One other question regarding this set. Why the new type of motor? It is bigger than it needs to be, not any better as far as I can tell than the standard type (just as noisy anyway), and no doubt added to the cost of the set. It has two places that (...)

(...) Not at Toys Toys Toys, not at Bricks & Blocks, so I guess the lesser retailers haven't got them yet. I haven't checked Toy Blox yet 'cause they are far away and they sell some things at above MSRP. All I'm waiting for is for Bricks & Blocks to (...)

Hello Jordan, (...) As Joäo said, opening 43362 is a nightmare (for more details, see (URL) and LEGO service is for sure the best way to go. (...) I don't think that your motor could electrically burnt. But I have seen 43362 motors with broken (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jun-05, to lugnet.technic)

Now the thing won't turn unless I really force it. What (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, FTX)
