14 hours ago, nerdsforprez said:? Is the P1 different than all other cars? I have an old hyundai sonota. Gears change by pulling. Gave that to my kid. Now I have one of the new M2s. Pull. "pushing" makes no sense. I believe it is pull.
Actually... I am editing my response. For Lego, perhaps it is push.. but that is not how it is in real cars. In real cars, gears change by pulling on the paddle shifters...
I meant on the Lego set.
Sorry for the confusion. -
5 minutes ago, LvdH said:Just did some testing. Has anyone mentioned that the gearbox paddles are once again wrong? Pulling the left paddle shifts up, and pulling the right paddle shifts down, or they inverted the gears.
Or I somehow made a mistake which I highly doubt.You are not supposed to pull, but to push.
Hence it is correct. -
1 hour ago, Jockos said:why Technic can't make models with 4500-5000 parts.
Because designers didn't need such a piece count for the products they developped so far.
I asked this question to Markus back in 2019 (designer of 42100). Designers have no limitation in piece count for products.
If they need 5000 parts for a product some day, they will go for 5000 parts.The only limit may be the system itself : when you come to huge models, you face the limits of the system. Friction between gears, structural issues, limits of linear actuator, etc.
Let's no forget that they are just plastic elements, first made for kids.

Hi there !
It took quite some time but the instructions for my UCS Rey's Speeder are finally available.
It is quite an unsual build, and Leewan did a great job to make these instructions.
The instructions feature detailed steps, modular build, inventory and UCS sticker.
The price of the instructions is 30€.
You can buy it directly to me by sending me an email ( setechnic@gmail.com ), or you can go on Rebrickable : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-184744/Aniomylone/reys-speeder/#details
Do not hesitate to share pictures if you add this baby to your collection. ;)

They are indeed.
Both are connected with a string snaking so as to make a 10x19 net. -

So, year 2023, with "Liebherr" 42146, would be the best Technic year ever ?
That's a good one ! -

No it doesn't.

1 hour ago, R0Sch said:I disagree. Here are the most expensive Technic elements sorted from highest to lowest from B&P's:
No offense, but you kinda make my point.
A - the price of B&P is not so relevantB- eventhough the value were relevant, these parts have little value compared to PU element (about 20 or 25€ per element)
-
1 minute ago, R0Sch said:But then you'd also have to take out the rims and tires, etc.
Nah. They don't change the value that much. I mean, compared to electric parts.
-
4 hours ago, R0Sch said:Here is a quick and dirty summary of price/gramm for all Technic sets from 42000 to 42158 based on the part weights taken from brickmerge (don't know how accurate those are).
Very interesting study.
However, I think that the weight and the approx value of electronic parts (motors, hubs) should be deducted from the total weight and the price so as to truly calculate the value of plastic.To some extend, the same should be done with pneumatic parts (cylinders, pumps, switchs) as they are expensive parts.
-
3 hours ago, R0Sch said:Btw, you can get the 41.2g mass of the counterweight elements with a higher density plastic. My guess is they are not made of ABS (since lacking the typical LEGO shine) but made of PA or PC.
Compared to regular Lego parts, they also have poor quality.
If you look closely, you will see some misalignment when they are stacked.
This makes me believe that the production of these counterweight parts might be outsourced. Pretty much like electric motors (PF, PU). -
19 minutes ago, nerdsforprez said:There is no way this thing was ever going to appear like the real thing (in scale only) unless it were a totally different scale. Can you imagine if this thing were to even remotely resemble the real thing, scale-wise? I think we would be looking at a $1200-1500 price tag instead.
Note that by being the same size but much thinner, the set could have resemble the real LR 13000.
There is plenty of empty space in 42146 which makes me believe that it could have been the same size, but correctly scaled.
Not to mention that if you go for a thinner design, you can also go for smaller motors, etc.

It's because it is postponed once again.

Nice model. A fly kinda likes it too. :)
Would have love to have a few pics of the internal structure. :)

1 hour ago, MKJoshA said:. @Anio as a Lego ambassador I hope you'll be able to share our comments with TLG somehow.
Ok. I will try to report that to TLG when I review this product (my copy should be on its way soon btw).

Yes, I saw that.

3 hours ago, Mr Ogel said:according to stonewars it is a "photoshopped improvement" of a lifestyle picture in the media kit so they will be definitely dbg
Wow.
Someone thought it was relevant to make a full article on that matter while you can see on official pictures that it is clearly DBG.

Next.

I could say the same.

I think you forgot 42113, Sir.

@smoothbit I know this is not exactly the set you are looking, but I think that 8436 and 42144 kinda have this universal kit vibe.
As for models using a motor kit (8293), here are the references that come to my mind : 9395, 8053, 8294, 8295, 8265, 42029, 42000, 9396, 42039, 42053, 42068.
But I am afraid none of them has this universal kit feeling.

It is not.
You can see on Lego picture that the photo is taken a bit from the back. I mean, have a look at the Bright Light Orange 3x5 liftarm near the wheel arch.
