    Fantastic cooperation, really well replicated, packed with awesome details! The left rear tire is to be corrected in the part list though, I think it is 6594.

    Refreshening creation, I just love it! It is proven again, that Technic is great medium for robotics and mechanical experiments.

    If it works, than it works, I see no harm to have Madoca's vibe - might need confirmation from staff, if the contest rules allow to use previously seen detail solutions. Still, if TC17 would be a crawler competition, than for sure yes, but considering the theme of TC17, I think there is no unfair advantage here. I like this rig, though too brutal for my taste, like the details like the triggers of the spring guns.

    I nominate this fake valve system for "MOC - Innovation of the year" award!

    Or use, the more hobby specific Bricksafe.

    Every Unimog You make, has my attention. I love this one, and hope I will be lucky to build it once. BTW, Lego Parts Store (via missing parts) has these tires and the new diff for quite affordable prices. Just extended my inventory. ?

    This just came across, I think it is worth to share - by alexandrerossier. Pretty rad stuff.

    One small step towards this, I have Lego Movie 2 prologue feeling... We definitely need more TC17 entries now!

    Looks nice, only the cab looks oversized...not to mention the handrails...

    For 250 EUR it is better be bulky!

    Agree, this combo can give a solid platform for the LA-s. Also some bevel gears and bracket built solution could be done. I am interested in this one, but not very excited about. I hope for Unimog tires, they would be more realistic in terms of pattern.

    Now we are talking @M_longer! Looks very promising, great job. For the cabin, I recommend complete redesign to bring the scale back again. I think, here something similar to 8053 would be more proper / coherent.

    I associated to this, relying on my hungarian memories. @Aleh I agree with the others, You did your best, it is his turn.

    That email address looks like a company account - thus very possibly your emails land in spam / blocked by firewall. Try answer him only via single email without any attachment, and explain the situation. Try it from another email account as well, as your original address might be blocked as default by now. Is there no contact (phone, mobile) in the signature - if there is any? I would give him a call, if so.

    @shugo Good quality videos, but I miss the detailed demonstration of the functions (what does what and how, at least at 42108) - hope this helps to improve. Anyhow, keep up with the show! As I see, the steering angle is pretty limited on 42108, thus the turning radius is quite big. Is that correct? Please help me fuel the fire of hate!
  18. agrof
    Yes, it does float.

    Aside my love towards buggies, I agree, that this small fella (42101) is a good one, dare to say, excellent for it's size! Buggy, Buggy, BUGGY!

    There is no embargo for private persons, who could buy the sets in shops (by mistake put products on shelf). This can happen every year. Let's be happy, that we have news! I am only sorry for official reviewers, like Sariel, KBalage, Anio... they have now serious backlash. Feels unfair. TLG should bring back the earlier embargo date - not to mention, that might be not devilish (from sales point of view) to release H1 sets already before Christmas... p.s.: 42108 is still the worst set, ever.
  21. agrof
    Gents, it is a bit generous to call moaners people, who are not satisfied with a specific set. 42043 hands down the best, but You can take 42048 - which was decent for what it is, and the list could go on. To bring the sunlight back to the forum, there is dedicated topic for the best sets, feel free to put the praises over there, maybe it is the time to recall some good memories.

    @vectormatic We agree on the trend of weaker and weaker B-models... though I don't see as solution, to not to create any B model than at all. B models should show the possibilities, to open the eye of children to use their creativity and inspire them for MOCing. I wouldn't like to push this job on AFOLs and TFOLs. This should be core value of LEGO. Inspire creativity and development? Only the best is good enough? Sounds like empty phrases nowadays. Sounds overstated for sure, I admit there are still good sets in the portfolio, but we definitely see the degradation as we look back. We can indeed note as symptoms the re-releases and some sets You also named. And here we are one step closer to the floor in 2020 H1 with 42108. Sorry for the slightly off-topic discussion, I might be depressive as I don't get my cycling portion... apologies.

    Maybe it was not an academic statement from my side, but I believe I still can stand my opinion. 42070 - many say it is bad, but aside of the drivetrain I don't think it is THAT bad, with proper working functions. + B model. 42076 - well, it was something new, and all functions worked properly. + B model 42077 - I built it, and liked it. It is a good looking big empty shell mostly, but was good for the target audience (low budget big car lovers). + B model. 42088 (I would count 42041 here too) - At least it is a proper working set. + B model. 42108 - proportions are out of the scale, nothing new or innovative - saying this, despite I love mobile cranes. Cheap and akward solution with the outriggers. NO B model. Some points can be argued based on preference, but the latter - NO B model is only "understandable" and forgivable in case of licensed sets, but here it is such a wound on the Technic heritage... Also, not to mention, that this set is coming from the same designer who made the great Volvo EW 160 (42053) - which had a B model! As such, I dare to say, it is the worst.

    This is unfortunately no excuse. There is ALWAYS a way, here we see the result of rushed, unloved work. I really wanted this set to be my next order, but this is the worst model in the last decade... ugly, no B-model, not only lazy but annoying operation. "Congratulation" for all the involved members who developed and approved this. It would have been even better to re-release the 8041/42041 again... I definitely don't like the direction of Technic, my mood and love is being devastated.
