Its a hard choice of where to buy from here in Aus...

Dam that's cool! I don't know how you lot do alternative models. I don't get any inspiration when looking at a predefined pile of parts...

Just don’t produce the lime green pulley in the first place And once they start producing everything in lbg dbg and black there will be no problem after a small overlap. Just like a lot of the old sets used to be. anyway I’m hardly being too serious but a bit less colour splattering would go a long way. Ill put my little money where my mouth is though and say I’ll be getting a whole bunch of the prementioned colours so I can build sets how I like...if I like And not have to actually buy each set.

There is no logic to that. Only one colour compared to many different colours is storage optimisation. I’ll admit one colour would be boring but colour scattering like in sets is over the top. Anyway it was all said with a bit of jest.

If they just made everything under the ‘skin’ LBG, DBG, or black for every set then they would have even more optimisation

Agree with these sensible comments being made. I don’t usually buy sets now, I’ve got enough parts to mix with so I’ll just pick a few bits from bricklink now and then. perhaps with the current inflation and interest rises LEGO will have to reconsider these exorbitant sets and revert to smaller sets to get sales. although that new pneumatic handler was on my wish list being pneumatic and small but that is over priced in my opinion too. the last set I got was the recent ATV for $79 AUD which was pallatable for my wallet. But as saidby others, so many errors in the instructions, too much colour coding and insulting our intelligence! Step 59 What the heck is that all about. how dumbed down will we get in a few more years... sticking to MOCking...haha there’s some irony Anyway still love building with Technic, but...

Look forward to seeing this without limitations! I had trouble with worm gears for drive in a very similar setup. Power/drive just wasn’t being transferred. Planetary gears FTW if your model gets too heavy??

Very nice! Very compact. love the vintage tractors 👍

Yes, you very often say this sort of thing for your builds but your builds are really unique in design and I really like them too this truck looks fantastic!

That’s why contests are great...personal development 👍 Well done everyone those top 3 look awesome together and shows the really great builders that are here. I’d buy any of them off the shelf if they were sets!

I think your comments are well spoken @2GodBDGlory Credit to LEGO when making a simple functional product. I don’t build many sets probably as I get tired of stacking lift arms and panels, so right up my alley this one.

One thing that annoyed me with 42053 is the controls were not intuitive and this one seems the same as the levers turn side to side instead of forward backward...maybe that’s just me though. anyway I am excited as this is a ‘cheaper’ set with pneumatics!! Nice to have a change but I do prefer yellow pneumatic cylinders.

unique and creative c model, I like it more than before

Why the new gears in this set? Is it a tease that we might be getting something with a lot more power in the near future maybe?

I would change all that to your own stuff if you want some votes in the contest! using an official build might get some scours (from me at least ) Other than that I love the look of this.

I wish LEGO would do away with cars for one year and do a whole bunch of small compact sets like we are seeing with this TC. Dam there are some amazing builds that I would buy in a heart beat off the shelves

I must be having a bad withdrawal from no building at the moment, I just want to build all these TC22 entries. This one too, it looks great!

Jesus! besides lack of time this is why I wont enter TC22 This thing Looks incredible. Hope to see a video?

We could all compliment and say this should be a proper Technic set, but it actually should! very nice The steering looks a little awkward to get to maybe? if it is that the 12t gear next to the pumper?

Wish I could just throw something this good together

Ooo! That’s an interesting way of widening the tracks Hope to see a video of it at the end? how much weight can the structure take on top before ‘too much’ bending starts?

Always wanted to build one of these. This looks promising! I thought the lower small pneumatic valve might not be able to handle the full weight of the tipper but I just pumped one up to see and they are actually pretty good! I might need to use them more! looking forward to updates.

When I bought 42042 after a LEGO absence of 30 years I was amazed at the gears and elements and how everything worked because I didn’t really understand it. But after a while paying with it modifying it getting used to all the parts and what they can do and building a couple other sets the ‘mystery’ disappeared. I think it is that lack of mystery more than anything that makes us MOC builders apathetic towards new sets. so I do not think Technic has lost its way. It’s just different than before and our views have just changed as our knowledge has changed...and well, Yea I agree there are too many cars!

Not a fan of sub forums myself. I can’t add much more than what’s already been said about keeping as it is but that’s my vote...for what it’s worth.
