bob st-claire Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 trenchers are fine, but there were trenchers before. BWE is first of its kind. TLG made trucks before Arocs, front loader before 42030, cranes before 42042 etc. But real badass big mining BWE is 1st of its kind. B model of BWE should (I hope) be something 1st of its kind too. I hope in something like this: Quote
kolbjha Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 i have a picture of the ip car ...and GT means Grand Tracks... Quote
Thehoss Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Hi, really liking the sound of the BWE set. Not sure if its been suggested but could the B model be some sort of mobile crusher? Quote
AOW Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 did you noticed that the barrel from the Mine Loader, it has 3 pin holes and if you "break" it in half you will have a kind of bucket - those 3 pin holes they early match the 2 pin holes on the new tracks... Quote
kolbjha Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Thats interesting ;) with that method they could just thrown any 2 vehicles they want in one box and then claim "largest technic set ever with 3000+ pieces" Why not the 42009 crane and the Arocs in same box, first ever 5000 pieces set. I guess the dumper truck is included for playability, and also parts for the B model. A small guess: Perhaps the B model in fact consists of two models, but more equal in size to each other than the BWE and dumper truck? Edited January 25, 2016 by kolbjha Quote
Kman860 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Maybe the truck is the B model, and we all have to buy two BWE for any play ability :laugh: Quote
aminnich Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 That would be a good buisness plan for LEGO Quote
Sakel Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 It would be a bad business plan for my wallet. Quote
Jub Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 So it seems the BWE will be huge in scale and piece count. From what I have read and understand it isn't based on the giants which I really hoped it would have been. From the reports that I have read, 2H2016 is going to be a great year for technic. Thank you all for your speculation and hopes and wishes. I'm glad that you all welcomed me into the thread and I hope we all have our dreams come to fruition this year Quote
kevinmosto Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 But they said the Volvo has pneumatics, so either they made a mistake and a motor is used to run the pump, or there is some hand controlled pump of sorts... I would bet it has a motor. Brickset has confirmed that no motor is in the Volvo. So I would assume the pump is hand-operated. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I'm still a bit appalled by the fact that Xerion has a crane. Everything has a crane. First Unimog, then Arocs, now Xerion. I wouldn't be surprised if one day Lego made a car or a front loader with a crane. If you like it then you should have put a crane on it (~' ')~ Edited January 26, 2016 by nguyengiangoc Quote
Geekphysique Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Just be happy this wasn't the ultimate IP car: Quote

Saberwing40k Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 What, I'd have loved that as an Ultimate Car, especially since the crane allows for more functions than the standard car, and would be especially nice if Lego mad the camera mount stabilized somehow. Quote
Ondra Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 How big do you think this BWE is? (It will be closer to minfig scale than 42030 scale, is my bet with no evidence). I mean same car model, but scaled down to BWE. Quote
Jub Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I plan on buying two of the BWE and a lot of Lego string and making the bagger 288 from them. I will post pics when I have it completed. Please don't be too critical of my build when I do post it Quote

To be honest I would as well as it is actually the kind of stuff I work with in my industry. I was just trying to be funny ;) Quote
deehtha Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 It would be especially nice if the camera car was to with Bluetooth and had a camera that was displayed within the Bluetooth control app Quote
Aleh Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) It seems like we have only a few hours before any quality photos from the exhibition will be publish? Oooh!! Edited January 26, 2016 by Aleh Quote
Vectormatic Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 What, I'd have loved that as an Ultimate Car, especially since the crane allows for more functions than the standard car, and would be especially nice if Lego mad the camera mount stabilized somehow. Crane hijinks aside, i'd be extremely disappointed if lego chose to make their biggest supercar ever a friggin panamera, the thing is hideous. Quote
hsky Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 The LEGO PressPreview will start at 14.00 PM at Nürnburg Toy Fair. After that, they can make Pictures and Vids of everything . Source: http://www.promobricks.de/spielwarenmesse-2016-presspreview-lego-pressekonferenz/12616 Quote
aol000xw Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 TLG might set the bar quite high this year. The Volvo is pneumatic which in itself makes the set relevant beyond its part count. The Claas got new wheels. The BWE is big and potentially a very interesting model. The IP Car might be an 8880 successor If everything is as good as I expect it to be, next year will hardly be as good as this one. Quote
Emmi Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Only three hours until first images will appear. Quote
