2025 Technic Sets Discussion
Anio replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Since 2012 when I joined the program, I can't remember any offer that was split into 2 without warning, with half of the sets one day, and the other half of the sets like 3 days later. The only missing set I can recall is the 42113 drama. I can't remember a time I have been mislead by a package. With the email offer, the DHL notification including weight, the tracking number and finally the shape of the package when I see it, it has been literaly impossible to me not to know what was inside the package before opening it. Maybe I have X-ray eyes. :p -
2025 Technic Sets Discussion
Anio replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
"I don't know what is inside". Typical instagram liar who try to create some fake surprise to its audience. When we receive a package, we know exactly what is inside as approx 3 weeks before we always get an email saying something like "We are going to ship to you sets #ref, #ref and #ref for review". We generally have no visual when we accept the review offer. But for non exclusive sets, the official visuals are generally revealed between the acceptance of the review and the delivery of the package. So when we open the package, we know exactly what products are in the package, and what they look like. When it comes to exclusive sets (Icons, or big Technic supercar, for example), it may happen that we discover the visual of the product by opening the package. But still, we are fully informed what ref is in the package. -
Very nice and clever build. I love it. I would be interested in seeing more of the techniques you used. The dark green circle in the middle, the internal structure of the building, or the various "cells" on the facades for example.

[MOC] BMW 1250GS
Anio replied to steph77's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
And AFAIK, the Designer of 42063 is Lars Thygesen. :) Nice work though. Very compact. -
Lego went for playability with 10174. That's quite a breaking news ! @_@ Have a good day, Sir. :)

One of the main challenge of such a vehicle is to have the model well balanced. The building techniques of the whole model are supposed to take into account the weight of the various elements and how the are supported. Instead, you come up with a huge shortcut : a transparent support and forest support to "glue" the model on the ground. This is a kinda convenient in my eye. I reall hope the (rumored) UCS AT-ST coming in 2025 will have a proper balance. As 10174 had back in 2006.

Very nice ! It looks simple, accurate, with good work on the details and the textures. I am not a big fan of the ship, but I like your MOC. edit : if I may : I wouldn't have used curved bricks on the black stands. It just doesn't feel starwarsy. Star Wars is sharp in general. I prefer something more classic, with regular bricks, and sometimes a couple of DBG plates.

Good to know you are still creating Lego stuff. :p I am glad my model could give you some inspiration. I do not agree with your statement about dark red though. Accuracy is one thing. But when the choice of a color, or a part, or a shape, is not quite clear according to various sources, the best choice is often the one that looks better. It is a simple as that. Hence dark red.

I guess you are right. I was just surprised to see that on the frontpage. No big deal anyway. The minifig looks nice. :)

Eurobricks is still a Lego forum, right ?

42172 - McLaren P1
Anio replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It is not. You can see on Lego picture that the photo is taken a bit from the back. I mean, have a look at the Bright Light Orange 3x5 liftarm near the wheel arch. -

I meant on the Lego set. Sorry for the confusion.
