  1. Where all the other official certifications are listed. Here: https://www.lego.com/en-de/legal/notices-and-policies/compliance
  2. Was just about to post that too. The battery pack comes with 2 Technic pins w/ bushes lol. @kbalage Now we know why they changed the Porsche GT4 too. Here's an image of the box: https://assets.legal.services.lego.com/ecerts/6568563_122857_ukdoc_en_10422077.pdf
  3. In case you don't receive newsletters, here is an interesting promo: Just add both items to your cart (car and tires).
  4. That wannabe "new" influencer has no idea what he is talking about. I stopped watching any of his reviews after the second video. Maybe reading from a script like all the pros are doing and some actual technical knowledge would help. Luckily we have good old RB. ;) I think this set is pretty cool, function rich and I wouldn't mind having a Space themed set every year. But my guess is the designers are already running out of ideas and TLG would rather make more licensed cashcows in black boxes of death.
  5. That is indeed very noble of you. Keep up the creative work. Bricklink Studio used to enable uploading MOC's there and people could download the full Studio file, regardless of it being based on IP licenses or anything. Now those are blocked because of LEGO and set to "for display only" so people don't bother to upload cool stuff there anymore including me. I am sure TLG is already planning on how to acquire Rebrickable too which would be a catastrophe.
  6. That is just speculation, as there is no mention of construction toys or Mattel Brick Shop in particular on that 7 month old press-release. There is only the mention about playsets, which are action figures and the like. Now speaking of throwback time and nostalgia for good old times... remember the Technic lineup from 2012-2013? There was just ONE licensed set and it was not a car, but basically the GOAT Technic set. I can't believe how low they have fallen in the last decade. Even the marketing material for malls like Galeria in Germany were outstanding! That Unimog got me out of the dark ages.
  7. Nice find! Interesting color for the Lotus, if it's 1:8, I will buy it for sure. Can't wait for the Hayabusa! I absolutely loved the Katana (see my review in earlier post) and as a motorcyclist a must have.
  8. If you'd have checked the part names and which sets they were used in, you'd quickly realize that these socket elements all use different ball diameters, hence not compatible to each other. 39370 only fits the 19mm (=2.4 studs) ball 52629 44358 only fits 3x3 hemisphere elements 44359 92911 only fits the 18mm (=2.2 studs) steel ball 99948 and the 92910 Ball Joint Pivot Frame
  9. Perfect candidate for your next CaDA Master set perhaps? I'd certainly buy it, even though I detest the F&F franchise, but I love the Evo IX. Don't know how you manage to bring this much level of detail to Technic, but this looks more like an RC car than a construction toy.
  10. In case anyone else wants to use the new 3x3 Triangle Technic Panel in their digital builds, before it's officially added to Studio, here's the file: https://limewire.com/d/ourm5#PQysgLfDtu
  11. Thanks a lot! Wow! That makes it the hardest spring out there. The adjustability is awesome, and I imagine you can switch the coil spings out pretty easily if you need it to be softer. I just measured LEGO's hardest spring, the 11.5L which is around 2300g on lowest setting and ~3200-3300g on highest just before end-stop.
  12. The servos only move the upper excentric connection point. The wheel on the shock absorber is to increase spring rate and decrease travel.
  13. Can you please measure the force in lowest and highest setting with a kitchen scale and post it here? Remember 8279, that set also used this kind of suspension adjustment but it did it with one M-motor and all 4 sides simultaneously. I was waiting in vain for LEGO to release a Technic set with this function again. Luckily we have CaDA now who does the better sets. LEGO could have also made their new shock absorbers like this, but instead put a fake plastic spring coil with no spring rate adjustment whatsoever, because their supercars are just meant to sit on a shelf for display.
  14. Those images are from the official patent registration: https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/designs/015110889-0004
  15. Spotted black 12T bevel gears and grey 14x4mm tires (2 of each) in the new Game Boy. And what I strongly hope are white 3L pins w/ friction.
  16. Large motorized models tend to be pretty heavy, so a harder spring that doesn't sag when left on the shelf is a good thing. LEGO's failed designs with the Chiro and Sian show how not to choose spring rates.
  17. 310$ for the motorized version. https://decadastore.com/products/cada-1-8-yangwang-u9-supercar-c64011w
  18. Pretty great deal for only 1500 Yuan (180 EUR). I'm guessing this price is for the static version only. I think the coolest function is the realistic looking adjustable suspension travel. Printed display plaque is also included, as usual. P.S. Gotta get this nice little set too. Thanks for the preview @eric trax.
  19. True. https://mikeshouts.com/cada-18-scale-yangwang-u9-building-set/amp/
  20. Images are leaked. Sound Brick is indeed included and the set looks awesome with the transforming mini-tapes.
  21. Just a couple of new Technic parts added since July to PaB.
  22. Sorry for my illegal building technique. I'll take myself to jail now.
  23. It's definitely reddish orange because the double pin hole connector 32291 is not available in orange. Here's my reverse engineering for the upcoming magazine gift. I assumed the left side holds a different tool. It's a cute little rover and I like that the color scheme for the new space subtheme has been kept at this scale too.
  24. Those parts are orange or reddish orange (seen on YouTube), so even rarer.
