***The Official OcUK Lego Thread***

[potatolord]

Mega thank you! Just made a few cheeky offers on the Dozer and TREX. Secretly hoping both are accepted


Is it exclusively mobile phone controlled or can you buy a proper controller for it? That's the only thing putting me off.

Bulldozer set 8275 is the one I had. It's a great set.

If you get a few sets, you'll have lots of motors, tracks etc and can build other stuff.

If you're looking to get serious, this book is a great source of ideas:

Placed an order today ... but it's already on back order so won't be dispatched until 6/12 at earliest.

Mine arrived yesterday!

Bag 1. Is it an AT AT yet?

I'll raise you.....

I'll raise you.....

Love it. How many bags in? Probably onto the second box?

Suspect I’ll get a fair bit done over the holidays. It looks like a pretty clever build.

Some of the sets I ordered last week have started to arrive.

This, is the MOC Horizon Tall Neck. The bags are not numbered and the PDF instructions are in 15 sections, totalling 500mb with between 60 and 90+ pages in each section.

Gulp!

What was the cost of the bricks? Bricklink I assume?

£157.91 Ali Express

I suspect the Thunder Jaw will be the same when it arrives.

All good old technic sets are expensive.

My favourites were
The power functions rc bulldozer. That one is great, and is also big. It comes with 3 or 4 motors, so is good for building other stuff.
Lego JCB model 8455- loads of pneumatics. My favourite technics kit of all.
The power function rc dinosaur is also fantastic. It's a TRex and it actually walks and roars. Comes with 3 or 4 motors. Set 4958.

Won the Dozer - £80 and the T-Rex for £45. Very happy, thank you

That's way cheaper than I thought they'd be.

Your kid will love both of those. The Dozer is steerable and the trex is just an amazing thing. Did I mention its mouth opens when it roars?

The Dozer gives you a good platform for tanks, half-tracks etc in future

Fake Lego, (usually) stolen designs from Lego community creators and stolen IP which are made up in to sets being sold out of China - the home of copy and paste.

Cheap prices though, quality can be hit and miss.

Finished bag 13 and have the fourth box left. I've not connected the body to the legs as still to decide where to complete the build.

Oh yeah the storyline for the boss

Mine arrived yesterday!

Received mine yesterday. Didn't have to wait long after all. Will be my Xmas holiday build ... just wrapping up the final segment ( stern ) of the Titanic.

 

[Capt Doufos]

Run out of space for more Christmas lego sets. Decided to level up what we had. Of course I bought more lego as well anyway, will have to rotate it out

Only took about 3 hours of faff for the first light set. 5 more to go!

Bought these today

And finally got around to getting some display units in Ikea

Needs some LED strips but I'll sort that another day. I've another one to be assembled, too and will likely need a few more

I've fitted an led light strip with a built in PUR to my setup. It lights up whenever we walk by . Just need to hide the cables.

I've got GladOS, companion cube and a turret sitting on a shelf, and I thought that was enough!
