    I wasnt trying to launch a debate, just a personal opinion Let me figurate that im back into Lego since 2006, and i'm very demanding concerning Lego products, and especially big Technic sets. Technic theme is, in theory, my main Theme. You can see my collection here https://brickset.com/sets/ownedby-Timoonn/theme-Technic My last flagship is the Arocs, the last (for me) great technic set. Since the Arocs, Lego released 42055: very big, not very "playable" , all that for this. 42056: very expensive, poor playability/technicity, aesthetically average 42070: very expensive, average playbaility but not stellar, ridiculous technic choices, asthetically botched 42083: very very expensive, almot not "playable", aesthetically average+ 42082 looks a little better, but it remains mixed Sets are getting bigger and bigger, but not systematically better. Obviously this is my very personnal opinion, as a "old" afol "Technic veteran" The era of 8043, 8275, 8110 and others is gone for now. And im missing it. The time when every flagship was great at first sight (beyond the number of pieces), innovative and without kicking the 200 € price limit. This year Lego has released 14 Technics versus 8 sets ten years ago. Here is the logic of quantity - not always - means quality. I never buyed so few technics since 2016/17/18 You cant really compare studless and studfull sets. This is not just a "old versus new". Dominant voices on Eurobricks are those that like everything no matter what it is, actually. My points and "critics" concern the sets and theme evolution during the "modern" studless era ans especially the last 3 years.

    Its not an issue. The B model is simply "bad" (for me) and far from the potential of the box content for a propoer B model. As you said "A lego set is a starting point, an idea...". A very pricy starting point. And that is the job of lego designers to push the idea to a real, great and enjoyable model. MOC are not an obligation when you buy a Lego. Or Lego should only sell bunch of parts without models. We buy a box for what it offers, model A and/or B. Mocs are another side of Legos. Official sets are kinda Official MOCS 42082 is the flagship, the star of the year. A and B model must (or should) be great. You cant ask or force peoples to redesign a set after spending 280€ on a finished product. Damn this forum is getting ridiculous years after years, we cannot critize anything without being hanged by some conformist yes-mens. Please allow others to think differently.

    With 4000 parts they could make such a great B model. Lack of resources/ambition to create a real alternative model, it says a lot about what becomes of the Technic theme...

    It will be a 150$ set

    Do you think the orange PFS train controler is going to be removed from sales?
  12. Timoonn
    So the rotation is just for "cosmetic"? You cant control something with the rotation?

    The hype around this set is getting ridiculous.
  14. Timoonn
    Depends of your country. 299.99 (USD) 349.99 (CAD) and around 280 in euros.

    So, the new 20t has a smooth hole then, like the 16t red...
  20. Timoonn
    Not at all
  21. Timoonn
    Removed.

    20t double bevel with a clutch female section. This part is a game changer for gearbox.
  23. Timoonn
    Yeah
  24. Timoonn
    Most of parts are System, not technic
