Something big with pneumatics is coming!!! Nah, they recolored the cylinder so they can charge more for "new parts". Also making them dbg with black accent so their "dumb customers" don't mix them up with the black linear actuators from the CAT. Quote

Inside it's a colorful mess. And did I mention I hate those simple, way to short outriggers which lift the handler 2mm above the ground and that wobbly turntable with orange cotter pins? Quote
zoo Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 I guess it is only natural to compare it to the 42053 Volvo but that was close to six years ago now. Sure, they could bring that exact set back and it would probably sell quite well. Still, I'd say it's more fun with a new take on it even though it might not be that different. The looks of this isn't all that special maybe but the 42053 looks quite crude in places as well and what I remember it was recieved well back in 2016. Quote
allanp Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Well of course it's an instant purchase for me, likely several! Yes it's too similar to 42053 but I'm a sucker for new (recoloured) pneumatics, it's similarly to a previous set is my only real complaint, and the previous set happened to also be very good! As I haven't bought many newer sets there's also a few new to me parts (really hope there's some 3x19 frames in there). Edited June 2, 2022 by allanp Quote

The previous set was 6 years ago, so I wouldn't blame them for releasing similar set too soon. Quote

Jundis Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 Hmm not quite happy with this one... it seems too skinny because of the undercarriage. I'd hoped for double tire config with the small 49.5 wheels, which could greatly improve the look. Also I had high hopes for the use of the new curved gear racks for stabilizing the turntable. Seems very wobbly in this scale... At least we have now a decent colour for the big pneumatics. Also the mechanism for activating the grabblers look cool. For 70€, this would be a good parts pack, but 100€ it's too much for this. Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 Also, the new DBG claws. Once again the original orange-peel claws get shafted. Quote

I prefer the yellow cylinders because they always highlighted the function. It's always an eye catcher for my young son. Quote
dr_spock Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 It is not quite 42053. The mounting of the top cylinder on the arm is different. It might be fun to add a working claw to 42053. Quote

Maaboo the Witch Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 A comparison shot of this 🐕 next to 42053 would be good. Quote
gvo25 Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 Hello all, I think this set resembles more the 42006 model only with wheels and pneumatic actuators. I'll buy 2 copies for sure (I also bought 2 copies of the 42006, it was a great set for modding), and I allready have some mods in my head. Quote
