    Pure win! seriously, I absolutely love it!
  2. agrof
    We can say, this C model is made according to Your usual high standards, Bravo!
  3. agrof
    Wow, much better, than expected, excellent B-model as well, I am sold on this one! Do I see correctly, that the bed of the B-model can be even rotated?

    Wow, I did not expect that level of sturdiness of the construction! I am truly amazed by your commitment, and engineering, very inspiring. I am confident to say: this is the best developed and executed, while most capable Off-Road (or overall RC) Lego MOC, ever. Period.

    @Didumos69 Thanks for the explanation, I used to use the flexibility of the parts and the system, it was just surprisingly "radical" from You. Glad to see the improvements though, I do miss such a part, which allows proper going-through-connection in cases like this with the suspension arm. One more hint: in Stud.io there is black rubber color, which gives for the tires more realistic appearance for Your awesome renders. This is something, what we already tested in this very project, I put the post here, might be useful for some:

    Looks like the love children of 9397 and 42043 - and as those are my 2 favorite truck sets, what's not to like on this MOC?
  7. agrof
    Nice render! Isn't the half blue pin connection inside of the suspension arm illegal build though (no way to build or separate without stretching the part)? I liked the first solution better, which is stronger?

    @Sariel This is a worthy note, 1 L-motor only, and keep the space for additional as upgrade ability! Lower set price, but in case extra sell due to extra motor purchase - could be win-win for project success and for TLG marketing* / aftermarket sales. Maybe something useful for project update, fingers crossed! edit: marketing blabla * Drive through any obstacles with this powerfull 4x4 Jeep with ease! If You want enormous performance, the model is easily upgradable with additional L-motor, to double the power! Let's rock!

    Agree, I am a silent follower of this topic, but every time I open it, I do enjoy what I see!

    Very cool Jeep, stylish and well working! I am also a bit on skeptical side, but rather due to the expected price. There is still a lot electric component packed into, which will be the biggest part of the cost packet. People will justify harder the price for a cute little model, when they can get a twice as big rig for the similar amount of money (9398, 42070). Yes, size still matters, especially for children. Also another point why I am on this opinion, is the voting surface. I didn't see this before - only in Your video Sariel, been never registered to Ideas -, that people must set their thoughts regarding the set. TLG cleverly integrated the market mapping into the voting system... What worries me mostly, that people must set the budget, and honestly, I feel most people will underestimate the cost of the built in components - here, the size of the final product is misleading too. Big car=big money, small car = small money. What else would they say, they are LEGO employees. Sorry for being on the sober side, I do appreciate the MOC, even better formulated: I love it!

    Such an amazing project, I love the idea and the way You give birth for Your rainbow models!

    Thanks for the answers!

    @Zerobricks I have couple questions, which is not clear to me - I read through this topic and BuWizz site too. 1. How to apply? I found this link on BuWizz site, but it is not clear what to write (link to video in message? Just send any word to get further to access for proper description???): https://buwizz.com/buwizz-competition-aplication/ 2. Where to apply? Eurobricks - separate topic / Eurobricks - this topic / BuWizz site - back to question 1. 3. How will be the voting arranged? See question 4 related. 4. Is this an Eurobricks related BuWizz contest, or an open world contest? Your text in this topic and voting description suggests the first, while this link on BuWizz site suggests the second: https://buwizz.com/buwizz-small-car-competition/ I think these informations would be quite usefull for everybody who has interest in this contest.

    Welcome here, it looks like You brought us a real beast! Looks very promising in the pictures, waiting for the video!

    @nico71 @Anio Congratulations! Looks like a very cool project, and better than the Honda advertisement - I mean some sub-parts are mechanically complex enough and would deserve a stand-alone introduction. A question though: You say there is no RC part in the builds, but honestly I have hard times to figure out how the superstructure rotations at 0:43-0:52 were realized... especially at the first one there is a visible stop before it is turning further. So a detailed line tour with presentation of all the sub-parts and their working would be super interesting!
  16. agrof
    Wow, that was pretty neat, I could never achieve that! Though I find those wheels oversized, they do the work pretty well. Thanks @kbalage for the footage and the test, I hope You could enjoy that well... but that view, is hard to beat. Also congratulations for being interviewed by Blocks Hungary.
  17. agrof
    I like it!nGreat idea, and nice presentation, enjoyed.

    @icm Thanks for bringing another aspect in, I didn't thought about this. Still, if it is so, I think it is a very slim segment of market to be targeted... but I am really unfamiliar with coloring-book-people or whoever was the target for this product. The commercial is still strange/awkward, doesn't create the big picture to me.
  19. agrof
    Indeed, that is the moment, when I had the feeling, I am looking at something fundamentally unnatural social behaviour - served with this spoonfeed narrative... This whole concept is just wrong. Wait, maybe not just wrong but also BAD. I have the impression that this commercial degrades adult humans for stupid incapable naive beings. The opening dives us into the spirit of creativity - the state of mind when one creates an unique, custom materalized or philosophical (or whatever) something to express feelings, thoughts, anything. Think of sculpting for example. After this intro, they bring us a mass product, created by following the step by step instructions (1 part per page I guess)? Customisation means to buy another set with another skin, and attach the pre produced skin into the very same frame to the very same spots? Did I understood this right? Good boy, you were able to buy, follow the instructions without thinking, YEAH - you ARE creative and unique by buying even more sets! This is so contradictory, isn't it ?! The old style sets, with 3 or more different models were more eye-opening, and motivating for being creative (MOCing). I hope this line will end as soon as possible.

    Finally! This is exactly what I need, and always wished for being released by TLG. The perfect electric system, if it will be proven as good quality, I am sold.
  21. agrof
    An expedition truck? What I especially like, that it is both hands-on and motorized model. Best fun! Forgot to praise the aesthetics... now I did, I guess.

    I am just about to leave China. I was around Shanghai and area + Hong Kong. As AFOL, I have kept an eye on LEGO and must say, it is not only a premium product, but premium premium here. Actually I saw only at places, where You can buy luxury products only. Surprisingly, I even saw advertisement to encourage not to buy fake products (on TV, and in malls). Does it make a difference? I don't think so, as who can afford to buy, he/she will. Looking at the country size and how much wider the social scissor opens here, there is market for copycats. Also the media is filtered well, people will not get the message about stolen MOCs, even if they would be interested (insert massive skepticism here). Feel the issue size compared to reality from this perspective. Till the local government doesn't decide to do against (and this can happen if TLG makes them interested by market share-tax, etc), we can keep shouting. My best advice is: keep on MOCing for fun, and sharing for the pleasure. Who appreciates and understands, will even pay (I do).
  23. agrof
    Really good looking one!
  24. agrof
    The manifestation of my gut feeling when I first saw 42081... and how an excellent MOD! Just makes the set perfect. I really believe, that not making the original set pneumatic, is a missed opportunity (see: mistake) by TLG.

    @Thirdwigg Those Unimogs are AWESOME, love the whole concept and how well You captured the shapes. Fine details are the cherry on the cake.
