No. -
Good speed though.
-
It is concerning that TLG have phased out alternate models for the larger sets.
-
The use of the 18+ branding on the D11T pic is interesting. More likely than not it's just a placeholder background while TLG work on an actual landscape (I'm thinking a massive opencast mine), but it would be weird if this was marketed as an actual 18+ set since it does not look like one.
-
I highly doubt it.
-
I would be certain at this point that the price and part count have been wildly overstated.
-
I've taken a good look at the rams for lifting the blade, and one of the headlamps on top of one ram is knocked out of alignment and missing its trans-clear studs. Guess someone took this puppy on a joyride before photographing it.
-
Probably better than the actual set.
-
The part count could still be accurate. 8275 was heavy on studded elements, while 42131 looks almost entirely studless. That would require a buttload of pins.
-
I can definitely see a ripper at the back.
-
Cheer up, old shoe. We've seen the roof!
-
I wonder if there'll be a mode like in 42114 with which you can set the tonnage, but this time being pushed by the blade.
-
That exposed motor looks a bit ugly. Maybe there'll be a sticker over it like in 42114.
-
I've also noticed that there's a fair bit of excess on the string knots at the hooks. It's like I built it!
-
Looks like most of the functionality will be in the CONTROL+ app.
-
Hey, I think this rig looks quite snazzy.
-
I think I can see a turntable under the crane.
-
It looks a bit like the Lizard Hulk truck from Farming Simulator.
-
I'd wager it's the same setup as 8275. Two big motors for drive and two medium motors for blade and ripper. Plus the usual mix of achievements and game modes.
-
What you want has nothing to do with what TLG is actually releasing. Go to the set wishes and speculation topic.
-
No. Obviously not.
-
Very nice job, especially on the grills.
-
That could also help.
-
I don't know about that, not that I've observed. But keep pumping air and the cylinders should start moving better.
