Yep, they are. He has lots of other unreleased stuff not even for sale... 

Hmm, but how you know it really is lego? Could be some selfproduced stuff?

Large frames do actually exist in red. I have seen someone selling them on Bricklink. I think they were like a test part or something.

Mine just arrived! Official part. 

[TechnicRCRacer]

I also ordered 2 of the red lift arm with axle hole. They are great!

They are great indeed. I would be happy to have black frames...

This one sells a lot of purple stuff, wich does not exist.

He also sells a minifig-legs in trans-clear for 1000€  

 

I still dont know how you can proof such stuff to be real lego... someone could have purchased an old molding form... and produce its own stuff like this.

A really strange point on all this "not existing" stuff is, that all those shops seem to sell parts just in one special color...

Until now I never thought that they will be made in red (at least as pre-production samples...). About ten years ago I remembered that there was a bricklink store with black differentials and now we hqvexred ones 

[TechnicRCRacer]

@I_Igor I have seen those differentials and almost bought one, but they are too expensive. I wonder what ever happened to those black mudguards on the toy fair GT3RS.

I do not want to start any speculation because it is not time and place for it, but future supercars are announced so there is a possibility for them...

I have noticed in shop that sells lot if purple parts to have 1 x 7 thin liftarm in orange - rare color for this part

just enter "special" in the search in his shop....

red rims... 40€ one rim 

lbg axles... in 6/8/10/12 studs :D

Strange things there... but... are those parts really lego?

Expensive indeed 

[1974]

Ohh, looks like I messed up the quote, but the paragraph below is from TechnicSummse .. sorry (hate this new fancy EB layout btw!)

I'm "that one"

Yup, the purple stuff does exist allthough it's not in my hands anymore but belong to many happy buyers who paid a small fortune

It's proper LEGO allright, TLG in Billund says so - good enough for you?

Selling a part for 1000EUR is not crazy, However buying one is

My parts have been discussed in several threads here, I suggest you look them up, Currently this one is active :

Also, matthi/CornholiosBricks mentioned here several times is a 100% legit shop with rare parts. He is the man for current rare Technic parts

If you think his/my parts are expensive don't start collecting HO scale, Mursten or wooden LEGO ..

Cheers,

Ole

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but for 2017 I can find only four new parts introduced in 2017 sets (not counting the plethora of old parts in new colors):

1. 27940 - 1M beam with two cross axle connectors
2. 27938 - worm gear 1M
3. 28216 - bucket 7x10x5
4. new heavier string used in 42069

Normally we see more new parts each year, especially in the flagship sets, as in years past.  This years largest sets did not have any new parts at all other than the 4 listed.  Given that the Technic line has a limited number of new parts allowed each year, does this mean the designers are saving their new parts allocations for use in  2018???  Perhaps something new/big/exciting is coming.  One guess is that the new Mack truck will require new parts in order to capture the curves of the cabin design.  Their are also hints of another supercar coming, which also could require new parts, plus PF2 new parts as well???

[Ivan_M]

Yes you are right, 2017 will indeed look empty on Technicopedia, I wouldn't even consider bucket as new, becuase only the mounting points are different, string is also worthless

If you go all way back to 2007 you can find very interesting parts each year:

• 2007 - PF
• 2008 - large LA, differential
• 2009 - many panels, 5x7 and 5x11 frames
• 2010 - small rack and some minor parts, ok this year was weak
• 2011 - mLA, portal hubs, unimog tires
• 2012 - servo, L motor, helicopter blade
• 2013 - new wheel hubs
• 2014 - volvo bucket, 49,5mm tires, dog bone
• 2015 - pneumatics V2, new drive ring
• 2016 - claas tires, porsche tires
• 2017 - worm gear, connector and string

I don't think there will be PF V2 in ~5 years. I actually think that lego prefers IR because of its poor performance outdoors. Several people from lego mentioned in interviews how customes are pain in the *** regarding support. Imagine kids taking RC models outside only to loose parts, damage elctronics or gears from dirt etc.

Very good point, though more range would be nice.

Could anyone take a picture of a red piece next to a "rust" piece? I am wondering how the difference is...

I actually had this thought earlier today!

+1

Oh, just discovered I had a worm gear in rust... Comparison photo tomorrow!

My guess is the parts budget has simply been used to add two new colors to the Technic line. There's about 20 new recolors just in dark purple and dark azure.

[TechnicRCRacer]

@LvdH

Here you go!

Not much of a difference! Rust at top, Red at bottom. Rust is veeeeery slightly darker, hard to notice.

[TechnicRCRacer]

Just spotted 32L axle in Friends set 41324! On the zipline/ski lift.

sorry for jumping on old post, but did anyone see if there is this part in yellow or red (Porsche rim)

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=23800&idColor=11#T=C&C=11
 

 

[Ivan_M]

Porsche rims are only in black, other colors are from bootleg companies from China.

If i remember correctly the Porsche rims were exclusive to the set.

I thought so, but was wondering if there is a possibility for other colors like here (at the bottom of thee picture it looks like red or dark red rim???)

I saw many in other pictures, they were pre molds I believe.

I believe too, but was thinking perhaps there is a possibility to find them (need two yellow for one my project so I was wandering)...sadly LEGO does not allow us to order from them parts in various colors despite that they are not included in sets 

[Aventador2004]

Also why they don't do licencing often. It makes special parts specific to set.
