Vectormatic Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I try to avoid actively participating in the discussion, but I think you hit the nail of the head. That makes a lot of sense. (although I hope you are wrong and we will see it later this year) Agreed on the hoping well see it this year As mostly a racing/car interested technic fan, otherwise the €30 go kart will be the biggest set this year to catch my interest..

Bricktrain Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Delays are always possible but it has been listed in dealer lists for being available this year. Quote

lindr6 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 What if the new IP car had some sort of new pneumatic 2.0 part that simulates disc brakes and/or a clutch. A new pneumatic part like this would likely drive some demand, even if the price is high, and possibly earn the 'ultimate' name. Quote
deehtha Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I would rather have new suspension pieces to get proper steering geometry rather than brakes or a clutch. Quote

Samer Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Has noone ever questioned the meaningfulness of 2 in 1 sets (Technic). To date I have never build a B model because to me at least the A model is always the better choice - both in building experience and final looks. Why not let 2 in 1 sets completely go for the big sets (they can still do it with the smaller ones) and put even more focus on the main model? IMO having B model greatly contributes to the value and richness of the set. It makes it less boring, more build-able, more playable, and triggers creativity by showing that there are other stuff that can be done with the pieces. Having B model for smaller sets also says they aint small at all and ideas are always there. Not sure if this was off-topic but felt tempted to say. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 The building instruction for Helicopter A model is out. No instruction for B model yet. Quote
Technic Jim Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 I would rather have new suspension pieces to get proper steering geometry rather than brakes or a clutch. or a zero offset wheel. Quote
allanp Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Most supercars have wheels with a very large positive offset as well as a large diameter and very low profile tiles which makes lots of room inside the wheel. As you can see in the picture below, the wheel nuts are pretty much level with the most outward face of the tyre. Edited January 9, 2016 by allanp Quote
Ondra Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) I found something interesting on these russian webpages.For bucket wheel excavator they say that this set is remote controlled, will have own app and is under theme Lego Technic-Working technology.I dont know what this mean, but xerion on same webpages doesnt have this. https://e-gamestore....uct/view/49/864 So first set with new PF? Prices Volvo 10990 RUB Xerion 9990 RUB BWE 39 990 RUB 42056 6990 RUB. Not sure if real prices or not. Edited January 10, 2016 by Ondra Quote
Ondra Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 App is probably just for instructions. I never saw app instructions for such a huge set.Or it will be some kind of game that tie in with this set. Quote

Prices Volvo 10990 RUB Xerion 9990 RUB BWE 39 990 RUB 42056 6990 RUB. Not sure if real prices or not. If the prices are right: Volvo 134 euro, Xerion 122 euro, BWE 480 euro ??, and IP Car 85 euro. BWE seems a tad high to me. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 ......BWE 480 euro ...... BWE seems a tad high to me. Man that is expensive,better start saving. Quote
zux Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 In eastern part of Europe LEGO is roughly 20% more expensive. So keep that in mind when converting RUB to EUR. Quote
Kaanere Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I simply can't see the IP car being so small, wasn't it rumored to be "Technic UCS"? Quote
GoldVillage Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 The russians has probably done too much reading here on eurobricks to pick up some of our wishes about BWE being RC, and then on top of that they got their prices all wrong BUT, actually the price for volvo and xerion makes sense, however for the BWE and "IP car", it does not.

allanp Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Interesting post on TechnicBRICKS about WeDo 2.0. Here's a snippet. "Q: Why do you call the elements PF when the connectors are not compatible? A: We call them PF because it is linking up to the new platform. WeDo 2.0 is not compatible with the old WeDo. Although all future PF will be compatible with the new platform introduced with WeDo 2.0." The prices from the Russian site seem weird. Over 400 euro for a BWE? Ultimate IP car being so cheap?

Ondra Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) I think price for BWE is double, but as stated prices for xerion and volvo seems OK. Edited January 10, 2016 by Ondra Quote
dimaks13 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) These prices are pre-order prices. Real russian prices will be ~twice lower or ~2/3 from that prices (if rubles won't become lower). Also, russian prices are not 20% more expensive than european. Only less than 5% more. Edited January 10, 2016 by dimaks13 Quote
Waler Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Looking at those sets and this price list, one conclusion is coming to my head: it doesn't make sense. At all. Quote
Ondra Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 Looking at those sets and this price list, one conclusion is coming to my head: it doesn't make sense. At all. Can you post please proper pricing for each set? Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Man that is expensive,better start saving. It's russia and crazy resellesrs. Drag racer listed in this shop costs roughly 160-200 euro. Just do not trust) Quote
