    I wonder if the existence of this 64T gear makes it at all more likely that a 32T gear would be introduced. After all, a 32T one would be in the same family as the 16T and 64T, capable of meshing with both of them at whole number spacings. It probably doesn't mean much, but I'd have to think it makes it slightly more likely! Really it's just a matter of how long it takes before Lego actually needs one for some model, I guess

    Got it, thanks! A more neutral recolor is nice to have

    I'm a big fan of this model! So detailed, so big, and so unusual! And there's even a complicated suspension involved! Glad to see progress on it
  4. 2GodBDGlory
    Or if you're rotating it the other way, there's only going to be a minimal amount of torque available before it starts to freewheel

    Wow, interesting stuff! So apart from the massive wheel, we get: - ~11L link, which will probably have some good generic uses - 64T gear, which probably won't be useful in the average MOC, but should open up some new possibilities - 20T freewheel gear, which seems really revolutionary! That seems like a seriously useful and unique part! True, true! Do we have any thoughts about that DBG new-style wave selector part? In the past when it was recolored from blue to orange, it was actually a different mold, with a different shift pattern. Any chance this is also a new mold, with a different shift pattern for this year's supercar? Or is it just a straight recolor.

    I was saying that more because of the small series than the particular geometry--although the geometry does look complex, I don't know enough about molding to know if it would have been problematic or not

    Hey, I just wanted to remind all of us on here how cool it is that we can still come here to a healthy, old-school, forum, in 2026! It seems like this kind of thing has largely died out, and been replaced by social media stuff that just doesn't have the same feel (or function). Yet here in the Lego fandom, we can pretend it's still 2010 and enjoy a friendlier internet here on Eurobricks! Thanks to all the moderators and other forum staff who have kept this going! I really appreciate being able to come here

    By the nature of the technology, it's really only economical on small batches of parts (or where the geometry doesn't allow traditional molding). I'd say this is a perfect use case, but I wouldn't expect to see it on mass-market sets, unless maybe the numbers work out for a one-off design that will never be needed in another set?

    Nice, I love that you did that! I'm noticing the green Bugatti in these posts, and I think somehow I missed that one's release! I'm a sucker for green, so that looks pretty sweet to me
  10. 2GodBDGlory
    Nice job, that's well done! And wow, it really does seem to be increasing exponentially!
  11. 2GodBDGlory
    Oh, interesting about the 48T gear! I don't think I had ever seen that before
  12. 2GodBDGlory
    Ah, you're right! I feel less regret now, since 48T would have been more useful:
  13. 2GodBDGlory
    Wasn't the Lego Movie one a 48T gear? That's my memory of it, at least
  14. 2GodBDGlory
    Wow, dang! When I saw that mentioned in a different thread I was hoping it would finally be the 48T gear, but that looks far bigger! Definitely cool that it exists, since more gears are always good! I'm not sure how many uses I'll find for it though
  15. 2GodBDGlory
    It'd be cool to see that part used in an application like this!

    At least for me, I hardly care what Technic sets are released, as long as we keep getting good, new parts. I actually don't think I've bought a Technic set since early 2020, and I think the newest set I've bought was a 2017 set! (Though I have been gifted a few sets, and won a few sets in contests. I did kind of buy the 42145 Airbus, but that was with proceeds from selling a different set I got as a contest prize, so I don't count it) Even though I haven't bought sets in that long, it wasn't because of the quality of sets--there were plenty of good sets newer than 2017! I'm just cheap, and have been at the point where my collection is big enough for the MOCs I want to build, so I have no need to buy more full sets. That being said, I guess I do care about the health of the theme as far as it fosters the community. If the theme died outright, sure I could keep building my MOCs for decades to come, but I doubt the community would be anywhere near as vibrant, which would take a lot of fun out of it.

    Ooh, I'm always happy to see Land Cruiser action! That is an interesting remote--I wonder what the system it's with looks like. Too bad it doesn't seem to have Technic connection points on it, though.
  18. 2GodBDGlory
    Looks really nice!
  19. 2GodBDGlory
    I do like to see Technic and System merged, so that sounds like a cool approach to take for the future!
  20. 2GodBDGlory
    True, I do get the impression that the set itself was well-received, it was just the price that made a massive asterisk over it.
  21. 2GodBDGlory
    I don't think we've had any completely lost years yet. To list what I would guess is the most popular set from each of the past years: 2026: Unimog 2025: 42209 Volvo L120 Electric Wheel Loader 2024: Nothing stands out as obviously the best, but I think the 42182 Moon Rover, 42177 Mercedes G, and the 42175 Volvo Combo were all decently well received 2023: 42157 John Deere 948L-II Skidder or 42158 NASA Mars Rover Perseverance 2022: 42145 Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter. I'd say 2023-2024 didn't have any super standout sets, but 2022, 2025, and potentially 2026 all had at least one really good set.

    Yeah, it is a shame that the gearbox takes up the trunk, but given the choice between having a trunk or a gearbox in my Technic model, I'd definitely choose the trunk! Also, while I do love to see more complex suspension setups (and put them in my MOCs), more realistic alternatives would probably be less sturdy and harder to assemble, which does become a larger consideration for a mass-production set like this model
  23. 2GodBDGlory
    That indeed looks very well done! I can imagine that body shape would be quite challenging to model recognizably, but you've done a really good job. It's too bad there had to be that bulge in the trunk, but it's obviously necessary to include the gearbox and other mechanisms, so it's worth it!
  24. 2GodBDGlory
    Cool stuff! We need to get some hyper-exclusive forum badge going on for that!
  25. 2GodBDGlory
    Wow, I'm glad to see an update on this! It's such an ambitious and unique model
