Chiron 42083 was no different. I think it is a very clever trick from a design perspective. If you are looking for an exact/accurate replica of the real gearbox of the real car, then Lego is not the right place to look for. And it has never been for any vehicle. Not to mention that Sian gearbox works so nicely. With all gears you can see, you can hear. You can even feel how the transmission reacts when you push the car by hand. Considering it as a Lego model, it is a trully a piece of art regarding engineering. Not to mention all the other features of the car. They are very well designed too. The last time I got so impressed with a Technic Supercar was with Nathanel Kuipers' Predator.

42113 Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey

Or maybe TLG finally figured out that most motorisable sets with 8293 were silly when not motorized ? Pointless gearboxes in many sets : 42039, 9395, 8053, 42029, 42068, 42000. -
75252 structure is both very strong and light.

If I were you, i'd take inspiration on 75252 structure. It is really well thought out.

Apparently, Lego gave up on that possibility for several years. -
Definitely. And doing videos of unboxing saying "OMG this box is so beautiful" certainly doesn't improve the situation... I never care about the packaging of a set when I write a full review. No matter how great/poor the packaging of a product can be, it will never influence me in any way on how I rate the actual Lego model.

You forgot that, for most users, numbered bags works once only : when the set is new. Very few users unbuild their sets by taking the instructions backwards to get parts sorted like day 1. Not to mention that doing so is even more complicated in Technic than in any other theme. For example, sometimes you just can't pull out an axle the way you inserted it into several other elements of the build.

Debating on who designed what set according to the color of the set, wow, it's been a while I didn't read such BS. Thanks for that. It was refreshing.

Technic 2020 Set Discussion
Anio replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It may be a mutual agreement. An alternate model has always more compromises than the main model. On one hand, the brand is reluctant to have one of its designs too much compromised (even though sometimes they are totally ok with some silly issues ; who said Bugatti suspensions ?) And on the other hand, TLG is glad not to have to spend more ressource to release final product. Bingo ! No B model and everyone but the customer is happy. :D -
