Infuriating Details
LvdH replied to SirSpoony's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I would be okay with it if they didn’t cost €150 and €180, respectively. -
42131 - CAT D11 Bulldozer
LvdH replied to Maaboo the Witch's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Not saying I disagree, but you’re comparing apples to oranges. The Porsche had an RRP €330 in the Netherlands. The CAT will eventually get a significant price reduction as well. Take the Liebherr as example: it’s not difficult to find it for €300 new in box. That’s 33% off RRP. -

42131 - CAT D11 Bulldozer
LvdH replied to Maaboo the Witch's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I don’t know why people keep saying LEGO wants to avoid (or in this case “fake”) leaks to prevent knockoff companies from copying their sets. I highly doubt knockoff companies would be able to copy this from just a few photos. Especially sets this dense and this big. Besides they don’t really bother with official sets as much (they don’t even have the Liebherr, for example), they focus more on MOCs because those will sell far better. -

That is true. I’ll have to order a few when they become available. On the subject of those parts, Rebrickable now has a V2 inventory of the Sian with the only difference being the parts (like above) that had the biggest color inconsistencies. I’m wondering when this was added because it has to be quite recent, and also if LEGO has finally cracked down the color inconsistency issues of those parts especially. https://rebrickable.com/sets/compare/slow/?1-set=42115-1&1-inv=63571&1-user_list=&2-set=42115-1&2-inv=109145&2-user_list=- 5,507 replies

Advice on Publishing Premium MOCs?
LvdH replied to amorti's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Rebrickable is a massive site. You really need to build something groundbreaking for it to be a big success. I’m not saying your build is lame, I actually quite like it. It’s definitely something unique. But it’s in all honesty not as impressive as Bruno’s McLaren P1 or TLego’s Lamborghini Centenario, or Madoca’s MOCs for example. 1. They’re quite normal as far as I am concerned. You can probably find some more motorcycles on Rebrickable and look at how many views it has gotten. Of course it says nothing about sales, but it can give you an idea of what reach they gain. 2. In my opinion, it’s decent. The description is definitely good, but the video not so much. Mostly because of the portrait filming. 3. I haven’t built it or seen the instructions (except the two sample pages), but it’s around what I would expect to pay for a motorcycle. 4. Quite simply, motorcycles don’t excite me. I’ve never built one or even own any of the official sets. The concept of your MOC is great though. -

I have a hard time figuring out when that part would be more useful than a 1x1 round plate with the stud inserted into a technic pin hole. To me it seems to stick out just as much. But I don't know if it's considered a "legal" building technique..- 5,507 replies

The pump is already available. I don’t think it will be long until the cylinder is also available at a reasonable price (€6-€7 or something).- 5,507 replies

They don't have them. It's not in stock (at least where I live), just like the pneumatic cylinder above. The 2x11 ones were available for €6 or something so I don't see why these won't get a price correction when they become available. You can usually call LEGO to order out of stock parts and they'll update the price.- 5,507 replies

That price has been the same for over a year. I would expect it to change some time soon, when they become available.- 5,507 replies

[MOC][WIP] Nissan 180SX Type X
LvdH replied to Gray Gear's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have a feeling this won’t be as easy as it sounds due to the extremely limiting LEGO color palette. Not that anyone can build this anyway without paint or 3rd party parts, but would still be difficult I think. -

[MOC][WIP] Nissan 180SX Type X
LvdH replied to Gray Gear's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The vents looks great! Very clean bodywork as usual. It might be just me but I prefer the 3x11 panel over the beam stacking. Although neither looks ugly tbh. -
42126 - Ford F150 Raptor
LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Orange looks good, but man would I have liked the dark blue one! Actually it also has design differences I just noticed. Lightbar, bullbar, and overal cleaner front. Why did they have to change the design? -

@Jundis I have no idea. This is what I posted way back in February and nothing has been leaked or revealed since then. Maybe they’re delayed? -
[REVIEW] 42128 - Heavy-duty Tow Truck
LvdH replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is the best set of the year (so far) imo. Great looks, great functionality, pneumatics (always a plus in my book) and fair pricing. The set looks much better without stickers imo. The leaked photos had different stickers, which did look better. The ones that come with the set look too “toy-ish”.
