Technic 2019 Set Discussion

[JunkstyleGio]

That 4x4 is kind of "Sticker-Heavy"!  But it is orange so I will buy it anyway...

[Technicallism]

Yup not usual orange in 42056 nor yellow

but this color does exist quite long time in the inventory

just seldom we saw them being used, especially in technic

[tgrbailey]

That 4x4 looks the business!

No new tires on the 4x4  Let's hope these are dtill not final photos...

now there is a bigger chance to get new tires in 42110 set (Land Rover Defender) 

[jovel]

To me it looks like the crawler has independent suspension on all wheels.

On top of that, the whole front axle can rotate using the turntable.

[jorgeopesi]

The movement of the liebherr arm looks a little short I hope just in the pic.

[Vectormatic]

That off-roader looks awesome, spot-on colour and stickers for the cab!

Im not a huge fan of all the electronics though, im not huge on building my own RC cars, and having bought some PF stuff a few years back, im still kinda sour that it got replaced already

[jorgeopesi]

Narrower wheels are always good news too for everyone.

looks pretty final to me ;)

It seemed absolutely impossible to invent a new suspension, that hadn't appeared in mocs,

but TLG did it!

Maybe because it adds weight without improving performance, it is a functional aesthetic detail IMO.

The new mechanism provides a very big amplitude of the front suspension.

I agree but innecessary for a trial truck for example.

The model would be boring and ordinary without the combined suspension! )))))

I think only the front axle is pendular + (maybe) independent, I assume rear axle is only independent.

[Timorzelorzworz]

speaking about the color of 42099, for me it looks like regular orange. If it is so, we finally get the tapered 5x11 panel in this color. Otherwise it would mean bright ligth orange, but compared to other sets (for example 60197 city train) it looks darker. I always wondered why we did not see bright light orange in Technic yet, but I think not in this set.

Yes, with only four wheels it makes sense to have a single pendular axle. There's a great explanation at Jennifer Clark's Demag crane page, at the "Suspension" section.

The only limit is your imagination budget! I know I want them all...

[Timorzelorzworz]

I'am a bit disappointed about the crane boom design. This was exactly copied from 42082. No innovation here.

[StoneWarsDE]

Does anyone know the original source of these images from the catalog in Japan? I'd love to get a DM about this :)

I was just going to say that!

I like them all. This is a great Summer. 

[Timorzelorzworz]

Talking about colors, this year is free of green. This suggests that 42110 Land Rover becomes regular green or lime and we can expect some panels that are missing yet in these colors. I do not think earth green or olive 'cause it looks to military for a jeep

[Anio]

Well, if that Land Rover has to be green, I think that Dark Green (Lego Earth Green) would be more appropriate.

[Yevhen]

I have to buy everything, except the spider crane. Fortunately, I can build this crane of my current parts.

What if it uses 28T gears? So far, they're only available in SPIKE Prime... which isn't available yet.
