Anio Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 As soon i get my hands on instructions i will post my mail so i can send everyone a copy who dont want to pay for them or dont have the money. If my acc get baned ill make a new one. Cheers Reading such a stupid comment bring me the idea that NK and Crowkiller should choose the people who are able to buy the instruction. For example : - the people Crowkiller and NK trust - and the people that the first people trust (dunno if it is understandable). In other words, you could buy the instruction only if you are recommended by someone NK or Crowkiller trust. Well, I guess 4lord is 12 years old. haha. Quote

Anyone planning such a thing should certainly not post anything about it on a public forum. Quote

4lord Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I was not kidding, but since alot of people are getting mad i will not do such a thing... Take care... Gn all :* Quote
Paul Boratko Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) I think what this all comes down to is what is provided back to the Lego Community... Yes, I sold many of my Gallardo instructions that Eric did for my model and I sold over 40 kits(which I really didn't make anything off of) but in turn all of that money went right back to the Lego community both directly and indirectly whether I was sending people parts they needed for free, paying for my site until the year 2014, or perhaps even inspiring a few new builders... In fact I had about 10 people ask if they could have my download for free because they didn't have the money or didn't have a Paypal account and I didn't hesitate to provide them with the Login information... This is no different with Nathanael's new model's instructions... I have been promoting this model for well over a year and finally the instructions are available and I am not asking for a single cent from Nathanael for hosting, promoting, or helping with other issues as I feel that I owe it to him for all of the inspiration that he has provided me over the years, so I don't see what the big issue is with having to shell out a measly $15 for some fantastic well done instructions... I am most certain that Nathanael gaining some monetary compensation will encourage and drive him to continue to produce even more amazing models in the future... I was not kidding, but since alot of people are getting mad i will not do such a thing... Take care... Gn all :* If you want to upload 40MB and e-mail them out, then be my guest... Maybe you can gain some money from it.... Edited August 17, 2011 by Paul Boratko Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) I've got no problem with Nathanael charging for instructions. He has a fantastic moc, and if he wants to sell instructions for it, then I say go for it. With the amount of time it takes to make instructions, he deserves some compensation.

Sometimes, when I don't want to pay for something.......I just simply don't buy it I have downloaded the instructions btw and they are of great quality. Hope that the "B-model" will also be available. Edited August 18, 2011 by Gekke Ted Quote

Sometimes, when I don't want to pay for something.......I just simply don't buy it I have downloaded the instructions btw and they are of great quality. Hope that the "B-model" will also be available. Allright, now for something else. I'm thinking about buying the instructions ($15 is dirt cheap if you ask me) but I really need which sets I need to build this awesome model. I am willing to cannibalize the 8070, 8048, 8049, 8262, 8264, 8265, 8292, 8294, 8295 and even the 8297 for it (I need more space anyway) but I really need to make sure I then have all the parts in the right color (preferably). Is there any way to check this? Or does anyone know a way to figure this out so I can do that myself? I would really like something like "you need sets 8070, 8294 and 8297 for this model). Anyone?

4lord Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Many people dont have the money or a way to pay for these instructions, if you are that generous to share them (not here ;)) with that people than you are a nice lad. I am glad that i started a small fire here ;) I hate when some people dont have opportunity to get those instructions and have to stare and wonder... Quote
Jim Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I hate when some people dont have opportunity to get those instructions and have to stare and wonder... Me too! I will call Ferrari right away. Let's see if they share our feeling (pun intended) Quote
Arfman Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Me too! I will call Ferrari right away. Let's see if they share our feeling (pun intended) Please, don't feed the troll. Anyone got an idea of the sets needed? $15 is no problem, but I want to know in advance if I need $50 in additional BL orders. Quote

Anyone got an idea of the sets needed? $15 is no problem, but I want to know in advance if I need $50 in additional BL orders. Sorry about that! I am not really sure which extra parts you need. Starting with the 8070 supercar seems like a nice start. I have posted the part list which was publiced on TB, so can take a look at what you need. I assume I can link to this part list, right?! Besides the wheels it seems that having a 8070 supercar and a moderate collection of other sets/parts will suffice. Maybe the 8070 is not even necessary if you have some other red sets. Having a Ferrari Enzo and/or 599 would help a lot. Edited August 18, 2011 by Gekke Ted Quote

technicmad Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Nice site! Thanks for the link Hi, FYI this is my site and I was mere days away from announcing it myself Also I am about to upload some changes which allow user signon (optional) where you can save your set lists instead of having to enter them all the time. Any suggestions are welcome! Quote

Any suggestions are welcome! Exactly my thoughts when I used it. That would be great. And the possibility to enter more than ten sets, but maybe you already implemented this. Just keep up the good work and you will have a great site. I love it already!! Edited August 18, 2011 by Gekke Ted Quote

Ahh shucks Yes, unlimited sets when you sign in. Quote
Jim Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Ahh shucks Yes, unlimited sets when you sign in. Awesome!! Uploading a part list (Brickstore or some other format) to see whether you can build it would be nice too! (haven't fully tried the site, so maybe it's already in it) Quote

(haven't fully tried the site, so maybe it's already in it) It can import from Brickset (haven't uploaded that change yet). Haven't looked at Brickstore yet, but will do. Quote
Jim Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) O my, I really love your site! It looks nice, works great, stats are nice, etc. I am a software engineer myself, so I know what it takes to build a site like this. Well done! What I am always interested in is my own part list/part stats (i.e. Which parts do I have). Based on my sets and maybe additional Bricklink orders. Adding seperate parts would be great. Don't get me started on ideas It can import from Brickset (haven't uploaded that change yet). Haven't looked at Brickstore yet, but will do. I am not really sure which program is commonly used for generating part lists for MOCs, but that format should be importable. These lists could be checked whether you can build it, or such a list might be added as loose parts to your collection. I can imagine your current datamodel doesn't support adding seperate parts to users, but it would be nice. Maybe we should start a new topic, or the moderator can move our conversation to a new topic. Edited August 18, 2011 by Gekke Ted Quote
