You are right - not all the parts are shown. But part 24375 is old and should have been included in the list. It is also missing from all the photos. The necessity of this part at home is also questionable - it is not needed on a flat surface. I still do not understand the point of releasing new parts. As a protection against copying, this does not work at all - a copy of the McLaren P1 was released on the market in less than a month. As a demand stimulation, it can only affect fans who replenish their collections with new parts by buying new models, but their share among buyers is insignificant and does not affect demand. Most buy another toy and do not pay any attention to the new parts at all. Quote

Every new part (whether a new shape or just colour) opens up some new possibility however small, and the entire brand moves forward with the new parts. This applies to practically every kind of commercial product, stagnation would mean death for the brand and the company. Quote

Of course, changes are needed - for example, replacing the ancient infrared remote control with control from a smartphone via Bluetooth. Panels for external design can also be added both in shape and in color, but not for the sake of plugging every hole in the next model. For example, the 3x3 holes in the subject could be patched with pairs of 2387/2389 panels - this will not affect the sale of the model for $ 450 - you can radically change the sales volumes only by removing the zero from the price. New technical details (connectors, hubs, etc.) often look like "sucked out of a finger". Let me remind you again - except for the participants of this forum, most of the new details will not be noticed by anyone - the target audience of LEGO products is completely different. Quote

Let me remind you again - except for the participants of this forum, most of the new details will not be noticed by anyone - the target audience of LEGO products is completely different. I have a different approach regarding new parts. As new parts go (except some one-offs, like buckets, 1:8 car hubs) they might not have the best introduction in first sets, but as I've experienced they are used in future sets where the available parts are insufficient because of rigidity, weight, angle, etc. Also, as TLG designers think ahead 1-2 years they must know (most of the time) what other usage will that new part have. I'm not speaking about recolours as they are just 'cosmetic' stuff. Actually, designers make their works easier by introducing these parts. It's a side effect that we can also use them in future projects like them. Edited July 24 by Jockos Quote

Yes they will be noticed even by those who don't build much. Imagine sets from your childhood and compare them to the current ones, would you have become an AFOL if they used practically the same parts palette as back then? I know I wouldn't have. I also noticed the progress during my 25 years of darkness - and remember, I wasn't in any way following new set or part releases, just seeing the sets in the shelves of stores. Not everyone will notice of course, but enough do that TLG can't just retire their parts design department and call the current assortment of available parts "complete". Also, most kids will keep interest in Lego for at least a few years, many even a decade or so, and during that time they definitely would notice lack of new stuff and lose interest and therefore sales, it doesn't really matter that the parents are paying. So the constant design and release process of new parts is there to keep the product fresh, whether in short or longer term. Today it's more important than ever as competitors are numerous and would surpass Lego easily and quickly if there were no new parts releases. Quote

I will wait @kbalage's review but defiantly not buy at first day. 2 months ago already confirm no rechargeable battery. From Lego official image already confirm the hub is "dumb hub"..same as 42145 Airbus Helicopter. Quote

Seems that it could've been a nice midrange set, very much a disappointment for a flagship. Quote

First time seeing this guy :D Sometimes, when I have some free time, I watch reviews of my sets. Seeing how rushed and uncaring the reviewers are is embarrassing. Sometimes people complain about a poorly built component, only to discover it wasn't built according to the instructions. Instead of going back and fixing it, they blame the designer. Well, you have to be the first. This is 2025 social platforms :) Quote
Jundis Posted July 28 Posted July 28 7 hours ago, Timorzelorzworz said: This german fool trying hard only to be first one Thank you for pointing that out, so I'm not the only one... Rants are the best click-bait on youtube, so most reviewers go with it, especially ranting against Lego and praising all others, regardless of their flaws. Aside from this trend, I have to second what most people think. The 42215 seem kind of redundant and doesn't bring anything new to the table aside from a new bucket piece and the black long actuators. From the promo video it also seems it has very slow movement, which in my opinion were kind of acceptable for 42100 as it was a whole other scale, but looks foolish in this set. Kind of a highlight could have been the jackhammer, if it was motorized, but sadly isn't. Quote

It should be possible to modify this, using the motorized shaft from the coupler for the jackhammer and making the coupler manual Quote
