| | Re: Train motors comparison
|
|
(...) Okay, this is awesome work, Philippe, to see the comparison of the new PF motor vs the 9 volt motor. As an eight wider, I always lamented the underpowered 9 volt motor in its attempts to pull heavy, 8 wide consists. But it wasn't such an issue (...)

(...) If it's any consolation, Canada still gets the shaft in both cases. (...) Canada Price $250 (...) NOT SOLD IN CANADA! (I bought mine through a parallel importer at $220) Is it fair? Heck no! (14 years ago, 31-Aug-10, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Normally, one would have to be a LEGOLAND Ambassador Pass passholder, and sign up for the master builder session. I have asked whether the BI can be shared with Adult LEGO Enthusiasts, and I'm waiting to hear back. You should be warned, (...) (14 years ago, 31-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) It's also a good idea to make all lights but one 'shadowless' so you don't have the spotlight effect of crossing shadows. I often put a shadowless light at the point of the camera, to make sure everything we see is reached by *some* light. (14 years ago, 29-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hey Philo, thanks for the advice. I have commited the part to the parts tracker. I am not sure about the Needs Work notice. I just added a '(needs work)' to the name and a little comment section in the file. I hope thats ok. Rolf (14 years ago, 30-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)

| | Re: "Lego Minifigures"?

(...) No, they were. There was a European polybag and a different North American polybag. The two sets of bags came with two different secondary barcodes, so if you had the US codes and bought some random minifigs from Europe, you wouldn't be able (...) (14 years ago, 29-Aug-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) These are known as collectable minifigs, and were sold "blind" in non transparent polybags. There was a barcode trick though, permitting us to dertermine wich figure it contained. Two series of 16 different figures each have came out in shops (...) (14 years ago, 29-Aug-10, to lugnet.general)
