Does anyone know if the technic airplane thingy is Orange and White with Dark turquoise or Orange and White with Medium Azure? 

Expand  

I used dark azure in my attempt. I think that greenish hue is missing with respect to catalog pictures:

mistook dark for medium azure

technic 1x7 alternating hole beam in Black

Expand  

What is this part?

[Jurss]

Maybe that one on buggy. There is possibility, that there is used beat, which have holes in different directions, like on some frame side.

But in my reverse enginnering it is 15L. not 7L.

[Jurss]

Yes, maybe, there was just guess, that there could be something like that.

[astyanax]

I'm all in favor of beams with alternating holes, but somehow I feel they should have an even length, like 4L, 6L, 8L, ...

[SNIPE]

I put 7L due to what I can see of it so now, the info in my list is not guarenteed to be fully accurate yet but will get updated when more info comes out.

edit: now varified to be 15L not 7L, also some other minor changes added to the parts/recolors list on previous page

New technic part in 41925 DOTS set. It is at the top of the 3rd image in white. Appears to be completely useless as the same part can be made with two 1x2 thin beams and a bushing.

[Jurss]

I won't say so, as this will hold strongly on some beam end etc.

There is a gold 56908 wheel in this set, last seen in the 2006 Batmobile (though with 3 pin holes vs 6).

New connectors are always nice. I'm sure this one will be useful too, for example it appears that you can put it between two axle pins and then attach something with 0,5L offset in the middle. 0,5L offsets are currently pretty hard to make so any new part allowing them are welcome.

Good luck for locking the box if you use two 1x2 thin beams and a bushing.

And it looks like there is also gold 15038 (medium wheel 56 x 34) in this set

If you use  2 X thin 2L beams & a bush you longer have the middle axle hole, the new part allows 1/2 L spacing ideal for aligning gears..

The LEGO Technic Half Beam Cam (6575) has the same axle hole spacings as this new part has.

I wasn’t entirely sure about that, but it does look like it. The smaller one is definitely in this set, if the bigger one is included too that’s a huge plus.

Edit: no, it’s the smaller one. The one in the back is the “Creator” size wheel.

There's no middle axle hole :

This part is still very useful because unlike using say two thin 2L beams and a 1x1 beam or bush, this is stronger and can be used as a 2L axle joiner. This part would also make a super useful crank shafs because the current specialised crankshaft parts while small allow the axle to slip out or bend slightly

But main question is - in what technic set it will be used? What is there so specific? Don't think, that this was made just for Dots.

Who cares if it will be used in a Technic set or not? Just get them from Bricklink or B&P when they become available.

For the record, I believe we will see it in Technic sets too, at least for me it appears to be far too useful to ignore by Technic designers, and TLG likes to reuse parts if possible.

Very narrow minded view you have there. Jurss seem to care, and I'm sure there are lots of others. I for one do not buy any second hand parts and I have bad experiences buying directly from LEGO using pick a brick as well.

FYI, you can also buy new (=unused) parts in Bricklink.
