hm, works fine for me... first video @ https://www.youtube.com/c/promobricks/videos

here's a video of the new 42141 McLaren https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKuYH1Dmy44

it has already been resold at a discounted price by a reputable shop for around 180 € here in Germany, but now that you mention it, I came across a number of shops mentioning the beginning of March..guess I'll just wait until then

what do you guys think the price for 42130 will drop down to? is 150 € or below realistic? it is the first set in a while i'd like to buy, but currently it is either unavailable or too expensive...

in this picture it looks really flimsy and hideous imho

surely you mean 40000 or even 400000, right?

imho it looks quite nice the way it is right now...

oh wow, that looks hideous

shame on me, I totally did not read the "b-model" part...plz ignore my previous statement:>

@aol000xw I honestly can't imagine TLG bringing out such a niche model..

ah, thank you:)

just finished building it...can anyone please tell me in which step I might have missed applying stickers #25?

first of all, thanks for the review, I can't wait to finally own this set (although I was hesitant at first because of the look of the cabin) but excuse what may be a stupid question: how come you already have this set, when the set won't be released until 1st of august?

thanks for your answers, almost what i suspected the thread blakbird's mentioned is quite a fun read^^

i've come across this auction on ebay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Famous-Car-Technik-Baukasten-mit-Lego-Figur-Ferrari-Fiorano-599-GTB-8145-/321302495805?pt=DE_Allesf%C3%BCrdKind_Spielzeug_Lego&hash=item4acf1f023d it explicitely says that it's not affiliated in any way with TLC, but the parts look just like the real deal from what i can tell. furthermore, i'm quite sure that i've seen this car as an MOC somewhere around here... has anyone ever bought this or a comparable set and can tell me something about his experiences? i mean, 70€ for 1,3k pieces is quite a bargain i guess, and from the looks of it, the parts might just be compatible... so, any remarks?

aw man, this is hard so many joints, motors, gears, actuators...i haven't chosen wisely for my first project in ages:D also i don't want to rip off somebody else's design, so after a week or so now i am still testing different designs for the claw, the turntable etc. no real success so far...

i guess you're right, pneumatics would also eliminate the problem i'd be having with cable length..my first design used a linear actuator with a motor right behind it..even if i used the IR as an extension the cable wouldn't be long enough to reach the battery pack i want to install in the chassis are there by any chance lego extension cords?

so i started building the grapper arm, and already i see that this is going to be complicated..there are 3 joints that need to be positionable, i'm having trouble with the "claw"-design, not sure whether to use gears, pneumatics or LAs..oh, and not to speak of powering the whole thing:D at the moment im testing different designs for the claw, i'll keep you guys updated when i've found something i feel comfortable with oh, and on a side note, as i mentioned i started building top-down, should i rather have started from the bottom, i.e. the turntable?

gee thx, i really like the g1 guardian..i'll try my luck with that one...and i'll also try to keep you guys updated if you don't hear from me in say a month i'll probably have failed:>

thx for the ideas so far, i especially like the mine sweeper idea, although i should have mentioned in the OP that i don't necessarily want to build something that actually exists, i am just looking for ideas for "gadgets" to include in the moc, powered by pneumatics/actuators etc. i'm really sorry for my somewhat stupid questions and "demands", but after finishing what i've built so far my brain seems to be completely empty:D

hi, this is my first post in this forum iirc, so first let me introduce myself: im ludi, im 30 yrs old and i'm an afol from germany. i've had lego since i was a kid, and now after a 15 yr pause i have bought four of the new studless sets (excavator, supercar, unimog, crawler). boy, lego has changed a lot over the years! but now to the topic of this thread: i've started building a tracked/treaded(?) vehicle, but after building the chassis i've come to a dead end. i don't want to build a tank or something like that, but i'm not quite sure WHAT i'm going to build:] i want my moc to have lots of moving, remote-controlled features, maybe pneumatics, linear actuators etc. so maybe one of you guys and girls could give me some input as to what i could include in my build, any suggestions are welcome! thx in advance for your suggestions:]
