2025 Technic Sets Discussion

There is actually a bit more to this than you are trying to suggest, maybe you could think about the possible circumstances before you call someone a liar.

When we accept review offers, we have the set numbers listed, but when the packages are shipped, there is no information about the actual contents of each package, at least if you're in Europe. There are other regions of the world where additional shipping documents are required which might reveal the set numbers inside. So if you have multiple "active" review offers that have not been shipped, you won't know exactly which sets are in the package. You can of course make guesses based on the size of the box and the weight, but you won't know for sure.

I was expecting the June Technic sets and two batches of City sets for this week, and received a delivery with one box, then another with two boxes. To my surprise, the first delivery contained half of the City sets, the second delivery contained the Technic sets and the second batch of City sets. I don't make unboxing videos like this, but I could have been really surprised at the first box.

Since 2012 when I joined the program, I can't remember any offer that was split into 2 without warning, with half of the sets one day, and the other half of the sets like 3 days later.

The only missing set I can recall is the 42113 drama.

I can't remember a time I have been mislead by a package. With the email offer, the DHL notification including weight, the tracking number and finally the shape of the package when I see it, it has been literaly impossible to me not to know what was inside the package before opening it.

Maybe I have X-ray eyes. :p

And again, all I can say is that you shouldn't make assumptions and accusations based only on your own experiences when you don't know how things works with other people. Maybe others receive lot more offers than you, or similar sized sets from different themes, etc. I have received many generic sized packages, including 1-2 sets that could have been any of the previous offers. Sometimes the sets come in the order of the offers, but sometimes they don't, I was surprised a couple of times in the past.

I have question, can you review the lego 60466 first. Im really curious about that model, because its the first city set with piston engine:). 

A few other sets have an earlier embargo, but from that batch I will begin with the bulldozer for sure.

When will the reviews of the technic sets be out?

If I'm not mistaken, the embargo dates are also under embargo.

At a guess, within the next week or so.
