Exactly! Well, I can tell you that these media won't have the news a moment sooner than EB, so keep an eye on our frontpage as well

This is the topic for 2017 set discussion and the other topic is for the 2018 sets. This topic will remain open, just like previous year's topics.

The BMW i8 should have been brought earlier. It's definitely a candidate...or should I say....it definitely WAS a candidate. Too late for the i8 imho. Since TLG had/has a great relation with BWM it makes sense for them to do another project, so maybe there's a successor to the i8.

This was what we concluded, but since the last tests, we know this is not the case. Might still have something to do with the server or the database. I expect the former. Since this is the case I might as well switch back to the Technic theme.

Yes, let's do this!!

Prime example is the 42069, where everybody was like "meeehhhhhh" and now it's everyone's favorite. The new rally car looks unfinished, but it will likely be changed here and there. I agree that not every set will change drastically, but we need to be careful by judging prelim images. It's definitely okay to be critical, but I like to maintain a friendly tone of voice instead of bashing TLG or TLG designers. I'd like to think that we can do better than Facebook users This... ...and this!

I will end this conversation shortly, so say what you have to say. After that we will get back to discussing the sets. Or I will lock the topic until the Toy Fair, but where's the fun in that. One thing that does bother me a bit is that we are discussing prelim images and we have all seen that a prelim design can (and will) be changed before launch. So, I'd rather see these images as teasers instead of a base upon we are discussing the designer's ability to make a decent set. Let's keep that discussion for January This

I have looked into the browsing problem and since we have created a new unedited default theme, the Ajax browsing option is turned on again. That's what is causing the browsing problem again. I don't want to change anything at the moment to show Invision that the poll is also broken when using their theme. So bear with me for a couple of days. We will get this nasty bugger

Interesting. Noted. Thanks. Maybe it's related.

What I'm saying is that I think that TLG will be sticking to one blue....dark azure. It only took a while for them to choose the right one.

Indeed. Let's not start a SD discussion (in the 2017 topic) while we are still waiting for definitive info on the MF.

Looking at it in more detail, I think this might very well be the real thing. I am surprised about the riggings, but other than that it looks like a legit build.

Exactly this! I have seen this picture earlier this year and the riggings really made me doubt the legitimacy. Seems like a cop out. And what about the new canopy piece? Would it be too far fetched to think this might be a diversion instead of the real thing.

Okay, this gives me hope. So there are people without a working poll?!? (which is good in this case)

So besides Jopie you all have succesfully voted. Thanks.

Your vote has not been registered.

Here we go again. Please vote.

No asking for pictures in the discussion topics!

Please don't quote the entire post. Especially when you aren't even referring to it. And let's stick to the set discussion. We all know there will be a big car project in 2018, so your answer is of little value.

There's a new 2018 topic.

I think that TLG is turning to dark azure as their preferred color blue. Not based on any information, just a feeling I have. Dark azure works well with a lot of different colors. So the previous light blues will not be used often anymore.

You probably mean "Yes, the catamaran is dark azure whoop whoop" (I do like dark azure best, did it show?!)

+1 from me. That US Ambulance is stunning.

Thanks for the awesome review! Great quality pictures! I love your writing style and compliments on the parts section. Very interesting. That vent though.....

This is a good example of how to show respect, while having a negative opinion
