Question for Moc builders: do you hesitate between getting paid for the instructions versus having a lot more people building it?

I understand that it takes time to create instructions but if it is a leasure, we don't necessarily have to be paid for it. Would the moc builders still create mocs/instructions if there was no money to gain?

I have the feeling that more and more instructions are now paid instructions. Even the ones for C models of small sets aren't free anymore. Do you have the small feeling? Do you think that it is a good thing? Is it because some people do it as their main activity? Do they succeed to sell many instructions? Maybe these instructions are more popular now because TLC provides less B models instructions as before.

You can do as in one of the promo picture: put an armor over the pirate torso.

There are many sets being officially announced in other themes for releases in june. Will the technic sets be announced too or will they come later?

I hoped that the price was wrong too. 330€ seems crazy even if it has one more motor than the 42099.

It doesn't seem to be a finished model. For example, the green part on the hood doesn't look like the real vehicle.

The leaked price may be wrong for a set like this.

Since this set hasn't any additional functionality, it should be focused on off-roading. I guess that this set will have 6 planetary gears. Will it also have a gear box?

Did anyone succeed to read what's written on the truck's stickers?

Thanks for the review. What's happening with the tire rubber? Is it the quality of the piece or is there too much friction? I think that the comparison with set 42076 which is more than twice as expensive isn't very fair.

Are the reviews supposed to be available tomorrow?

The set is now on the Lego shop.

Why did you buy it at this price? I thought that you had the Osprey.

The 42100 is fun to play with but it isn't the most interesting to build (the gears are only here to increase torque). If this set is fully RC with a gearbox to switch between functions (as the Volvo truck), it could be a good mix. With 4 motors, I guess that it will be 2 motors for tracks, 1 motor for powering the functions, 1 motor for selecting the functions. Almost 7000 pieces seems to be a lot. Didn't they say that 4000 was about the max possible. That it would be too heavy with more pieces?

It's very nice to see some B models. Next step should be to restart putting printed instructions in the box for these B models.

I've created the model in Studio (first time using a Lego digital designer) and created the instructions. They are available for free on rebrickable.

Thank you for your comments.

Hello, Here is a very small moc. This buggy is a C model of the set 42104 (Race truck). Hope you like it. EDIT: The instructions are available for free on rebrickable.

No special functionalities for the Zetros? What could explain that it is more expensive than the Volvo truck?

Maybe someone here can help me. I can't connect my phone to the hub! When I switch on the hub, it flashes white for 10 seconds but it is never detected by the app. I'm using Android, the bluetooth is on and I tried the Control+ and the Power Up apps. Any idea about what I can do to try to solve this issue? EDIT: I've reset all my network settings on my phone and it worked! I don't know what was wrong...

It's the same price as the Liebherr! It has to have something more than C+ to be more interesting than the Liebherr. I hoped for a less expensive set with only one motor and pneumatics.

How much would cost the pieces without the hub and motors?

The video says "new tires for better grip". I don't know if they are talking about the kind of rubber used.
