This is gonna be tough. I already have plans for other MOCs to do, and February is New Lunar Year time, which means there will be delayed shipping.

So I can do a Technic version of the Typewriter, is that correct?

If I use some model from other Themes like Icon or Creator Expert and turn it into a Technic model does that violate any rule? I did that to the 10327 set here.

What do you want me to do with 42145? It's not a C+ set.

This should have been finished a long time ago, but I lost interest along the way. At least I finished it now, better late than never. Rebrickable link: https://reb.li/m/204737

I think there are a lot to explore with the Technic Animal theme alone already.

I don't think Animal vs Handheld devices vs Househould Appliances would be a fair comparison.

Let's see how this new 42131 mod turns out.

Just to clarify, are CCBS parts allowed in the animal/creature contest?

I'm for the Pokemon contest

If there's a Technic Animal contest, is Pokemon allowed?

I thought Jim wants something festive.

Who wants a RacingBrick review? I do! I do!

A quick Bricklink search shows that the light brick has been around since 2008 and has appeared in 50 sets. It appeared in 6 sets in 2023 and 4 sets in 2024, so it shouldnt be too rare.

How about build something that incorporates the light brick? Very flashing, very festive.

Given the new botanical sets, how about a Technic Plant Contest

A velociraptor monster jam using the new reddish orange would be nice.

This is 18+

Interesting, Uwe Wabra designed this set. I've always thought that Technic motorbikes would almost always go into the 2-3 bike specialists.

All manual

I managed to make one with all functions with 1100 parts only.

If you're referring to the $179.99 set, then if it's C+ it will be either Porsche GT4-e or the Audi, neither of which can't really be called a flagship. If it's not C+, then it's most likely be a non-motorized, non-licensed, 2000 piece set.

I think TLG has dropped the concept of a yearly flagship. Or they are just spacing them out. There are not that many big machines to exploit every single year. Or they could be trying to recoup the costs of developing the 42146.

42208 Aston Martin Valkyrie $59.99 TBC Summer 2025 42209 Volvo L120 Electric Loader $109.99 TBC Summer 2025 42210 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) $139.99 TBC Summer 2025 42211 TBC $99.99 TBC Summer 2025 42212 TBC $59.99 TBC Summer 2025 42213 TBC $59.99 TBC Summer 2025 42214 TBC $179.99 TBC Summer 2025 According those price points there is likely to be no C+ set. The cheapese C+ set in the last two years had retails prices of 169.99$.
