Hi, I'd like to join the reviewers academy

Thanks, considering your points above and by what is seen of 42056 so far how is it doing? Also curious to know, though off-topic, how does 42039 do in the same fields?

So I understand from what u explained that it made the best step, but there are currently slightly better (superficially) .

Great idea!

So guys are you saying that 8880 is the best to date? This amazes me as someone who didn't ever meet any LEGO supercar. With all those Ferraris and many other big sporty cars, the old one which looks an old collection of black technic bricks tops all?! I want to get it in this case.

1:01 Is that Putin or what?

u mean B model for the Claas Xerion

I would prefer to take the pain of removing these parts, washing the model, and put back.

Thank you all. 2LegoOrNot2Lego I really like your name

All of a sudden while at work, this idea came to me and I got so interested. Objectives: Bus as 42008 C Model Good looking as much as I can include bus details as much as I can pneumatic door and baggage driven by pump compressor motorized drive as a 3rd function (what else a bus has to offer?) manual steering easily removable battery Parts: approximately 930 parts out of 1276 Build time: around 3 weeks Limitations C Model, hence no parts outside 42008 allowed 42008 presents the folloing challenges: not enough lift arms to build a floor in the passenger area managing the available quantities of Green and Red beams to build the bus body and make a good choice where green and where red goes. weak pneumatics I'm new and this is my 1st serious try, I only built 42008 before this. In general I'm satisfied by the end product. Next are things I think could be better: hiding the pneumatic hoses, got lazy at that. sliding baggage door, (couldn't figure out how to do that) more sturdy/smooth steering two doors rather than one using the white gear I may try to enhance this later (as a free MOC), but for now I will go to build some car sets to learn more about vehicle functions. I will start with 42029. Thank you for having a look. Remaining parts (around 340)

So is the Roller coaster size known and how many pieces?

41134 heartlake performance school is going to be the new biggest Friends?

Many important stuff to learn.. Thanks.

Effort appreciated and thanks to mjs10 to bring this back to life, I wouldn't have noticed this post although I'm here since October. The comments also gave me 2 hints (buildable from 42029 and about learning axle steering and independant suspension) Suggestion to Jim: include this as review of the set in the index. Which hasn't any.

I agree that "Time" is the most valuable resource LEGO eats greedily.

Cool discussion. What comes to my mind though is how much TLG have restrictions in their designs because of kids safety. Perhaps they know AFOLs are upset with weakness, slowness,..etc but TLG would then say they are adults and can do MODs and can afford buying extra parts to enhance the model, with good side effect of increased sales ( the modder buys motors, parts, or 2x,3x, 10x sets for instance). A share of that goes also to BL stores.

Do we know yet the teeth count of the new turntable?

Looks nice. Can you post more pictures?

I don't think "most", this is exaggeration.

I actually know something about 2017. Its the year I intend to buy 2016 - 2H sets

By taking piece count ratio with the Arocs, this set would be about 6.5Kg. The BWE alone then would be (subtract the truck, the box, and the instructions) around 4.5kg.

Reviews have to wait until August, but the vastness of the current event really deserves few articles from the pros here.

This set is very rich functionally and very useful for new ones like me. I think every new Technic AFOL who is hesitant to start with his joy would be convinced by seeing this mechanical monster. From my short experience, its much easier to produce good looks than great functions.
