  1. Interesting. Will the bar still fit inside, or are they following the trend of making the holes more square shaped?
  2. And I’m finished A ton of nice building techniques as usual and built like a tank. As you might notice I used the wheels from the Defender because I don’t think Bugatti/Sian wheels look good, but I might consider swapping them with a set of Porsche wheels. I think the R32 is just a little bit behind the NSX for me, mostly because of the gearbox. It’s just got a bit more of that “wow” factor, being built completely transversely. All three of them are incredible though. Anyway, it’s another very nice addition to the collection. PS: On page 272 you can’t actually use a 3L friction pin to join the two bars together. You either have to use a 2L one or a 3L frictionless (what I did). I guess whichever brand your pin was did allow this, but not LEGO’s
  3. Nice work so far. I will definitely look forward to any progress.
  4. I think it’s this one: https://rebrickable.com/parts/32489/large-figure-skeletal-torso-gearbox/
  5. 42127 and 42130 just got listed on Stonewars.de website: https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-technic-sommer-2021/ 42127 is like 42126 just called "IP vehicle", but interestingly enough this one is not marked 18+. The American RRP is $99.99 USD. The only info is that it's from a movie. Coming fall 2021. 42130 has absolutely no info besides that it exists.
  6. I think you mean this site: https://www.brickhello.com/post/2019/05/07/identifying-fake-lego-technic-parts-guide
  7. Just noticed a previously very rare part just returned in Star Wars set 75301. Hard to see in the pictures, but it includes 8 of the white 41678
  8. According to Zusammengebaut, the CAT bulldozer has 6898 pieces Also includes 4 motors and 1 hub. https://zusammengebaut.com/live-ticker-keine-spielwarenmesse-2021-alle-lego-neuheiten-113557/ Photos will follow, they say.
  9. You can also find 8048 which has two of those steering hubs and the 3L rack usually for €20-€30
  10. I found it highly unlikely that both of those reviews actually bought one. Especially the first one, which was placed on the same day it became available for sale. And did anyone actually read the reviews on the LEGO website before purchasing, instead of reading/watching Sariel, RacingBrick, Jim or whoever reviews sets regularly?
  11. You can just import the io file to Rebrickable. Or in the top right you can export it directly to a Bricklink wanted list.
  12. The instructions look like a nice challenge. I will put it on my list and (probably) build it in DBG
  13. @Aleh He mentions on the sales page that the Studio file is included, which you can use to generate a parts list Instructions purchased, let’s see how this goes
  14. The instructions look great! Can't wait to build it.
  15. Fantastic B model! I agree with the above that the sides are the weak point of this model, but the front and rear are fantastic. I would love to see this in a full dark azure color spec.
  16. These kind of parts have been getting renewed recently. You can tell by the glossy finish. Only time will tell if they are as weak as the old ones though.
  17. I messaged them back in June, I got almost exactly the same reply, but in Dutch.
  18. I recently built my second Sian with the mods by @jb70 and @astyanax . Mine would be November/December batch I think, it didn’t come in the original brown LEGO box because I bought it from a reseller. The only issues that one had was the 15100/22961 (like always) and the lime #21 panels like @XenoRad mentioned. I just swapped those out from my other Sian which did have them in the correct color, and now it’s pretty much all in one color. Still room for improvement, but I can definitely live with this.
  19. This is how 42115 should have been! The instructions were challenging which I prefer over the dead simple LEGO set instructions (but maybe a bit too much for beginners), and the result looks much nicer than the original and it has actual playability too. And the original (which I will soon disassemble for MOCs) besides the modded and improved version: As last area that could be improved, the doors still have room for improvement. Because of the way the hinge is built the doors move inwards when opened when they should actually go out. And maybe the side skirts could have a better flowing line into the 13/14 panels just in front of the rear wheels.
  20. Lego changed the design of that part quite a while ago, maybe 15 years by now. The old black and white 5.5 axles are perfect 5.5, but the new ones are slightly longer for some reason. You can differentiate them by the flat ''short'' end of the axle, the new one is more rounded.
  21. It’s most likely the dimensions of the boxes.
  22. Hm, I wonder if it’s another F&F car... If I am not mistaken Fast 9 will release this summer.
  23. I'm guessing 42128 will be similar to 8285 in terms of scale. It has been a while since we have seen a truck in this scale, last would be 42043 from 6 years ago...
