I think it was around $150 AUS which is actually cheaper than the VW Camper van was.

What's this I hear of a Competition between a Lego Lotus F1 car, another F1 car and a MP4/4?

If its real you all should vote for the McLaren. Now.

 

[commodoreben]

I just put a Lego layby on at the local Toyworld. In it are the Palace Cinema set, Sopwith Camel and the Winter Village Market sets.

Yeah, read somewhere that it's going to be $150 AUD, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than I originally thought it would be.

 

[commodoreben]

I was expecting it to be around $200. Needless to say that it is going to be on my next order from Lego.

I got the Everything is Awesome edition of The Lego Movie on Blu-Ray.

My latest Lego set is a 3 in 1 Creator set. The first build is a Bike shop and Café.

My latest creation: A hybrid track-day car. Powered by front-mounted lithium batteries and a vertically rear-mounted flat-6 engine.

The red bricks on the sides are batteries, placed so they can be changed easily. The cars does not have a KERS in order to save weight.

It's the first non-RC lego car I've built to feature workable steering, which can be adjusted using the steering wheel.

There is one seat and no trunk, so the car is completely useless for grocery runs. Seat and mirrors are both adjustable.

The engine slides upward out on the engine bay (which probably wouldn't actually work but whatever). It is sourced from a Porsche 911 Carrera S and makes 400 horsepower. The batteries give an extra 160 horsepower, giving it a total output of 560. The engine is mated to a 6-speed paddle-shifted single-clutch transmission.

Specs:
Top Speed: 176 mph
Horsepower: 560
Weight: 600 kg
Engine: 3.8L H6

I love Legos!

I love to engineer stuff through Technic pieces.

Some steering boxes I have made.

By measuring the amount of force it takes to break a 2x2 brick, a BBC reporter has answered the question: how tall can a Lego tower get?

I am currently working on a Land Rover Discovery 2

What sort of scale and features will it be/have?

 

[Charlie A]

What sort of scale and features will it be/have?

It is made from Technic. About 1/10th id say. I'll post pictures soon.

That's like something from V-sauce. Brilliantly pointless!

I finally rebuilt the Café and Bike shop into the Mechanics workshop.

[commodoreben]

Cant wait to see what you do build.

Sea-themed Lego pieces washed overboard in 1997 are still turning up on beaches in England... and some people claim to have found bits as far afield as Australia...

[commodoreben]

Where abouts in Australia are they washing up? A friend that I work with were joking around today saying we were going to go on a scuba diving holiday off the Cornish coast.

Got the Mini Cooper the other day and finally had a chance to put it together tonight, pretty cool model with a nice bit of detail.

Just found out a Lego Store is being built at the mall near me.

Just found out a Lego Store is being built at the mall near me.

I think Id go broke if one opened near me. I just ordered some more sets from Lego.com, Ill put some pics up of what I got when they arrive and this weekend I plan on building the final version of the Café/Bike Shop set Ive been posting pics of.

How big is the Mini compared to a 1/18 scale car?

It's 1/10 scale, so quite a bit bigger

I have the VW Van model. It has nice detail as well. I plan to get this model too.

 

[commodoreben]

Ive got both the VW Camper and Beetle and would love to add the Mini to my collection. Maybe for Christmas. I finally rebuilt the Bike Shop/Café set into its final build. A Florist shop.

I remember I got the best Lego set as a birthday present once. It was a truck that carried three Formula 1 cars. It got hours of fun from pre-teen me. Eventually I took it apart because I wanted to rebuild it, but lost the instruction sheets. I've never been able to find one like it (though I haven't looked to hard).

 

[cgg]

Here's my latest creation! It was made for a competition on a Lego Forum. The rules were, Lego Technic and no more than 200 pieces.
