    My thoughts exactly. Great looking model, I probably have most parts to build it but not with this kind of instructions. I'd go mad going though animated instruction that show one part per step.

    Looking very interesting, I've also been playing around with the idea of doing a large scale Raptor but never had the time to get anywhere close to what you have. What scale is this designed at, 1:8 to match the other large scale vehicles or something else?

    Not sure if it's allow to post links here, but just Google "lego 21344" for images from the last 24 hours, it comes up as one of the first.

    I wonder if it is the same Kasper Hansen that did a 1:8 scale Audi R8 as a C model to the 42056 some years ago. He teased it and mentioned doing instructions but unfortunately they where never published - probably not completed. I actually got an additional 42056 just for doing that C model and it's been waiting on the shelf ever since.

    Details now available on the official site: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/peugeot-9x8-24h-le-mans-hybrid-hypercar-42156

    I cannot find it in the app store either. Luckily I have it installed on some of my devices. I would hope this just is a matter of the app needing an update and that it will appear again. Maybe there is a change to some policies in the app store that require the app to be resubmitted.

    Sorry, I messed up, really need a vacation to clear the mind. You are completely right. It does need to rotate. Still a brilliant "misuse" of the LA - and yes, I did see this in other designs previously. Never got around to building a model with this but considering doing a second Porsche 42056 in blue and incorporating as many improvements like this paddle shifter as possible.

    If the yellow #1 connector is fixed, so it doesn't rotate (i.e. having an axle going though connector and the LA fixtures), the LA will not extend/retract on rotation. Instead the builtin clutch in the LA will absorb the rotation thus keeping the LA at the same length no matter the rotation. It's actually a quite ingenious way of using the LA.

    At first glance I assumed this to match up with the previous models, like the 42125 Ferrari, but that’s not the case (?) What scale is this supposed to be?
  10. jensrodi
    Strange, to me the front arches look like a recolor of 42125 Ferrari and the back arches the similar older type with a straight top.

    I can see that it also has been removed from Jeroens personal site so I guess I was just real lucky to get it while it was available. One can only guess as to why it had to go, probably legal reasons perhaps... Really sad if that the case.

    Did this build revently, fantastic model 😀. Just noticed it’s gone on rebrickable, how come? Are other of your models going to disappear as well?
  13. jensrodi
    I've also been looking for this for a while, regret very much that I waited to get the instructions. I did not consider that the designer would ever pull this incredible design from Rebrickable, really very sad. And there is not much we can do, I guess, but if you find a way to get the instructions please let me know. I did notice that the designer is credited for a new set from CADA: The C61048 Koenigsegg Jesko Fantasma, in some respects similar to this moc. Personally I would not buy that, the brick quality is not that good, but I've noticed that CADA make instructions public after a couple of months. I know they use special non-lego parts to some extend, but I'm hoping to build around that and maybe be able to reconstruct this model using the CADA as a base. Just an idea.

    This looks simply amazing. Not only have you created a detailed 1:8 scale car. It also replicates the looks of the real car closely - and to top it of, done using only a subset of the 42115 parts. I wish I had the ingenuity - and time - to do such models my self. I will most definitely take on this model as soon as I get the time and a spare 42115
  15. jensrodi
    Understandable - and very sad that some people have no respect. Makes me really regret I didn't just buy the instructions right away instead of waiting until I had a reasonable amount of the parts needed. Was looking forward to the very unique door mechanism on this car. I can only hope that another designer comes up with a similar Koenigsegg model, though probably unlikely
  16. jensrodi
    I've been looking at this on and off for a while, considered buying instructions to build it - never got around to it and now it has disappeared from Rebrickable. Anybody now what happened and if the instructions are available elsewhere?
  17. jensrodi
    Sure, it is a form of innovation, but for what purpose. For me, the core essence of LEGO, is the huge amount of possibilities you have with very few parts, which I think was one of the original ideas with the brick. Wasn't it quite recently LEGO ran adds which highlighted that the insane number of combinations you could achieve with just a few 2x4 bricks. To me, this sort of contradict that way of thinking. In the end, innovation is not just inventing new parts for fun (or profit), it is just as much creating new constructions using the parts that are already available. This is something we see daily in the AFOL community - something I love to see and keeps me amazed.
  18. jensrodi
    My point is not whether this is a useful element, it will be, no doubt. I just think it isn't out of kindness towards AFOL's but rather a tactic to keep the income flowing. That is of course one way to run a business - I just find it a bit irritating that it's most like profit that drives this. As for the pin-with-pinhole, I don't really see the comparison with the perpendicular beams. For me that part is more an extension, allowing adding pin attachements where it would not otherwise be possible. The perpendicular beam radically changes the internal constructions - which to me not necessarily is a good thing as it makes it hard to reuse our existing parts without having to buy (initially) expensive and hard-to-find parts if we what to achieve similar builds as the official.
  19. jensrodi
    I consider this is deliberate tactic from LEGO to include just a small number of new parts, to "force" AFOL's to buy the new sets, even though they already have the other 99% of the parts in storage. I my view there is no real reason for perpendicular beams. Yes, they make some builds easier, but all of it can be realised without these beams. Just look at for instance 42043, which in many ways could be compared to this new model. That said, I must complement on a very thorough review. It is a joy to read :-)
  20. jensrodi
    @nico71 Very nice model of that Ford, I'm actually considering getting a second 42115 just to make this :-) You mention “muddy” shape tires. Could you possible post one or two pictures of the model with such tires?
  21. jensrodi
    I've had the same problem for the last couple of hours. Have no idea how to fix it, other forums work just fine.
  22. jensrodi
    The official site has instructions for another of the 1:8 CaDA Master series models (C61041W by Thijs de Boer) here http://en.doubleeagle-group.com/list.php?pid=6&ty=25&page=2 so it it may very well be on purpose, though not very consistent. At least they share the full instructions for other sets, not just corrections for errors in the prints.
  23. jensrodi
    TLG is listening to forums such as this as we constitute a significant customer base. But whether they choose to act on this and find a compromise that releases the set in some way and satisfy their rules at the same time is another question. Still, I cannot understand how this product can get so far in production without this problem with TLG own rules gets addressed. This must cost TLG millions just in expenses for design, production, shipment and recall. Not to consider how much of the product is going to be destroyed/recycled with environmental impacts.
  24. jensrodi
    We are the customers, not the anti-war group i Germany that got this canceled. We, as customer, where not heard before the decision was made. We are going to pay for a set like this and provide income for LEGO, opposed to LEGO scraping all the produced sets. If enough people sign and show their support for this product, LEGO have to listen. But it will take a lot of pressure. They may never release it as originally intended, but even a modified version, for instance with different branding, will make at least me happy. And I guess a lot of other LEGO entusiasts. So let's keep the pressure on LEGO to find a better solution that just scrapping this. I have signed and hope many other AFOLs will too.

    Actually the Chiron's is 3200 in Denmark (Porsche was 2600 for comparison). From the € pricing I was expecting the Lambo to be at least 3300 in Denmark, so I'm quite surprised. And fearing that it is a typo that gets corrected before they open up for purchasing
