Ok, one issue with this theory. The bed from arocs is wayy too narrow, long and tall and it is really wonky scalecompared to the 8110 cabin. So i don't think they will repurpose these part. But i can be wrong. But unimog and arocs are build completely different scales so if they mismatch these bits the set will stand out like sore thumb because of their different scales:).

I think the unimog will have 2000-2500pcs since, 2020. [1:8] 18+ 42115, 3696pcs. 11+ 42114, 2193pcs. 2022. [1:8] 18+ 42143, 3778pcs. 11+ 42145, 2001pcs. 2024. [1:8] 18+ 42175, 3894pcs. 10+ 42175, 2275pcs. So lego has been really consistent about their same year 1:8 scale cars and their non 1:8 scale "cars" for 6 years. So i think the unimog will have 2000-2500pcs. But the G500 had 2891pcs. So the unimog might have over 3000pcs since the 2026 1:8 scale car has over 4000pcs. But for the past 6 years the 1:8 scale car has always had around 1000pcs more than the non 1:8 scale real flagship set. So if the unimog vas 2500pcs the piece gap between the 1:8 and the flagship would be around 2000pcs which is insane and should not happen. But then again the 8110 had 2048pcs so the insane 2000pcs gap isin't unheard off:).

And countless unimog alternative and custom builds on rebrickable. The G500 has allready 2 unimog alternative builds, the 42126 has one, 42129 has 2, 42213 has 3. The 42180 and 42178 has a combine alternative model of an unimog, 42150 has one , 42110 has one, 42141 has 2, 42108 has one, 8290 has one, 42082 has one, 42093 has one, 42139 has one, 42118 has one, 8446 has one. The 42120 and 42135 has a combine alternative model of an unimog. Ok, i have to stop there are too many alternative and custon unimogs allready on rebrickable. So lego does have now a ton of comparison just like with the mustang hoonicorn:).

And i want to make it clear im not an anti AI shill im slightly optimistic about AI but so far the AI's future seems really grim. It has only been used for replacing workers which is bad. But where i draw the line is with childrens toys. Kids should have their own imagination and with lego's new Smart Play AI+ system with it’s AI rubbish i have now fear that this will demolish kids imaginative play since AI will help them and lego was always a creative toy where you could make anything with your imagination. But the new Smart Play AI+ system will completely destroy this thing because now kids can just ask the AI assistent for help to create imagination which is bad and with always on internet connection plus always lissening microphone plus the new subscription model. The new AI+ system seems really really bad. Like basically any moder company has been hacked so what if lego's new smart play system was hacked because it is on internet always with microfone on. Some one with malicious feelings could secretly record voices of kids and i know phones laptops and tv's can too lissen to us. But do we really need a another new gadget which is lissening to us. I don't think so. So that's i wont buy for my kids any lego sets. Because lego is a huge corporation now with no intentions of lissening to fans and it's not anymore a family business. I will buy my kids lego's competitors because i don't support lego's new Smart Play AI+ system. I don't want my kids imagination to be destroyed by a multi billion euro company like lego. So hopefully my protest will send a clear message to lego that we don't want a Smart Play AI+ system to our kids toy box. It's sad that lego isin't anymore the child focused company. But instead it's now again anothern modern greedy mega corporation which will do anything to get more profits from customers and the new AI+ system's monthly subscription model will help them get more revenue which for me is not good. So i will do the right thing now and i will cut all ties to lego after may since i don't want at all support lego's AI adventures and one more interesting thing. After racing brick deleted the original post about the launch of the Smart Play AI+ system it has been radio silence. Which seems really bad and interesting. But anyway hopefully this will clear more of the water about my resistent for the new Smart Play AI+ system:).

Allright a little monthly update :). At the end of the march i released the Mechatech Mechadozer which has been a success for me:). And i have not started to build new mocs and it's pretty interesting that i have been consistent with new moc releases so far. My new current moc release schedule is around 3 months:). And to sad stuff:(. In 1.4.2026 lego released the Smart Play AI+ system. But because of the massive amount of backlash the original reveal post by racingbrick has been deleted. But luckily i made a reaction video to that:). So going foward since i don't want to support any of lego's new AI monthly subscription adventures. I have made a clear decision to stop buying lego all together. So my last purchase will be the may's minifigure series because i really want one of those figures:). But after that my support for lego is gone this won't affect my moc building. I will buy my lego's second hand and i will study to use brick owl. So my money won't any more go straight to lego. The Smart play AI+ system was a devastating launch. Because i was a childhood fan for lego i growed up with lego. But after this launch i have cut all ties to lego and i will not anymore review any offical lego sets. But im still hopefully some day lego will learn from this massive mistake and retract the new Smart Play AI+ system and hopefully lego will release a offical apology post. Because i will not accept on a offline brick building hobby to have always on internet connections, monthly subscriptions, always lissening microfones, etc... So That's why i have now stopped all purchases for new lego sets and i won't come back. Until something changes at the lego and they will scrap the new Smart Play AI+ System. But until then im not anymore a lego fan and the childhood trust for lego is gone so far forever:). But i will end this with a positive note:). I have now reached my monthly bicycle travel goal. Last month i had a silent goal that i will drive 300km on march and the end result was i cycled 328km so above my goal and im really really happy now:).

