Correct, but it also includes helicopter.

You are right. Ninjago V2.0

Actually its "galaxy squad" (or qest, not sure) but dont expect much of it. Its space based action theme (like world racers, Agents etc...) with childish figs and colorful vehicles fighting against some insectoid aliens (not 100% sure about this last). Too bad. I would very muh like to se "serious" arctic/space theme, with quality sets like lets say space police.

What are rules in those?

Then it would make no difference even if price in France would stay 139,99 And we already discussed (probably hundreds of times) that it makes no sense in ranting about differences in prices beteween countries.

At least one set was re-released 2 times: Lego Technic Front loader with numbers 8459, 8439 and 8464 (with minor differences) Similar with X-wing 7140 and 7142, x-wing and y-wing collection 7150 and 7152, same with y-wings etc

So, another lesson is learned: when you see lower than expected price, first order and than ask questions.

It was a screw-up, and it looks like they didnt even noticed it until stupid questions start arriving. Next time be quiet and order as many as possible. Once you complete the order they HAVE to sell it to you at that price. I had similar experience with our cellurar oparator and Iphone 4, which was listed at strangely low price. At the end (and after some arguing) I got it at that price, together with bunch of other people, but just few hours after that it went first to unavailable and then to normal (higher). I mention arguing because I didnt even had it ordered at the time they noticed mistake, but I demanded that they sell it at the price currently posted at their site. So, they first had to change the listing on the webpage and then lift the price. 139,99 would've been fair price, so there is no stealing involved (my iphone was also not ridicilusy cheaper, just around 30%, in range of good sale. Other thing is when they list price 100 times smaller 1,39 instead of 139,99. Then they have good reason to not sell it at that price)

I agree. I was totaly sold for original price of 149,99, but now I'm not gona buy it unless they drop the price.

Buying complete set is of course cheaper, but if you need several pieces or you have enough other then it makes no sense. Anyone knows what is with new "V2" receiver on Bricklink. It was there, but now is gone and 9398 shows status as pending for approval for several weeks now. I know it wast there because I was preparing larger order and included it, but next day it was gone.

Get Unimog. Its much better set with a lot of functions, pneumatic, large tires etc...

That was easy: 8868: one of best sets ever, way ahead of its time 8880: giant leap in supercar design, function wise unsurpassed till today 8480: very complex build, clever use of gearbox, fiber optics, micro motor 8448: design wise this is for me still most beautifuly done supercar, even if it has fewer function as 8880 Of the rest I would choose both control centers and 8459, but not in the same league as above mentioned.

What you need is 8043. Its really nice and fine to build set and it should fit perfectly with 8275 and 8069. Besides that, It will disappear first from stores (probably this year).

Those are very likely and mindstorms too.

This goes well with previous rumor about "Hutte", which means pretty much the same as "Cottage" Nice!

This helicopter look very nice and I look forward to assmebling it. With its large fuselage and four functions driven from one motor it reminds me of great 8480 Space shuttle. Only thing I dont like are colors. I think that blue/white combinatioj would like much better and would be also great for broadening our "rare" color technic part collection.

Cool. I heard something about SWAT/special unit city theme next year and this very much confirms it. Rumored museum would also fit very nicely into it.

Nice. Kind of what i hoped nxt would be. On the other side, i wonder if upcoming next years new nxt system (red brick) will have pf compatible motors and still keep bluetooth compatibility.

Very nice, clean design. Nice idea also. Lego never made (at least as far as I know) museum, because its difficult to create so grand looking building as museum. I wonder how next years city version will look, because it will be even more limited in number of used bricks than modular buildings.

It will not be D2C. R2D2 and Haunted House were (un)planned teasers.

No. Steering unit is just mechanical unit which transforms rotary movement to steering. Everything else is done in Base unit, including return to center. I have several types of RC units (from RC race Buggy, Dirt Crusher etc...) and they use the same protocol, but work a little differently. 1. RC unit from race buggy and supersonic: -uses AA bateries -integrated receiver with 3 channels -electrical output for main motor(s) with variable speed according to angle of lever on remote. -steering motor with variable angle - output via axle hole to SEPARATE non powered steering unit. Return to center capability including fine adjustment on steering unit (angle) -connector for old type (pre PF) motor with full speed forward or backward rotation controllable via "gear change" levers on remote. 2. same as 1, just without output for 3rd motor (from "hot flame" set) 3. RC unit from RC racers (Dirt Crusher etc...) -uses RC Race pack battery with Tamiya connector -integrated receiver with 3 channels -electrical output for EXTERNAL driving motor with variable speed according to agle of lever on remote AND 3 main speed settings with "gear change" levers on remote. -electrical output for external steering motor. Return to center capability in external steering motor. As we can see, main differencies are: race buggy has integrated steering motor with return to center and just mechanical output via axle hole, while RC racer unit has external motor with own return to center capability. Other difference is that additional levers on remote control third motor on rc buggy unit, while on rc racers unit they control "gear changes". Yes, but I dont know how you mean it: -if you mean to control mechanical rc steering unit with pf motor: it will work, but you would need to gear it down, because it only does half turn for complete side to side steering (new servo would be great for that). -if you mean to connect M motor to steering motor output: its not possbile, because steering output is mechanical. You could connect it to auxillary output but then steering would not work steering commands but "gear change levers"

Why did you open topic with misleading description "Review of..." and then just renders from lego's webpage. I was very happy when I saw "review", but dissapointed when I saw that its just same stuff agin and again.

Romur goes for big black pirate ship next year, probably of PoTC line (5th movie is coming)
