2026 Technic Sets Discussion

Yeah absolutely. TLG will surely know the numbers. However, they are only making it worse by not releasing decent construction equipment anymore. And when they do it's like a $400+ Volvo Excavator with a single motor. -
2026 Technic Sets Discussion
Jim replied to Auroralampinen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is cause and effect. There are hardly any decent construction sets, so are these numbers representable? If TLG would release 90% construction sets instead of cars, the stats would probably be different. -

I wonder if the other brick brands might be better off creating construction vehicles instead of copying TLG. -

I'm sure you are right, otherwise TLG would not pursue this path, yet.....I would love to see the numbers. -

They are just fun little builds. We are not exactly the target audience. These are sets you grab at the counter, just for fun. -

It does scream collectible to me. Or it's 8-in-1....not sure :D -

2026 Technic Sets Discussion
Jim replied to Auroralampinen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I remember having the Porsche review ready and everybody was waiting for the clock to turn to midnight, so I could publish the review! The good old days. I definitely don't want to do reviews anymore, so it's all fine now, but I do remember the days....and that day was fun. Nowadays, it's 99% about cars in Technic and I haven't have the urge (besides two F1 cars to complete my collection) to buy new Technic sets. I really hope there will be a new set scratching my itch. -

I think he was just being cynical towards his own government They would call it a day and job's done -

Nope. Mine is gone too. I know @aFrInaTi0n has been playing around with some stuff. Maybe that's the reason. -

That was more or less what I was thinking about. -

You are not annoying. I am thinking what would be a nice theme to add to the contest. Did we have a Duo build in the past? Build two MOCs of no more than 300 grams each. (somewhat along the lines of the B-model, but without the need to use the same parts) -

That is always the case with more generic subjects. -

Or simply....build something with a weight limit of 500 gram. -

I'm fine either way. The contest setup is ready. Just need to fill in the weight limit.
