  1. Bloody hell, that type size has given me whiplash.
  2. Another mid-size Volvo vehicle would be great this year. Let's make the Volvo FMX the new Car Transporter!
  3. Hard to believe that this is the 20- and 10-year anniversary of 2006 and 2016, two of the most seminal years for Technic. Obviously I'll reserve judgement until the rest of the set numbers are known, but I think it's safe to say that this theme has fallen a long, long way.
  4. Here's the seaplane, for UK members who can't use Imgur.
  5. Yeah, that mystery box thing is beyond scummy. I could go on, but I'll let this article sum it all up.
  6. Can't wait for the 18+ blind box sets. Throw down £350 and open the box to find out what you get!
  7. I'm hoping it's the six-wheel version, personally. It's more eye-catching.
  8. Though I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, I wonder whether the 1470H is gonna be the six-wheeled version, or the eight-wheeler.
  9. I was talking to my hairdresser about Lego the other day and Technic was mentioned - she called it "the theme with all the cars". Sad that that's what it's become, really.
  10. "as certain parts, like the warning light on the roof, may move too easily." "The warning light is very close to the gear on the roof, which is used to turn the steering, this often gets in the way." The light is designed to be moveable, so you can access the steering gear.
  11. Now that you mention it, I see a lot of parallels between this set and 42094, especially the gear setup on the back.
  12. I do, I do! The multicoloured gears don't bother me that much, probably because Volvo and green go so well together! I am a bit baffled as to why TLG didn't use a black gear on top for the steering, though. Maybe it's an inventory/distribution thing.
  13. He's legendary, but I'd actually pick Michael Jeppesen. He can keep his views on my country's political situation to himself, but he's been behind some sets than run the gamut from cool to absolutely amazing - 42006, 42021, 42042, 42054, 42081, 42114... I could go on! Plus I'll always have the memories of 8226 from when I borrowed it off a mate.
  14. @Jim? Seriously, CADA is one thing, but advertising this knockoff crap is something else entirely.
  15. In the time it would take to complete the job with a shovel, you could charge the loader and do it properly!
  16. It's that flattened cab as well. Makes it look like a Dickie toy. Plus, the front mudguards are yellow, when they should plainly be black. That has just slapped me in the face like a wet fish. EDIT: Some versions of the L120 Electric do have yellow mudguards, so I'll retract that.
