    Milan said he didnt work on any set of 1H, so I'm placing my bet on the idea that he worked on the car transporter.

    I'd say 800 pieces would go to two generic cars. The remaining 1700 pieces is enough for a truck similar to like MrTekneex MOC but with 49.53 tyres. Take the Corvette, remove all the fancy bodywork, the drive shaft, the engine, maybe the steering and HOG too, and voila, you have a 400 piece generic car. Leaving the generic car with a HOG may cause difficulty in driving in up and down the ramp. In real life when cars go up and down the ramp, they dont need steering either. The Race Kart 42048 only has 345 pieces.

    To further on this, I think the two-section joint will unfold and the rack will extend simultaneously. Similar to the way the outriggers in 42078 trailer are deployed.

    I dont think the spider crane would be motorized because it has only 900 pieces. Not likely to have pneumatic either, as the cycle of pneumatic sets is 2-3 years. I'd say its functions are all manual.

    If there is gonna be a RC excavator with big new sprockets and new pneumatic valved I'd say it's the 2020 flagship, not 2019, because there must be a 4000-ish piece set next year to outnumber the piece count of the 3000-ish 3rd supercar next year, and RC pneumatic gigantic Volvo excavator really suits that role.

    Back to 2019 1H, I've just realized that the white pin hole with axle in the landing axle in this should have switched place with the black version in the hood of this

    I think the car transporter will include at least one generic car to demonstrate how it works. It may be a recolored Corvette or its B model, like the way 42055 includes a recolored 42035.

    I was really hoping for this but since it's just 2500 pieces maybe what we're gonna get is just this replace loader with car. The composition is probably similar to that of the Mack truck. Replace white trailer with car.

    If 42093 were branded as a generic super car I think people wouldnt dislike it that much.

    I didnt expect another crane right after 42082. Since 42082 is the flagship the spider crane is likely to be the set before flagship. Car transporter sounds soooo delicious. I've always been curious how TLG creates one in Technic, as its function seems unattractive. But here it comes! I dont think the spider crane would use the large sprocket. The current large sprocket is in yellow, and new parts tend to be utilized in one color in multiple sets before new color appear. Besides, if the sprocket is yellow, the crane would be yellow, and the telescopic rack holder would have to be in yellow. It's more efficient to make a red or LBG crane. I feel like we're witnessing the golden age of Lego Technic, in which models are getting more realistic, more detailed, and more weird As TLG has gradually exhausted the conventional machinery they're venturing for more exotic beasts. I like this. I think Markus will design the spidercrane (MK V) and Milan will design the car transporter truck. They dont seem to have any creation in 2019 1H.

    42070 and 42077 both have dark azure and white as main colors and red as the accent. 42039 has green and white as main colors and red as accent. Their pallets are similar, so I think a dark azure 42039 would look very pleasing

    After seeing the reviews, I think my buy list for 1H 2019 will include 1x 42092, 2x 42093, 2x 42094. Possible sets after that include 2x 42095, 1x 42096. I'm not sure about buying 42095 because I have two 42065 already, but I wanna do some comparisons between 42065 A, 42065 B, 42095 A, 42095 B, and 8043 B. The 42096 looks nice, but it's just a fancier 42077 to me.
  13. Ngoc Nguyen
    I'll wait for your pictures then. I think a 42070, a 42077 and a 42083 would suffice. 42039 needs 8 curved panels while 42077 only has 7 in dark azure, so maybe you can leave the color incongruity in one rear wheel and hide it with perspective.
  14. Ngoc Nguyen
    I've just realized that 42039 is now almost completely doable in dark azure. The only missing piece is https://brickset.com/parts/design-6536. Anyhow, can anyone attempt a 42039 A in dark azure and share the result? I don't have the 42039, and plan to get one, but don't really like the green.

    Well played... I fell for it.

    I've just realized that this set is similar to 8070. Supercar for A model, Hot Rod for B model.

    Uwe Wabra is a Senior Designer, so his hourly rate ain't cheap Better save the R&D cost you know.

    Has anyone attempted a compact 4-speed gearbox with the new parts from the Bugatti Chiron and put it in the Porsche?
  19. Ngoc Nguyen
    Those big wheels turn out to make the whole body too small compared to the wheels. I think the wheels are of the correct size. It's the wheel arches that are the problem.

    Aurelien said medium azure is his favorite color from now on. Before that, he said he's the kind of designer that would want to make every single set in orange, his previous favorite one.
  21. Ngoc Nguyen
    Probably because of economy of scale. Those pair appear in this set, the Porsche, and the boat.

    @Jim One thing I'd like you to elaborate, if you can, is how the grapple works. There's a liftarm with red bush, so it's supposed to be a lever of some sort, but how exactly do things move when you push and pull the lever?
  23. Ngoc Nguyen
    Impeccable! Magnifiqué! Somptueux, remarquable, de grande qualité! On another note, I think you should include the blue 20z gear in the highlight part. And another note, if we remove the winch in the back and put a PTO output, we will have a mini tracked Claas Xerion.
  24. Ngoc Nguyen
    It appears Jim has pulled the 42094 review down. Poor guy, must be really tired. And I miss the impeccable, magnifiqué, somptueux, remarquable, de grande qualité front view of the cabin.
  25. Ngoc Nguyen
    And I think the curved 13 panel is worth a mention too. This is the second set after the 42056 to include that piece. Maybe 5x11 panels in orange as well.
