It's pretty accurate for the size. This, conversely, isn't immediately recognizable. It kinda resembles a Volvo L50. Quote

If they're wanting you to look at the digital one, why buy the physical one? Also I'm really mad about pull-back. I would have loved to see these models with engines and steering Expand The "appeal" of augmented reality is the intersection of digital graphics and physical objects/spaces. Obviously like any new "gimmick" it's not going to be for everyone, but releasing a digital only model and expecting that to perform the same function is vastly missing the point. Quote

This, conversely, isn't immediately recognizable. It kinda resembles a Volvo L50. Expand Fully agreed - the Xerion has enough parts count that it looks neat, tidy and recognisable, *and* has two or three functions. This looks...well, I don't like being harsh, especially on mini-models where you're heavily limited by parts. But this loader is a right mess - I didn't realise was Volvo until I saw the logo on the packet, and I'm somewhat surprised Volvo let their name be put on it. The cab is full of worm gear! On the other hand I know that as a 7+ year-old I would definitely have asked to buy it, so here's hoping it'll sell well and get more people into Technic. Quote

Expand If you look at it without much attention, it is actually very recognizable as a Volvo loader. Yellow with black arm and bucket, black front part of the cab, green engine and orange ladder. So I appreciate the task to add as more distinctive elements as possible, not only the Volvo sticker. Quote

Still waiting for it to be released here, looks like it never will. Edited December 3, 2021 by TechnicRCRacer Removed image Quote
paul_delahaye Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 Another polybag, great news. There is hope that Lego Technic magazine might be a regular publication as well if they are making more polybags. It's possible this might be one of the best sets of 2022 so far Quote
Jundis Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 So the formula E and the Mustang are pullbacks, too... the only sets with gears and functions are the polybag and the small bike with fake engine? And the most promising set (42136) is delayed? chancelled? forgotten? :-/ The 42130 will be a pass for me for this price. Quote
Timorzelorzworz Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 Looks like we are finally getting half pin with knob with friction. Color-coded in red. They must be with friction, otherwise the "teeths" would rotate. Quote

Expand I'd expect the pullbacks to have at least one gear for the launch mechanism's ratchet, but your point still stands. Quote

So far I see only red 3x7 bent liftarm which "holds" someting and should be risen by pressing the lever at the opposite side. Does it have some, maybe 1L-width wheel with a tire which rubs this lever and can't spin? Quote

Should I take this to mean Jim had a review copy in hand? Quote

Expand My guess, it is has a liftarm on the axle that normally spins around, but gets caught on the lever when it's in the correct position. Quote

Expand Yeah, that's entirely possible, and while it lacks the precision of a gear it's probably more reliable. There are still gears though, just inside the pullback motors! Quote

anyUser Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 I wonder if you can build a (technic) set where each part used has a diffenrent colour. I already failed on 30465: Quote

IMHO it is best way to get yellow thin 1 x 5 liftarms and axle and pin connectors hub with 2 axles (pitty that it is still in dark bluish gray and not in yellow) Quote

I already failed on 30465: Expand Interesting challenge! I kind of want to try in Stud.io. Could you clarify the "rules," though? Does every single part need a unique color, such that a 100-piece set would need 100 different colors, or does just every different mold have to have a unique color, so that all doubles of a given part can be the same color?