Ok, i have now spend more time with the Mechatech Mechadozer and my long term opinions are these:). +My Best Functioning model, everything works soo well, this is not slightly slow like the Mechatech Mechavator and the controls are wayyy better than on the Mechatech Logging Truck. In the Mechatech Logging Truck the controls were a bit too crampt. This model fixed the controls. +My Best Looking moc so far:). I have made a lot of unique mocs previously and they look pretty good. But this model has by far the best looks. Mechatech Mechadozer looks like something from 2010 era of golden technic sets and while this does use a few modern panels. They do blend in really nicely:). +Tracks, oh well, the tracks roll soo smoothly on all surfaces:). When i builded the 60466 i was blown away that the tracks rolled on all surfaces. Because when i was a little kid models with tracks would only roll in the carpets. But in 60466 they rolled on all surfaces and i tooked the bogie design from the 60466 and used rubber wheels and result is the most smoothly rolling manual technic model with tracks. Im soo happy with the tracks. While i have gotten a few negative comments about the tracks being too small on eurobricks well, in my experience they arent too small. But i might be a slightly biased. But i still would take the best rolling tracks over the more "properly" sized bigger tracks:). -The only negative what i have with this model. Is the exhaust pipe which controls the blade height adjustment. The exhaust pipe is slightly wobbly because of the design. But to be honest its a nitpick and on some offical technic models there are too a few wobbly bits. So i don't mind it:). Overall the Mechatech Mechadozer is an S tier moc. It has a few quirks. But still they come together as a cohesive model and they don't cause any problems and they are really minor. Compared to the insane level of playability which this model offers and at the end of the day. The good playability matters because offical technic models are now cars and their unique functions are non excistend there are only the basic stuff, no unique stuff sadly and all the "interesting" stuff are locked behind 400€ paywall and 18+ branding. The 42209 is the only white whale on these offical models which is sad. Because when i was a kid construction machines, trucks plus other weird unique stuff dominated the technic theme. Now its the same car with recycled functions on a new shell but every year slightly more expensive price tag. Oh man this sounds soo depressing. But luckily you depression is washed away when you play with the Mechatech Mechadozer:). So final rating/verdict:). Playability 5/5 Looks 4.5/5 Functions 5/5 My overall rating of this model 8.5/10 it's overall a great model and fun to play with:).

Ok, i had to react to the new Lego Smart Play AI+ system please enjoy my short:). Thankfully our backlash was soo huge that the original post has been deleted. But im still scared that lego can this suddenly enshittificate our belowed hobby:(. And, if you say well, it's aprills fools day. Well, this is not at all funny this is serious thing/issue and not a funny thing. Because soo many things in our lifes are enshittificated like this, and im happy that norwegians maded a funny video about this situation:).

Ok, cool lego seemingly taked notes from pantasy and started a community feedback survey. Well, i don't have hopes that this will change anything. But it's nice that lego at least tries to connect with fan base. Eventhought lego seemingly doesn't lissen to our complaints for technic having too many cars and not enought backhoe loaders:). http://youtube.com/post/UgkxeCYeb5wEChzv_8QQwqaP5WLaGjgpAqsO?si=A8P0ilsss9VcSvOp

Well, yesterday i launched the Mechatech Mechadozer and it seems like to be a instant success. But i have noticed a few comments highlighting the tracks being too small. Well, when i started to think the concept. My head instantly had an idea and vision to use the black tracks on the Mechadozer. But apparently they were too small. Well, i didn't have any issues with the tracks and they don't bother me plus they weren't downsized, that was my original idea to use black tracks. But if i make another bulldozer in the future i will make it to use the bigger tracks. But to be honest lego's 70-90s bulldozers were about the same size and they used the black tracks. So for me the black tracks aren't a issue. But thanks for pointing out this "flaw" and i will rework it on the new bulldozers. Because i do lissen to feedback and this was my first attempt to make a bulldozer so thanks guys for your honest feedback and improvement ideas:).

