Ngoc Nguyen Posted February 27 Author Posted February 27 Finally there will be a proper nonprinted blue mudguard. Quote

Maaboo the Witch Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Given that we now know the EC500 is the 18+ set for this year (for strong language, I'm guessing), I wonder if TLG are going all out and doing the High Reach model. EDIT: Nope, it'll be this. Edited February 27 by Maaboo the Witch Quote
Jundis Posted February 27 Posted February 27 I'd pay good money just to sit in the brainstorming-meeting which is held between the designers and CEOs of Lego, when they decide for the new models. Designers: "Hey there are cool excavators from Volvo, can we do those?" CEOs/Managers: "You mean there are multiple excavators...? Just like multiple cars...?" Designers: "Well sure, but I think one excavator in a years line-up is sufficient..." CEOs/Mangers: "Very good! We make 2 exvatacors this year! Both from Volvo!" Designers: "Really...? Whatever, at least anything else but cars...." Quote

pleegwat Posted February 27 Posted February 27 If we're ever to get a real hydraulic set an 18+ Volvo model would be where they introduce it. That's probably too much to hope, but I don't see Volvo going for the "Looks good on a living room shelf" kind of 18+ set. Quote

He meant that the small blue ones that were previously only available in printed version will now be available in a plain version. Quote
Stereo Posted February 27 Posted February 27 That assumes it's uses bricks that are blue, not dark azure. I hope it's plain blue as well but we will see. Quote

Dzmitry Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Could you please suggest parts packs from 2022-2025? I love building various vehicles and special machinery in LEGO Technic, but my budget for LEGO is limited, so I often hesitate about what to buy. Right now, I think the best value-for-money parts pack is 42181. Quote

R0Sch Posted February 27 Posted February 27 @Ngoc Nguyen 42211's full name is "Lunar Outpost Moon Rover Space Vehicle". Now that's a mouthful. :)) Also, 42214 is missing "Car" and 42215 missing "Excavator" at the end of their name. Quote

I was hoping for a generic / fantasy space rover to join the ones we had last year, but there's actually a company called Lunar Outpost and they have this vehicle. I guess we'll see the return of the Apollo LRV wheels. Quote

Auroralampinen Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) But its weird why 42214 is lamborghini and 42215 is volvo because 42114 was volvo hauler and 42115 was lamborghini so why not keep numbers consistent Edited February 28 by Auroralampinen Quote

Civilian variants of the Chinook are real and they've been used for decades in oil and gas work. A civilian variant of the Osprey was only hypothetical. I don't get what the problem with the Osprey was. They already had an "Osprey" in 8082: %7BfileStore.core_Attachment%7Dmonthly_2025_02/image.jpeg.02c57e5649657bc762469b2798300c60.jpeg Edited February 28 by Amt0571 Quote

They already had an "Osprey" in 8082: Yes, but that set wasn't called an "Osprey" at all because it wasn't licensed. Unfortunately, most Technic sets nowadays are licensed to increase sales. A major limitation of licenses is that the model must resemble it's real-life counterpart. Since 42113 was licensed by Bell-Boeing and featured a V-22 Osprey aircraft that is only used in the Air Force with no civilian version in active service, TLG couldn't make the set because it went against their commitment to avoiding military vehicles. Anyhoo, sorry for derailing this conversation, everyone. We are talking about 2025 sets in this topic, and from the way things are looking there will not be any aircraft on the Technic assembly line this year anyway. And so we return to TLG's normal routine of Technic cars and construction vehicles... Edited February 28 by HydroWorld Outlook Quote
