https://lego.bricksmegastore.com/products/lego-technic-liebherr-crawler-crane-lr-13000 just got made available for pre order to VIP members at the Lego store in aus. Price is completely crazy

Yeah not really, tlg goes to the trouble of “leaking” half assed looking builds to suck all You in and it seems to always works. Now it’s been put on a box you’re even more gullible it’s a finished kit. Why don’t people just wait before jumping to conclusions as it’s probably only 50/50 of actually been fully legit.

So the guys that put their mocs on speed champions looking fake box art are the only people smart enough to do this?

Very wise decision in my opinion. I think people have already forgotten the original leaked pictures of the D11 and zetros that turned out to be way off the final kit.

I guess by now you would have your review kit and know the real answer anyway. Looking forward to watching it soon.

In the bottom left hand picture showing winch and wheel functions on the box art and in the video you can see that the battery box is the original slip in type.

Not reading too much into it but the battery box still is a slip in battery type in the box art

Yeah that’s what I was kind of expecting that the airbus been licensed is what they show. Especially because it will be the release of the simple battery box finally although I do expect it to have had the same redesign with the lid as the C+ hub. I’m still not really buying into the crane with its piece count and price as I can’t see how it’s going to be that much better than 42042 without been twice the scale and the parts count makes that unlikely.

Hasn’t part of the advertisement for legocon been that there will be reveals for pretty much every theme including technic. So with 42144/5 already revealed doesn’t this just leave the crane?

If you look at the yellow ram in scrap handler then look at the helicopters tail it’s clear it’s the new neon yellow.

I’ll leave that to professionals like yourself. I would have thought he would have realized and edited or redone the build to fix the mistake especially since the instructions are so dumbed down according to the review.

Don’t you hate it when a big time reviewer builds a kit and completely shags it by putting something obvious on backwards like a panel but doesn’t realize all the way through

In all fairness it’s not listed on the Lego uk site as an exclusive is it just more that it’s not in stock anywhere yet which is just like the D11 and BMW are in most places.

It’s available at David Jones and Myer in Australian, I just got my second one for $37

I really thought the mods and improvements page was going to take off once these became readily available but its been completely neglected.

Have you completely missed that the hubs and battery box are changing that’s why they keep getting taken off and put back. If you look at the hub in the new transformation vehicle it now has the screws which where rumors back when the zetros came out so the battery box will have to have the same upgrade. It’s not getting discounted and other more credible sources like racingbrick have covered why control+ sets and components had been getting marked as out of stock then coming back days later. If you head to the aus lego page you can still buy a battery box today

The point I’m trying to make is that people don’t seem to realize how little space this scale will have and how much room a hub takes up. The track frame will be just wrapped around the hub and the car body will be a few panels around the outside of the hub. From a technic point of view this seems to be a very boring build for a flagship especially if the boom is constructed with a simplified system. Once again compared to other cranes this one seems like a bust not a win but this is only driven by peoples assumptions and rumors

How did you come to this conclusion that the battery box is getting discontinued?

I’m struggling to see where they will stuff 2x hubs and 6x motors in this scale of a crane. I’m also wondering how people are still assuming there’s a fly jib as it would certainly make the crane too fragile to meet lego requirements.

I take it as 20x a new element makes up the 1kg counterweight so each piece weighs 50g.

You may need to re-read then as they are referring to the height and say it has been trimmed which could also explain the rumored price reduction!

So it’s shrunk in size, how’s this going to be much better than 42042 honestly?

new rumors from promobricks 42146 [Loebherr LR 13000] A Liebherr LR 13000 (Photo: Liebherr) Probably the most impressive set of the upcoming LEGO Technic 2022 summer novelties of the second half of the year we will be a huge crane. This will be a Liebherr LR 13000, which is the strongest crawler crane in the world in real life with a load capacity of 3000 tons. The maximum system length of the crane is 246 m, which also makes it the largest crawler crane of all time. Set number: 42146 Name: [Liebherr LR 13000] Number of parts: 2882 Publication date: [01. August 2022] Availability: LEGO Recommended age: 18+ MSRP: 449.99 Euro And the LEGO model will probably also be just as impressive, because it is said to be the highest LEGO Technic model of all time. Last month we assumed that it would be at least 1.50 m high, but it now seems that the crane has been trimmed a little during the ongoing design process. This would also explain why, according to the latest information, the price in Germany should be 449.99 euros, instead of the 599.99 US dollars known to us. Incidentally, we can now confirm that the relatively small number of parts of 2882 actually comes from the fact that LEGO uses a lot of new 7×17 knobs large molded parts for the crane's lattice poles, which drive the price in height and the number of parts into the basement. In addition, there will be 20 new elements that result in a counterweight of 1 kg. The mismatch between price and number of parts (over 20 ct per part) can probably also be explained to a certain extent by the use of a lot of electronic Control+ elements. There will be a total of 6 motors and 2 smart hubs in the set, the crane will be controlled via Control+ app.

Wow the d11 looks awful with all that unnecessary PF gear hanging out, the remote setup also looks pretty non user friendly so someone has solved a problem that didn’t need solving.
