Has anyone tred using a more powerful battery pack in the Dirt Crusher. it ships with a 7.2V 1400 mAh unit, but as this is a standard RC pack, you can get lots of more powerful ones for not a lot. I've seen one that holds 3500 mAh. Has anyone tried (...) (22 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

I wonder if LEGO has considered how that would affect prices in various countries. For example in Canada LEGO is duty free since Denmark is considered a preferred trading partner, but I am not sure on the situation with China, will see if I can find (...)

(...) I don't believe that's true. LEGO targets the yound children with "cool" products that are all fresh and new. Most kids would rather have the newest theme than an old set they saw in a catalog a year ago. And if these kids wanted these sets in (...) (22 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(URL) stack of five 1x2 bricks has 4 more "ridges" than a single 1x2x5 brick which puts just enough extra friction on the beam that it will not fall under gravity. So (...)

Do you ever wonder sometimes why Lego developed some particular part and say to yourself "what were they thinking?". The one piece that comes to my mind is the 1x4x2 arch. I mean it is virtually identical to the 1x4 arch plus two 1x1 bricks attached (...) (22 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)
