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 -
Needs 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.
