Technic 2017 Set Discussion

There's a "speculation" and "2017" in the topic, so I am sharing my thoughts about Flagship for 2017.

That's not sharing your thoughts, nor is it speculation. So please refrain form turning this into a "I'd love to see this model" topic.

To make this even more clear, I have changed the topic title. From now on this is a Set Discussion topic. Speculation leaves too much room for wish list derailing.

Ok, noted :)

Does anyone know when Sariel is going to release his reviews for new Technic sets? Will it be at December 1st again?

Probably not, since the sets haven't been shipped yet, or are in the process of being shipped. So I reckon it will be later than the 1st of December.

Lots of the new sets are listed on UK s@h now!

i notice they're available 20th December, tight for Christmas Day or what!

The jet, ocean explorer and container transport look great, I just can't help thinking they could have made more of the telehandler - but there all on my Christmas list now :-)

But as I see they are only "coming soon" on Jan 1 2017. In the US you can already buy some of them.

[HallBricks]

All sets are listed now. It says "Coming soon on 20 december"

It's confirmed that in the Jet, there is a VTOL function with motorized nozzle, upper doors, lower doors, and spinning fans.

Stickers for the upper control say FLIGHT and VTOL.

 

And for the motorized wheel retraction, the wheels don't actually retract all the way up onto the body. They just fold up about 45 degrees, which is kinda meh to me

It wouldn't be the first jet to have partially retracting gear - the Fairchild A10 is a great example. Granted, it doesn't have the probably speed of this one...

Thanks Jim!

Interesting to find out the way the blades/engine are driven, although im not a huge fan of the mechanism used (the tan gears on the bottom)

Ill pick one up first chance i get!

Whats happened to the 42065? Theres no 'coming soon' place holder for this set. It's probably top of my wishlist, reminds me of an RC when I was a boy.

If someone is interested here is another review, not as good as ones made by Pavel, but it is preety decent

Maybe 42065 is march release. Instead, it seems there are no chances to finally get the fire truck 42051...

The building instructions for some of the new sets are released on the Customer service site. B-model instructions are also available...

But some parts (new ones, like new worm gear) are "out of stock" on the LEGO Service page :(

[Gnac]

Yah, it'll be like that until february at the earliest - the "buy" section of Bricks and Pieces closes in january* to allow customer services to catch up with missing / broken parts queries from over the chrimble period. I'd like to get some of the 2017 sets myself for those nifty new parts, but I don't fancy the hustle an' bustle of my local LEGO Store on the 20th.

 

* Just spotted a note on the site mentioning that it will be closing on 15th Dec, returning february 2017

Do you know if that's just temporary or will it stay closed? I really like being able to purchase from there, some parts are cheaper than on BrickLink and the shipping fee is always low.

Even though they are different scales, they look good together:

And when you align the special bricks, It creates a "T" shape...   It's probably nothing, but it's cool.

Temporary, though it felt like about two months had passed when it finally re-opened earlier this year... :1
