Maaboo the Witch

Looks like there's still a bit of misalignment, but it's not as bad as some cases I've seen. The yellow versions in my set are particularly wobbly.

Ah yes, the Massey Ferguson concept! 42124's tyres are built for that thing.

I remember seeing the Guy Martin special about the building of this tractor. Cool job recreating it!

That's actually based on a Liebherr hauler.

Has anyone else noticed the penguins in the background on the "exploration vehicle" side of the box?

According to the stickers, it's a Splunk.

So it interests you as much as a kilogram of shit does, then. Cool.

I love how there's a metric ton of new cosmetic parts in this thing and yet the bodywork uses the ugliest techniques possible in some areas. It boggles the mind.

It's been two decades!

I really should read those things more. That's quite clever!

Wonder if the cockpit display in the app changes when the vehicle flips?

Don't think so. I'm not on the phone right now so I can't read his updates.

Sariel is reviewing 42140 later this month.

The 2L frictionless pins do have yellow variants, so you're probably not far off.

We already have a good number of those. They're becoming quite common.

It's the 360-deg view from the product page.

Yeah, that would lead to total disaster! Weird that we're getting orange gears now - the last one was in 8516 in 2000.

"he intoned, capering about a bonfire of burning smart hubs". Glory to the hallowed infrared remote.

Alright, I'm convinced.

Are we sure they're orange? They look red to me.

Very efficient and very attractive. Superb work.

Orange, yellow, teal, magenta, blue, oh my!

I don't know about that. The Xerion is an amazing set, and that was the first from the CLAAS brand. The D11T is big and complex, and there hasn't been a CAT set before. Why couldn't the John Deere set - especially a tractor this big - be the same size as the Xerion, with the same level of complexity? This set is very weirdly scaled - if TLG wanted this level of functionality, why not just make it like the Mini Xerion? That tractor has functions relative to its size, unlike this one. This one is stuck in a kind of inbetweeny limbo in terms of scale, and the least TLG could have done is put in an engine!
