R0Sch Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Maybe someone has a better idea how the links are connected. I am missing 2 pieces and that 4-4 beam is not aligning properly, so something must be wrong. Quote
Timewhatistime Posted April 25 Posted April 25 (edited) Hm, I cannot believe that there is a 4-4 angled beam in this 65-parts-TLG-flagship of the year 2025. If it were, the red perpendicular connector could not point exactly upwards because its axle hole were connected to the beam's axle hole via a black 2L axle (or a black 3L axle pin) - set aside the geometrical issue shown in your digital image. I'd propose another black quarter ellipse (2x3 or maybe 2x5). Edited April 26 by Timewhatistime Quote
Stereo Posted April 25 Posted April 25 (edited) It shouldn't be an axle hole in the black part, the red connector is the control for the second section of the arm, so it has to be able to rotate (it goes through to the other end of that yellow axle-pin-axle, so it's a 4L black axle in line with the blue axle-pin). Having two remote functions is pretty good for a tiny set. All that to say the 2x3 quarter ellipse makes most sense to me. I don't know what the tan pin on the far rear corner attaches to, though.

R0Sch Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Thanks for the help @Timewhatistime and @Stereo. I believe it's done like this (have 65 pieces now). The silhouette is matching the tiny image in the upper right with the designer. Sorry that I cannot post the Studio file (due to Brickshelf still being offline), but here's the part list: Quote

Tbricks Posted May 1 Posted May 1 (edited) Lego 42215 Volvo excavator image! In my opinion the excavator looks a bit blocky and odd but I need to see all angles… I do see that the excavator has a functional quick hitch for the bucket though - other attachments maybe? https://www.instagram.com/p/DJF1HjtKjIv/?igsh=MXFqNG1sdWtmdjVxaQ== Edited May 1 by Tbricks Quote
Tbricks Posted May 1 Posted May 1 It looks like the Volvo excavator isn’t remote controlled. It uses a gearbox and motors much like the powered up 42006 excavator https://www.jb-spielwaren.de/lego-42215-volvo-ec500-hybrid-bagger/a-42215/ Quote
Jockos Posted May 1 Posted May 1 (edited) I can't believe TLG charges 400 € for it WITHOUT C+!!!!! And still it's just ~2500 pcs. What are they doing with the prices across themes?!! Edited May 1 by Jockos Quote

I wonder if they originally wanted to do RC... Quote
NV Lego technic Posted May 1 Posted May 1 The River has track pads in dark azure, I think, which are probably new. The bronco looks amazing so far, and I love the tires. The Ferrari would like ok great if the headlights weren't dull gray, makes it look cheap IMO. Quote
Jundis Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Oh man here we go! This is actually my favorite 2nd half in years. - worthy flagship (42215) - nice middle construction set (42209) - wacky space set (42211) Even the cars are nice and nearly each fit a differnet category: - small and forgettable (42208, 42212) - small and really cool (42213) - bigger and functional (42210) - bigger and RC (42214) What a find astonoshing is the effort to hide as many blue pins as possible. Compare the 42213 Ford Bronco with the 42122 Jeep Wrangler. It really seems like we are worlds appart here. In all honesty, very well done and go on in this path, Lego! Quote
Tbricks Posted May 1 Posted May 1 42215 comes with a breaker attachment https://www.jb-spielwaren.de/lego-42215-volvo-ec500-hybrid-bagger/a-42215/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR7lOPNgOvsvZ8A1PzBCRyx4qmS80MYTBC7BWzVXhLmMNJLPBTJnHBBcXJXe6g_aem_f3uDbGzwzPRAsq0UPs6OOA#mz-expanded-view-1631042903005 Quote

What are they doing with the prices across themes?!! Making it seem more premium... by increasing the price?? That's the first thing that comes to mind for me. I won't be buying it, that's for sure.

I wonder if they originally wanted to do RC... The electric wheel loader and that wacky rover are really tiny for 100$ too, seems technic got another 20-25% price increase across the board. It's getting quite hard to justify buying when the price i'd be willing to pay is nearly 50% off! Edited May 1 by Danke Quote
Cardboy Posted May 1 Posted May 1 The all now on the official Lego store as well now. Can some one clarify is the Bronco standard red as it seems a bit darker than the Ferrari FXX or is that the black parts fooling my eyes? Quote
Lim CL Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Oh Man!!.....Means this year no Pneumatic set!!! I was expecting EC500 or L210 got Pneumatic functions Quote
