42079 - Heavy Duty Forklift

[Maaboo the Witch]

Woah, love the schematic drawings that are coming out at the moment. Is it just me, or does this feel like more of an anniversary year than 2017? 

[N-4K0]

The schematics are interesting to look at, makes it feel even more technical.

And yes, this does feel like more of an anniversary year.

Woah, 1:1 scale! That's even better!

That’s why Eurobricks is 18+ isn’t it?

I see that you have posted this in like three different threads and I am not understanding what you mean, I see no 1:1 scale. Am I not seeing something right, sorry for the stupid question, feel like I am missing something.

I thought they were 1:1 scaled to mini fig. Someone pointed out that is the scale compared to the minifig. You aren't missing anything.

Look what I have just found at doorstep :)
Full review in polish coming soon, short in english will probably follow.

@M_longer That is great. However, even before the review, we would love to see the parts list :)

I wouldn't say this thing has any parts to write home about. Great set, though.

Indeed. What you see is what you get. One Worm Gear Small and a couple of panels. Ohh and the Gear Rack Holder and Gear Rack. That's about as interesting as it gets.

It's not the size of the inventory, it's what you do with it.

Having said that, it does lose value as a "parts pack".

Hehe

Depends on which parts you need

First great news is that there are TWO instruction booklets, for A and B models:

Parts list:

And as Jim said, there are almost none gears in this set. But I still like it :)

It is a very nice set, don't get me wrong 

[arijitdas]

@M_longer Thank you for sharing the details. It seems I can build this set with existing parts. I may have to replace the panel colors.

Have the same problem with 42082 ;)

@M_longer thanks for parts list. It is nice set with all major functionalities of real forklift. The fact that this set uses small amount of gears speaks for efficient design ?

[Maaboo the Witch]

Looks-wise, I'd say this is the best set in the H2 wave.

Just like 42069.

I agree with you on that ?

(That is the reason I bought 42075 and 42077 set)

I have forgot to mention that both booklets and sticker were not packed in a bag. All loose in the box. Plus 6 bags of parts and 4 tires.

For more it is not such problem...Usually I buy sets for parts but sometimes I keep sets built like Arocs or Unimog

[jorgeopesi]

First time I like a set even without new parts, it would be done having the instructions.

Indeed. I think it can be unfair of us to constantly demand new parts from TLG. Some of the fun is seeing what the designers can innovate with the existing catalogue.

While I love new parts or recolours I can only thank TLG for not releasing then in 2H sets. Trying to keep up the pace and not spend a fortune on new parts I still have few of them to collect from 2015 & 2016 releases.
