I vote for 6083 knights castle.

Ciao

Ieri visto il tempo poco invitante a passeggiate e affini ho montato il
plotter del 8094: devo dire che e' un bel giochino :)

Ma gli assi filettati e il contrappeso in metallo sono unici di questo set o
sono presenti anche in altri?

Io non li avevo mai visti ma ... sono un po' scarso :)

As some of you may have noticed, I have had some problems making my 2951
behave.
Out of frustration I made some changes to the hi-res 1-8disc.dat, and lo and
behold, suddenly everything worked.
Now, the weird thing is that there was nothing wrong with 1-8disc. It was made
with type 4 lines, where the low-res version was made with type 3 lines, but
if you think about it, it makes perfect sence, you can do the 6 type 3 lines
with 3 type 4 lines.
Well, just out of desperation I substituted these 3 type 4 lines with 6 type 3
lines, and there it was, now everything looks quite nicely.

Here's the new 1-8disc.dat with the old lines commented out:

Can anyone please tell me why LDraw won't show the old version?
I even tried to make a "part" consisting of just one of theese, and it didn't
show up either?!?:)

Guess I'll mail the changes to Steve right away.

Has anyone built a LEGO model of a pantograph-powered train and actually
powered it with overhead lines?

Will try to have linux builds/rpms up at
<URL://www.mattdm.org/mindstorms/nqc> (I'm considering setting up
nqc.mattdm.org as a more easy-to-remember URL...) within the next few days.
Would be right away, but I'm on vacation and away from good net access. :(
(I'll post here when done.)

Ack!  We need both very badly!

I mean, sometimes its just about the minis, and sometimes its just about the

Hi

I apologize I have made some mistake in the previous message, this is the right
text :)

   I have a 6991 monorail transport base to sell or trade. The set
   is factory sealed, brand new, box substantially perfect.

   6991 Monorail  (1994), Min. 250$


   I will sell the set to the best offer (over the minimum) I receive from now
   to January 30th. This is NOT an auction, I won't post any update here. This
   is a straight sale for the best offerer. Please keep in mind that your
offer
   does not include shipping from Italy (where I live), which is to be payed
by
   the buyer. I charge shipping at the bare cost, no surcharge or handling
   fees. Due to size and weight estimated shipping cost to USA will range from
   $20 uninsured surface to $50 for full insured fast airmail (UPS like)

   If you live in the US,  or in a country in which Larry has a
   factoree preferred payment method is a check in USD to Larry
   P. (http://my.voyager.net/lar/factor_desc.html), or a postal money order to
   my address

   Please email your offer to: arcmberti@dinet.it

   I may also consider to trade it for a a 6285 MISB or a 6286 MISB

   Thanks

   Marco

I have to admit that the first time I saw the Throwbots in the store, I
thought "How dippy. I'll _never_ get those." Of course, I have all eight of
them now, and I'm looking forward to the new ones... I'm starved for
information. Thanks for the heads-up, Karl! Are there any shots of the
Millennium Slizer?

-Cheese

That's the same way I felt, but then i liked them, and then I didn't, and now
I do! Get it? I'm kinda confused about it all. It's great to see someone
showing some concern for the throwbots around here. Sure they got the stupid
arm, but that can go, and then they're pretty cool! There's a picture of the
Millennia Throwbot, he's mostly grey, on a big red motorbike. It's pretty
crappy. And for $22, he's pretty expensive crap. As for information, the 3
others are:
Flare - a black and orange bat with an arm for a tail. IMHO he's the best of
them all. He uses the new technic panels (coloured orange) for wings.

Spark - A regular style throwbot in purple and black. He uses the technic
panel as some kind of hand/gun.

Blaster - he's hard to explain. First of all, he's got a price tag of $16, so
he's pretty big. He's yellow and black. On one arm, he's gottwo of the
throwing arms. His legs are assembled with 2 of the arm/leg pieces on each
leg. his feet are upsidedown throwbot heads. I don't think i'll be getting
this one.

Hope this helps! I might be able to scan some of these guys on Tuesday, and
email them to you. LMK if you need them.

Cheerio' <<KM>>
