Great, so the 10 people will find it useful to have stickers on mudguards for MOC's, the rest can enjoy them peeling off in 5-10 years. And while we're at it, if you end up applying stickers on almost all the panels to change the color you might as well make the parts in the right shade to begin with. Good choice LEGO! Some other companies might have produced the parts in metallic colors altogether, but here's for cost cutting.

Or most stupid... How about instead of punishing 15 people for 26 days to do this tedious job, make it digitally, print it out and just lower the set price for us regular folk who have 40h jobs and rent to pay.

What do you all think of the new BL logo and box color change to blue and calling the next BDP sets Wave 1, 2, 3... instead of continuing the Series numbering? I find it a stupid decision and it completely ruins consistency for one of the best themes. And I bet this revamping will bring more rule changes and submission guidelines too, they just didn't want to spill the beans yet. https://v2.bricklink.com/en-de/bdp-new-look

Hm, something is not quite right and I also have one part more. Maybe you can help me out figuring out how the dump bed is fixed. @anyUser perhaps? Never mind. I found the problem. Also fixed the front. L0002294.io Before -> After

Who said it's against EU regulation or only possible to charge using their hardware? You can just plug every motor in your own usb charger and deal with the cable mess or buy the multi-charger with or without transformer for convenience only. Usually wireless devices are charged when not in use because the batteries will not overheat.

You mean this? Not LEGO's fault you didn't buy their cheap 150 bucks spider chargers 45623 / 45624 :)

I finished it before the review went online, but now I have final confirmation of where to put the hidden bee tile, so here is the file (including the new 6L shock and 14T gear mock-ups): 42238.io

At least the rims make a comeback in the next magazine issue.

Because the part list only has 2x 16T gears and you can see a smaller diameter white gear in this image:

Btw, this set not only uses a new short Koenigegg shock absorber but also the 14T gear on the chain transmission. I'm almost finished with the build.

Here's the 96% inventory of this set: https://brickset.com/parts/in-42238-1

So you're saying people who criticise a 450€, flagship Technic sets most praised function not working reliably is too harsh and we should just deal with it because it's the fault of "soft plastic" and not a LEGO design issue? Maybe you suggest next to use some grease to reduce the friction too or what? :)) And btw I also tested the Pinball Machine and the ball wouldn't even reach the end because the slope is too steep and the spring force was not enough so the pull lever would get stuck halfway. But God forbid someone criticizes a bad design and it's instantly ridiculed or deemed as LEGO bashing. And of course LEGO should be held at higher standards than a MOC or alt brand since they consider themselves best in class, charge premium prices and do everything in their marketing materials to advertise unrealistic expectations (hiding with heavy post-processing and lighting tricks what looks bad). But go ahead and trust the sponsored influencers more...

It's the usual topic of connectors, liftarms, bricks and panels not having the same color and appearance. It's partly because of different materials they use, but the blacks are not as rich and saturated as they used to be. It's as if they use too much heat and make the parts too fast for them to cool down in the mold. You can see the flow lines on parts that should be just matt black like panels. It's not just an issue with this model, it's a general quality topic with newer LEGO sets.

It's still on the german website. The word "peinlich" is an understatement for this level of incompetency. It even has the Jesko logo sticker on the door.
