rollermonkey Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) The real-life articulated dump truck has double-axles on the rear half. One of the prototypes did, IIRC. What is the primarily black model between the Dell and Apple monitors? (box against the far wall) Edited September 28, 2014 by rollermonkey Quote
Balrog Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) That is 9395! What is the primarily black model between the Dell and Apple monitors? (box against the far wall) At 0:29? That is 9395! Edited September 28, 2014 by Balrog Quote
N-4K0 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Where is the link to this video everyone's talking about? It confuses me as I can't find it, and it sounds like there's interesting things to see in it. Quote

Paul Boratko Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Do I see light blue gray hubs being used with them? Sure looks like it... It makes sense to use the steering arms on all 4 wheels with the steerng hubs on all 4.. Just got to be a little more advanced with the rear build to stabilize the hubs and leep them in place...

Doc_Brown Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I'm surprised that is how these designers build, on a desk like that. What I mean is most of us have work benches with an organiser or some kind behind like trays for sorting parts out with. I believe that is far more efficient way of building. Or do you think they "cleaned" up for filming??? :tongue: Quote
PhyBuilder Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 They have separate rooms for that, and apart from that they can use a 'shopping cart' to 'shop' in the 'store' to gather all the pieces they want before building. Quote
Jim Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 They have separate rooms for that, and apart from that they can use a 'shopping cart' to 'shop' in the 'store' to gather all the pieces they want before building. And when they are not satisfied with a model.....they trash it (since it's more expensive to take it apart than to use new parts) Quote
PhyBuilder Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 My heart, my heart!! What are you doing to me!!! Quote
anton1678 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 And when they are not satisfied with a model.....they trash it (since it's more expensive to take it apart than to use new parts) Surely there are some people who work as deconstructors and resorters! Quote
afoldad Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 And when they are not satisfied with a model.....they trash it (since it's more expensive to take it apart than to use new parts) By trash it, I hope you mean recycle or donate or something a little friendlier than throwing it in a dumpster. I'm sure there are tons of non-profits or churches or child care centers that would love to be burdened with the task of taking apart a unwanted LEGO prototype. Quote
efferman Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 i have heard they melting them and make black pieces with it Quote

We jumped on them to make more discarded models fit in the container. Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Nope we trashed them. We jumped on them to make more discarded models fit in the container. Such heresy!!! Quote
PROlego Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 You can then send the container here to Spain and I will recycle them. I will pay you 2€ each kilo. That's a lot for used plastic. Quote
JGW3000 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 If true, makes sense from a corporate IP protection standpoint. Most organizations creating objects or hardware worth protecting, regardless of usability, worth, or functionality, will destroy them before they leave their facilities. Unfortunate in this case. I bet they didn't destroy the samples of the 42030 front bucket though... Quote
D3K Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) I suppose it's more profitable for the creative minds to build, rather than to tear apart Taking apart a large Technic set can take some time, more so if you are to sort the parts. Dismantling a MOC contributes very little to the creative process I would imagine, so I suppose them using their time to create, makes up for the loss of materials Edited September 29, 2014 by D3K Quote
Paul Boratko Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 So then these designers don't have leather finger tips like me then..? Interesting... Quote
anton1678 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Another reason to be a garbage collector in the same neighborhood as the lego HQ You don't need to buy pieces when you can get them for free! Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Hmm. Taking apart models CAN take forever, especially the huge 1000+ part models. Edited September 30, 2014 by Maaboo35 Quote
