It actually appears in two sets: 8295 (B model) and 8264 (A and B models). Funnily enough, both sets were designed by Alfred Pedersen. -
Is that when your MOC has speakers that play "Pimpin' All Over The World" at full volume?
-
Wonder if he designed anything from the H2 wave?
-
There should be. Especially now with the new pump and valve elements, each of which have only appeared in one set.
-
From the Recently Browsing tab I see @grohl has been hanging about these parts. What does he know that we don't...?

I like it when fairly sizeable sets (about 1000 parts) come without motors. You don't need to buy batteries to start playing with them! Not that I don't like PF capable models, mind you. I do think that subject matter is a major factor, as well - it's about what you like. Say you have 8264, which is a medium model with a motor, yet it only really does one thing that the much smaller 8451 does as well. It all depends on whether or not you want a big dumper! Furthermore, if you like bucket wheel excavators, you'll want 42055, and if you want telehandlers, you'll want 8295, 42061 and so on. I'm very much driven by what a model depicts, rather than how complex it is or is not.

I only have 8439, but I thought I'd list the others for the sake of being thorough.
-
I actually found 8459/64/39 harder, mainly because there's less space to work with.
-
Time will tell.
-
That's one heck of a rig! Good job.
-
I actually think disguising the battery box as a loose bit of equipment (maybe a tool box or the like) works really well. Very innovative.

Last year it was near enough May before we learned much of anything. I do remember the days when we were getting hi-res pictures at the end of January, though...

Don't look at me, man. I'm just waiting for news on the spider crane.

If both U-joints aren't following the same alignment, the axle will rotate in a slight circle rather than simply rotating on the spot. I've seen it happen on my 42029; luckily, I was able to correct them without taking anything apart. -
Gorgeous pics, and what an absolute stunner this machine is! Too big for me, but that doesn't stop it being incredible. Can't wait to see some reviews.

Don't encourage TLG...

The sprockets in 42100 look to be DBG.
-
They looks like elongated versions of the current model to me. But I suppose we'll see more soon.
-
Mm. Like the rock face that was shown in the 42055 demonstration video.
-
I'd wait for an update from the Liebherr topic before then. I'll gladly change it if necessary.
-
I think an aircraft towing vehicle would be a good choice for a 42082 alternate:
-
Didn't we say the same thing about 42082?
-
Talk about a meaty beast! Cool stuff.
-
Brickset's listed them in Technic. See for yourself.
-
Sure. Here you go.
