I already have the first two pictures. I thought the guy said he had pictures of the other sets too.

Wai, wai, wai, wait! You have the pictures?! Could you send them to me through PM?

Oh man! It looks better than the real thing!!

Yah, when it comes out, you can buy a hundred of them from the LEGO company. But I am not dead because it has no suspension, I wouldn't expect it to have suspension.

Considering these sets are going to be here for the first half, they're pretty cool. However the f1 racer with no suspension will be a let down but I figure that is too much to ask for a 1h set. The handler may be cool. It looks compact and maybe as dense as 8043 (lots of gears!).

I don't get it. Can't TLG declare plagiarism and sue these clone companies?

I wouldn't call 8110 a crawler. More of its fun comes out of it arm while the fun the comes out of a crawler comes out of the crawling. And no one has fun crawling a crawler by hand. I really don't care about the price, as long as it 180 euros and under. Now 8297 is a set that is fun to drive around.

Holy mackerel does that Unimog U4000 look so good! Great job!

Oh no DLuders, why did you show Blakbird's collection. Now I feel jealous!!

That's true but what is the point of crawling when you have to crawl it by hand? The kids sure won't have fun with that. Anyways, a set that allows you to add motors would be the same cost as already having them inside; you'll have to buy the motors extra.

That's nice but what is one going to do with a manually operated crawler? That sure would be a boring set . Anyways, a crawler would only be popular if it was rc (like 9398) and not some truck that runs away from once you turn it on . In addition, I think TLG should make some rc parts pack for sets (like 8293).

This is how MOCers settle disputes. Maturely and respectfully. Scott, you are a very truthful man.

I really don't think these huge crawlers will make it pass the judges. Only the suitable sized ones will make it. All I really want to see is basically the xl motor reintroduced in 2013.

In the past couple of years (like 2), Technic sets have greatly reduced in technical complexity. I mean, compare 9398's gears and transmission with the transmission of 8110. And then compare 8110 technical complexity with 8043's crazy gearbox! The advantage with 9398 is it is more fun to "play" with then any other set.

Its nice, but more detail could have been put in if the scale was enlarged. Still amazing though.

No, I really think the answer to 07 is 8294 excavator.

Very, very good and thorough. 8421 needs to be considered to be re-released.

The formula car looks nice but are the tires fatter than normal? Also, the crawler thing is cool but the picture gives very little information (no size indication, nothing. Except for the functions).

Does rechargeable batteries give you maximum performance? I was also wondering, would these new v2 ir receivers give 8043 better performance (because they get more power to the motors [ I have no clue with this technical electrical stuff])?

Well, it looks like we finally got something about next years 1h line up. Check it out here on Technicbricks. All I hope is this F! is a real eye popper. It seems to be red and white, pretty unique. What do you guys have to say about this line up?

Very nice. You really make it look solid and sturdy.

Is it me or is something wrong with the Technic website. I don't know if it is happening with you but the 2008 and 2009 product line are online, but they are not available. I think this is a checkup or some mistake they made. I did not do any retouching or anything (but I have to admit, 8297 does look a little different than the other model renders on the left).

I still don't know why TLG likes to place the m-motor on side ways .

Crazy ! How do people fit so much in so little. this is truly a role "model" model for the LEGO company (see what I did there).

Yes, yes it does . I have many different sized models and for some reason, the motorcycle is bigger than my trucks. Also, it would be to expensive to have all the models scaled similarly. If everything was the same scale as 8051, than no one would by them (as it would be too expensive) .
