  1. Nice find! I think those are 8mm wheels with a pin hole instead of blocked axle hole. Interestingly there are also 4x Skyline GT-R wheel covers included in this set too.
  2. Recolor of 14T Thick Gear 69762 in dark orange, new in the N1. I believe this will be used in the upcoming Koenigsegg Hypercar.
  3. It's officially out: https://decadastore.com/products/cada-1-8-scale-alpine-a525-formula-1-car-building-kit-2173pcs-c64012w + the 1:24 scale little brother and also the Toyota GT.
  4. I have very low expectations for the Unimog considering that they pretty much phased out PUp and sold off the pneumatic elements on PAB last year (all you can find is the large grey cylinder, pump and switch + some hoses).
  5. A true masterpiece and finally a car model every commoner can relate to and actually see irl. This set will sell like hot cakes in Europe and this color scheme will brighten up every adult boys heart. Love the rims and the new Conti tires. They make up 1/3 of the cars esthetics. This is how it's done properly. @T Lego Are there any other new elements that were designed specifically for this model? The only nitpick I have is the use of trans clear plates for the rear view mirror instead of a 1x3 inverted tile and using blue pins with cross axle that are visible in some spots. Luckily we can swap them out with black ones from CaDA. I bought 50x for the 1:10 black RUF. Probably won't be enough for this set too.
  6. Here's a better look at the new Technic part used in combination with those new gear rack plates we saw in the Education sets: https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/designs/015117963-0003 https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/designs/015117963-0002 https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/designs/015117963-0001 9M Technic Wheel from Education: https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/designs/015110889-0001 The 2x2 cylindrical Technic brick and the worm gear frame used in the Artemis SLS have also been patented. https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/designs/015119489-0007 https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/designs/015119489-0004 That new 1x2 Technic brick with ball joint actually looks like this:
  7. @SNIPE That part was on the EOL list for PaB parts and on clearance sale 50% off, so they won't restock that part ever. BL is your only hope. I too missed out on some Technic EOL parts that were 50% off in December, but the resellers quickly gulped up all the stock and now BL is full of them. Win-Win for TLG because they get money twice.
  8. @TimorzelorzworzGreat work on this alternate model! Wish we would get more old-school cars instead of modern race cars that are too curvy to work well in Lego.
  9. No, the tires are 62.4 x 20. You can clearly see it in duckbricks short from FMD.
  10. They keep putting Arocs wheels in Icons sets instead of making a proper Technic set again.
  11. The only "brown" 1:8 hypercar anyone should buy is the Maserati Gran Turismo. That one is done properly in a really nice metallic brown copper and fully motorized too.
  12. I think TLG will just use reddish brown for the parts (e.g. log liftarm in the Harvester), because a new metallic color would blow their budget, so the car will look like a brown turd with lots of blue and yellow pins and axles sticking out.
  13. Further details of the IVECO Bus. Sadly it's just system bricks, no Technic functions at all: https://www.themodelworkshop.co.uk/cada-bricks-1-43-iveco-crossway-bus-832-pcs-c59007w.html Nice idea for the packaging of the dinosaur fossils trio: https://www.themodelworkshop.co.uk/cada-bricks-tray-of-3-dinosaur-eggs-with-stegosaurus-triceratops-velociraptor.html These are pretty cool:
  14. @SaperPL I've printed your XXL turntable on my P2S FDM printer in PLA (top) and PETG (bottom) and it turned out great! Still a little high friction despite of lubing it with grease, but I hope it will wear in. This part is huge and built like a tank, even though I used 50% sparse infill, it weighs 34g. As I said, the only thing that would have made this turntable even better was having inner gear teeth as well. One thing I notice on the injection molded production part is that they made the grey bottom part a bit higher so that the black top parts thrust face is not on the same level as the bottom surface to not cause friction. They also changed from 4 large outer clips to 6 thinner ones to make the clips more flexible and fitment easier.
