    Yeah it should be able to be done with hue changes :D

    @agrof Can you try in white gold/tan + black like below? https://goo.gl/images/Wv5q9M

    Does anyone know what the turning radius is like when you remove the front axle CV joints?

    Also guys, check out S@H for Canada. It’s $400CAD. Here in Australia it’s $600. Our exchange rates are 1:1. What the absolute hell? I swear we get ripped off for pricing.

    I dunno why but the more I look at the set the more flattened and oddly shaped it seems ):

    @TeamThrifty Apparently the guy sitting next to Sariel in his livestream said they would be

    I honestly don’t think I care that they got leaked because it meant I got to see what it looked like a week early, so for me it was worth it. It was a dumb move on TLG’s behalf to send them out to stores before reveal and not expect them to try sell it early, especially since it happens so often.

    There’s a tailpipe joke in here somewhere D:

    So from the 42083 threads apparently the new orange rotary gear selectors are in 42082 as well, but I don’t know see how that could be

    @agrof Because his W16 looks way nicer than what they went with, pretty much the only reason. Also, I don’t think flex axles would necessarily ruin the overall picture. Just to replace the god-awful use of fenders on the front. I think it could work if it was appropriately mixed with panels
  11. Bartybum
    @Didumos69 I want to see you put in your version of the W16. I’d also like to see if anyone can improve the front bodywork with flex axles

    Hang on but how? From the stickers on the gearboxes on 42082, they all point to the set using the standard red gear selectors. None of the gearboxes appear to be cyclic

    Man it’s $600 here in Australia RIP all hopes of getting it
  14. Bartybum
    Are they? :O I thought one could buy shares in them? EDIT: Right you are, they’re private. Either way my point still stands hehe

    @Renown Don’t we already get three UCS sets a year?

    Lego’s a public company. It would be completely uncharacteristic to not take advantage of Bugatti’s brand prestige.

    I mean, if there’s an alternative to using solvents for plastic modelling that achieves the same results then why bother with solvents?
  18. Bartybum
    Honestly I think that’s what happened here; it’s probably just a preorder at the moment. There’s no way they’d have a manufacturing line up and running for it already. Let’s be real though, it was gonna be bootlegged anyway

    So 8 speed sequential gearbox? God damn that’s crazy
  20. Bartybum
    I didn’t believe you first but damn you’re right. That’s crazy. That being said, the MOCability is gonna be badly affected if anyone wants to make it in a different colour scheme not involving dark blue :( I like to think about it this way. This sort of price gouging is fine because anyone who’s gonna spend that kinda money on a set without looking elsewhere is almost always the kind of person who doesn’t care and can afford to be gouged. And because the ratio of sets that end up being sold as gouges to sets that end up being sold normally is so small, it doesn’t affect the larger market.

    Just saw some photos on Reddit of the fully built Chiron. The front may not be 100% accurate but the whole build still looks amazing
  22. Bartybum
    Early leakers would only get sued if there were monetary damages as a result, which in this case there pretty much aren’t. Also, I’m inclined to say that the higher ups at TLG that are disappointed really should have seen this coming. This whole taboo they created surrounding the Chiron, plus shipping them out to stores before the unveiling was the perfect breeding ground for leaks - It’s textbook human temptation.

    I don’t remember there being any bending in other pictures, I reckon it’s just because of the page
  24. Bartybum
    I don’t think it matters. The gears are hidden, who cares what colour they are?
  25. Bartybum
    An auto gearbox isn’t too hard actually, just it’s very different from what you’d find in a car. One way is to use a differential that shifts gear combinations just like a manual gearbox, but it does so depending on how much torque is required - the more torque needed, the lower the gear goes. It’s quite simple but takes up quite an amount of space. Only thing is, I don’t think the new rotary mechanism would be useful for an auto gearbox with more than two gears.
