As for the other 2, it seems like you've saved som of the best sets for last... the very last Futuron set I picked up was Crater Crawler and I shipped that across the Atlantic from Austria... I practically doubled the cost of that one. I got really lucky on Lunar MPV vehicle as I believe I pulled it for 10 dollars, while Astro Dart likely clocked in at 14.

If I wasn't still buying Old Space sets it would be supremely compelling to grab a copy. I tend to use recolors as building periods to justify to myself that having the Lego is good and still worthwhile after long stretches of not using it, it is kinda nice to build a known design on a bit of autopilot, and I've been able to emotionally switch over to MOCing from there once I get everything out and opened up for a bit of quick building shifting into massive undertakings I've actually been contemplating a simple color swap for a Classic Space set all day. but the highlight piece of the swap is attached to something right now and I don't want to break it... Today I wish I could have an infinite number of infinite pieces stored in infinite space so I could just build and never disassemble anything... thanks for commenting on my blog, I appreciate it.The Cure-all Pillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586643875845512866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755549001846118476.post-5779599185626337602020-11-23T05:09:02.435-08:002020-11-23T05:09:02.435-08:00Re: the motor...

I was expressing the opinion of a toy collector rather than a kid... kid me has no battery... Let's go train... push push push. Grown up me looks at metal gear and plastic teeth... thinks about all the remote control cars I broke as a kid... looks at part replacement prices, looks at wallet balance... it'd be real bad if these parts break. It's a cautious opinion, but it's not based on experience, feel free to ignore my conjecture if it doesn't suit your play style.<br /><br /><br />Re: the Rotating base, Thanks for the tip on the hinge, <br /><br />I've had several of those that have gotten finicky, that seems like an obvious culprit to check, I missed it since I haven't built this base in a long time, but from personal experience those pieces can get finicky with age and use, this set probably should have used more than one, but the designers didn't do that, so the one hinge needs to be in good shape and have good grip strength. a few of my hinges pop apart pretty easily due to old age, or just don't clutch studs well, it's under load during transformation, so its grip needs to be pretty secure.

Is there increased potential for damage to the motor and/or track pieces if this is done?<br /><br />I also had a similar issue with the rotating base not moving too smoothly and traced it to the "White Hinge Plate 1 x 4 Swivel Base with Same Color Hinge Plate 1 x 4 Swivel Top (2429 / 2430)" coming apart (it is two pieces) and thus not being properly aligned. This piece is a bit tricky to put on properly since one end is being attached to a floating plate without any solid support beneath or above. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755549001846118476.post-85218736686700577242020-10-11T17:13:44.909-07:002020-10-11T17:13:44.909-07:00In the pamphlet go to step ten, and check the end ...In the pamphlet go to step ten, and check the end of the part #3705 Technic axle 4... it gets pressed onto the axle tip and the two pieces slot into the technic bricks above the steering.
