    For me, a set that makes me love rebuilding it has to meet the following criteria: - Do not take too long - Have some techniques that make me delighted - Not have some techniques that put me off - (Optional) The final result looks delightful Hence at the moment 42052 is the winner for me. Other sets that meet the above to me are 42042, 42043 minus the pneumatic crane, and 42009 B model. I'm not really into building the 42009 A model because its outrigger forces the 16L axles to bend, it doesn't work very smoothly, and it lacks realistic details. Other sets of mine include: 8043, 9398, 8070, 42030, 42025, 42040.

    Why 8288 when you can have 42042

    The 42009 doesn't have much lifting capacity, so I doubt it can help. I have one, and once tried to get it lift a keychain consisting of just two small keys. The winch struggled a lot.

    According to Sariel, the mine truck in this set is designed from scratch, not a copy of the yellow 42035. And it seems the white truck contains something the yellow one doesn't.

    Oh dear, the resemblance is beyond words!!

    And considering the fixes are so simple, so easy to do....

    I think both swapping axles and changing the catchover directions are being put in place deliberately by TLG, so that people can tinker with it and discover the right way, just like some people like to tinker with their cars. As the video points out, it just doesnt make any sense at all to use a catchover when a 2M liftarm can totally serve its place.

    That is pure genius.

    The BWE is the flagship model.

    Is it the trans-blue of the water bricks in the Fire Plane?

    All the more reason to skip the Porsche and wait for a better Ultimate car.
  12. Ngoc Nguyen
    My oh my oh my you have the other 3 sets already! Hey Sariel, can you please at least describe the BWE's box in comparison to the Arocs box? I mean, is the BWE's box the same with the Arocs box in terms of height, width, and depth, or is it bigger in any dimension?

    Did they say a series of car sets or just a series of sets?

    No one in the right mind would think that selling 8070 is enough to buy the Porsche haha. Of course I'll have to put it some money as well.
  15. Ngoc Nguyen
    I'm planning to sell my 8070 and replace it with this Porsche.

    Actually Uwe designed the 24 Hour Race Car and the Volvo Loader. Your saying is mean.
  17. Ngoc Nguyen
    WOW I didn't know how big the Claas is until BrickWild posted that photo. The wheel alone is as tall as an adult! It's probably as large as the Volvo loader's wheel.

    That happens regardless of what gear mode is engaged or what the sequence is. TLG's statement is just pure bollocks.
  19. Ngoc Nguyen
    If so, do you have any suggestion for how the B model can perform the brick sorting function? I can't figure it out...
  20. Ngoc Nguyen
    That sarcasm is cracking me up
  21. Ngoc Nguyen
    I haven't yet seen any website or post that labeled the Porsche "flagship". Brickset even gives the flagship label to the BWE, not the Porsche. And I'm certain that most of the people here doesn't think of the Porsche as the flagship either.

    Ultimate Claas Xerion is Ultimate!
  23. Ngoc Nguyen
    The wait is excruciating!!
  24. Ngoc Nguyen
    Yeah I'm talking about the reverse-engineered one on techlug. Maybe it's all because of the old 3L connector.
  25. Ngoc Nguyen
    Maybe the problem with the gearbox built by the techlug guy only happens because he doesn't use the new connector, simple as that.
