Set #7685-1: Dozer

[Legodac]

Thanks everybody. 

I'm also planning to do more reviews on sets from the late 1990's to the early 2000's, so stay tuned 

I'm always tuned into you pal, I have a review ya'll, it's a set that Lego should have asked my advice how to build, they didn't, and kit #7685 is the worst thing that Lego has ever done, it's a bulldozer that when finished, looks real cool. Don't hope to play with it, this model bites, I wish I could sware!!

It was suggested buy many members, friends (real life aswell), that Lego was trying my idea out, they failed, my design of a bulldozer is 100 times better then Lego's. I'm not bragging, it's the truth.

We all have within us to create something cool, cool enough to be called a Master Builder, would'nt it be cool if Lego actually asked our advice once in a while,

Anyways, their bulldozer bights, but there are some cool new pieces. The Blade is the big fault, it falls apart when you look at it, I'm serious.

For 50 plus bucks, don't buy it, however, I came up with the dozer first, and a better one at that, so I may buy a few more...anyways, here's a few pics...

Thanks, legodac.

I may of came on a little strong there, afterall, it's lego, we can always fix it

Thanks for the review, legodac. Like you said, I'm sure a simple modification to the blade would make it less likely to fall off. 

It's not only design that is the problem here, I've found now and then, not very often, a set where the pieces seem to fit a little looser then normal. The bulldozer fit into that not a great fit category.

Technically that's unavoidable in certain cases, like for instance some of the old pins on the older Bionicle sets were looser at times(Though I have doubts about it fully being from the set itself, since it's had it's fair amount of usages), but they still worked, though it is annoying when something falls out that's not supposed to at a very inconvenient time.

Define "unavoidable" buddy, because I can't agree, I know how injection molding machines work, I"ve wired a few for Skil Tools

Well, for one, maybe some colours are not as 'stable' as others, like purple compared to black or so, and it doesn't allow as tight a fit. The old Grey pins(the ones with part of a black pin on one end, and part of one of those new red pins on the other... The kind that are now blue, except the smallest of that kind) were pretty loose, even when I first got them IIRC.
