    It'll quickly get outdated, though...
  2. AVCampos
    But at least this way we get new giant gear and wheels to MOC with. That alone makes me happy about the set.
  3. AVCampos
    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...
  6. AVCampos
    But, unlike the Osprey, there are plenty of civilian versions as well, so we're safe in that front.
  7. AVCampos
    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.
  8. AVCampos
    The "18+" classification isn't affected by price or complexity, but more by target audience. An example of that is 42223.
  9. AVCampos
    Either that, or an upscaled replica; do we have dimensions, price or part count for the set yet?
  10. AVCampos
    That description sounds a lot like 8110. I wonder what innovations it has besides the cab design?

    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).
  12. AVCampos
    I greatly approve his appointment. I also greatly approve his choice of T-shirt for that photo.

    Wasn't the problem with regular reddish brown instead of dark, and wasn't that problem solved years ago?
  14. AVCampos
    Well, there are rumours of a LEGO Icons Jaguar E-Type... given that it's an old-school car, are you expecting it to not be curvy?

    The links to the PDFs appear to have expired, but the JPGs that originated them are still live, here: https://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.php?f=492469 I think I'll reupload them to Bricksafe, considering how shaky Brickshelf has been. [edit] Here they are: https://www.bricksafe.com/pages/AVCampos/others/8448-alternate-bodies

    The site is down for me too.
  17. AVCampos
    Same here.
  18. AVCampos
    I'm not having any problems with the site either.

    Maybe it's a regular wheeled bike, with the chain driving an engine? There appears to be a normal tyre at the rear. Anyway, it's a good cheap source of those still uncommon 12T spur gears. And, comparing to the red 2L axle in the engine, the fuel tank, back of the seat and mudguard appear to be reddish orange.

    You can try out this fork of BC2: https://github.com/vicocz/brickcontroller2/releases (scroll down to "Assets", click it, and download and install the APK)
  21. AVCampos
    That's my suspicion as well. Perhaps we'll finally see usage of all 4 front LEDs in an official set? As for the rear LEDs, I'd rather see them used for flame effects than boring tail lights.
  22. AVCampos
    If so, at least it'll have an interesting steering mechanism.
  23. AVCampos
    Yes, the RCX can be controlled via this IR remote: https://rebrickable.com/parts/upn0200/control-unit-rcx-remote/ ... and the topic has now officially deralied from 2026 to 1999. 😅

    Actually, the implementation of autonomy on 8448 is a pair of bumper sensors that let it know if it hit something on the left or right side, so I have a slight feeling that it wouldn't be quite well accepted in real life.
  25. AVCampos
    Well, it's probably not as heavy, but 8448 did come with instructions for motorisation with a single 9V motor (twin motors optional), and even autonomous driving with an RCX.
