Emmi Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I think that's just aesthetic detailing, it's fixed in place by two pins. Oh, I just looked at it again, I guess you are right. At first the light grey part looked like it were arrows, sth like this Quote
timtimgo87 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 With this set, we will finally get the small panels in white never seen before. Quote
davidmull Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Mmm not much toy fair info at all in the last 2 days. I'd really love to see the crane arm working :) I love the white colour scheme a lot but will need to be kept away from light as bricks will yellow after a few years. Edited January 30, 2015 by davidmull Quote
Emmi Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) The Toy Fair is in full shape and yet no updates for almost 3 days, no other video than the one from promobricks? Something seems fishy here. Well I hope that changes over the weekend, let's not forget that the Toy Fair still runs until February 2nd. UPDATE: There's definitely more pictures coming, including the Fire Plane, Promobricks took a lot of pictures and will post them in due time - best thing is to follow his twitter feed https://twitter.com/promobricks or the website http://www.promobricks.de/ Edited January 30, 2015 by Emmi Quote
Duky Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Back from the fair! Some more infos! Release is in August, B-Model looks like the same as the 8285 B-Modell Steering with the lights at the top, same Price as the Volvo Loader! Mercedes looks really impressive! Pneumativ V2 Version! Quote
Emmi Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) August, didn't expect it that early. GREAT! Edited January 30, 2015 by Emmi Quote
nerdsforprez Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 There was a thread I started a while back on here and it's titled "glue and nails". Essentially, if you look at all the studless official sets, the numbers of pins and bushings typically makes around 50% of the total part count. To me, advertising the total number of parts (when those are getting smaller and smaller) is a bit misleading as it offers no 'tangible' value to the set itself. Yes, it's a useful tool for marketing people, but I'd rather see the total weight of all parts together as a better metric. I would guess that between the various pins and 1L bushings (which are becoming few in the sets), count on the pins to be easily over 1000. You could of course add as well the small 2L thin liftarms and 2L red axles, and that number will quickly climb higher. Agreed. I did some regression analyses a while back using part count and weight regressed onto price of set and guess which one won?Yup, you guessed it. Weight is a better predictor than piece count in terms of price of a set. Quote
TheNextLegoDesinger Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 i can't wait to get the box in my hands Quote
TechnicHead41 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Question ! Why do they show the pneumatic shift valves on the box ?? Do we get a new version of them or what ??? Quote

andythenorth Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) i can't wait to get the box in my hands I can't wait to put it in the recycling (No, not sarcasm, means the build will be finished). Edited January 30, 2015 by andythenorth Quote
gevans12 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I can't wait to put it in the recycling (No, not sarcasm, means the build will be finished). Am I the only one that keeps the boxes? Quote
andythenorth Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Am I the only one that keeps the boxes? Eh, it's a long jump from "andythenorth is recycling his" to "gevans12 is the only one that keeps his" You're probably not the only one. When I was a kid I used to keep them. For one thing they had pictures of the C/D/Z models on. Quote
Ondra Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Back from the fair! Some more infos! Release is in August, B-Model looks like the same as the 8285 B-Modell Steering with the lights at the top, same Price as the Volvo Loader! Mercedes looks really impressive! Pneumativ V2 Version! This will be hard to choose, what model to build.I love camions.But probably I stick on main model, because it will be very tricky to build and packed with functions. Quote
davidmull Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Am I the only one that keeps the boxes? Nope I keep them all too. The newer boxes are hard to mind though very fragile. Back from the fair! Some more infos! Release is in August, B-Model looks like the same as the 8285 B-Modell Steering with the lights at the top, same Price as the Volvo Loader! Mercedes looks really impressive! Pneumativ V2 Version! That's all the stuff we kind of know already. Any new news? Quote
Dafgek81 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I am curious about the B-model to. If it's going to be a flatbed recovery truck, I will have to but to of those sets. I would love to have the bigger brother of the 8109 Quote
davidmull Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I didn't know about the B-model Flat bed truck we were told last week.maybe it's a lowboy for 42030 :) Edited January 30, 2015 by davidmull Quote
D3K Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Flat bed truck and low loader is not the same.. Would be cool with a low loader though! With all the wheels, it may actually be a possibility, something along the lines of Ham's,but with a 2-or 3-axle tractor (depending on whether it has dual wheels or not Quote

deehtha Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I know the focus is on the pneumatics, but did anyone notice the DBG beam with what appears to be integrated rack on the outriggers and the final section of the arm? Or the red enclosure that looks like it is designed to hold it? Can be seen really well in this picture: Quote
deehtha Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Oh, sorry. THought I read every post, now to go see what else I missed. Quote
Milan Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Oh, sorry. THought I read every post, now to go see what else I missed. Sry, I wrote in this topic, it may have been in general 2015 topic, but it was mentioned. Always nice to see new part :) Quote
Richard Dower Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 On the displayed model, it is 1x6 thin liftarms in yellow, not 1x5. Thin liftarms in 1x5, 1x6 and 1x7 are very common in Yellow...lots of sets from 2014-15 have them. If you want to talk rarity then look no further then the Red liftarms in 1x5, 1x6, 1x7......VERY RARE! I guess those who hoarded 8258 for making a profit will be upset now :D I built 8258 by buying parts brand new....took me a few months to collect the parts, but i got it 100% part accurate. It cost about €350 to buy all the parts. Better then giving some scalper €500! Quote
