    I assume it just means that it is part of the category « New » on their website so that you get to see all new sets when selecting this category.

    Wow, this is an epic creation and video! I particularly love the behind the scenes part that really shows the original ideas, size and features of your build.

    A factor that could depreciate the value of recent Technic sets is a change of Power Functions. Suddenly all recent sets, will look old. A bit similar to the studded/studless period. In particular flagship sets and limited editions keep their value and can increase to crazy prices when still sealed. I have for instance decided to give up on obtaining the 41999 because it has just become too expensive for what you get. When you find an extreme good offer of a new set, it could be interesting to buy this set and resell it later. This way you finance other Lego Technic purchases.

    Really cool! This is a set Lego should bring out. It will guarantee hours of fun!

    Thanks for the great review! The build models, the good pictures and your expertise really make this review stand out. Although primarily a Technic builder, I will consider this book ...

    I would go for the Arocs without hesitation. It is a real flagship set and one of the best Lego technic trucks/sets, a real classic. It provides you lots of pieces + PF and pneumatics. Another interesting aspect: there are some excellent C models for this set. What else do you need?

    Thanks to this great review I decided last year to buy the 8868. I have just completed building this set. It took me 5 evenings. Until this review I was not convinced by the looks of this set. How wrong I was! This is indeed a real classic and one of the more challenging and satisying Technic builds. So if you get an opportunity to buy/build this set, don't hesitate!

    I had the impression flagship sets are normally introduced in the second half of the year. If this is true, I guess the MACK set will be a medium set comparable to the 42052 and 42066 sets. We may be expecting too much from this set ...

    After buying the 8010 Unimog set some years ago, @Blakbird and @Sariel made me rediscover my passion for Lego Technic and made me realise that it is not necessary to be ashamed of the fact that I am an adult who likes to build Lego Technic. I cannot think of better Lego Technic ambassadors/evangelists for this exciting project.

    Wow! So it is possible to build a "Technic only" truck without relying too much on non-Technic bricks for instance for the grill/nose. Impressive! It would be interesting to have a picture with another well known Lego technic set to better realsie the size of the truck.

    I'm also surprised Lego has not introduced a GBC set all these years. This would be a great theme that you can add modules to each year. The catamaran is the set I'm most curious about. It is relevant following this years America's Cup and it has potential for several technical features such as lowering the foils, changing direction of the rudders and sails. Maybe combining multiple sets will allow building a bigger MOC. It would be a great display model.

    This is probably heresy here, but I find American trucks rather boring ... Also because we have already had some great sets: 8285 and 5571. The trailer looks interesting ...
  13. WvG_853
    Amazon.de has the same set for 104,99 EUR. I'm waiting for @nguyengiangoc to inform us of the best available offer (he has proven to have a nose for it) or the Christmas offers of the local super markets ...

    Thanks for sharing! They are all great, but I prefer the dumptruck from the three trucks. Have you build Lucio's airport fire truck as well? I hope to finally build it this year ...
  15. WvG_853
    Very clean implementation! I'm impressed as well by the performance.

    The 8854 is one of my favourite small sets with good playability: https://brickset.com/sets/8854-1/Power-Crane

    Thanks for the picture with the caravan + toepasselijk, you are Dutch after all! ;-) I get a clear picture of the size now. I guess it should be similar to @Sheepo VW bus: http://www.sheepo.es/2015/06/volkswagen-type-2-t1-bus-instructions.html?m=1 with the difference that you have created the long version.
  18. WvG_853
    Wow! Amazing. Would be interesting tobhave a side by side picture with the equivalent Lego Creator set to get an idea of the scale.
  19. WvG_853
    Yes, I see your point ...
  20. WvG_853
    I trust your judgement, but I still have my doubts about the colour choice. On the other hand, it is true if I look at Ken Blocks cars for instance, they are black with elements in these kind of colours: green, azure blue, and I also found a car with purple ...
  21. WvG_853
    I don't understand the choice for the purple panels. All black would have been way cooler! Your pictures make all technic sets look great ...
  22. WvG_853
    I have realised that that is indeed what makes me build LEGO. For me it is an ideal way of destressing ...
  23. WvG_853
    Very impressive!
  24. WvG_853
    Cool MOC and even cooler that it is a C-Model! Airport vehicles have always fascinated me. You have captured well this utilitarian form. My compliments!
  25. WvG_853
    I forgot to share with you a picture of the final model ... As you can see the model is ideal to transport the Saturn V top part ... ;-) I enjoyed building this C-model very much. I can recommend it wholeheartedly + it gives you the pleasure the take it apart and build the Claas again. Here are the bricks that are not used for the C-model:
