		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
(...) I'm pretty sure we've agreed many times in the past where there was a common enemy. But it's much more fun arguing so those are what are remembered ;) (13 years ago, 13-Mar-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
(...) That * was actually an ahem but FTX ate the rest. Sounds harsher without it. Ignore the word 'fans'. Very few non-AFOLs here or in Europe would call them LEGOs. Ergo not even close to 100%. (13 years ago, 12-Mar-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: VOLUME II - Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide 1980-90s

Extra freebies coming to those who preorder the Volume II LEGO (...) (13 years ago, 6-May-11, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

		Re: 8455 New Technic Backhoe
"Me too". I bought 8455 from Shop at Home a few weeks ago and I had a lot of fun building it. It took me a little while to acclimatise myself to the new construction method with an almost complete lack of conventional bricks. I think it's a bit like (...)

		Re: 3D printers
(...) Agreed. I've seen people print 2x2 bricks, but just for fun. One thing I've considered is to use a reprap to print foundations for hills in a layout, so I only need to use bricks and plates for the visible top layer of the hills. For that (...) (13 years ago, 28-Feb-12, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
(...) I think it's the higher ratio of piece types to set size that leads him to conclude the sets are not as useful for free-form building as they once were. The argument he makes is that if you have a set of 100 unique pieces, it has less (...) (13 years ago, 1-Mar-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks

I've been sort of pondering this, and I've concluded that the researcher's conclusion makes more sense if we use as a sample 100 random elements chosen from the "classic" LEGO era vs 100 random elements from the newer Ninjago era. Whatever the (...) (13 years ago, 29-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks

I've got over 40 cars in my collection now that could (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks

So, whether or not Ninjago will have alternate models is a totally separate discussion from whether or not (...) (13 years ago, 28-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks

There weren't many connection types, so all the pieces essentially worked (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)
