Can someone check if this wheel cap fits this wheel rim?

The only two machinery sets that have more than 4000pcs (42082, 42100) don't really have more than 4000 pcs either. 42082 has a prefab house and 42100 has 100 pieces of rubbles, which I suspect are added only to bloat the part count so that they can be marketed as "biggest Technic set to date" at their time of release.

There's a historical meaning behind that color so if the supposed leak info is correct TLG will have to reproduce that shade.

Or TLG can do a troll and make it in reddish brown (3L stop axle's color). The world premiere version's color is kinda like reddish brown.

Try mini replicas

A licensed tractor truck and a 5-slot trailer. Also a good chance to introduc Mercedes Benz Actros.

Also it allows my mini 42039 to be built in the correct color instead of lime.

It turns out that the solution is very simple. The checkout function is only not available simply because my account's shipping address is in VN. Once I've changed my address, the checkout button is avaialble again. No need for VPN or any fancy tech.

I'm using a VPN and changed my location to both Singapore and Netherlands but the checkout function is still not available. This is getting more annoying than I expected.

Hopefully this will be translated into bright green and not lime.

At least a green Bugatti Chiron may bring a bright green mudguard, which will be of help for my mini 42224.

I never ordered from any VNmese store because there arent many, and the few that exist all focus on minifigs or System parts.

The good news is that I can still visit stores and put items into carts. Only the checkout part is unavailable. I guess I can just put all I want from a shop into the cart, create an XML list based on that, and ask the shop to prepare the order accordingly.

It's already Feb 1st and Bricklink apparently still works in my country, for some reasons. Not that I'm complaining haha. Edit: Nvm it's no longer available...

How does the Artemis Rocket stay in place then

Not sure if there is anything worth waiting for. The lineup of the whole year is mostly revealed. The only notable mystery is the next 1:8 car, assuming there will be another one, and the flagship, also assuming there will be one. There was no proper flagship in 2021, and the biggest set in 2024 (not counting the 1:8 car) is the MB G77, which may not be considered a proper flagship.

The design of the clamshell buckets is as follows. The hardest part was the liftarm linkages that drive the bucket pieces. They have to be asymmetrical, because the black 12z gears are not inserted at the same time. The right one is inserted first, then the left one is inserted later to make sure that the left bucket aligns with the right one. Also, the liftarm linkages must not interfere with one another during their movements to push the bucket open.

Can anyone with the wormgear and the new nut connector confirm if the nut can be slided freely along the worm gear?

Hi everyone, this is a follow-up from that big question from RacingBrick

Mighty machines be more like Might be machines...

They serve a higher purpose so they will get their proper premier when the time comes, no need to be sorry And those wheels are not exactly wheels At that scale there's no wheel size that fits, so I used these instead. They did quite an effective job at creating the impression of wheels.

These are not created for TC30 and I'm not gonna submit these for TC30 since I don't have the parts to buid them anyway, but I'm just sharing them here to hype the competition up

I'm not sure I get what you meant by that but since you seem to like it here's what it looks like on the other side

Indeed, my regular shop told me they would still ship to me. For other shops I think I'd shoot them an inquiry email before placing orders.

Bundling these 5 new creations for one (supposed) last order from Bricklink. After Jan 31 Bricklink Marketplace won't be available in my country, but Im not quitting Technic any time soon. I suppose I can use VPN to change my location, or use BrickOwl, or just ask someone else to order for me.
