Oh yes, so ironic...

And then people would complain that LEGO does not even build their displays anymore, but they are lazy enough to do it digitally. C'mon man, don't be so grumpy about everything they do :) It is a cool looking advertisement using the actual set for once, not the "big useless non-LEGO electic car with a bunch of LEGO pieces glued to it".

I don't think that's the case, gluing Technic sets with moving parts and functions would be pretty weird anyway :)

Making definitive judgements based on builds assembled by store employees in a rush might not be the best choice either :)

More new parts to explore!

It is also human nature to feel envy and assume bias about such an event, which, as a marketing event, does not have any "independent" journalists :) But let's stay on topic! New 14T gear with a 18T clutch gear, also 8T "long gear" with a clutch. And new shifter drums of course.

Here's the gearbox before adding the rear axle and other layers:

Ah yes, I definitely feel brainwashed :) I really don't understand why people cannot just appreciate a cool engineering achievement beneath the marketing fluff. We know it is not a 100% LEGO car, but if you have ever tried to keep Technic pieces together beyond 40 km/h, you can certainly appreciate how 400 kg of non-glued Technic parts are driven around on a custom-built barebones car chassis that at the end looks like a Koenigsegg. Why does this make people so upset? The big car is made to promote the actual LEGO product, simple as that. This is from a marketing budget, they will not spend that money on more parts or anything similar, despite what some people have said. Would it be better if they paid Tom Holland or Jason Momoa to advertise the Technic car, as they did for other campaigns? I still think these 1:1 "gimmicks" suit Technic better.

They were not rejected, they didn't gather enough votes. Technic is a niche within a niche hobby, it is difficult to compete with Castle, Pirates and Classic Space fans.

Nice review. A small suggestion: you do not need to make someone else look bad to make your content look better, it can prove its value on its own.

This.

Thanks. If the review sets were sent on time, it would be much easier.

The June 1st Technic sets arrived yesterday, and two F1 helmets arrived today (hooray). I have a whole bunch of half-built and unfilmed projects and constantly trying to juggle them... it's a bit frustrating.

If you scroll back a bit it is there, review sets were delayed.

It has a HOG knob on a longer axle than ever and features a visual aid with the yellow axle protruding from the green body. You see? Progress! :D
