42172 - McLaren P1
LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAs far as I know, it was only produced by other manufacturers. Anyway, I don't own those sets or the MOC, so I don't have a comparison planned. I know a guy who has Bruno’s original P1 in LEGO, and will also buy the P1 on day one. And yes, that someone is me I’ll dust off the P1 when the time comes. Maybe disassemble it in smaller modules. I’m sure there is a lot of interest to see them side by side given the immense popularity of Bruno’s model.

This looks great. I’ll definitely get this one at some point.

LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingBased on the previous models in this series I’d expect the first official info to be either next week or the week after.

LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYou’re comparing an extremely low resolution and compressed image to a high resolution render. It looks stretched as well. It’s not exactly a mystery why the Cada version looks better.

LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIf there was you probably wouldn’t see it on (most) promotional photos.

42172 - McLaren P1
LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIt looks very well rounded. This might just become the best of the series. Definitely looking forward to seeing it in person.

LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYou’d be surprised what AI can do nowadays. Anyways, I am pretty sure it’s real. It’s the overal composition that looks weird.

General Part Discussion
LvdH replied to Polo-Freak's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIt (42196) released in April. Only the new parts from the sets released in March have been added. And with new parts, I mean those that were new in that color, were in out of production sets or actual new moulds. The actual orange parts are from the NEOM McLaren sets I believe.

42173 Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Grey Hypercar & 42184 Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut White Hypercar
LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThat is definitely one of the sets of all time. But I guess it’s nice to have some of those newer panels in white in a “cheap” set.

42174 Emirates Team New Zealand AC75
LvdH replied to msk6003's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI believe those cranks in the base automatically pump air to the valves, which appear to be automatically switched.

42172 - McLaren P1
LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAugust from TLG and October for regular retailers, I guess. The previous 4 also had a 2 month exclusivity. Ironically, the Sian and Daytona have the best "playability" imo, since the suspension doesn't sag and the gearboxes work as they should. They still don't hold a candle to what some MOC designers offer though. And yes, those MOCs are largely for a different market, but they (the markets) are not as far apart as they once were.

2024 Technic Sets Discussion
LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingP18 is only a codename anyways. It could very well be named P1. Like the 720s was named P14, Senna P15, and so on.

LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling@R0Sch The 1 is also not quite correct. The top looks to be a 1x2 curved slope which you can also see in the pile.

LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingNo, if you look closely you can see some of the LBG slopes used to create the P1 logo.

LvdH replied to Polo-Freak's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSlight off topic, but honestly, what were they thinking when they decided on a white Countach (guess it's the 5000)? There is no way that they never noticed this one, right? Guess we can now wait for its inevitable B-model:

2024 Technic Sets Discussion
LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWell, 2016 was probably one of the best summer waves of all time; Volvo EW160, Claas Xerion and BWE. Even one of the designers at TLG called the Porsche “something on the side” in some review (I think it was with Sariel) back then. In 2018 they released (according to many) the best technic crane with “big red”. 2020 and 2022 on the other hand don’t stack up that well, the Volvo dumper was very popular but relatively small and due to the delay of the Liebherr 2022 didn’t bring that much special in comparison. Perhaps after 2018 the supercars were just considered “an extra”, as said by one of the designers in that one interview.

42176 Porsche GT4 e-Performance
LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingNo, too big. More like Ford GT scale (same wheels and wheelarches).

[CADA] CADA General Discussion Topic
Was just browsing the Cada online shop and noticed that the pictures of the LaFerrari have been updated with the new rounded panels. I wonder if there is any improvements/changes made structurally. For those curious how it looks now that they seem to be discontinuing the old panels: https://decadastore.com/products/viva-hypercar-c61505w You'll need to scroll down a little bit to see them.

LvdH replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingPerhaps the source meant when it would be available from resellers? Because those previous models were exclusive to TLG until August.
