    Would've preferred a Brickheadz Porg to be honest. The UCS one definitely looks like a Porg though, even if its mouth is a wee bit big and it looks like it's crying for death lol

    Replace the tracks with legs and we literally have a strandbeest!

    Looks really nice but my friend you need bigger props

    Doesn’t cost per mass generally give a much closer approximation?
  5. Bartybum
    Nah <0.10 is reserved for flagships with heaps of pieces. Actually doing the math here, without PF I’d expect it to be $150AUD, like 42053 was, since they’re at similar piece counts, and that Volvo’s license is pretty cheap from what I’ve seen. If you add the PF components, by S@H prices that raises it by $34, making the set ~$185, not $200. So I guess it isn’t THAT much overpriced, but there’s definitely some price rounding going on which I don’t like.

    Looking good ?? only thing is now to give it a little bit of booty. Those rear bumper panels could also do with a redesign

    @bonox Oh man you just gave me an insane idea. What about a Theo Jansen Strandbeest? I’d like to see Technic start tackling walkers

    @BrickbyBrickTechnic lol I have to admit that’s pretty funny By the way it’s up on S@H now! $200AUD/$150USD, so same price as 42081. Piece cost is $0.20/p though, so really iffy pricing. Parts are about twice as expensive as 42082. Leaving out PF really would’ve helped this set’s cost, but first timers need a cheaper way to get it than 42082. Probably won’t buy until half/a year down the line when it’s cheaper.

    Another problem. If you add the crawler, you need the boosters and EFT, otherwise you just have a lone Shuttle and crawler, and that’s weird. That’s an absolutely giant Technic set, even if the crawler transporter is below scale. Well beyond 4K pieces imo

    Oh hell no matey, 42042 could be so much better, both by size, proportions and functions. I could see Lego doing a 4K part crawler crane. Imagine it having a gearbox that lets you control each track individually.
  11. Bartybum
    @Ngoc Nguyen I dunno how well a crawler transporter would work to be honest. It’s sorta light on functions, don’t you think? Also, add crawler crane to that list.

    Any chance of covering up the remaining gaps above the red flex axles with some small panels, or making the rear look nicer?
  13. Bartybum
    Damn dude that red trim on the sides looks mint ?
  14. Bartybum
    I think I just had an aneurysm reading that in one sentence lmao. But god damn yes that would be beautiful. I wonder whether that would require an XL to run the compressor fast? Also I imagine it would be hella expensíf, so I could go without a flashing light. OH and before I forget, I wanna see Lego announce a partnership with Nooteboom or Scheuerle.

    I was confused earlier at why slewing was driven from an undercarriage gearbox, since the logical choice would be to drive it directly to the turntable from the H-gearbox. Instead, it goes through the turntable, through another gearbox, then back up to the turntable, which generates more energy loss/jitters from long axles. I’m not much of a gearbox nut, but is there anything particularly difficult about an 8H gearbox instead of a 6H gearbox? Is there not enough space in the superstructure to accommodate the extra gearing? I’d like to see someone tackle this, as I’ve seen people do good things to 42083’s gearbox.
  16. Bartybum
    Yeah true that. I’d prefer them to do it in the scale of the 42081 prototypes.
  17. Bartybum
    Independent tracked excavator ala Volvo Sfinx? Probably not the gear quadrants though haha How about a truck and one of those windmill turbine self-steering trailers?
  18. Bartybum
    Because it’s ugly to me. I like when things are in line @TeamThrifty How is it entitled to want a quality product if I’m spending a heap of money for it? @Zerobricks If they don’t work with normal linear actuators then maybe they should have designed a large brickbuilt one. @suffocation I really doubt that... I would’ve been happy to get even more pneumatics, since I don’t think Lego uses them anywhere near enough to begin with.
  19. Bartybum
    Bloody right, hey. This and 42080 have so much fluff.
  20. Bartybum
    Aw man that’s so shit that it can’t go horizontal it looks so ugly
  21. Bartybum
    These pics really make me wish Lego would give designers free reins with specialised parts, especially for smaller sets. Some great looking builds can come from using them. It’s so tiring getting almost nothing but liftarms and panels.
  22. Bartybum
    Oh my god the prototype excavator builds are so amazing. Why Lego whyyyy
  23. Bartybum
    Perhaps the slight jerkiness of the slewing can be fixed by adding more roller bearings and reducing the heavy load on the current 8?
  24. Bartybum
    Oh I didn’t even realise the music lmao. I was watching/listening to a TV doco so I had the volume turned off. EDIT: Also I just realised that at 15:30 the elbow of the arm flexes. What’s up with that @myHeadz?
  25. Bartybum
    Nice review! Do you think you could send some photos of the pages with prototype builds?
