42056 - Porsche Speculation

[technic_addict]

Exactly. That is what I was confirming.

Thanks!

[Didumos69]

Thanks!

And I guess sharing such information would not violate any embargo.

Maybe the problem with the gearbox built by the techlug guy only happens because he doesn't use the new connector, simple as that.

I am finding that very hard to believe. From the pictures it looks like all of the connectors in the set are the new kind except for the shifter in the middle. Plus I had seen the Techlug video and you could see it had the new style slider connectors in it.

He was talking about the retro-engineered one.

Am I wrong in remembering reading somewhere that this will be a limited produced model? Does anyone know how many are going to be produced?

[promobricks]

It looks like the Porsche set will have some power functions preparations - and with the numbered plate as login on a website you will the instructions how to do that ...

Yes you are wrong

[thomol]

Now the "Coming soon" without date is shown on more shop@home sites, for example Sweden, Denmark and Germany. Not yet US though...

Yeah I'm talking about the reverse-engineered one on techlug. Maybe it's all because of the old 3L connector.

That shouldn't have anything to do with the excess friction in the gearbox though.

[charlesw]

Yes you are wrong

Somehow it is given its pricing

I am still seeing June 1st on the Sweden and German Lego shop sites.

Lego shop in Stratford/Westfield today said it was limited, I queried this and he then said with a smile that's what we're being told to say!!

Hm, must be the Interwebs. Have you emptied your cache?

Hmmm you've got a valid point

Although it's almost 21:00 in Holland and also almost 21:00 on EB.

However, officially we need to look at the GMT. And it's only 19:00 according to GMT.

@ Jim there is an old saying: Don't be lazy :laugh:

[Jim]

Cool

Well earned....I sure hope so

Regarding the review, I try to give you guys (and girls) an honest opinion with enough information. You need to draw the final conclusion yourselves.
