Same with the Ducati... Still gives a 404. That wasn't a QR to a videocast though, but to a small video explaining how to join some parts. The Landrover has it as well, but that one did work.

They are the same size, it's the same Design ID. They look a bit different because I didn't line them up 100% straight for the photo, and they aren't rotated in the same orientation. I didn't want to remove them from the other half of the hubs, as they're very hard to get out and I don't want to damage anything :)

Hm, didn't notice that... You're right :) It looks like the Sian has it in DBG as well, so the LBG one is unique to this set :) Weird that they'd create a new colour for the disc for this set only, instead of just making the front discs DBG as well... LBG is a more realistic colour for brakediscs ofcourse, but apparently they made the decision to make the Bugatti / Sian discs in DBG anyway. I have a halfway assembled Bugatti here, so I made a quick comparison pic:

I think it's intentional to stabilize the bike. I rotated the 2L liftarm to get it away from the tyre, but that way the bike falls over. It works better if you put a 2L axlepin in the first hole instead of the 3L axle-pin in the 3rd hole. More realistic as well, a real paddockstand pivots at the end of the arm, not somewhere halfway. With the original setup you wouldn't even be able to lever the paddockstand under the bike :) (Ignoring the whole idea that this is a singlesided swingarm, but with Lego parts I don't see a way to have a paddockstand with a pin that goes inside the rear axle, like a real one :) )

Ah, I used the "report broken parts" function first, got automatically denied there. Probably because I reported all 8 parts. I've sent them an email now, as I'm not in a hurry and I assumed the phone service is closed on a weekend-evening :)

The rain was gone this morning, so I made some photo's with my real Ducati :) It's a 749 instead of a Panigale, but close enough imo :) @vliet I noticed the same thing with the axle/pin-connectors. I thought it was just general crap qualitycontrol on colours these days, but you actually got new ones? Maybe I should report mine as well then...

I tried it with one link removed. It's possible to close the chain, but it's too tight. The rear axle get a little bit flexed, and is under tension. The new shocks look nice, but are bit too flimsy for my taste, and they are angled way too far to the front. It's a superbike, not a chopper... :P The brake discs are awesome though, they look a lot like the discs on my real bikes. Looks good next to the BMW by the way :)

Brothers brick released one of the design video's (a bit like the podcasts for the Chiron, but with video):

All the pictures are out there now obviously, but does anyone have an idea when the actual annoucement will be? I assume it won't be a big show as with the Chiron two years ago, but I'm sure they'll do something more than just make the information available on Lego.com...

Sariel & the set designer just confirmed in the live build that the taillights are solid red because the flex hose can't be created in trans red.

The flex transblue part on the falcon is about 4 times as thick & ribbed, that makes it a lot thougher. @Meatman I think it's a bit of a strech (and way too expensive) for TLG to introduce a brand new material for a single part in a single set.

Are flextubes in transparent colours possible? I thought the plastic used for the transparent parts is too brittle to be used for flexible parts. That might explain why solid red is used on the entire section, als half solid / half trans would look worse than full solid.

As far as I know the instructions are in English & German everywhere, just like the Porsche.

Yup, the Porsche has a unique number as well. I'm hoping The Chiron will get the same huge markdowns :)
