Sounds like something for me :) -
42146 - Liebherr LR13000
M_longer replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Dont' worry, it might be last :) LEGO sells last Powered Up parts on sale lately, C+ motors were discontinued too. -
42202 Ducati Panigale V4S
M_longer replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
How is it possible that LEGO sends those sets to creators who barely have followers? O_o -
42203 Tipping Dump Truck
M_longer replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Because it's scale of 8292, 8052 and 42008. -

I have made a quick sum-up of January sets for last 5 years. It's the same scheme - One polybag, at least two pullbacks (with last year's exception), at least three licensed sets. 2021 looks much better, with more versatile sets like 42122/42123 and remote control one. Why C+, which was told by LEGO to be the exceptional, is basicaly non existing lately? -

Covid era. Really. Some sets were a high grossing ones, due to their price and people looking for something to build while on lockdown. -

To be honest, I miss the times when you had sets ready for motorization with 8293 - simple M motor, gearbox for functions and it was more enjoyable than 3k licensed dust collectors. Thanks to swapping to C+ prices of motors added to sets skyrocketed - I don't believe that we could get something like 8052 for example - mid scale truck with motorized function straight from a box (with price adjusted for inflation - around 70€) -
42203 Tipping Dump Truck
M_longer replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Can be used in other sets, here added just for fans. Also, it looks like there is t20 gear in that actuator drivetrain: -

Hopefully! Also, for all of you thinking about Dark Blue being new Yellow for constructions vehicles; It's Dark Blue, because recolours were made for F1. -
42203 Tipping Dump Truck
M_longer replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sooo basically we have 8052, which was ripped off everything that made it cool. Power Functions, linear actuator and hooklift mechanism. For the same price! Well to be fair, not the same. Inflation adjusted value of 8052 would be around 70€: But I'm still disapointed that they use same simple lifting mechanism in 10€ (42147) set and 50€ set. -
What promotional? It was EXACTLY about on topic, without links. That screenshot was a proof that covid-era model was selling A LOT better than best selling models now, and only thing that keeps it selling lately is a 30% discount (it barely solds trough past months) Just do not hide this again. It's not bragging about the numbers, there are few other MOCs that were selling at Rebrickable much higher. A Holy Grail of alts as I said in that hidden post. It's about covid and post covid sales of instructions, which is a deeper topic than it looks, especially when you are for years in that bussines and ran out of ideas how to promote these further. Overal sales drop is signifficant, I am almost sure that none of the already made or future models will be close. World changed, people have a lot of things to do than sitting in their houses.
