Aventador2004 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 @Jim and @Milan, Hopefully not too off topic of technic, After the 42083 Bugatti is revealed, will the Porsche background be replaced? Maybe you could have a vote on which set could maybe put there, get people in on it. Just had a thought and you may approve. And maybe other members may chime their opinions? Quote
Bublehead Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 My vote is leave the Porsche, almost everyone recognizes it. Quote
Omikron Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Leave the background, it is good enough as is. Why should chiron be there anyway? Why not the terrain crane for example? Quote

zux Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Do we really need to update it this often? The old one was based on some much older model and was good enough, that nobody was bothering until the last big forum upgrade. New backgrounds (like the one on main page of EB forums) distracts quite a lot. So when you come to Technic part of forums and you see familiar background you feel like home . Quote
Omikron Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) No. I said it as a reference because the Porsche is kinda outdated, and I think there are some better sets out now. Why should the picture be changed in the first place? New sets are released every year and being "better" is very subjective. Some people may consider studded sets to be better, some people may think their original creations are better than official sets etc. Porsche was released in the summer of 2016. It's just 2 years. Outdated is also subjective. P.S. are you the one who buys new iPhone each year? Edited May 16, 2018 by Omikron Quote
Erik Leppen Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 While we're on the topic of the header background - I don't care whether it stays or is changed to another set (I say, why bother), but the wheel height measurement is a factor 10 off. It says 81.6, which should probably be 8.16, given the other measurements. Quote

aminnich Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 If you want to change it to the Chiron for the late 2018 models, then why not change it to the MACK truck for the early 2018 models.... Quote
Johnny1360 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Whoops sorry, I belong in a whole different thread. Edited May 17, 2018 by Johnny1360 Quote
brickless_kiwi Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Well why not get Jim to run a annual design Competition for the background and bragging rights Quote

Bublehead Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 looks like prime advertising space... maybe get Buwizz or SBrick to buy the space? (tongue placed firmly in cheek) Quote

Jim Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 I really like this background, so I don't see any reason to change it Quote
Aventador2004 Posted May 17, 2018 Author Posted May 17, 2018 Okay, feel free to close the topic Jim. Quote
