And since it is lego, the motor comes out really easy so you can snap in a borrowed replacement on an as needed basis.

Title: Re: lego beetle Post by: ian c on July 01, 2008, 23:01:30 pm if , like me you fail to build it properly , you can apply to lego for one of these , to splash about underneath the rear of the model .

Everyone dose(sic) that, ya know.
;D Title: Re: lego beetle Post by: Jordy/DVK on July 02, 2008, 00:06:23 am They got to be kidding... Did they hire a blind designer there at the LegoHQs or what??? That shitpile of plastic doesn't even look like a beetle/bug...
And they charge you f*ing 120 quid for that. Even my 10 year old cousin, who never touched any Lego before (seems like kids nowadays only play computer games ::) ), can do waaay better than that...

Affirmative... all that's missing are the oil drips, strategically placed in various places, throughout the engine.

It was the biggest kit in the Technic Lego range at the time. ;)
