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.

Thank you:).

When will the reviews of the technic sets be out?

[AVCampos]

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

At a guess, within the next week or so.

The completed model in stud io file is below.

Spent some time building it before seeing the thread - I was off only on the 5x3 L alternating beam.
48 out of 52 were visible/logical. The alternating beams are still new to me.

Nice work, I finally got this and did a mini review - https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2025/05/mini-review-lego-technic-30710-mini.html

Well, i did find them before. And they are useless, because of no names. So this will turn into speculation quickly.

Here is the newest magazine set:). 

Apparently with same steering as the 42164

I can't see well but 32056 3x3 ㄴ shape thin beam on red is rare(last release is 2021, 77 in 21 sets)

However, as the german description indicates, the steering works (by tilting) on both axles.

Those parts are orange or reddish orange (seen on YouTube), so even rarer.

[R0Sch]

It's definitely reddish orange because the double pin hole connector 32291 is not available in orange. Here's my reverse engineering for the upcoming magazine gift. I assumed the left side holds a different tool. It's a cute little rover and I like that the color scheme for the new space subtheme has been kept at this scale too.

[gyenesvi]

@R0Sch I believe this piece  cannot accept a bar in its pin (at least other colors cannot).

[NV Lego technic]

Yes, that is right.

Sorry for my illegal building technique. I'll take myself to jail now.

Not illegal- physically impossible! Off the physics jail with you!

I'd guess the tools are in more of the bar-clips like the dish uses, in the red-orange L-piece's axle hole.  Also it looks like there's a black pin in the top middle part of the L-piece.  Which I'd guess is a pin-axle-axle. Possibly used for stability in some way, since using bar-clips means the top and bottom layers of the body aren't well connected.

 

Although trying it IRL, the bar-clip inserts far enough to get maybe a 1/2 plate into the axle end of the 2x4 beam.  I can't tell if that's a good enough connection for Lego.

I guess from 'official reviewers' (who must keep embargo dates) about 1 week/10 days before release, from 'non-official reviewers' next weekend/by 15th July.

[Auroralampinen]

Lego revealed today the new transformers set. And interestingly the regulations have changed, because the box has now GIANT warnings about batteries. Hopefully 42214 and 42215 won't get these because it ruins the box:/.
