Fun fact, when the dark blue technic 4x4 came out my dad bought 2 at our Lego store to flip them, thinking he could make a profit. I think he made a few dollars, but that was about it. I’m sure if he had waited a few years he could have made bank. It was a really odd idea, as it’s something he’d never done before and has never done since. He doesn’t even use lego.

Welcome back @unbrickme! 🎉 4:57 I agree with you 100%, LEGO should definitely recolor the Technic pins to make the builds look more appealing, especially for 18+ display models! At the very least, they should offer it as an option!

Thanks to the very basic brick and parts from the early 80’s technic sets I have pieced together the go kart, the small motorcycle and all 4 engine models from the engine set.

@Unbrickme 5 ай бұрын

There were some comments claiming that a particular set, which I said was only in the USA, was also available in Europe. Whether I am right or they are right, I have no idea. I just went off of blackbird’s technicopedia which claimed that sets were only in the USA. It’s the best tool I have for telling the rarity of a set. Hopefully it’s right. But yeah I feared I could be inaccurate back then, that’s why.

@@Unbrickme Same here, as an aircraft enthusiast I would've loved to see it. Besides, we literally got legitimate fighter jets in sets like the Air Race Jet and Blue Power Jet (F-35/F-22), Display Team Jet (L-39 Albatross or similar), or Super Soarer (F-14) I do wonder though, you often say *modern,* so theoretically speaking they could make something like a P-51 or SR-71, or maybe a DC-3 or C-130 (DC-3 was originally built for airlines to begin with, P-51, SR-71, and C-130 could all be marketed as relatively safe aircraft like the Blackbird with NASA, C-130 with Coast Guard, or P-51 racer)

07:41 Sure the Osprey is a rare kit….but it’s easily recreated. Tough to do it in the set colours, but you can get all the parts in yellow and red to create a nice coherent colour scheme for a recreation of the set! And the motor and hubs are identical to those in the Airbus helicopter set! All in you can recreate the kit in a red and yellow colour scheme for a fraction of what the actual set costs! If you buy used it could only cost you as much as the original RRP of the set! I know because that’s how I built mine! 😂

I own a 41999, I can't remember I had to be super early to get it. It's a great set, but the crawling capabilities are not that great. It still looks great on the shelf.

@vizonex4316 5 ай бұрын

Tried to get my hands on the V22 but the parts for it are starting to show up in other sets so the price of it may go down in the following years. I have already started collecting some of these parts myself.

I don't think 1972 was sold only in usa. I bought it in Norway in 1987, and I'm quite sure it was sold in denmark and sweden as well. Gary Istok knows the details.

@Unbrickme 5 ай бұрын

It’s what saves Lego sets! Without scalpers, every old sealed copy would be long gone. I’d argue they are the ones responsible for preserving sealed copies from 50 years ago. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I feel like without the culture of buying sets to resell, nobody would be able to enjoy sealed sets from many years ago
