Maaboo the Witch

8451 used 183 parts, so it's possible.

And once again it's the £8 sets that hold the most appeal, for me anyway. Snow Cat? That could be anything from a snowmobile to a snow groomer; both would work at that scale. Also be interesting to see what type of dump truck we're getting. Haul truck, or hauler? Again, anything's possible at this scale.

That good or bad in your book?

Nice choices with Dragon and Monster Mutt Dalmatian! Gonna be fun to see how they translate into Technic.

So the Monster Jam license is still going. Brilliant. Also, tiny dump truck and snow cat! Cool.

It has been discussed. Wonder why TLG thought this necessary.

Holy crap. Cannot wait to see the finished article... though I have a feeling I will indeed be waiting, for some time.

The large curved panel at the front actually looks like it was built specifically for the cab on this model. Incredible work.

If you're planning on using the motorized pump, then no.

You could not have put it better.

What the shit did I just read...

Recliner! With footstool B-model.

Cool not-Liebherr crawler!

According to the latest Technic mag, 30433 is based on the Volvo L45H.

I'd think a golf cart would make a better B-model. I'd like to see more stuff in that vein, though - kinda like the lawnmower in 8256.

You should see the sheer mound of 56x26 tyres I have hanging about.

Well done Grum! This is a pretty tough build in places - I always struggle with fitting the wheels on this 🐕 and the less said about mounting those frickin' outriggers, the better, so props to you for getting there in the end. Nice to hear you praising the gearbox as well - this set is really quite cool and gets way more flak than it deserves. As for the stiff switches, it's not just you. Great work!

I actually think neon yellow would be great for mining equipment!

Think we both agree that B-models are a good thing.

Smaller sets are where it's at now if you ask me. 42133 is a prime demonstration of what matters in Technic - it packs in as many functions as possible, has some great parts, and has a cool B-model.

I don't think I can even put into words how touched I am. What a beautiful story. Best wishes to everyone.

I have a feeling that it'll be next year's flagship given its alleged size and price point. Otherwise it might cannibalize a second flagship.

Already knew about that one. Box art looks nice though. Hope this doesn't mean TLG is done with the Monster Jam license - it has a note of finality to it.

Yeah. We haven't had one in fifteen years, and even then it was the only A-model harvester in existence! And no, the 42102 B does not count - it looks more like a windrower.

Someone at the door - it's 42136, and it's pissed!
