to be about 4 times the size as now and then it might capture the essence but for me it doesn't work. At least they've gone for printed bricks for the solar panels rather than stickers. -

Registered 16 years agoI agree with getting the lander first - it will be away before this.
I have the rocket and want all the space sets as they are all pretty cool in their own ways -

Registered 17 years agoDont like the space station I have to say, scale looks all over the place and it's just not very appealing to look at. I've got the Lunar Lander and the Saturn V rocket which I'm very happy with.
Was hoping to get the Space Shuttle set but prices are ridiculous for that.
A new Lamborghini set will be unveiled soon.. -

Registered 17 years agoHalfway through building the Ford Mustang. I've just completed the doors and the hinges are a work of art!
I'm in awe of the designer, and even more aware that I'm destined to just build sets - I could sit there with an infinite number of bricks and never be able to come up with stuff like this. -
I free build mostly, and know some neat tricks, but I have such respect for designers.
Look at where we have come over the past 20 years, they keep on pushing the fold in terms of new techniques and complexity of builds.
