Anyone from r/SwingDancing going to HavelHop in Potsdam (Germany) next weekend?

Hi,

I've just build the first model (tracker), but I made a stupid mistake: I built the wheelbase with 15-stud beams instead of 13-stud ones.

I managesd to get the rubber bands around (I thought it's supposed to be tight), but realized my mistake when I couldn't fit the wheelbase to the rest of the robot.

Not the rubber bands are severely lengthened and the drive doesn't work anymore.

I'm hoping Lewgo is going to send me replacement parts (I tried to order them with Pick-a-Brick, as well, but they're not available).

Even if Lego helps me out it's going to take a while.

Do you have an idea that might contract the rubber and bring it back into shape?

Hi,

I'm really new into Lego (after building some stuff out of the usual 2x4 etc. bricks as a child) and I got hooked with the wildbirds and the Exo suit set this weekend.

I'd like to get more "boring bricks", so I looked around the classifieds in my town.

There is someone offering 16 kilograms of unsorted Lego in a big box for 110 Euros.

Is that price okay, considering I don't know much more. It's possible he got "better bricks" out before or that there is a lot of hardly usable special pieces, and very small pieces.

So how would you price by weight, in order to have a mostly fair deal, no matter what's actually inside?

A few years ago my grandmother gave me a pocket watch that belonged to my grandfather.

Some days ago I remembered that it hasn't been serviced for some years now. It's still working, although when setting the time it makes a little creaky sound, so I guess I should take it to a watchmaker soon.

I suppose it isn't really something special, but it has sentimental value.

Do you have an idea what model it might be? Or anything else to know about it?

Hi,

we're going to be in Liverpool on April 5th (arriving by train in the morning) till April 6th (leaving extremely early on the 7th).

Now I'm looking for some interesting things to see and do, and some nice, cosy places to eat and enjoy talking to the girl I'm with (so no very loud places). And something fun. Music, dancing, something else entirely?

We're neither very thrifty, nor prepared to spend lots and lots of money. Just some "normal" thing by Liverpool standards.

We'll be staying in Wallasey. I guess we can get to the centre using public transport, from Wallasey Grove Road? Any other tips for getting around town?

Is there maybe anything special happening in town in those days,
