| | Re: Where is Ta-Koro located???
|
|
(...) I presume your question is about the online game Mata Nui. Ta-Koro is indeed in a cave inside the vulcamo, but the entrance to the cave lies at the foot of this vulcano. So if they say "located in the shadow of the Mangai volcano" they (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

| | Instructions for un-named Technic Super-Model!!
|
|
Hi, I've never posted to lugnet.technic before, I'm a Space hound. But I came across a manual for a Technic "Super-Model" which is similar to the 6861 Blacktron Super Vehicle and 6862 M:Tron Secret Space Voyager; a model built using pieces from (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | Re: Where's the Technic???
|
|
I must confess that what is on offer these days *IS* different. (...) But I think you may be over-reacting to the (lack of?) merit of some of these new sets. We are being asked to revisit some assumptions about how things are put together. Yes, (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | Re: Where's the Technic???
|

I too wonder where the good Technic stuff is. What happened to all the sets of yester year that had bricks and beams and studs? None of the recent stuff even interests me. Sets such as the 8466 and 8458 don't even look like Lego sets. I've not seen (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | Nick and Jens Bought!
|

Got Nick and Jens today. First impression is hmm... . Ok bubble box type deal. Back is usual ad/stuff in series graphic. Looks like they use the new click ball joints. (Am I parroting anybody?) I got to say toy Nick looks as cute as his live (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jul-02, to lugnet.galidor, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) (Anyone else ready for a rant party?) No kidding!!! I'm starting to get offended! Isn't it AFOLs that have the $$ to buy the (real) Technic and Mindstorm kits anyway? And the margin should be higher since they don't have to pay for royalties (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | Re: Large arch bridge geometry - help!
|
|
(...) Like I said in a different message, I can't make large scale experimentation in the present (not enough parts). I must therefore restrict to details, and that is why the theoretical approach is so important to me. (...) That is partially the (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | Re: Large arch bridge geometry - help!

(...) You are absolutely right - LEGO is about trial and error. And I will use the method, but on a limited basis (to test triangles' sequences, for instance). The reason is I currently own very few technic parts, and I'll only buy the rest *after* (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) It helps A LOT!!! Thanks, TJ. I'll be working with this during the holidays, to see what I can design. Now I must find the actual measurements of the bridges, to be more accurate with my project - but that is the easy bit :-) Fantastic page, (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)
