Interesting is that with new pieces and the evolution for parts, like the new A-Pillar beam from P1, that the number of parts should actually decrease. The fact that the number of parts in every car increases every two years is intentional. The jump to 4100 is significant. It could be the last model in the series.

Thats crazy parts count for 1:8 Car, but the announced price remains still the same here. Don't believe in an new exotic color. It would increase the price to 499$ or even 549$ for this model.

Thank you. That will surely please him very much. Clone brands are not exactly welcome in the world of Lego but that's understandable and forgivable.

Sadair's Speer is the ultimate answer from Koenigsegg. There is a big chance that this rumor is true (as many people expecting Koenigsegg for this years 1:8)

Yes, that. Many builders fear the expensive purchase of parts for regular MOCs. It's not the cost of the building plans itself, but the cost of procuring the right parts. With B-models, it's very simple, as you surely know yourself. Many people buy expensive sets a second time only for building B-models. This even generates revenue for Lego. Of course, nothing comes back from them. I don't hide my numbers, there's no reason to. In my portfolio I have 4 MOCs above the 1000+. However, there are also models that weren't worth it.

@Ngoc Nguyenis right. If TLG wants to make it accurate, it can only be reddish brown with black. Would be sad when Lego haters call the model a big 💩 later.

Sounds promising. We have the 11L liftarm in reddish brown from the small 42218 Deere, means one recolour less :D

A complete new color? Unlikely due the costs. Maybe its G500 reddish orange 🍊

1000 more to 200 is possible over longer time, even without covid. Most people don't want to spend a lot of money buying parts, without knowing what to expect with the final build and in what quality. Unfortunately, many people just put their models on the shelf these days. Very few people take their sets apart or buy them again as a parts donor.

Thats crazy. I didn't know that before. What a waste of potential and thanks for the explanation.

Now I am confused. Does a C+ hub have its own built-in memory to run pre-coded programs? It has own memory but it is not accessible with official software/app? Regardless, I believe they are afraid of digitalization. To this day, coding and the advent of robotics are used as an excuse for the crash in 2000. Since then, they have tried to stay up-to-date with electronic products with minimal effort, or electronic components that were behind their time

C+ is indeed a great system with lots of opportunities, but it has one downside: it can't run code directly on the smart-hub device (No memory inside). That's precisely what makes it so interesting as a toy, but unusable for larger arrangements of adult builders - large train layouts for example. When you want to code a train, there is a need for own smart device to couple for each of the trains. The hub itself needs to be programmable. Install the code once via smart device and let the train (or heavy Technic machinery) run autonomously. The Copilot from 8479 had this memory inside (max 20 scannable lines). Unfortunately each hub from the C+ family can only communicate directly with the smart device with no "brain" or memory inside. @msk6003I saw you made a new version of the legendary 8479 on rebrickable. Great job on this!

I am not sure about the smart brick yet. But when you consider what kind of technology existed almost 20 years ago with the 8479 Technic Barcode Truck, this thing doesn't seem very up-to-date.

The turning point will come, just like in the early 2000s. There will be no sympathy for the corporation then. They only have themselves to blame.

Many disappointed fans of the series will not return later. Lego is milking the series with the least effort, without thinking about what comes later. It's a one-way street. Every story eventually comes to an end.

You will. Thats the price to be payed.

They don't care. For them, it's more important to celebrate themselves on social media than to deliver proper work. It's also understandable that the fans are disappointed, as they would have liked a clean job. I am sorry to hear that your parts plastic quality is bad. I haven't experienced that myself yet. For me, the quality of the parts was always the final touch what stands for Lego.

LEGO and LEGO Technic have lost its entitlement to perfectionism. Every day LEGO teaches us anew that it is moving further away from perfectionism. There are mistakes in literally every set that could be fixed very easily with just 10 minutes more of review. Moccer's wants to be perfectionistic and that's exactly where the problem lies. In the end, one get stuck in the own perfectionism.

I feel your words. Things only start to get complicated when you get too caught up in them. When I started in 2020 with (B-)models, I still managed to do it alongside my full-time job and everything was perfect. The design and work on the model was done alongside other activities and yet the models were very successful. Later, this required more and more time and effort to make more complex and bigger models to satisfy oneself. At the end, I made my biggest car with more than 3600 pieces and 900 pages of instructions in only 15 weeks in a non-stop workcrunch, which was a healthy and mental wreckfest. Don't do that to yourself. As someone said before, you should focus on one passionated project to finish.

With two F1 cars and one Hypercar, we get three 1:8 cars this year o.O

One who spends that much money on fake wheels and stickers that come loose is beyond help. 230€, far from reality our dansk friends

I thought to the Panel Fairing #7 and #8 or other small parts and connectors that are rare in yellow.

If TLG is smart enough, then they put one desired and rare part in every of the 8 sets. It will sell like bread.

I don't know anything about these "Kinder Surprise Eggs". Just got that pic on Instagram.
