    No chance the Jeep will be motorised - it’s only €50. If it was, we’d expect to pay nearly twice that, if the bs TLG pulled with 42109 is any indication.

    Because licensing sells. I’m expecting normal balloon tyres tbh

    Doubt it - pretty sure they got a lawsuit from Boeing when they released 60021

    Shame that the small excavator won't have pneumatics, would've been nice
  5. Bartybum
    This is amazing man, I’m tempted to get 42100 just to build this. I love the idlers
  6. Bartybum
    I just want small and medium sets with pneumatics
  7. Bartybum
    Nah hell no, there’s a dude here that cannibalises his Lego with robotics and custom mechanical parts to make really cool stuff. All flavours welcome as long as it’s majority Lego

    That just adds another function to a set that already has 8 other functions. I could really only see another backhoe flagship as being pneumatic like 8455, but with a motorised compressor

    I thought about it for a bit a while back, but if we want a full RC backhoe with CLAAS tyres, we need a new cable splitter for PU. At the CLAAS wheel scale you can have a minimum of five motors, one of which runs a gearbox alternating between drive/tipper and backhoe modes. And at that scale it'd be a challenge to fit two smart hubs, a gearbox and five motors that all route through the gearbox :S

    Yeah because it looked and functioned like trash lmao. Something like these would've been much better received: Spider cranes can't be small sets if they have the large tread links
  11. Bartybum
    But 2-3 cars a year? That's just unrealistic and would be a waste of TLG's resources at that point...
  12. Bartybum
    Of course Boeing would C&D for that, the greedy c***s... Epitome of corporate dickwaddery

    They'd be better suited to Speed Champions or Creator Expert imo. Technic should be functional, and the 42093 is anything but
  14. Bartybum
    Oh lol my bad
  15. Bartybum
    Surely only as a $10-20 set though, right? It's a very boring contraption
  16. Bartybum
    Ah I see, my bad

    Not that they failed, but the first production run of LAs had a clutch that tripped too early. But "how do we fix the sets that are at the shops" is inherently at odds with recalling for military licensing concerns. In one case you seek to repair and get it back out, and in the latter you're only concerned with removing it from shelves.

    Bit sure there @Gray Gear lol. I'm gonna continue the discussion because what the hell why not lmao. Someone way back in this thread put it this way: Imagine you're TLG. You've just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into designing a product. Why would you suddenly cancel the entire production line because of one catastrophic, yet easily fixable design flaw?? Sure TLG's a bit dumb sometimes, but they're not THAT dumb. Instead, you halt production, fix the issue, then start up production again, issuing replacement pieces free of charge to anyone that got their hands on an early model. The same logistical problem happened with 8043 when its actuators were discovered to be shit. I think the executive board got cold feet because of the licensing issue, and they pulled the plug because they changed their minds at the last moment. I definitely think Lego is more than willing to stretch the truth, but not to outright lie.

    I don’t wanna sound pushy but please do it. Everyone here uploads their images to an external hosting website - nobody uses zips because nobody wants to download a zip just to look at images, then have to keep the zip hanging around in case they want to look at the pictures again in the future. I’m pretty sure you can embed albums, but if not then it’s not much more effort to paste each link here individually unless you have like 20+ photos
  20. Bartybum
    @LegoM4 can you upload them to imgur instead and send an album link? A zip file isn’t convenient
  21. Bartybum
    Hell yeah, mission to rescue the Great Spirit, Mata Nui himself
  22. Bartybum
    Agreed, 1k pieces is probably excessive. Something in the 500-750 range like the 42040 Fire Plane would be more appropriate for a biplane. A Cessna-type GA aircraft would be much more appropriate for 1k+ pieces, with openable doors and cockpit controls
  23. Bartybum
    Those aren't Lego, nor are they Technic, so I doubt any of us would know. Sorry
  24. Bartybum
    No it isn't, 42043 doesn't use rocker bogies
  25. Bartybum
    Nah don't do it like 42070, that's shit. Do proper rocket bogie suspension like in the real A60H
