A Power plant not to mini fig scale will be like the architecture series, ala, not that fun, to build as well to play with. !

Yep my son has done nothing but moan that the Venator he's built is not fun to play with because it's not to scale with the x-wing. He actually questioned whether I love him or not for giving him it to play with!

The only people that will care about the scaling are anal adults. I have never had less or more fun on a build because of scale. I value strength and stabilty over that.

Your son wouldn't be playing with a micro scale power plant. It would be a closed model with no internal detail or anywhere to play with it. Like the Architecture series, it would be an ornamental display piece.

I didn't say he would, Raymond said if it wasn't to scale it wouldn't be fun to play with. So the truth is the scale won't matter for "fun to play with".

I said if the buildings that size isn't min fig scale it'll be like the architecture series, not fun to play with, there will be no doors to open, can't put Mr Burns figure into it and the Power plant will basically be something like a foot stool.

Good build. Couple of slightly awkward bits if you have big manly fingers though

I see Lego is now the world's biggest toy company.

 

[Skeeter]

Only now? Who was the biggest before?

In the process of selling all my Star Wars and LOTR stuff seriously ran out of room so decided to concentrate on just superhero stuff...was going to sue the money ive made to get a death star, purely for its awesomeness...but the ONLY place i could put it is half a cm too small to fit it in...so looks like im passing that off as a bad job

 

[Skeeter]

Ebay? Any good deals?

Not really a fan of Technic, but I quite like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...p=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00B0ICW5W

27% off (although it has been slightly less in the past).

Anyone built this?

Or should I wait for 3 for 2 deals?

 

[Scrutinize]

Yer....

#edit Now built and its pretty awesome...

 

[Bipolar Kittens]

I'm waiting on 17 parts to arrive before I can start building this:

That's got to be hundreds, if not thousands of pounds of Lego!

How big the model going to be when finished?

Picked up the cargo plane today in my local Argos for £65, not bad for a RRP £110 set.

He's actually mad , its minifig scale and 6000+ pieces. I actually wanted to make it myself but couldnt justify it so i redesigned it in LDD to be almost as big with 4000 pieces, ill get around to it one day
