[LEGO #21344 - Orient Express]

I am waiting too. Still no discounts in sight

[42167 Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck]

Looks like it's got "THE" grabbing function

Hi, guys! 

I know that, there is February yet and we're before March release, but let's start new topic! 

 

So, at first I want to say that 2023 wave is amazing. New brand, new mudguards, new windscreens! Whoah! 

And there are my speculation/cars I want to see in Speed Champions 2024:

~ Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25

~ Ford Focus RS 2021

 

 

 

What do you think about my cars? 

What cars would you like to see? Show your speculation/wishlist. 

There was no Focus RS after the 2018 model year. This is a render based on the next generation.

These 4 "space" technic sets next year looking great!

[[CADA] CADA General Discussion Topic]

I want to set so bad! But to me, all the RC components are useless and i will leave them out of the model, unless Cada makes a static version.

Yes i know they are needed for all sorts of functions and it probably won't work in a static version..., but most of these models are shelf queens and get driven once!

[[CADA] CADA General Discussion Topic]

Really hope they also make non-RC version of this AMG one. Worst case, wait for a discount (which will happen, even on Lego sets on day one) and leave the rc stuff out and sell it lol

So we're complaining for years how the theme has become slick and smooth and repetitive instead of functional and technically interesting, and now, for once, we're getting an out-of-the-ordinary set with original and novel functions, and people aren't getting it because it's not slick and smooth enough?

Some people are weird...

... I don't know, i never complained about that!

And calling other people weird just for their different opinion, doesn't make you better, does it?!

The main flaw is the steering system, which has to many slag... but it's just unavoidable here as the geometry is just too complex.

Thats the reason i am not getting it. At least for now, maybe once the price dropped. But the steering wobble and instability in reviews looked ridiculous

At least the Sian gets the hunching pose, the fat face, and the basic lines correct.

The Sian is 1:8. The bigger the car, the more detailed it gets

That looks nothing like this.

None of those 1:18 Technic cars do look like their IRL counterpart

[42157 - Skidder John Deere 948L-II]

Don't get why TLG still has no generic forest/construction/whatever machine rims to fit existing tires! I can't see those sporty six spoke JDM race wheels anymore!!

[[CADA] CADA General Discussion Topic]

Still zero information about the 61503 AMG One out there :(

[42158 - NASA Mars Rover Perseverance]

How on earth (no pun intended) does this steering mode selector work?

[42157 - Skidder John Deere 948L-II]

Because it simply doesn't need one! No manual pneumatic set needs one!

I have 8462, and it has 2 air tanks... but they are useless. You have to pump way more before anything moves, because the room for compressed air is way bigger.

Without an airtank you have to pump like 2-3 times for a fully extended or retracted cylinder, depending on the load and such...

Lego got rid of airtanks not because to annoy people, but rather because they are useless in most cases.

[42158 - NASA Mars Rover Perseverance]

Are those fully plastic wheels?

Would be neat to have some car tires fit around that wheel

[Icons Chevrolet Corvette 2023 Rumour]

Oh heck yes please.

[10317 Land Rover Classic Defender Discussion]

And people complained that we didn't get a yellow defender they showed us in their teaser in scottland couple of months ago 😀

[42158 - NASA Mars Rover Perseverance]

The want is real 😍

[42151 - Bugatti Bolide]

Maybe they just wanna test the recolored sets market again, like 2 years ago with the Fiat 500

They are. Well, grey-black, anyway.

Then maybe thats the reason they have recolored them last year, for this set...

[42157 - Skidder John Deere 948L-II]

Love it. Big old tractor to haul stuff

They even could have used the yellow cylinders and it would not have looked stupid (unless real ones are grey as well)

 

Butwhy those sport Edition rims again? Can not see them anymore!

[[MOD] 42128 - Tow Truck - Mods and Improvements]

Thats just the pneumatic components, they get stuck over time.

[The BlueBrixx Thread]

I have the same tripple switch and didn't have any problems. The wheel assembly widths have enough tolerance, but i only use the newest style lego wheels on all rolling stock (Lego, BB and others)

[42156 - Peugeot 9X8 Hypercar]

But these are RC driven at least. This case is new with the front diff being different (in shape) to the rear diff and doesn't really do anything apart from spinning the simulated hybrid electric motor thingy.

Kinda useless, but great they placed it in to mimic the irl thing.
