  crazy kids
 
I just picked up two more packages of Kanohi from a local Wal Mart. Every single pack had been opened partially by hooligan kids (I mentioned this to an employee after I helped a woman pick out Toa for a gift and she just sighed and said "Kids are (...)

  Re: which year?
 
(...) That's a tough call for me. There was a "break", so to speak, when Technic sets went to market in Europe before North America(USA), well, most of the time. I'd have to go by decade starting with the 80's. IMHO, 1981 was an excellent year in (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Alternate ramp raise/lower mechanism for 8680
 
(...) I'd really like to see what you came up to. (...) Allow me a suggestion: walking legs (no kidding!). you could try a mechanism similar to the one portrayed in the 1990 Technic Idea Book (don't remember the set #). There would have to be (...)

  Re: Cool New Desktop Toa
 
(...) Gee, what I shock....no Mac support. Typical. (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Alternate ramp raise/lower mechanism for 8680
 
I've cobbled an alternate mechanism which raises and lowers the ramp of the 8680 main model. The standard one takes up too much room inside! After all, this is a cargo sled, so internal volume shouldn't be wasted if it can be done another way. Let (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: McDonalds Bionicle - questions
 
(...) I used a technic angle connector #1 and a technic axle 2. This allows the head to move from side to side. I put some pictures at (URL) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: I am stuck in the online game.....
 
Two other things I just noticed: 1) If you go back and talk to the rock guy in the tunnel after you are done, he breaks through the rock and starts the whole thing over again (though your reward is still in inventory), so it is either a bug or a way (...)

  Re: McDonalds Bionicle - questions
 
(...) Yup...it was a shorty...less than a month. Contact Dave Johann to consume mass quantities of #6 (Matoro). (...) Nope...not yet anyway... (...) Well, they ARE Lego...give it a try! Matt (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: I am stuck in the online game.....
 
Here it is again (though the whole flute thing seems as buggy and unpredictable as the infected ball problem): 1) Face the main tree landing (you will see a circular dais and three huts in front of you, three more huts to the left, and another (...)

  McDonalds Bionicle - questions
 
For some reason I just adore the McDonalds Bionicle sets. They're so charmingly antropomorphic. They please me a lot more than the smallest "on-the-shelf" Bionicle sets (such as 8541 Matau, although I'll probably wind up buying them as well (...)

  Re: I am stuck in the online game.....
 
(...) Alas, I'm stuck on the entry to Le-Koro as well. I have the flute, and have tried to use it many times, even after getting right off the elevator pod (per Brian's suggestion). No luck. And there doesn't seem to be much else to do here. What am (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: Technic beam colours
 
(...) I agree, I find white suffers most from scratch's which then fill with dirt. That makes them look really bad. (...) I know the blue problem all too well, I noticed when assembling a wall of old and new blue bricks the green tinged old one's (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Well, first he has to show me each piece, one by one, to hear "no, I want that, yes you can sell that , no I want that... :)) Seriously though, I've no idea, Kieran is pretty efficient. Must be the new babby distracting him from more important (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Special project
 
I'm going to be doing a Super Saturday "class" at the local Jr. High School and I thought I'd share it with you. They want me to show how to modify a Bionicle. I thought for a while about how to do it, and I think the best idea I could come up with (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: Cool New Desktop Toa
 
More spoilers, only continue to the very bottom if you can't wait (...) Double click on the toa, the round thingy shows up. Now using the codes above, click on the symbols in order (top "12:00" is 1 next to the right is 2 and so on) When you click (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) cool! i wonder if they will have the other charictors for download soon:-) and a full selection of ALL the masks would be neat too... (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: Technic beam colours
 
(...) My preference is: Black Dark Grey (this is more of a wish than a preference, I have loads of MOC ideas that would need long beams in Dark Grey. For the moment though they will have to use... Light Grey) Green Yellow Unfortunately I havene't (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: Gold mask
