General Part Discussion
AVCampos replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You mean, for example, if the rider applies torque to the pedals while the rear wheel is stuck in sand or mud? In a real bike, the tension the spokes are under takes care of that, but in the LEGO version with LEGO tolerances that may be an issue. -
General Part Discussion

That part will be lovely for multiplexers, pullback motors that don't use the dedicated part, and large helicopter rotors. As a model, the bike doesn't attract me, but the new elements it brings sure are yummy! -
If I'm not mistaken, that's Chris Stamp, who used to lead Speed Champions... which is all about licensed cars.

I can easily see it: the top conveyor belt directly connected to the bucket wheel on one end and a crank on the other. Any other functions would be manual. The set as a whole would be way smaller than 42055, obviously.

It'll quickly get outdated, though...

But at least this way we get new giant gear and wheels to MOC with. That alone makes me happy about the set. -

Many Icons sets are unlicensed. -
Moulds are created optimised for a given material. Often the choice is between a material that allows for more colours but not transparent ones, or one that allows transparency but less overall colours. Possibly the mould used for the headlights is of the former category, and hopefully the headlights are at least glow-in-the-dark instead of plain white. Could that be dual-moulded? I don't believe TLG has us apply stickers on such a complex shape, and reflections can't explain such large difference in apparent brightness in the surfaces of the part.

Uh...

But, unlike the Osprey, there are plenty of civilian versions as well, so we're safe in that front.
-
If it does, it'll be at the same scale and invariably people will decry it as a lazy rehash, just like they did with 42132/42225.
-
The "18+" classification isn't affected by price or complexity, but more by target audience. An example of that is 42223.
-
Either that, or an upscaled replica; do we have dimensions, price or part count for the set yet?
-
That description sounds a lot like 8110. I wonder what innovations it has besides the cab design?

Grohl's Creations

The first names that pop in my mind are Markus Kossmann and Jørn Thomsen, but, after a quick search on the latter's set list, I was surprised to learn he didn't actually design Technic sets (although I know he helped with some, such as 42179).
