  1. Why speed champions car are instantly recognizable even if they are more squared and half of the size?
  2. Yes I remember! The space sets were revealed first. By the way, no space sets this year. Let's wait to be disappointed by the backhoe
  3. So all the March sets have been revealed, and not the January sets (except the Ducati). Let's wait and see.
  4. I understand what you mean. I just would like to see an updated design, more modern but still generic... with lower tyre profile and bigger rim. Maybe with the possibility to see the disk brake.
  5. Yes. My statement was a general statement referring not to this particular car, but all the 1:16 cars. What TLG did on the rear rims of the Koenigsegg is embarrassing!
  6. Nothing can be improved? The wheels and rims for example! Stop using those old wheels and introduce a new mould of sporty wheel that can be used for the next 10 years! Wheels can improve the look of a car a lot.
  7. Photos of 42205 are on Instagram (itavix_bricks) Once again, black rims.
  8. Jcb license brings high hopes for a backhoe loader in bright light orange
  9. Another polybag coming in an upcoming issue of the Technic magazine (in December in Italy)
  10. I hope it will be at least a 4 axle truck. But I still can't understand how can it be so expensive? 42167 was licensed and was 35 € with higher part count.
  11. 42203 Tipping dump truck (462 pcs | $49.99) Siurce: itavix_bricks on Instagram I suppose it will be in the scale of the Mack garbage truck, but more expensive and with less functions.
  12. 42202 is listed with 1603 parts at 189.99$, so the F1 licence (or the F1 appeal) has increased the prices a lot.
  13. 42206 Red Bull F1 42207 Ferrari F1 Source Instagram Brick_clicker
  14. Nice to see he looks at fan mocs and he likes them! Congrats
  15. You can use this connector to act as a 3L flip flop beams.
  16. I've seen it on Itavix account, I don't think it's so relevant Concerning Cat licence, I really hope it was not for one project only!
  17. According to Instagram sources, the Supra is 42204.
  18. I'm not into old cars but this model is really well done! I like also the driver. Well done!
  19. I have adjusted excavator proportions and added third pneumatic function to control the bucket independently. Instructions available here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-194449/technicprojects/volvo-ec230-electric-excavator-42175-mod/#details
  20. Volvo CE is uptading its excavator range, introducing 3 new models (230, 400, 500) with a revised design and logo. The EC230 Electric, and all the other excavators of the range, have not yet been updated, so TLG did the right thing. Also the number of railings is correct. Maybe the only wrong thing is that TLG used the new Volvo logo, even if the EC230 Electric still uses the old one. You find the EC230 Electric specifications and product brochure among the electric range of the Volvo CE website (and from the technical drawings you will see that there are some wrong proportions but that's Lego...)
  21. Looking at the video, I'm always more convinced that Lego must introduce another kind of rims+tires for these small cars. Something more modern/sporty. The shape of the car body without wheels is almost perfect, but those old wheels with "big" tyre profile are really bad looking.
  22. I agree with you, but sometimes you get a display model in technic form which is better-looking than a model team model. I mean that with all the most recent panels you can create shapes that are impossible to create with bricks. It is a different style, you have to accept the holes and flex axles, but still very eye-catching.
