[Auroralampinen]

Well, i decided to give technic magazines their own topic:).

Nice!

Is there a way to add all the small magazine sets in this topic? It looks they are different in each country. In Italy at the moment they made only 7 releases.

Its kind of sad that in finland we don't have these cool technic magazines. We only have lego minecraft, friends, super heroes and other lego magazines if i remember correctly:/.

[Toastie]

Nice!

Sometimes (but rarely) I pick up a copy in one of the - mostly grocery - stores around here. 

Are these magazines actually made by TLG? The imprint suggests not, as far as I remember (I recycle the magazines and just keep the instruction pages and file them - in an orderly fashion - literally “away” — for whatever reason. Hmmm — maybe I should seek professional advice )

I guess these are TLG endorsed magazine outlets or such?

The company is Blue Ocean, I don't know how are they related to TLG.

On the back of the paper envelope of the set, there is a link with the digital instructions. This is one example:

If you change the number you find other sets (412504, 412503...)

Yes, I just bought issue 9 today. So the Research Submarine is gonna be the last 2025 set, which matches the bi-monthly cadence.

Here's are the instructions for the Offroader:

...and some insights regarding the design of this set. These magazine gift sets are designed by LEGO Design Masters, so official LEGO sets. Blue Ocean just takes care of the distribution, parts packing, magazine printing, replacement part support etc.



Here's the current Technic Design Team line-up. Although, I don't think it's complete.

Is this the first Technic car with a multicylinder transverse engine?

[Zerobricks]

What's with the tyres not properly attached to the rims?

I think they are attached properly; it's just that it's using rims that are wider than the tires.

I agree, rims 55982 and tires 18977.

"Bewegliche Zylinder" shows the authors' technical competence.

It's not the cylinders moving, it's the pistons...! 

And like every real "Super Sports Car", it has two cylinders.

Wow Lars Krogh Jensen is 65 years old o.O

I would have estimated him at age 50.
