I also ordered June 1st and nothing yet. Thinking of cancelling order and putting money toward other sets.

I bought set 8448 used on ebay for .13 per piece so I figure .11 a piece for 42056 isn't so bad. The set looks awesome and I don't want to miss out on it like I missed out on 41999. I'd really like to own 41999 but reseller prices are too high. It originally sold for 12.6 a piece and is now being resold at approximately .22 a piece. I already own 9398 so it's hard to justify paying .22 a piece for just the blue body.

I don't like that there is no HOG, and I was hoping for a RC Porsche, but I can't wait to build, display, and occasionally play with this set. It looks beautiful and the functions look interesting. I think LEGO is taking Technic in the right direction with these large and detailed sets. I'm happy to have come out of my dark ages before this awesome 2016 Technic line up.

The short answer is 6211 / 8043. The long answer follows... I received 6080 when I was around 10 yrs old and have fond memories of building and rebuilding it. I remember making a helicopter moc with it. For an unknown reason I went into a dark age from around 1985 until 2013 when my step son moved out of the house. I went into his closet and saw that he had left a new in box 6211 behind. He told me I can have it. I built it and was hooked. I then started researching current lego sets and 8043 caught my eye. It had a lot of functions and was remote control. Unfortunately, it was retired. Soon after, I decided to stop by Toys R Us and they had one 8043 left. I felt lucky to find it and bought it immediately. That was 2.5 years ago. I currently own 34 sets total, 26 of them are Technic. I am currently building 42030, and the next build will be 8448 which I just bought on ebay. I really want 8466, 8485, 8880, 42043, and all 2H 2016 sets. Can't wait to get more official information about the Porsche. That's probably going to be a day one purchase. Dark ages are behind me.

Hi everyone! I'm a Technic fan and have been following this forum for several years. Finally decided to sign in.
