Got a "Great offers coming soon" VIP email from TLG. For this Friday. Anyone knows what that means? Discounts? New sets? Free add-on?

42053 Volvo EW160E

42054 Claas Xerion 5000 TRAC VC

42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator

No pictures of those in the wild yet right?

I'm guessing those will be 2h sets.

Those are all 2H sets ... expect first info in January. They will be officially unveiled at the Nuremberg Toy Fair to the public.

New parts and unboxing review of Lego 2016 sets !

So TLG come with new 5L and 7L yellow axles. Interesting that it uses them in combination with grey 5L/7L axles.

Interesting new panels.

I think it's pretty clear and there's not too much to be expected: "Shop early to get up to 30% off select sale items!" ==> they'll discount only some sets, likely not the one I want.

It looks to me like this email only went out to US-based users, so not relevant in other countries, but I'm still holding to see what comes up tomorrow in the Swiss LEGO shop and other Swiss shops.

Last year, TRU had a 20% everything LEGO (from 100.- up) which was great to get the EV3 set. I'm still hoping for something similar, somewhere, this year...

EDIT: yep, same as last year, but it's 20% (not 30%), but it's in all sets!

Still, some sets are so expensive at TRU that even with the 20% you can get them cheaper in other shops.

What's the deal with those reviews out before December the 1st ? Isn't it a violation of NDA ? And if so, how are they allowed here ?

They bought these in stores, these small sets are now available.

Yup, it's a bit frustrating we need to wait till the 1st of December. Would be great if we could also post reviews for the four smaller sets.

I love the small jet, im very happy that they managed a good play mechanism with the landing gear.

Ill be buying at least two of them, one for display, one for parts, those 7L flex axles are awesome

It really must be..but on the other hand these are oly the small sets anyway.....

I do love the plane aswell......so cute and full of useful parts!!!!!

Pitty, that the panels on the plane are white. This would have been the time and reasonable opportunity to bring the very big, and the very small panels in yellow.

Waiting for the rest 1H sets... :classic:

If i am not mistaken the release date is supposed to be December 1 but most stores don't care and release early, it happens with video games too, it was possible to buy fallout 4 in Germany a whole week before release.

As others have already mentioned, I bought the new sets with my hard earned money from Toys R Us. I was not given anything from Lego so the Dec 1st restriction does not apply to me. My overall goal was to get the B-model info out there and to take a look at any new parts.

i just watched your video! did you get my comment about the offroader?

7L yellow axles with 5L LBG axles in one set and 5L yellow axles in another set. I am not sure what Lego's goal is here?

1. Make it easier for people to tell the difference between axles in a given set

2. Switch all odd number axles to yellow, but first have to clear out all the old 5L (and 9L/3L) LBG's on stock

3. Lego wants a rainbow of axle colours

4. All of the above

What they want to do is use them for the volvo's hand rails, and they thought that that a yellow axle would look better there in the plane than a lbg axle, and when they produce a new part they probley have to put it a number of sets so lego isnt wasted, and so they dont have to switch the macines off!

Edit:

The first quote on the 70th page yay!

(Excuse my excitement!)

Strangely, I don't remember anyone really asking for coloured axles. We have some and these are rarely used.