Yeah, my opinion koenigsegg, bugatti and pagani are at same level small manufacturers but they are really well known. Pagani cars are truely an art piece. While Bugatti and koenigsegg focuses on raw perfomance, speed and horsepowers, and its cool and impressive that Koenigsegg and Bugatti both have over 1000hp engines while koenigsegg uses smaller V8 instead of the bugatti's bigger W16, and still both can go 400km/h:).

Ok, amazing my most liked moc on rebrickable is the first Soapbox Collection model the Mini Dump Truck with 62 likes thanks a lot for the support, and on youtube the functions video has 1.2k views. Still the bigger dump truck the better 42203 with the crappy gen 1 instructions has over 8.6k views im shoked that i reached almost 10k views, oh wow:). And a little update i don't have currently any projects. But i have builded a prototypes to try out a few functions:). And so far the community reception for the Gen3 instructions are positive. So im happy that my hard work for improving free instructions has payed off, and i hope that for now i don't have create Gen 4 for a long time since Gen3 instructions are soo perfected over the Gen2.1 and over the first standard the crappy Gen1:). So i hope i will return soon with a new model so in the meantime stay safe and have fun time building:).

Hi again, it's time for a new pantasy set:). Specs. Brand, Pantasy. Model name, Table Fan. Model number, 85044. Release date, 01.03.2026. Piece count, 950. Special elements, BAS electronics and chromed elements. Price, 79.99€ on amazon de plus around 14.99€ shipping:). The box and shipping box:). The model arrived in a typical small amazon paper bag with no protection inside. But the model’s box arrived in relatevily good condition:). And the reason for paper bag delivery is for environmental reasons. Good job if this is true:). The box:). The artwork on the box is really beautiful and pretty. The box is medium sized, square shaped box:). Inside the box:). The box was 87% full:). Bags and instructions:). Inside there are 15 bags in total. 5 numbered bags, loose instructions booklet without protection and 1 unnumbered bag with blades plus a mystery pantasy branded blue bubble wrap envelope:). The instructions:). The Instructions booklet has 123 pages with 277 building steps:). So far this instructions booklet cover artwork is sadly the worst one by design:/. First pages of the book:). Last pages of the book:). The mysterious blue pantasy envelope:). The envelope had the most toughest glue in existent Luckily the mysterious envelope didn't include free money for positive review or illegal stuff. Phewww, I was a little bit worried:). The mysterious blue envelope included all the BAS elements. This is soo welcomed change that they do come protected. Nice and good job pantasy:). BAS electronics elements:). Unique elements, recolors, prints, etc… Ok, this printed piece came nicely protected in a bag:). The blades are in a nice metallic bronze/copper color:). Building Process:). Bag 1( 3 Bags in total). Bag 2 ( 3 Bags in total) Bag 3( 4 Bags in total) Bag 4( 2 Bags in total) Bag 5( 2 Bags in total) Spare parts:). Unique/questionable building solutions and tricks etc... :). This cable routing method worries me so much:/. Looks:). Functions:). ON/OFF switch, Motor driven blades. With a simple gearbox to make the upper structure swivel left to right:). Final note:). The Pantasy desk fan is overall a pretty good model with cool functions. However there are flaws, firstly the on off switch works really poorly and secondly the motor cable routing is questionable. A slight nitpick is that the model doesn't have any height adjustment. But to be honest i don't know if it was even possible to make without compromises so im happy that at least the upper structure swivels left to right:). And yes, the blades do create a nice small breeze:). The printed pieces are again top notch:). So do I recommend this set? :). Honestly yes, this is a nice small relatively affordable model with cool electronics. With the same money if you want an electronic set from lego your only option is the Lego smart play darth vader tie fighter smart brick crap set which is only available in 6 countries while pantasy is available basically everywhere, and pantasy’s BAS system is far superior electronic system than the smart play crap:). Pros and cons:). +Electronics included +Looks +Chromed pieces +Only prints +Value for money +Swivel function -/+No height adjustment -The ON/OFF switch design is a joke and it doesn't work 98% of the time. Final verdict:). Playability 4/5 Looks 5/5 Building experience 4.5/5 Value 5/5 Piece quality 5/5 Instructions 4.5/5 Functions 4/5

Yeah, i agree. But it's sad the alt bricks forums are a convoluted mess. It would be nice if there was just a one forum page for those. Just like lego forums has, and all alt bricks have their own, Facebook group etc... So that's why i do like posting my alt bricks reviews and stuff on eurobricks because this is the most simplest and easiest way to do it. Eurobricks has perfected so many things that the current alt bricks fans pages lack:).
