I put myself back on the notification queue, but who knows if it will be in stock again before Xmas.
I'm finishing up rebuilding my 7470 Space Shuttle. I've got everything done except the telescope; I have one piece to find and I'll have it done.
The only downside is that many of the white pieces are discolored... I may go through and replace them someday.I'm finishing up rebuilding my 7470 Space Shuttle. I've got everything done except the telescope; I have one piece to find and I'll have it done.
That one piece I have to find is a light gray 1x1 cone. Thankfully my pieces are sorted by color, though they're stored in gallon-sized baggies or smaller (except the black pieces, which are in a tote).
Oooh interesting, I'll have to look that up! I'm guessing it wouldn't be recommended on pieces with graphics (my old Scout Troopers or Luke Skywalker minifigs come to mind). Thanks for that tip!I'm finishing up rebuilding my 7470 Space Shuttle. I've got everything done except the telescope; I have one piece to find and I'll have it done.

There are was to basically bleach the white pieces back to, or at least close to, their original color.
Also, sorting Lego pieces by type over color is generally the better solution.

I was just thinking yesterday while digging through a bag that sorting by type would probably be better. I won't have too many pieces leftover once I rebuild all these sets (I've only ever purchased/received sets so far), so I'm waiting until the builds are all complete before investing in any storage beyond what I have right now. I'll mostly need shelves!
For better consistency, they probably needed to put the lime in the coconut.
Careful of the wires in those old Mindstorms 1st-generation spinoff sets. You might need to do a fix like mine if the insulation on the connectors has rotted.
Lol I have bad memories of that roller coaster set. Sooo many pieces you needed to snap sideways. My thumbs were sore for days after building that.It's not Lego, but K'nex is similar enough, right?
I found the 63030 Roller Coaster at a local Goodwill for $10, and I figured... At $10, there should be enough K'nex there that I can buy whatever I still need. And out of 2400 pieces, I'm only 229 pieces short! Now I just need to source the remaining pieces. Also, this thing is ridiculously huge and I have no idea where to keep it.

It was cool as hell though.
The red rods weren't so bad, since I could slide the connector away from the end, but the orange rods had little holders so that the connectors wouldn't slide, and it hurt my hands getting those free.
