I'm building this. -
Woo! Teal pin!
-
Funnily enough all the Transit vans I encounter are nice and shiny. There are a few I see regularly in all shades of colours, including the metallic green that TLG used back in '01.
-
It's definitely one of those sets wherein the fun lies with the building process rather than the end result. The B-model looks like a great build as well, and at least that can carry out all its functions (no saw).
-
Tell you what, if I'd been wearing a hat it would've flown off upon seeing those tyres. Woah.
-
While I haven't built this set, I have noticed a disturbing trend in Technic sets recently. In 42070 I got an azure jumper plate instead of a black connector block, in 42080 it was a window pane instead of a 3L blue pin, and didn't @LucyCol run out of those while building the Mack? Not to mention @Jim's run-in with the melted flex axle in 42068...

This would look great next to the EW160e! Nice job. -
Another quality review! I'm looking forward to the Tracked Loader, though that may be some time in coming...
-
Judging by the general shape, placement of the trailer and function of the model I'd say this is a good representation of a forage harvester. Nice work. I'd like to build this myself!
-
Anyone in the mood for a trip to Cape Suzette?
-
Half expected this to be lime green, but I guess a Merlo also looks superb in orange! Wonderful work, wish I had one!
-
According to Techlug, Lars Krogh Jensen designed this thing.
-
42054 has studs on the seat that can fit a minifig. Said minifig would look a bit small, but still...
-
Especially when the end result does next to nothing. *cough*Porsche and Bugatti*cough*
-
Well said. Sure, the winch isn't overly spectacular in practice, but it's reflective of a real mechanism and looks like great fun. That is the essence of Technic. TLG needs to bring back Racers for the big, largely nonfunctioning cars and pullbacks.
-
This is brilliant! You've really worked in all the small details. Great work!
-
Unbelievable!
-
It's used in the combo model, or at least it was before it was replaced.
-
It only appeared in 42023 and the pullbacks 42026 and 42027 in 2014. In later versions it was replaced with a normal black worm gear. Apparently the bushings stressed too easily, which is apparent on the one I own from 42023.
-
Funnily enough, that yellow paddle only ever came in a Racers set.
-
One of the rarest! Only in one set in 1999.
-
Unless you want to print those instructions. Then... it costs you a lot of paper.
-
It definitely looks more professional.
-
I think it's good that TLG does this part distribution among sets now. Used to be that even small sets back in the late 90's/early 00's had parts that were unique for no good reason. Case in point, case in point, case in point. And those are just the small sets. I know that it still happens, like the blue sprockets in 42071, but it's nowhere near the level at which it used to be.
-
I've noticed "Roue-Roue Racing" on one of the stickers. That's Aurelien Rouffiange who designed this set, then. Is every designer going to get their shot at one of these?
