42053 - Volvo EW160E

[JLee1608]

I was looking at the way the valves are positioned and noticed that i could fit m motors in between the hoses. Then looking further, i thought, why not move the valves closer behind the cab and put m motors straight up behind them? There's space to pull down the motor wires and you can put them down to the chassis. Anyone else noticed this? I just built the model so not going to cut up my hoses yet (literally don't have a single pneumatic piece but this set)

RIP Eurobrick's credibility

Even forgot about this review and somehow got hold of this and the claas a week before Christmas.

Just remember the guys (and girls) who do the reviews and keep the whole thing running are all volunteers,  If the review is that important to you, you can always join the review academy and have a go at doing it yourselves.

An exercise in bad taste and disrespect.

It's not that important to me to be honest because I've already got the set and Sariel's review is already sufficient. If you can be so kind to read my message again, I'm more concerned about Eurobrick's credibility in TLG's eyes, because they sent us sets expecting reviews but we didn't do it for them.

Personally I love the Jim's reviews, with those amazing pictures, also he have help me to buy some sets. So I was a bit sad because December has ended and the 42053 is still missing. That's all. I am not disappointed by the Reviewer's and EB credibility as nguyengiangoc, though it's his opinion and point of view. So

@suffocation, I don't pretended to be disrespectful as you thought 

@LucyCol Don't worry, obviously we understand that reviewers are volunteers and have an own life as everybody and we appreciate the effort behind scenes. Anyway,  I guess that your last sentence - about reviews, joining the Academy and such - is not necessary as it doesn't help to this discussion.

I ordered this set this weekend for parts, primarily the pneumatics. Looking forward to build it before using the parts for other things.

the set is quite better than I thought. I bought it for christmas together with the claas.It needs few improvements but lego did a good job.

Built it last night. It's honestly bigger than I thought it would be.

@Jims reviews are so in depth and detailed (and have helped me decide on sets as a Technic newbie) that I'll happily wait. I can only imagine the hours he puts into every review and I sure as sure is couldn't do it.

It's not often Jang does Technic reviews but he seems to really like this set. After the news of the 2020 sets has come out we need more pneumatic sets!

The only 42053 review that's missing now is @Jim's
