If Anybody Needs Me, I'll Be In My Room....

[Brickman]

My LEGO order finally came in!

I'll be busy, plus I have a new LEGO engine I am making that is almost done, so I'll finish that up before building the buggy

Starting with the free LEGO car first!

@brickman Almost pulled the trigger on one of the R/C legos, pls review!

[Brickman]

@tripper I sure will

[frinesi2]

@brickman I'm sorry, wait a minute ...

THEY MAKE RC TECHNIC LEGOS!?!?!!?

[Brickman]

@frinesi2 Yep, for a while now. This one is the cheapest Control+ set that you use your phone to drive. Also shows you what angle the vehicle is.

The Volvo dump truck has a 3 speed automatic transmission!

@brickman this is dangerous information for my wallet ...

@frinesi2 this is news to me as well. I am imagining crashing it into another r/c lego car at high speed and it is messy.

[KAC]

@frinesi2 They've made them at least since the early 2000's.

"Supersonic RC" - I'd sure hope so! Imagine if they used audible frequency modulation for the controls.

@tripper @Brickman

+1 for full review.

[Brickman]

@kac
I had both of those

The buggy was awesome, but had to be used inside or risk losing parts. I use the motors for my LEGO engines.

I actually won the Supersonic RC set in a LEGO review drawing. Shocking LEGO would give away one of the most expensive sets in 2003

@brickman The free car looks awesome. It looks like they sold out after 6 days. Can’t believe I snoozed on that one.

I’m surprised they chose an ideas set as a giveaway.

[Brickman]

@bootstrap Yea that sold out quick! LEGO fans are ruthless nowadays. Hopefully LEGO will come back with it.

I had to order New years day at 6am
