  1. The ramp seems to do it's job quite well in JangBrick's review:
  2. 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.
  3. The building instructions for some of the new sets are released on the Customer service site. B-model instructions are also available...
  4. All sets are listed now. It says "Coming soon on 20 december"
  5. Isn't that an unusual early retiring? The crane has only been out for a little more than a year... I have planned to buy it, it din't see this coming
  6. I'm not fond of the color scheme used on the tracked racer. I remember that a couple of years ago the 1H flagship used to be released a couple of months later than the rest of the sets, maybe first of march or something. I don't know how it has been the very last few years, are all sets released at once or does the biggest model get released later?
  7. Oh okay, I have never seen it before. Thank you! Yeah you are right, there is one door on the top behind the canopy and one on the bottom, behind the wheel.
  8. Yeah, they indeed look red on that picture but I'm sure they're reddish brown. It's clearly visible on the box for example:
  9. I don't know which picture you are referring to, but I think it's clear that it's reddish brown... So no red, don't know if thats good or bad...
  10. They're actually reddish brown in the tracked racer too
  11. Yeah they must have heard that. Fortunately it was recolored into two useful colors...
  12. So axle 5 with stop is now molded in reddish brown instead, I think it looks way worse than dark tan. We have seen many useful axles and connectors appearing in new colors, most of them look fairly good and are quite easy to blend into models. I am not a big fan of the reddish brown color though, it doesn't look to belong in a technic model. It looks like wood or someting...
  13. Yeah, it's great to finally be able to have a worm gear that meshes with bevel gears. It looks to have the same diameter as the 12z gear, so it might be difficult to mesh with the turntables, but I don't know. If would be awesome if it would work.
  14. The new worm gear looks like it only will mesh with double bevel gears, so the 8z gear will most likely not work. So unfortunately worm gear functions will take as much space as before, maybe just a little bit smaller.
  15. Which part did you refer to here? Don't really understand what you meant, sorry Maybe, but it would be nice to have such a connector :)
  16. I think it's the regular pin with pinhole recolored into light bluish gray connected to a light bluish gray beam... You can see them in light bluish gray on the A-model where the tail rudders are connected as well.
  17. Found some more pictures: Isn't this a new rim?
  18. Part 87082 comes in red in set 42057 (helicopter). Its visible in the back of the B-model. That part has only been available in red in one set before.
  19. I tried to import a project made in MLCad that included many of the PF parts that are not available in Stud.io. They are displayed correctly in Stud.io, even though they are not in the parts library. You can move them around and rotate them just as all the other parts, and their names are displayed correctly. The color and price guide info are not available for those parts though, but it seems like they are integrated in the software in some way. Lsynth cables are completely invisible, but thats not surprising.
  20. I received the link to the beta today, and I have played around with the software for some time now. As I am mostly interested in technic, I built mostly with that kind of parts. As mentioned earlier, the software lacks many electric and pneumatic parts, and as far as I can see there is not yet any way to deal with flexible parts. Other than that I must say I am very impressed. The selection of Lego CAD software for macOS is very small, and this is by far the best in my opinion. It looks very modern, and it is very fast and super responsive. The price guide features and color by availability are surprisingly fast, the available colors for each parts show up instantly. The parts snap feature is super useful, I have missed that feature since SR3D was still available. I also love that pars rotation works smoothly and not in steps like in MLcad, and you can also hinge parts that are connected in one spot. This feature is very useful when building technic models, and it is also completely smooth without steps. You can add steps in the document, and when exporting to LDraw, the steps are coming along. I found no errors in the exported LDraw file, and it worked great in LDview and LPub. You aren't able to add rotational steps in Stud.io so you might have to make some adjustments in LPub when making instructions. This software is still in a quite early beta stage, and I'm still very impressed. There are not any obvious bugs that makes it feel unfinished. I'm not completely happy with the parts library, it could be a little easier to navigate through, and for now there are images of every part. I would like an option to the parts in a list without pictures, and just the names. I look forward to use the software more, and to see how the final version will be.
  21. What happened to the tele handler?

    Hi! Could someone please help me identify the colors of theses three swords? My guess is from left to right: Pearl light grey, flat silver, Pearl dark grey. Could someone confirm that info?
