42055 - Bucket Wheel Excavator

[Jonfensu]

Maybe he puts MK in his biggest sets like 42009 and 42055. 42043 is obviously the exception because it's a licenced model.

is there a $???.?? for the states yet?

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Any wild guess what MK IV can be?

I'm thinking he will use MK on unlicensed sets, but fit his name into models somehow, licensed or not, just like the license plate on the Mercedes. Any supporting evidence?

does anyone know the damage for 42055 in the states will be $$$

[Emmi]

I am impressed, very impressed ... imagine this being the official TLG version.

[Samer]

The price would become too high. IMO 42055 is meant for modding in such a way or another for those interested.

42043 is not MKIII because it was licenced. i believe 8110(unimog) was also designed by markus kossman but that was also licensed.

EDIT: oh wait, forgot to read last page. sorry for saying something that's already been said

I'm buying it for the parts... It's huge! That would really help my models with the pieces (not to mention an XL motor!)

As far as I'm aware, the price in the United States is going to be $279.99. This is on Brickset, and another website that had been at NYTF.

Beat me to it.

My wild guess is mobile rocket launch site :) .

[Ngoc Nguyen]

To push things even wilder, as Lego does this year, my guess is that MK IV will be a clock tower.

C model:

Came across these which will make a good MOC using parts from BWE.

A bucket wheel trencher machine - not sure which way it moves when trenching.

It would dig pulling the bucket wheel along

The BWE even has a sticker describing itself with various specifications:

Nice detail.

I guess that m are studs and that t are grams.

Oh the chassis pieces in 42055, God I'll be in heaven. I love to build frames with tons of chassis.

Not even close

Its almost 50 studs tall and probably also almost 40 studs wide , and WAY heavier than 3200 grams

[N-4K0]

Meters and tons then, I assume.

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Not sure if Markus based these measurements on any real BWE, or he just cooked them up

[deehtha]

Maybe they are the scaled dimensions, based on the size of the dump truck.

other way around i guess :)

This made my day.

[Dafgek81]

Are there any pictures of the B model yet?

I haven't seen any.

And those buckets are a new mold to as far as I can see.
