Shit happens the operator didn't see the dozer. It's to small for BWE.

[1974]

TLG should make a superpack with one of the small creator machines

This might fit the buckets :

Sandvik PE100 - looks as if discharge conveyor is connected to another machine to spread the soil when strip mining.

Ouch i really hope no one was in that dozer as it got picked up. But that has given me some ideas on how to scrap a few of my smaller sets like that digger pictured.

[Bazhosh]

Some people said it's not very realistic, but you have to remember if they made this look like (I know it's not), say a bagger 238, bagger might have an issue if it wasn't licensed.

Bagger is not a company but the german name for excavator.

[1974]

That license would probably be free. I doubt Krupp will see a signicant rise in 288 sales just because of a toy. It's not something you accidently buy while being drunk late night on the internet

Some trust fund kid might buy a Porsche that way though

[allanp]

So really Porsche should be paying Lego!

[skriblez]

You know, this may be one of those times when the B-model is the model to beat, but someone still has to turn the box around 180°.

You are awaited at Valhalla.

It might have been in the old days when you could make and sell models and decals without getting letters from company lawyers. In the model railroad world, some US railroads only licensed a few companies to sell model decals of their logos. It can be about controlling who and how your brand name and image are used now. Also to make money from your brand name or image. In some industries, licensing can be a significant source of income. These days if you're making money off their brand, most likely they will want their share.

Hm, how to hide it from my wife?

I don't see those rubber studs that "70317 The Fortrex" has on its tracks. Disappointing

Simply fantastic...

[Alegomind]

Does anyone of you understand if BWE has new turntable?

[agrof]

Well, it can actually sort the bricks. Great playability with a front loader, I might like the B model slightly better than the A.

Lego keeps amaze us!

[Ngoc Nguyen]

That B-model is not as good as I hope. Why wouldn't Lego choose a trencher...

All the more reason for me not to buy this set.

[IJsmuts]

What is it?

[XAxles]

Told you the B-model is the winner for this set.

It'd be interesting to find out how the system sorts bricks.

Also... Whoever said that they're gonna buy two of this set is in luck.

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Wait what the model can actually SORT bricks? :O

My mind is blown...

[Jump]

Probably just small and big pieces seperation. Now I have two buy two. One BWE to output in the B model...
