Technic 2016 Discussion and Speculation

[Ngoc Nguyen]

And several weeks later we'll have a name leak for Technic 2017.

[Siegfried Meyer]

The Circle of Lego :grin:

[Jim]

And we will be back at square one

But with a 2016 lineup to raise the bar (again) for years to come!

[Ngoc Nguyen]

It's been an honor speculating and discussing about sets with you guys for the last 1 year

We got the leaks on August 1st last year, hmmmm maybe it'll repeat this year on that day, Having release day and leak day all together would be very interesting.

I would just walk out of work. Tell them I have something more important I have to do :laugh:

Some sort of (missing?) link for 42053 is coming up on Canadian S@H, just type into the search bar "coming soon technic". Should be the same in the States.

And today is the first day of availability of 2H sets somewhere not in Legoland.

Where's that then?

[dimaks13]

Where's that then?

In Ukrainian webshop "rozetka". On 20th it will be first appearing offline.

[tgrbailey]

Wonderland models have just emailed saying about all 4 2H sets and it appears they have stock??

[tgrbailey]

So it looks like Argos will have the BWE and Volvo in stores early next week or you can order no for delivery in 2 days time..... If you are to believe the site!

Plus they have the 3 for 2 offer on!

[Ngoc Nguyen]

The Claas and BWE introduce a building technique that is simple but has never appeared before: limit the battery box switch direction.

I would not trust argos website. I ordered some lego last year and it never turned up. Went direct to lego store instead.

Edit 1: Having just checked stock at Argos I can reserve and collect today. Bizarre.

Edit 2: For those in the UK. I will be calling in Lego store on Monday to see if they are in stock and report back.

Good news everyone who ordered a 42056! Mine just shipped today! I ordered first day, so I'm assuming everyone else's will ship soon.

[Boulderer]

Picked the Volvo up this afternoon at Argos on the 3 for 2 offer.

That's great news. Hope to get one this week. What I don't understand is why they release them to other stores before thier own. I wonder if it's a limited release.

Actually the 42042 had that as well..

[N-4K0]

There is no switch limiter in the instructions for 42042.

[Ngoc Nguyen]

The 42042 has the multi-directional gearbox but doesn't have the battery box limit.

[Ngoc Nguyen]

It's the last week of July and Jim's reviews are still nowhere in sight :<

[Jim]

Nope :(

Hopefully the Claas will be ready next week. Have been occupied with other things.

[Siegfried Meyer]

Was hoping that you would stick to the 1st of August tradition

[Jim]

That's still possible (for the Claas)

[Siegfried Meyer]

Thanks Jim So we might see the volvo a bit later Today?

looking forward to your written review of the Claas
