Then why are you not entering contests, by threatening people with ban for not giving you their vote..

Sorry if this sou n political, @Jim for President 2021!

[Ngoc Nguyen]

He's already the President of the United Eurobricks of Technic lol, appointed for life or something . 

And according to Milan, you should not use Eurobricks to express your political views @Aventador2004

True, but we should take this to the pub.

It's just as well everybody is united in support for President @Jim of the UET and his deputies  ! 
Until there's a rebellion that is...... Not that I'm planning one.  Who would need one?

And how would anyone even go about suing President @Jim for extending the voting deadline of the Wacky Wheels contest? Who could be the judge?

[doug72]

Re Wacky Wheels contest:

The contest rules clearly state:-

• The contest might be closed later than the deadline. Don't complain about this not being fair.

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Since no one can sue Jim and no judge can try him Jim might as well be the Monarch of UET in addition to being the President lol. You know, like the Monarch of the UK. The criminal court there is named "Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunal Services", so it wouldn't make sense for The Queen's Court to try The Queen.

Or maybe he can be The Supreme Leader even. Like that in North Korea haha.

You know that man makes money 
To buy from other man...

I noticed there hasn't been much talk here, I guess lego is control of your lives.

I have a few random questions to ask: most lego related.

• How much does lego control your life?
• do you want a White Christmas this year?
• Are there going to be lego boxes under the tree?
• Do you do anything special with legos during Christmas?
• And last, what is your favorite color of technic?

• A lot when writing reviews. Other than that....not so much.
• I always like a white christmas, but we hardly get any. We had snow last week. That's as good as it gets.
• Probably not, but there's always a chance.
• Little time for LEGO during Christmas. Maybe I will open a set and do some casual building. Won't be Technic though. Saturn V maybe.
• Probably Dark Bluish Grey, but I just love grey in general. Oh and Dark Azure nowadays hehe (just kidding).

MayI add color scheme instead of just color?

• I love Orange, White and DBG

[Boulderer]

@Aventador2004 Firstly, aren't you under age to be in the pub? 

In answer to your questions: 

• How much does lego control your life?

             Not very much at all.

• do you want a White Christmas this year?

             Love the snow but, its unlikely to happen.

• Are there going to be lego boxes under the tree?

             Most likely there will be one or two.  Though probably little for me.

• Do you do anything special with legos during Christmas?

             We build a Christmas scene based around the seasonal sets, with a quirky twist which varies year to year.  This year is a Hawaii theme ... don't ask! 

• And last, what is your favorite color of technic?

             I have no real favourite.  I do dislike that there is so much yellow

Used to be much yellow is the right phrase here  

2017 and 2018 almost no yellow. Even 2016 has little yellow. 2015 either. Yellow dates back to 2014

• Not too much. I generally use it to unwind from university/job stress, though that's mostly building sets. Not enough space for building at my current apartment.
• Yup. I love snow.
• Doubtful, since my family likely won't get me any LEGO.
• Not really, I might build a set, either Volvo EW160 or CLAAS.
• Uhhhh, that's hard... I like yellow or red for heavy machinery.

Absolutely, with how interesting those look.

I do too, but like @Jim, I got about one day of 3-5 cm of snow.

- Since I found one of my EV3 remote controllers in pieces under my son's bed (at least I think its that, and only one, hard to tell) there is no more new LEGO in our house  until everything is organized and reassembled.

- White Christmas - snow has melted, we are looking at a wet rainy Christmas!

- No more LEGO, see above.  And I have 42025 and 42009 still in boxes and not going to be opened any time soon as a consequence.

- Still managed to find enough parts to have a LEGO train around the tree, but its not exactly holiday themed due to missing bricks

- Favorite color - black!

Oh no, I feel bad for you, those are expensive!

Edited December 20, 2017 by Aventador2004

Hmm. Let's see:

• 'Control' I'm not sure of, but it does feature quite heavily. I try not to let it overpower everything else.
• It would be nice... my home in England had proper snow last week. Where was I? South Wales, seemingly the only place in Britain without any. Grr! By the time I got back it had nearly all gone, and certainly has now. It's going to be a warm, wet Christmas as usual, unfortunately.
• No. As much as I would love some, everybody seems to be of the impression I have 'too much', so I don't even bother to ask for it nowadays.
• Last year and this I've put a LEGO train track around the tree, with a short custom train with lights etc. This year I got more track specifically to make the loop bigger!
• Well, seeing as nearly all of mine is yellow, black or LBG, I actually quite enjoy white, especially for construction equipment. But mainly yellow, of course.

And here's another few questions to consider:

• What is your favourite theme outside technic? I know a lot of people here don't really have one, but if you do what is it?
• What do you think the best year of technic sets was?

For the 1st question, mine would be city, especially the trains sub-section. I tend to link both worlds together to create fully functioning, yet city-styled, models.
Secondly, I think 2013; I quite like all the yellow sets that year. Despite what people say about there being too much of it in general, yellow attracted my interest when I was younger, and still does today.

Yes, but I can still control the EV3 brick with my smartphone, which my son doesn't have  (so far the bricks appear to be intact and undamaged from rampant curiosity).

What do you think the best year of technic sets was?

1: you might be suprised: star wars. I own a 9493 x wing, a 7778 millennium falcon, and hopefully will have a 75174 soon.  Btw, I have seen all 8 star wars episodes (I saw last jedi yesterday, great movie.)

2 I think 2011 to 2014 i own five sets of those years.
