: Too many decals (as usual) I originally set out to buy Lego Technic set number 8460, the Mobile Crane. I had saved up for about three months for this model blissfully unaware that dark forces were out to thwart me. They stopped making that model last month." Heart-broken, I began to trudge out of the store. Then, something suddenly caught my eye. It was a model I had not seen before, set number 8459, the new pneumatic Front-End Loader! Determined not to go home empty-handed, I immediately purchased the set and took it home. I must say, after initial misconceptions about how simple it was (first impressions can often be very wrong), it is one of the best Lego sets I have ever purchased. The new Technic Front-End Loader (released in the US and Canada in August, then Australia in October) is quite a large and complex model with fairly realistic detailing. The twin exhaust pipes at the rear of the model, the ladders on either side of the cabin and the rear bumpers were all nice touches.
As with most pneumatic models, the main feature is the device which is manipulated by pneumatic cylinders. On the Front End Loader, it is the scoop that is the star attraction. While two pneumatic cylinders raise and lower the arms of the scoop, a single cylinder mounted near the apex of the arms tips and retrieves the scoop itself. These three cylinders in turn are operated by the pump attached near the rear of the vehicle, assisted by the addition of an air tank. The addition of this air tank to all new pneumatic models was a breakthrough. All actions of the arm and scoop have been made both smooth and swift (both functions being able to be performed a couple of times before having to refuel). It was really amazing to see how rapidly all the functions were performed, and the air-pressure packs quite a punch. However, after about two repetitions of both functions the air tank quickly ran out of juice but this is only a minor criticism as the pump works efficiently without the aid of the air tank.
Other features on the model include steering via the "flashing light" on top of the roof (a nifty little innovation brought about in 1988), the V-6 engine, and the air-filled tires which act as simple shock absorbers when filling the air tank. New features, apart from the air tank, are the pretty blue colored pneumatic hoses. It's good to see more color being added to the models. The alternate model is a mobile crane truck. On first appearance, it looks kind of dorky and the alternate models are never as good as the main showpiece, but the smooth action of the cylinders coupled with the new air tank makes this model pretty fun to play with. The inclusion of the engine is nice but I would have liked to have seen the addition of the second cylinder contribute toward a more complex crane jib. It's nothing to write home about but for the sake of curiosity it's well worth the build.Fully working tank inspired by pc game Starcraft II. -siege mode / driving mode Length 600mm weight approximately 4kg.
BigJoe _I think that is your video?!? And I think you have enough skills to build an auto-reloading gun. So please do not use these boring LEGO� cannons. 10 out of 5! antti hakala Quoting ariklego ...This is not however appropriate content to cuusoo since it's a war / killing machine :) antti hakala Quoting Archon Caledonia antti hakala Quoting Peter Mowry Wow this is just amazing!!! A true work of art and thank you for having someone stand next to it because I would not have realized how huge your Moc was. The detail is just wow, true to one of my favorite Pc games!!! If you can please put this on Cuusoo. A Lego site to get your own creations as sets. And I really hope I see your Siege Tank there as well. All the best on your future builds. This tank however is not acceptable to Cuusoo since it's a war machine. Need to keep that in mind in the next build which I haven't decided yet what it'll be :) I think Lego would have to purchase a right to use Starcraft license.
Overall I think this is not suitable for official set due to high amount of pieces which lead to steep price. Thanks for the tip and comment, cuusoo part done ;D (though not published yet) Peter MowryWow this is just amazing!!! The first campaign is from 2011, via Russia. Ad agency: Leo Burnett, Moscow. Two more ads below. Campaign from 2006, via the USA. How do you say “Imagination” without saying it? Ad agency: Blattner Brunner. Ad agency Ogilvy Malaysia hired some Lego artists to create the posters that play off of the surrounding environment. Two more ads below. This is my favorite (I think). Campaign is from 2010, via Germany. Great idea, casting, sets, and photography. I wish I had done these. Ad agency: Ad agency: Serviceplan, Munich. Two more execution below. Note: While there have been many good Lego ads in recent years, these efforts were singled out because they are Big Ideas — campaigns that could run forever and ever.
