Thirdwigg Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I agree, I think AFOLs choose the flagship every year, for me the Class no doubt and Volvo 2nd position... For example my flagship of 2014 was the Snowbike not the Volvo loader. Agreed. The snowbike was incredible. With each additional picture, the Claas keeps looking better and better.
Bering Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Lego chooses a flagship because of the number of bricks. We adults know that a flagship has nothing to do with the most parts or the size of the set.
Lyichir Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Lego chooses a flagship because of the number of bricks. We adults know that a flagship has nothing to do with the most parts or the size of the set. Does "flagship" make any sense as anything other than an internal designation, though? I always interpreted a "flagship model" as whichever set Lego generally gives the highest profile in terms of advertising the theme as a whole in magazines, websites, and so forth (which is generally, but not always, one of the biggest and most technically impressive sets of the year/wave). Even if there's a better set out there than the one Lego chose, it doesn't seem to make any sense to me to consider that a flagship if it's not being used as the primary representative of the theme as a whole.
GoldVillage Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Flagship = usually the last digit nr set. BTW has it happend before that the last 2H set of the year (in this case the Porsche) has been released before the other 2H sets?
N-4K0 Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 To me it has been logical that the biggest set is the flagship. Among the upcoming sets, the BWE is the logical flagship to me, due to being the one with the biggest part count and overall biggest size.

Ngoc Nguyen Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 The registration plate on the Claas says "OK420 54MJ". So the designer for this set is someone named Sam J?
Zerobricks Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 And what does OK420 stands for? That he's okay with weed?
ddeklerk Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I don't think so. The entire sets id is in that registration plate. 42054, OK420 54MJ.

MaxSupercars Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Here Claas Xerion 5000 Trac VC with the similar pneumatic arm at the back (position 4:30). Costs 299.000 EUR without VAT in basic version... OMG... :O But is beally a beaty. :) Max Edited June 14, 2016 by MaxSupercars
jorgeopesi Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I have no idea how Lego works... all Lego wheels are wider than necessary and these are narrower in proportion than the real class ones, but for once guess right. I have seen that there are a lot of types of class wheels, I have said nothing... Edited June 14, 2016 by jorgeopesi
Siegfried Meyer Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 So we will be getting some smaller once as well in the future......?
Henkl Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Hello Max, that is not a similar crane as the lego model. The lego model crane is a single crane. In the video you see a crane mounted on a chipper.
vliet Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Are the letters on the registration plate OK and MJ initials from one or two designers like on most Lego registration plates?
Maaboo the Witch Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Are the letters on the registration plate OK and MJ initials from one or two designers like on most Lego registration plates? I noticed that too. MJ is possibly Michael Jeppesen, and Milan Reindl usually puts OK on his models. OK is the Czech Republic's aerial code, though, so it might not apply to a ground vehicle. Could be Olav Kroigaard.
Appie Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Considering the above comments, it isn't known with 100% certainty who made the Claas? I kind of like to know, if only to know which guy(s) I need to applaud for coming up with this brilliant steering system.

I am interested to know who designed this set as well.
suffocation Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Wasn't Barman the one who designed the steering system?! I am interested to know who designed this set as well. Barman was the first (as far as I know) to post a mock-up of what he thought might be the Class' steering mechanism.
Jim Posted June 16, 2016 Author Posted June 16, 2016 Barman was the first (as far as I know) to post a mock-up of what he thought might be the Class' steering mechanism. Uhmmm yes....hence the joke
Siegfried Meyer Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) Hi All With this cold weather here I had some time to build in LDD again... and have finished the crane in LDD and model build for testing, now I will have to wait for the Set to become available. And the LXF File http://bricksafe.com...54-claas-xerion for those who share my anticipation for this set. :wub_drool: Let me know what you think TA Edited June 18, 2016 by Siegfried Meyer
Maaboo the Witch Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 That crane looks brilliant! Great work replicating it.
Ngoc Nguyen Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Let me know what you think TA Great work! Can you post some pictures that show the inner of the gearbox?
