Descriptions are okay! Something like this (with a teddy bear attached to the grill) Did he mention Claas tires?! -

Hi Nick. This is not a wish or hope topic. Let's stick to the information we have. Furthermore, the information about the tires is pretty clear by now, so there's no need to hope. You can hope for 1H 2018 Here's the Future Wishes and Speculation topic. Go nuts! -

It wasn't quite easy to push it around flat surfaces....that was exactly the problem (I know what you mean, it just slides) -

You might think otherwise when you see it. I usually don't mingle in this discussion, but since the set names are available I will tell you what I think It might be a 6 wheeled truck with Claas tires and with some RC. Probably not for driving and steering. Most likely for the outriggers and crane. It might have outriggers, boom, winch, suspension (pendular). It might have all wheel drive. I doubt it has all wheel steering. It might be light blue with red elements. The tracked vehicle (Extreme Adventure) might be the love child of the Arctic vehicle and a Land Rover. Color scheme might be purple and yellow. This might be a rather odd fellow. This is what I think it might be, so don't judge me when I'm wrong. I don't have any pictures, so please don't PM. -

Andres (Zusammengebaut) will most likely be there on Wednesday, so he will have the first pictures of the new models. I was hoping to meet him there, but Wednesday will be difficult for me. -
Our very own SciFi Moderator Bob de Quatre has created this fantastic Docking Bay 410 for the SciFi Role Playing Game Andromeda's Gates. As usual with Bob's creations, there's a lot of cool stuff going on!

That's because the images are still loading @pogo That's a very nice creation. I really like it. However, your images are waaaaaay to big. Please post images with a maximum width of 1024 pixels. If you use an image hosting service like Bricksafe (very easy) or Flickr, you can upload the bigger versions and embed the smaller ones. Otherwise you will need to resize them. Can you correct them?

Check! Valid point Check...on both accounts. Have been to a Eurobricks event twice. It's good fun. Although the one in Billund is a bit more interesting "buying LEGO"-wise. -

Or I can bring a chair and a laptop My GF is interested in joining me, so I think wewill do the weekend. It's definitely a cool fair, not only for LEGO, but toys and games in general. One advantage of going a bit later is that you guys can compose a list with questions Very true. Actually there's very little holding me back. I work every other Friday, so I arrange the day off for that Friday. And the rest is quality time with the misses -

The Fair itself is pretty cheap. A hotel in Nuremberg is somewhat expensive for two nights, but I can do a hotel somewhere near Nuremberg. The costs are manageable Just wondering if it will be worth my while. The pictures will be available by the time I get there, but it might get some more information. And I need to find out whether you are allowed to take detailed pictures, that it's tolerated or that it's frowned upon. -

I have the option to go to the Nuremberg Toy Fair, but I'm not really sure. Conversation in the pub: And last year I have probably said that this is not a wish topic Just a few more weeks guys. Be patient. He didn't -

I have the option to go to the Nuremberg Toy Fair, but I have come to the conclusion that it's a 6,5 hour drive. This means I will need to take two days off, or go in the weekend. Either way I will need to book a hotel for one or two nights. When I go in the weekend, the first pics have already popped-up. Of course, there's much more than LEGO, so it's fun to go anyway. But I'm not really sure about it. -

I have split the Boost discussion into a separate topic. I know it's Technically a 2017 set, but I think it's better to discuss it separately. -

Agreed! We literally have zero information besides the Porsche being the first....of something. -
Technic 2017 Set Discussion
Jim replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Previous remarks (by TLG) stated that this was the first, indicating that there will be more. But it's my personal opinion that we won't get a new one next year. I think it's much too soon for a new €300 set. My best guess is that it won't be due in two years. -

You probably mean "do we know for sure that we WON'T get a follow-up this year?" -
Happy new year to all of the Eurobricks members and visitors. To start the new year with a fantastic gift, Paul (Crowkillers) Boratko's has provided free instructions for his Scorpion CK-R Supercar. Thanks to our very own Technic Regulator Eric (Blakbird) Aelbrecht for making this possible.
