Thanks All for the response with clarifications. Agree with AVCampos since Sariel said similar thing about 42133 on his FB page. It's relieving that Balazs's going to review all his remaining H1 Technic sets. Saw his (first) part of DeLorean review where it is amazing (or amusing) to see how cool Technic functions can be found in a non-Technic set

Anyone finds it a bit odd that both RacingBrick and Sariel decided not to chose 42133 Telescopic Loader for reviewing? The 42136's not being reviewed not bothering for me but this along with Sariel's [still] not reviewing 42139 seems odd. Finally, here is my ranking for the H1 2022 Technic sets: The 42139 The 42140 The 42132 The 42133 The 42137 Honorary mentions: The 42141 and 42131 for being display queens and the Volvo Polybag and the Monster Jam duos. Also, I am probably one of those who genuinely wants the new DeLorean set grab a Top-steering or RCing

Thanks for raising the question(s) here! I'm all in for 6L/7L cross axles with stop, L shaped lift-arms in moar sizes and the 4L/6L liftarms. The 4L clutch pin (with variations) is already something I feel the need for when I am fixing/modifying a build. In addition to those, I'd like to see perpendicular Technic-pin connector hub (Lego's part #48989) with friction pins.

Nico71's Creations

That Engine is a looker and an eye-pleaser! I liked the fact how instantly it moves back and forth and the driving speed is faster than the OG 42100. -
I think...I can give you another suggestion: you can rebuild the Defender as many times as you want because it is truly one addictive build. Howevr, instead of building it again and again just for the sake of making the gearbox right why not incorporate a relatively simpler 2-speed (with Hi/Lo) or a 4-speed one with Neutral? Making the gearbox right is not only thing to look for it when it comes to this set. The way the entire drivetrain is designed matters. Don't let the gearbox spoil the fun of having the Defender. Tons of modification options are there

You are definitely not alone. The pure essence of Lego Technic I find these days is in this forum. Anyone who used to build Lego in the 80s 90s (or even earlier) will definitely share this feeling. Lego's welcoming casual builders is fine, but....fact is...a large number of them should be building Duplo's, not Technic. Then there are also people who build it and rebuild it, showcase it, and...don't care about the functional reliabilities. Heavily emphasized Technic sets are largely primarily becoming display sets. Whatever this business/survival/sustainability stuffs are played by/with Lego I honestly think to use/build Technic someone has to be a bit smarter. Of course we all are human, we will make mistakes, but not to the extent so that a set's instruction manual will (eventually) become a Harry Potter sized fat book. I have not yet got any 18+ set mainly because they have not made me so obsessed (out of the box). A 8868 is still my top priority than to grab any C+ set, but I am always open for positivity's regarding Powered UP components and the C+ system. The F1 does look good though (minus the wheel and its covers).

General Part Discussion
thekoRngear replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Guys, have Rebrickable started to allow using 3rd party bricks (otherwise known as clone brands) on the MOCs? 🤔 Take a look at the upper LBG T-Beam in the front. It's definitely not from Lego. It is from either Cada or Mould King. Look at the shape of the little gaps inside between the clutch holes. They are triangle and slightly bigger. Lego ones are not like that. The MOC's RB link is in the video description- 5,509 replies
