    Veni, vidi, I slagged off TLG's quality control.
  2. Maaboo the Witch
    Tch. Preach.

    2: the LAs in my copy of 42081 had the same rough finish as yours, and one feels a little janky. The dark red input is understandable, as that is the axlehole colour for CONTROL+. 1: The damage to the motor is unbelievable though, especially in a premium product such as this. The fact that this has also happened with 42099 is indicative of a serious quality issue with the CONTROL+ components.

    Woo!

    Talk about a pain in the backside. I had to order extra panels for 42053.

    They are transparent, which means they'll last longer.

    Who else wants a Matt LeBlanc Technic fig?

    The actuator shafts in my copy of 42081 look a bit scruffy as well. Scratches and grey/white marks on yours, by any chance? And that motor - total shite.

    Audio's a bit loud and tinny on Markus's end so it's a bit difficult to understand him. Written summary would be cool.
  10. Maaboo the Witch
    Amen to that.

    Looks to me like a cross between a Caterpillar D9 and a Chetra T6.
  12. Maaboo the Witch
    Cool stuff!
  13. Maaboo the Witch
    That's what the bucket's for.
  14. Maaboo the Witch
    Tch... that's probably the case.

    Woo! Backhoe! Been going on seven years since the last. Can the B-model please be a combine harvester like 8862?

    Now this looks like a Jeep suitable for Jurassic Park - something that could run over the T-rex.
  17. Maaboo the Witch
    Heh! Just rebuilt my 42065. 42095 looks quite small next to it.
  18. Maaboo the Witch
    That was because it used an inadequate solution. Double up the rams on the boom and you're golden.

    Yep, just re-read your comment and it's clear what you meant. Going back to the 2020 lineup, does anyone think that the Mobile Crane might be pneumatic? TLG has had success with that concept before.

    Cars the only subtheme? Hmm. I think the Tech Play and Tech Build distinction still exists in all but name. Sets like 42095 and the pullbacks are clearly Tech Play, while 42094 and 42098 are Tech Build. Not to mention the forestry theme, which started with 42054 and has continued with 42080 and 42094. There's all kinds of subthemes kicking.
  21. Maaboo the Witch
    All you just said. Couldn't agree more.
  22. Maaboo the Witch
    Still does little for me, I'm afraid. The motions are fluid and most of the details are spectacular, but to me it's still a big bland white brick on tracks. And no B-model whatsoever, in a set with 4108 parts. Great review though. In-depth doesn't even begin to cover it.
  23. Maaboo the Witch
    Probably to counteract an ungodly amount of friction...
  24. Maaboo the Witch
    Woah, how did I miss this?! Great job @M_longer! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
  25. Maaboo the Witch
    This is too cool! I personally would have used CLAAS tyres though. Do the Fischertechnik tyres offer any particular advantage?
