I see four banana colours: red on the roof, yellow on the training dummy, gold on the statue in the temple, and tan on one of the Minions.

It would be interesting if TLG released an electric/hybrid model with a fake electric motor; that is, something simillar to the classic fake piston engine, but with a brick-built rotor connected to the drivetrain that spins when you move the model. In fact, the 42115 could get something simillar if it's the Sian (since it's hybrid).

Technic 2020 Set Discussion
Kaanere replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That's not an Osprey, though. It's a Leonardo AW609, an aircraft with a simillar rotor configuration but otherwise completely different (it's 10 tons lighter, for instance). Also, Bell is no longer involved in the project, so now Leonardo (AgustaWestland) should be the company TLG should adress to license it; however, Bell is the company that TLG has licensed, so it must be the V-22. That, or the V-280 Valor, which still hasn't entered service with the US army. -

They will, since all leaks and toy fair reports have pointed out to a Bell-licensed aircraft, and it wouldn't make sense to just make a fictional aircrft. What they seem to be doing is avoid any military marks or armaments on the set (according to Toy Fair reporters), so they can get arround selling a military aircraft. -
Talking about suspension, it seems that the Aventador and Sian use Pushrod suspension, instead of the conventional double-wishbone suspension of the Chiron and 911. So there's one more element where 42115 can be different to those. (This is the suspension of an Aventador, but the Sian should use a similar system)

We don't have an official name for the Lambo, either. Anyways, I took the liberty to make a thread for the set: -
Notice that on the box the bed and the cabin are at different angles. So at least it has an articulated chassis. No signs of any suspension beyond that.

According to Zusammengebaut the set also contains the west and east wings of the White house, and not just the Executive residence (what the old set represented and what most people recognize as White House):

There was an infographic showing a PU two output dumb battery box a few years ago along with the City and Technic hubs, back when PU was being introduced to City trains. Haven't been able to find it, though.

I ask because the set has potential for some interesting suspension, kinda like the Arocs:

Do you remember if it has suspension? And if so, what kind?

With that age rating I guess it will include the secret orgy room . Jokes aside, I'm not particularly excited for it. It's yet another neoclassic American landmark, and one that has been made into a set before.

42112 Concrete Mixer Truck
Kaanere replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
So Zusammengebaut just confirmed the concrete mixer. 42112 concrete mixer truck , 99.99 euros, release in August -
That's nothing that Software can't solve. For example, the motor joiner cable could have an internal chip that communicates the hub that it's connected to two motors, and could multiplex the information of both to the hub.

An V-22? That one is a military-only aircraft. Even if the designers remove all references to military service, it's still a first for TLG to release a set of a current military vehicle. Also, this is a possible paint scheme in black and orange (minus the Marines inscriptions, of course): Also, could it be an AW609? It's a civillian aircraft similar to the V-22, and was partly developed by Bell (Although Bell is no longer involved). It's reasonable to mistake the two, although I don't think that they would market it as a Bell. Finally, a Bell license opens the door for other Textron Aviation licenses, such as Cessna, Hawker and Beechcraft.

Kaanere replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This goes against the leak on the 42112 being a "Bentonmischer" (cement mixer). Also, I don't think that Lamborghini would name a car just "Supercar" (although maybe Ferrari...). Has this site ever been a source in the past? -

Kaanere replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
IIRC that was just speculation on our part. The F&F rumor seems to be consistent, and has even been reported on by a few blogs, even if there's no consensus on what theme it will be or exactly what car will come. So we'll see . -
Technic 2020 Set Discussion
Kaanere replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
All rumors until now were pointing towards the Mitsubishi Eclipse as a Technic F&F set though, not the Charger. So maybe, just maybe, we could get both a Creator Charger and a Technic Eclipse to recreate the ending race of the first movie. -
Tokyo looks great, although it bothers me slightly that the Skytree isn't to scale. It should be almost twice as tall as the Tokyo Tower: Anyways, it's great that they put a bit of Japanese traditional architecture, even if they're dwarfed by the towers. The mini Mount Fuji at the background is a nice touch too. From left to right, I think that the buildings in Tokyo are: the Sensoji temple Pagoda, Tokyo Tower, Mode Gauken Cocoon Tower, Zohoji Temple, Mt. Fuji, Shibuya crossing (?), Skytree, (I can't identify the building at the far right).
