As a local, I recommend you also go to Tibidabo amusement park. Its worth it only for the views.

Ok. This is quickly going from promising to no-buy. Guess I'll keep buying old sets on Bricklink for a while.

Finally something that looks good. Now we just have to wait to know the outrageous price.

I have mostly stopped buying legos because of a combination of cost and technic being mostly cars. In 2024 I bought a used 42043 MB Arocs. In 2025 I only bought the Temple Bounty for my son, since I found it with a huge discount and he really wanted it. This year, so far, I bought a used 8872 Forklift Transporter that I had always wanted. I'm waiting for it to arrive. I'll probably buy the Tintin rocket if I find it with a proper discount. Otherwise, I'm not buying anything else.

Good luck recouping the cost. They're already so expensive and the Technic lineup is so bad I've simply stopped buying Legos. Last I bought was Temple Bounty for my kid, and only because I found it at 120€. If I hadn't spent my whole childhood playing with Legos, I'd wish they go bankrupt by now.

Oh great! Another car, just what I was wishing for. I'm sorry, but at this point, Technic is dead for me.

Last year I bought a used 42043 Arocs since it was a set I always wanted and I didn't find anything interesting on the lineup. This year the lineup is even less interesting and I'm considering buying my first CADA set... probably the Remote Control Excavator C61082W. I have bought the Temple Bounty for my son though, but only because I found it with a 25% discount.

After messing with some lubricants, I dissassembled the turntable and "lubed" it with wax. 0 problems since then. It's really smooth and no longer gets stuck. That being said, the hoses routing is quite tricky and you have to be very careful that they don't interfere with the movement.

Of course they will. They'll conclude that heavy machinery doesn't sell well and will release more F1 cars.

Yes. But they're outriggers. You deploy them once, and then play with the crane at a decent speed. That isn't a playability problem. In 42215 everything is so slow it's not worth playing with it.

42043 was half the cost and included pneumatics, suspension, and its functions worked. 42082, again, was half the price (and almost dpuble the pieces), and its functions worked well. This has an exhorbitantly high price with few functions that you can't play with because you'll get to retirement age before you have managed to fully lift the arm. Frankly, lately lego, and especially technic, is a constant dissapointment, both on the type of sets released and pricing.

AliExpress and Temu are quite popular in Spain. There are some other brands like megablocks that are available in stores, but most of Lego clones are bought directly in China here.

I live in Spain, which to be honest, is not exactly the richest country in Europe, but I see more and more people buying lego clones to their kids instead of original legos. The value just isn't there anymore except for a very few specific sets.

It feels it's so slow it's unplayable. You're being generous. I wouldn't buy it at 200.
