jrx Posted August 1, 2018 Great reviews as always. Thx a lot. This season I had the impression your callouts disappeared very quickly. I had to go back a few seconds at the longer texts (I’m not a slow reader ...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Euan2468 Posted August 2, 2018 Well, looks like the 42082 is the replacement for the bucket wheel excavator. Can’t wait for someone to motorise the forest machine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Euan2468 Posted August 2, 2018 No I meant motorising the things that are suppose to cut the branch. A 1:3 gear ratio would be good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeamThrifty Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) It is as @Sariel said, personal preference, and even though i love 42082, an alternative point of view, logically detailed is interesting. For me, gaps and pin-holes are fine. I'd rather that than tonnes of system bricks. But again that just me.. Quite diverse reviews of 42082 from @Sariel and @Jim - but great to see TLG supporting freedom to review honestly. Gives the undecided valuable information. I still love 42082 though!!

Jim Posted August 3, 2018 I still need to watch Sariel’s review, but I understand he is more critical. I tend to like models quite easily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted August 4, 2018 Thanks for great reviews. Based on those reviews I bought the 42079 and 42080 and will probably get the 42082. The 42081 looks good, but there is not enough function, it needs a central gearbox. Thanks, Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bublehead Posted August 14, 2018 Just watched your reviews... made me lol. Who will not like this set? Buyers who value their money... Made me almost spit take my beer. Thanks for the reviews. In the middle of the RTC build right now. Enjoying it, but it makes me want to MOC something better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bublehead Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Isn’t the red curved 7x3x2 panel a part in a new color for this set? I was only pretty aware since I had to use black ones in my MOC. These are the first ones I knew to be available. Edited August 16, 2018 by Bublehead Grammar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
