Polarlicht Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) I wonder why TLG choose black as the wheel color? I think they only had the spy shots as reference which had this design in black, but the configurator has them in silver. I think i will paint them either silver or white (to match the roof) since i hate black wheels Hope Sariels review is this weekend! Edited September 13, 2019 by Coolusername Quote
Gray Gear Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 Its pretty cool the Gearbox is still somewhat visilble, but the rear door mechanism is executed so badly. That small curved slope is held in place by a single stud, and has to keep the entire rear door in place. So a single stud is supposed to keep the trunk shut... 58 minutes ago, sirslayer said: I hear clicking when he was showing the differential on the video!!! I noticed that too... Its a pretty simple gearbox setup, so why? Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 I think I saw the part 22961 in black. Quote
lmdesigner42 Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 It is clear that Milan designed this set, there are multiple similarities to 42069: Front winch with same ratchet design Rear door lock operated by spare wheel/sprocket Extra opening storage compartments on top/side All-wheel drive with at least 2 differentials Suspension with both hard and soft shocks Large, dedicated fender panels 2000+ pieces with no motors or electronics On the other hand, there are plenty of differences, like that lovely gearbox....

The blue pins on the mudguards, are they pin-2L w/axle, or pin-3L? Either way, going to replace them with the black equivalent. Probably replace all of the exposed blue pins with black or MSG equivalents. Mono sodium glutamate? Quote

sirslayer Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 @BrickWild its a fake mini engine!! the pistons are not even connected when the model is on its side or upside down :) Quote

Bartybum Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 What a great review and set. I love the quality of life considerations, like being able to remove the roof rack and the HOG knob, and tilting the seats forward to view the gearbox. Really well done Quote

nicjasno Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 So sad to see, that this thing uses the old hubs with the small cv joints, totally destroying any hopes of actiual steering angles. Quote
Polarlicht Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Hmm, In the video the steering angle looks bigger than before on other 4wd vehicles.... But its good to have the "90" 3 door version with the shorter wheelbase for better turning radius. Edited September 14, 2019 by Coolusername Quote

That's a very specific thing to say, he could also have said something like olive green is authentic to Landrover or something else about the color itself. Let's hope it is exactly what he says: the first of (many?) more. I personally like the color, gives all new posibilities for (construction? military?) vehicles and even airplanes/helicopters. Would also love to see how it combines with for example red or 'bley'... Quote

That's a very specific thing to say, Even though I think they’ll definitely use it again in future, I disagree that it’s a very specific thing to say. It just means that no sets have used olive green before, nothing more. Edited September 14, 2019 by Bartybum Quote
FilthyFox Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 This set definitely seems to be the one we've been hoping for all this time. It's way cheaper than the Porsche and Bugatti, with even more functions. We finally got optional HOG steering. The only thing we need to see now is if the drive train works properly... Quote

It could be possible theoretically, but I think it would be practically unfeasible. It would drive the price up a lot, and olive green in itself is not a licensed color in other LEGO themes. It also doesn't fit with LEGO's previous color introductions. Even LBG/DBG, which where introduced as part of the Star Wars licence, are not limited to Star Wars alone. And with the volume of Star Wars sales that would have been a possibility. But then again... there is 42039... and 42048/42069... Quote
