Lego's other themes Technic style or Technical sets discussion page

[Auroralampinen]

Well, since im really impressed with city construction theme, i think its needs and deserves its own technic forum page. So this topic will house every new city construction equiment and also a discussion page, starting with the Lego 60446 Yellow Bulldozer:). 

The Lego 60446 Yellow Bulldozer. 

Pieces 682

Price 50€.

Functions straight 3 engine, movable ripper, movable tracks, and front blade. 

Thoughts? 

 

Update, i have update this topic to include all technical/technic stuff on other themes. So everything is allowed as long it is technical, so have fun:).

Great idea :) This is more "technic" than some Technic sets of late...

[Auroralampinen]

Ok, cool, the city 60471 arctic truck has a full suspension, and a central steering apparently:).

It would also be nice to see sets from other series that are more 'technical', as well as the city sets.

Yes, i will probably update this, but yes everything technic/technical related, from other lego themes, is allowed on here so have fun:) 

In the upcoming 747 nasa set, there are fully working landing gears:). 

[Auroralampinen]

In the upcoming ninjago 71844 set. There are those 42124 tires again. Last time when we saw them, was on the raptor:). 

[Amt0571]

Oh wow, a proper Technic set, finally! OH WAIT!

[Auroralampinen]

The ninjago 71845, seems like to be a pretty good green panel parts pack:). 

[Auroralampinen]

Well, now the page for the 60471 is up. And i have to say this is really impressive and serious piece of equiment. This has suspension on all wheels and a steering wow:).

That pullback-chomping looks really interesting and novel! Talk about non-Technic sets having better and more ingenious technical functions than Technic sets...

Also what is happening in that latter photo, the book-thing is there apparently completed but the person in the photo is still assembling the pullback-mechanism? While apparently looking at instructions which have no apparent relation to the assembly in question?

The new Lego 10360 Shuttle carrier aircraft, has a fully working landing gears, wich are actually more complex than you think. The back ones moves in different directions. There is a product video on Lego's website:).

And those LBG wheel-connector part looks new part. 4x wheel pin with 1L axle.

And front landing gear's drive axle supported using this. 

That's very interesting because this part are only used as partial gear or decoration element before. Even it's 1.5L height pin hole, it never used for that. This set is first set use this as that.

I recall it being used for wing flapping in a bionicle set. Cool to see it used again.

It was used in this set. That piece was on the rear wing, and when you pulled down the rear wing, the doors opens:). 

[Paul B Technic]

That is very cool, I might need to keep an eye out for some of these :)

The new Lego ideas pixar lamp set, seems to have new technic elements:).

Interesting technique with the rubber band going through the ribbed hose for the spring imitation.

Ok, cool, the new pixar lamp, has new technic elements for the lamp cover:). 

It looks cool:). 

[Auroralampinen]

Here is another look of the lamp cover, and it seems like, this has a ton of white beams:).

I see like 2 white beams, is that a ton? 

[msk6003]

Seems like light bulb is new part too.

and those 6x6 round bulge part also new. previous one is 1/4 quarter and 1/2 half circle. Both red star and blue line looks like print, and considering technic rim racing medium(part no. 15038) can use 6L round part as wheel cover, Both print will be great wheel cover.
