this one is a bit cool :http://www.lego.com/eng/create/technic/productPage.aspx?family=technic&productNumber=8285
but not as cool as the original crane truck that everyone should have.

the guy definitelly didnt mean anything bad. he just didnt get the power of trackers, so I definitelly don`t think anything bad about this post.
I`ll just suggest him to load some excellent examples from Renoise and see how it works. I tried everything, from Reason, to Cubase… nothing can be compared to Trackers. I agree that there needs some improvements on displaying waves of the samples somehow in tracker editor [I read some very nice ideas and threads about this], but still it is not problem to me

I very strongly agree with this. We shouldn’t blindly add features unless it’s really difficult or impossible to get the same results with the current tools Renoise offers.
Also, I think Lego was more fun when it had tiny basic blocks, nuts and bolts instead of two huge bricks that are half the complete thing
I agree 100%! I grew up playing with this stuff and I really think it helped me to develop a curious and analytical mind, wondering how things are built, how to make weird little motorised devices with my Lego Technics, etc. I see the average Lego kits available now and it makes me pretty sad. Everything is becoming so lazy these days with the big, stupid pre-made pieces as you’ve pointed out (those Bionicles things really piss me off), which require almost zero effort to put together. The whole fun of Lego is about taking all those hundreds of little pieces and actually turning them into something cool, not just lazily putting a handful of pieces together in a totally pre-defined way. It’s just like some oversized Kinder egg toy now, which have also become very low quality in recent years. When I was a kid you could find cool stuff like little motorized cars inside a Kinder egg. But the last few eggs I’ve bought have been some piece of crap like a Spongebob square pants model which is made from 2 or 3 pieces of pre-painted plastic. You hardly even get any stickers to put on them anymore! It’s a bloody travesty. The new generation of children simply aren’t having their creativity stimulated enough.
Yes!
I used to love Lego too (I actaully won an official Lego competition when I was younger
I was thinking of buying some for old-times sake recently, but as you guys know it’s all complete crap now. Bring back the old Lego Techno
Anyone into those DIY radio controlled cars? I’ve always wanted to build one of those…
excellent
