    @Seasider I thought it was 9am Denmark time. At least that's what they said on FB.

    If I wasn't decided whether to buy it or not, now i would be. Wow...

    It seems like it's already on the shelves in Legoland Florida... $350 USD. No wonder there's pictures all over the place if stores put it on the shelf before the release date

    Please don't be a McLaren I'd much rather have a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, maybe even an Audi R8.

    The new driving ring extension is probably to accept the new clutch gears, since the old one doesn't work. I had a chat with Paul earlier this week and he said the gearbox shifting is nowhere near as cool as the Porsche. He also said this gearbox is way better than the Porsche, only complaint being the lack of a center diff. I won't spoil anything else, it's only two more days and you can see for yourself .

    I am sure it works, but as I said it's not exactly a TLG solution.

    Did you read my post?

    I don't think we will because it has a specialised rim to go with it. Sure, they can do it with pins but that doesn't seem like a TLG solution to me.

    Paul said on fb that blue gear is only for reinforcements, not for function... Still, it wouldn't surprise me if that's R, since it is rotating the other direction of the gearbox.

    LEGO has got to be pissed right now... Even more leaks

    That would be very cool and quite likely. Jeroen's Aston Martin DB11 has something like that too, and it's definitely something I hadn't seen before.

    The problem would be that they couldn't start selling it June 1st, like they planned to. And honestly, I'd expect some more loyalty from your employees.

    You're not far off

    As soon as LEGO sells them they'll be no more than 20 cents each.

    That is indeed the case. On the left you can see a different pin (red long axle pin) than on the right (pin with stop bush).

    And the Ship in a bottle from LEGO Ideas had dark turquoise in the stand. It's everywhere, just less visible in some sets I guess...
  17. LvdH
    That's true. It doesn't affect the suspension too much in my experience. 42039 had this too.
  18. LvdH
    It has more than four...

    Actually I am all out of 3L blue pins and blue axle pins . 2L axles are limited as well.

    You can get them in red too. They are expensive, but you'll have some special parts

    I love that engine detail! I am not particularly a fan of the gears that shift the 2 speed gearbox (or high low range shifter). I really dislike having to allign gears so specifically to get a function to work. Still, it's looking like a great gearbox. I think I have said this before but the bodywork does look great! The front has a bit of an Audi feel to it.

    This has already been shared before:

    I personally don't mind colour coding that much. I think colour coded axles are growing on me a bit. I have built Jeroen Ottens' Aston Martin which used this to great effect, essentially creating a Blakbird render in bricks with coloured axles indicating a drivetrain for a function. Of course you can also go overboard, like 42070, but all black isn't helping anyone either. Some parts are good to have colour coded especially for younger builders, like pins and axles.

    Thanks for sharing. It was a nice little read.

    I seriously don't get how you are all able to rate this set so prematurely. We don't even know anything about the features, and one picture simply isn't enough to properly rate it as a whole.
