Now THIS looks great in schematic form! -
Woah, love the schematic drawings that are coming out at the moment. Is it just me, or does this feel like more of an anniversary year than 2017?
-
The Lime Unimog has landed!
-
They're cool. Very rare before 2018. I rather like this set. It's a bit too big, but aesthetically and mechanically it's quite something. I even think the B-model is good. Hopefully we'll see a small version of the pile-driver in the not-too-distant future.

No formal registration required. You just have to believe. For the record, you can be a member and still apply stickers - I do, by the way - you just have to not like doing it.
-
I would like to officially throw my support behind @I_Igor's campaign for smaller CLAAS tyres. I'd like to see a size fitting the pullback rims. Anyway, the inaccuracies on the ZEUX don't bother me. It still looks great.
-
I'M BLIND! Nope, sorry, just had my eyes closed. Anyway, this set is theoretically interesting. There's some new colours like @Erik Leppen pointed out, and hopefully the functions do their job.

LEGO John Deere 9560R

Very cool! Looks realistic. -
Well, it is Pride Month! Nice way to celebrate.
-
That's just what I was thinking. This could be the start of a whole "future concept" series in Technic. That would be great.

Grum's Shed

Had a Drome Racers Slammer G-Force that went walkabout one day. I swear I brought it home from school... But a box of parts? Nope... that is odd. -
It is way better than TRU. The product presentation is great (some of the larger set boxes are on show in display cabinets) and the staff get you excited when you buy a set. I'd say the staff are on a par with those in the TLG stores as well! Making the buying experience a good one also lifts your opinion of the brand.
-
Yeah, brown just doesn't seem right.
-
Green axles, then? Don't think we've had those since the barcode truck. EDIT: Yep, a couple of green 4's appeared in 2002's Republic Gunship and a Bionicle barrel o' bits in 2004. Random to say the least...
-
I wouldn't mind if all axles were black again. I mean, the classic manuals all tell you which length is which.
-
The blue bushes only appear in the X-track and a small Roboriders set (Ice Explorer). You have to ask "Why?".
-
Those green pin joiners look cool.
-
Which often means discounts as stores rush to clear shelves. My local Smyth's already has the Mack for £99.99. Won't get it though, I'm waiting for 42081!
-
Yeah. Anyone remember poor 42061? It was on shelves for barely a year. I used to be able to pick up sets from 1997 in 2000 (like the Mountain Rambler and the Tread Trekker) as well. At least I was able to snag 8069 in 2013, which was a one in a million chance.
-
Sampo Rosenlew or Ponsse would have worked as well. That B-model is one ugly sucker. I'm reminded of 42008's B, especially where the mangled shape due to the battery box is concerned.
-
Looking forward to the reviews too! Can't wait to see how it actually works.
-
You're probably closer to the truth than you think, Paul.
-
This is great! Looks like a Terex-Demag AC 395.
-
Spread it like peanut butter jelly... do it like I owe you some money...
-
The second thing. Although it would be good to see black cylinders.
