    We want photos of the leaks

    Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    No, this is good, he's finally recognizing that it's unreasonable to expect tons of sets/characters/luigi's pizza modulars from this theme.
  5. Will be a "challenging building experience" with only one piece of hardware. Looks like 18+ sets are too difficult
  6. The "fastest" claim has not been confirmed, so far it only comes from leakers. I highly doubt it's the fastest of all LEGO RC cars, maybe the fastest Control+ set. That is not very hard to achieve, it just has to beat the 42124 Off-Road Buggy. The 3.6V battery doesn't help with that though, but with the 2 integrated motors it's doable, but playtime will certainly suffer. Yes we do know, @Akbalder had a very nice find with the good quality photos! As I see we have 3 integrated motors, and apparently 6 integrated lights as well! This explains how the set can have lights without external ports on the hub.

    LEGO Star Wars 2024 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

    Knockoff companies can get knockoffs out faster- sometimes before the official set. There's also bad press if they cancel a set too late in the game, or make changes people don't like. But the main reason is actually the opposite of your last sentence. Usually when sets leak, it's prelims. Potato quality images. That sort of thing. It's sets leaking in a way lego doesn't want them presented to the public. It's as simple as they want their product to be shown off by them, in the best light, not on instagram from some random guy through a twelve pixel image. That's not a good example. There are still tons of well-known helmets they can do. Most clones and imperials, for one. Kylo ren, Grievous's head, etc would also work very well. Boushh was chosen as an ROTJ anniversary tie-in.

    2024 Space sets

    Thanks for that link. Yeah, the "Futuron inspired" look appears to be just a diagonal divide between orange and white on the torso.

    2024 Space sets

    The Rambling Brick has pictures! The new shoulder armor looks particularly cool, even if I'm not sure I'd personally have use for it (since the new City astronauts already have pretty good color-coded neck accessories). The "Futuron-style torsos" might be a looser interpretation and looks like the new reddish orange rather than coral.
  10. Just reread this... 3.7V? That sounds very low to be consistent with their claim of "fastest"! I guess it's possible to run high-output motors at low voltage (high current), but it doesn't seem to make much sense to me So we do know it has three motors, eh? I would have guessed that they'd just use one rear motor and forget the differential, but two would be better!

    Your Favourite Minifigure

    That's the minifigure, as well as the set I received.
  12. If this set uses that specialized hub what would power the lights?
  13. There is still a (small) chance for this, although the remote control would then probably use standard AA/AAA batteries :)
  14. In mid-2022, I wanted to make a "older" version of the Jurassic World set 76947 - Quetzalcoatlus Plane Ambush for my Adventurers themed models. So, I stuck the nose of set 5935 - Island Hopper onto the plane, completely redid the color scheme, and added floats where the wheels were. Then I forgot about the model for two years... until now, when pictures have finally been taken! Here we see the plane with it's pilot, Pippin Reed. The rear of the plane. The cockpit and cargo area have opening hatches. Thoughts?
  15. If the HUB is specialized for cars, they could include a controller instead of having to use a mobile app.
  16. This new integrated hub in Porsche would mean that the integrated motor at the front is responsible for steering and the two motors for the rear drive without differential - one motor per rear wheel mounted opposite. The C+ app then needs to adjust the speed for each wheel when the car drives on curve, like a differential would do. This is something similar to real electro cars they are driven directly by wheel hub, not by axle. The new hub totally makes sense here when TLG tries to make "e-performance" as realistic as possible and is also a benefit for upcoming tracked vehicles (driving tracks on opposite, rotating super structure with third motor where a 4-port-hub would waste one port)

    Cement Silo Wagon and Tank Wagon

    Your builds look great! True of so many things (grin) they should have done that with the Eiffel Tower
  18. Greetings! A new fort right next to Seawatch has just been constructed by the 2nd Infantry Battalion d'Division 3, named "Fort Firmo", Fort Firmo will be comanded by Olson's Maj Collins. Even though all fighting has practically been halted against Lotus, it's still important to keep an eye out for potential lurkers 👀. The duties of Fort Firmo are simple, to house soldiers to patrol Seawatch, and patrol a decent amount of the mainland away from Seawatch with "SAR" operations (Search And Recover). All weapons that are found out on patrol will be captured, documented, and if needed, repaired at a weapons repair station in Ft Firmo. Ft Firmo will provide small arms and artillery repair, housing, and serve as storage aswell. Fort Firmo is a small, but necessary fort, as logistics is always a huge key component in warfighting. 2nd Battalion is committed on keeping Seawatch safe, and supporting ourselves and allies in this continuous operation. (Patrols will begin shortly, currently waiting upon the arrival of newer feild equiptment)

    MAWLR Fields MOC

    16 copies of this MOC in UE5 make the bricks count close to half a million! That consume more than 90% of my 32GB RAM, so I stop adding bricks to prevent passible pc crash. A bit lagging in 4K resolution too. It should get higher frame rate if using ai frame generation function. I will upgrade to 64 GB RAM and try to make one million bricks stress test soon. My pc is a mid-hi end pc, vram10 ram32, 1500 USD +- for now. 8 copies of this MOC in UE5 is smoother. It seems reach 4K 60fps in game.
  20. See: the Temple of Doom meltdown that is still occurring 13 months later on certain parts of the Internet. I mean, I wanted that set too, but that was a whole fiasco.

    [MOC] Moveable railway bridge

    Ah, design constraints to satisfy the consumer... (grin). I do like your brick built solutions and there might be a way to either fill the gap at the end of the rail or use the tiles to nudge the wheels over, but at some point it is pragmatic to just get to playing. If the 2 stud offset ever bothers you you can probably get fractional track lengths from TrixBrix or similar to bring it back into grid. The rule of thumb I've heard and live by is to have at least one straight segment between a curve and a switch to prevent trains from "picking the switch," i.e., derail. The curve right into the gap might give you a similar problem on the near side of the above photo. At any rate the design looks great
  22. You're right, this does deserve more comments! It is a very nicely done model with an interesting topic, combing good looks and interesting functionality! Also really nice presentation
  23. Oh, so we actually know what that hub will look like! Very interesting, but the all-in-one nature of the hub is disappointing. I wonder how much power it'll actually have! Looking forward to watching that video

    Looking amazing. Now you just need about 100 PFE reefers and you're all set
