    I have a mixed feeling with the stunt racer as it appears in the initial leaks. I shall reserve my comments until we have better images of the final product. I seems to be very similar to 42065 and that disappoints me a little. However the remote looks same as the current generation PF and that is what I like about it. Hope the final product is released with current generation PF rather than the PowerUp.

    You can send PM only after you have made atleast 10 posts in Eurobricks forum.

    It's already 1st of November and there are no leaks yet. It seems Lego has managed the leaks very well.

    This is a fantastic C model. Thank you for sharing the instructions with the larger community :) However, I do find the below reason to be justifiable as the real reason for re-using the same chassis for the B-model. And how does that explain a rather incomplete looking flagship released in 2017 - 42070?

    This is very interesting and really well executed.

    Still waiting for a release of this model in India. With the Indian currency loosing value almost everyday, who knows what will be the asking price for this model. Once thing is for sure that it will be priced extremely high and I might buy it on one of my trips abroad.

    May be the Boxster with a red/white/black color scheme.

    So when you say it is like the Bugatti - does it mean this model will be 1:1 real life sized? It's already October and I am patiently waiting to see an update on this thread.

    42096 B model may be a concept model or a Porsche SUV or a convertible with a functional retractable roof. The convertible with retractable roof might turn out to be a great hit since such a feature has not appeared in a technic model before.

    Personally I prefer sets with 1000 - 2000 parts since I feel that they provide descent functionality, complexity and play ability.

    @shadow_elenter interesting thread. This will help me immensely. Everytime I take apart a set, I end up with sore fingers for weeks. And as you mentioned, I too am scared to use tweezers as applying little more pressure may damage the parts.

    That really sounds interesting. We already know that you had created a C model for 42082 and I am pretty sure this post would not refer to it in any way since that model has already been made public in this forum before. Wondering if it is a 42082 on steroids.

    Definitely 42055 since it will be out of production soon. You will still have some time to buy 42069.

    That's a great idea but at the same time it means folks like me need to post our thoughts more often to be eligible to vote ;)

    Good find @rathodsandeep. Even I am curious on how to get this shipped to India from the UK.

    @Orinoko This looks awesome. Also, curious to know what are you building next?

    Excellent review @Jim. I was already in love with this set and your review with all the excellent pictures and the wonderful write up has made it an absolutely do not miss set for me. The only disappointment (slight) in terms of the parts is that the curved panels 2 and 4 are missing but that can be ignored. A little off topic - what is that "Reviewers Academy Approved Review"?

    How i wish I could order and ship them to someone in Germany and then they could do me a favor of extracting the items from the original box ship it to me. I know this sounds unethical since I would be avoiding the customs/import duties that way. But unfortunately MRP/RRP of the Lego products in India are often more than 2X the price in Europe. For instance the MRP/RRP of 42078 is India is close to Euro 310 where as in Europe it is around Euro 150. I usually buy the smaller sets but reserve buying the larger/flagship sets when I travel abroad.

    Congratulations on your new role. I am into IT consulting and at times I have to back up as an Infrastructure Architect too. Based on my experience, I can assure you that you will definitely enjoy your new work but may end up working longer hours.

    I am confused between 42030 - Volvo L350F Wheel Loader and 42043 - Mercedes Benz Arocs-3245. The Heart wants both but the Wallet will only allow one. The Mind says buy 42043 my dear lad as the Huge bucket and Unimog tires are also available in 2018 sets. Looking for some advice from the Elders of Eurobricks.

    I absolutely love this model and the design is very clean and elegant. I have traveled to China multiple times over the last 2 years for work and do understand your reasoning. However, your English is excellent and comparative to native speakers.

    How I wish I lived in UK. The 42070 for £120 looks really great. I would definitely have bought 2 sets at this price. Unfortunately in India this set costs around £276.
  24. arijitdas
    @Marxpek This set is turning out to be excellent one and looks really cool. Please do not loose hope and abandon it yet. May be you could take a look at the mechanism used in LEGO Technic Container Truck 8052 for some idea on how to flip the arm - look at the youtube video from 1:50 to 2:28

    @M_longer Thank you for sharing the details. It seems I can build this set with existing parts. I may have to replace the panel colors.
