May 3, 20168 yr ... wait wait, what is this on top right corner??? The next #TechnicUltimate car for 2017? (...) would TLG really be that stupid?? i don't believe that the 2017-car is accidentally on the background of a picture.
May 5, 20168 yr I intend to buy the Porsche on the day one. And i was wondering what is the best way to buy it?
May 5, 20168 yr I intend to buy the Porsche on the day one. And i was wondering what is the best way to buy it? Probably not an easy question to answer, it depends how TLG control/release the stock and where you live. I'm in the UK, for the 1H technic sets they we first available on Amazon DE, then S@H then Amazon UK and other retailers. I'm guessing as this is a biggy it might be S@H only initially but someone else may have some inside knowledge!
May 6, 20168 yr It's already been said it will be only from S@H, Lego brand stores, and a few select retailers in Germany June 1st, everywhere else August 1st.
May 6, 20168 yr It's already been said it will be only from S@H, Lego brand stores, and a few select retailers in Germany June 1st, everywhere else August 1st. I thought the statement said June 1st availability from S@H online only and Lego stores in Germany and Austria.
May 10, 20168 yr According to Zusammengebaut, the prices are confirmed 42053 - 90EUR 42054 - 150EUR 42055 - 230EUR Release date, August 1 Not bad
May 11, 20168 yr Although the official price for the Arocs if 199.99 EUR, now and then on eBay appear offers at 160 EUR. I'm hoping the same decrease of 40 EUR also happen for 42055 :D
May 14, 20168 yr Thanks to grum64 for the heads up but the following 2H sets are on Amazon uk but not in stock 42053 Volvo EW160E 42054 Claas Xerion 5000 42055 BWE 43056 Porsche the Porsche is also on uk S@H saying available 1st June

I know usually they are, but thought I'd ask anyway as most have been about July-Aug timeframe each summer here. I'm drooling over this year's offerings, probably the best ever. Can't even imagine what the cost of the Bucket Wheel Conveyor system will be... Probably not an easy question to answer, it depends how TLG control/release the stock and where you live.

Bet it sells out in the first day, and it will be a challenge for the factories to keep up with demand. Beautiful car. Love the orange color, too many red supercars, kinda sick of all red.

May 17, 20168 yr 1-It will be the 1st of the month in between July and September and 2-I doubt a $350 CAN set will sell out first day.
May 17, 20168 yr 1-It will be the 1st of the month in between July and September and 2-I doubt a $350 CAN set will sell out first day. Just shows that liecensing is quite expensive (I'm Canadian and LEGO technic prices - even used, is too high).
May 18, 20168 yr Just shows that liecensing is quite expensive (I'm Canadian and LEGO technic prices - even used, is too high). I know, I'm in the same boat (and country) as you.
May 18, 20168 yr I know, I'm in the same boat (and country) as you. I know I'm a bit off topic, but...I'm getting the 24 Hours race car from bricklink as a parts pack for my meager technic collection, but till then I'm going to try to make a tractor MOC, with PTO, and some attachments.
May 18, 20168 yr isn't there supposed to be a VIP early pre order type thing on the 17th may, could it be this? That is one thing I've never liked about S@H is no pre-order option like other sites such as Amazon, TRU. If this is the case, it would be real nice to be in line instead of trying to get a hold of Cust Svc that morning it releases. I wonder but doubt it will be sold in TRU stores, thereby avoiding shipping. Yeah, I realize at that price, normally it wouldn't be a sellout, but I am thinking, at least in the US and Canada, we won't have as many here as in Europe where the product is produced, and from looking at quite a few websites, that is the 1 set every Technic car enthusiast wants. $300 is pretty steep, but considering it has nearly as many parts as last year's Unimog is astounding. On a side note, the bucket conveyor system is immense as well, 3900+ pcs. I can't even imagine the price tag on that one.

May 20, 20168 yr I still think, in my opinion, the Class tractor is the king of 2016 2H technic sets! Can't wait to buy it!
May 20, 20168 yr I still think, in my opinion, the Class tractor is the king of 2016 2H technic sets! Can't wait to buy it! I´m with you.
May 20, 20168 yr I still think, in my opinion, the Class tractor is the king of 2016 2H technic sets! Can't wait to buy it! I agree. I don't plan on buying the BWE, and I'm on the fence when it comes to the Porsch and Volvo. I really like the Class though. Edited May 20, 20168 yr by dhc6twinotter
May 20, 20168 yr Working on a limited budget will favor sets with function over fashion, so I'd rather go with the BWE over the Porsche, Volvo may be nice for the pneumatics, depending on the outcome of reviews. Edited May 21, 20168 yr by JGW3000
