| Hi All, I've been reading this site for a while and decided it was about time to actually post something. Just to give you some background on to where I'm coming from, I'm the other guy who did the Star Wars movies with Jason Allemann. I started (...) (17 years ago, 15-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) By starter set in this context I mean a set that contains enough of the parts to be really useful in building MOCs rather than a "first" set or the like. 4 motors are better than 2 motors in this context, but the dino looks interesting too. (...) (17 years ago, 15-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) I'm with John on this one - I ended up grabbing the Dino because it was cheaper, and I could at least get experience with the new motors and control system (which I *think* I like... it's been hard to experiment a lot since my kids won't let (...)
