Jim Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Soft tires? That doesn't bode well for using them as 42030 replacement tires I guess, especially with the heavy rear end. They aren't exactly soft. They are softer than I expected, but still hard enough for the 42030. I don't have the 42030 built anymore, so I can't show it to you guys. Would the tires also look good on 42030? If possible, can you post a picture in your review? Many thanks, and your teasers are killing me...;) There may be some reviews before yours, but your pics are the best and well worth biding time... That's good to know. I will take my time then See my comment about the 42030. Unfortunately I disassemble most of the sets, due to lack of space.
BrickWild Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I wasn't very fond of the lime green color in Technic, but this suddenly changed when I saw the Claas. Lime Green, Red and White....yes please! Looking forward to a full review! Not long now!
jorgeopesi Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I am sorry if someone asked before, are they the new hubs stronger that previous ones?. Old hubs from Ferrari Enzo still are the best ones for me without count 8880 ones of course.

Old hubs from Ferrari Enzo still are the best ones for me without count 8880 ones of course. I don't think we have comparison data yet. By strong you mean "less prone to breaking"?
jorgeopesi Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I don't think we have comparison data yet. By strong you mean "less prone to breaking"? Maybe explain me wrong, if they have less slack?, less unnecessary movement between the two parts. Paul explains better than me in the video.
Jim Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Let me check that for you. If I remember correctly it isn't much better than the older versions.
Sariel Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I wasn't very fond of the lime green color in Technic, but this suddenly changed when I saw the Claas. Come on, Jim. Lime is love, lime is life
Jim Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Come on, Jim. Lime is love, lime is life Recently, I have seen the light....or the lime.... I think the combination with medium blue ruined it for me. The Claas has a way better combination. How about this model with red rims and red instead of medium blue, using the Claas tires
jorgeopesi Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Thank you Jim, sometimes I don´t understand because new things are worst that old ones, then I wake up and I remember that everything is business and nothing can be perfect because would be useful and we would not need to spend more money .
legolijntje Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I happend to have 8284 and 8274, I'm really considering building these when I order my Claas and make a small Diorama. I'm sure they'll look really nice together (although the Claas probably looks a bit more modern)
Gnac Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 How about [42037] with red rims and red instead of medium blue, using the Claas tires Just for you, Jim: That's the best I can do with donor parts for now :B
Jim Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Just for you, Jim: That's the best I can do with donor parts for now :B Thanks The wheels look big and cool, but the red and green combo doesn't look nearly as good as I'd hoped. I think green and white with red rims will work better. To the moderator: Sorry for this off topic side step
dr_spock Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Maybe an alt build (C-model) for this set could be RC from Pixar's Toy Story movies? Lime green for the body and red wheel rims.

tgrbailey Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Just ordered mine today. It might be delivered just short of 1st of August, as per the information received from the shop. Where did you order from?
dimaks13 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Today it was confirmed, that I'll get one not later, than on 23rd July.
Catalinanmb Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Where did you order from? Official Lego reseller shop in Romania.
tgrbailey Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Today it was confirmed, that I'll get one not later, than on 23rd July. How!? Official Lego reseller shop in Romania. Ah, no shops like that near me, I guess it's ordering online on the 1st or a trip to Cardiff again!!

Jim Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Wait a minute, you are from the Netherlands but you are complaining about weird vehicle colors? Are we known for our poor vehicle color preference?! Wasn't aware of that :P
legolijntje Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Are we known for our poor vehicle color preference?! Wasn't aware of that :P Me neither
Catalinanmb Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 It think it might have something to do with the Queen's Weed Shop.
