AlphaX Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 This just went online, its a time-lapse build from Auto Bild.
charlesw Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 At the same time it hints the next ultimate set having this part: a Peugeot 106 (Maxi) Nope, this isn't the correct font
Anio Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Its still a day one buy for me! You'd better to wait a bit.Just my 2 cents.
Ngoc Nguyen Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) You know what they say? And not a single respect was given to the embargo deadline that year. Well, maybe except Jim and Sariel Edited May 26, 2016 by nguyengiangoc
technic_addict Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 You'd better to wait a bit. Just my 2 cents. I recall you mentioning there was a serious issue. Since it needs to bought online, I can always return it if it is a deal breaker. I likely won't get the set for a week after I order it anyways.
MaximusNL Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Auto Bild time lapse video Despite all the negativity I'm looking forward to go for a build myself.
charlesw Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Due to some missing parts stuck somewhere in the french postal "service" due to illegal strikes...if this set arrives at the same time as the last parts of the Pvdb's Koenigsegg One:1 I'm not sure of which to build first...most of the Koenigsegg parts are already pre-assembled though Edited May 26, 2016 by charlesw
tgrbailey Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 I phoned my local(!) Offical Lego store today to see if they have stock, which they do, and apparently tons of them when I questioned how early I needed to get there! )Booking my train ticket now :-) No dates for other 2H sets yet though :-(
Paul Boratko Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 new 3L connector + sand paper. Has anybody tried it? I did. It's much easier to break the little clips off of the driving ring..
tgrbailey Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 August 1st. The chap in the shop said no definite date but more like mid August/September
Grosse Kind Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Love watchin ol mate get the fangs into it at the 18:50 mark! Fast spooled through the bulk of video as 22 minutes seems an age if i'm not putting something together myself.
therealjustin Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Anio, I know you can't say too much but is this something along the lines of Wall-E's neck and head joint with it being an oversight and corrected later on? Or perhaps a limitation or flaw known to the designers and something that can't be changed?
zux Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 I did. It's much easier to break the little clips off of the driving ring.. I don't get it. If you need frictionless gear switch - can't you use 2L connector with older 2L driving ring? Or am I missing something here.
TheNextLegoDesinger Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 One Servo to switch gears and one XL to drive will make the effect of gear changing more visible. Just an m motor to switch gears because its 4 speed not 3 speed Servo is possible but its just harder
Lipko Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) @Zux: Yup, you are missing something It's much more convenient to build with the 3L connector (no half offset anywhere). And my comment reflected to the idea that the smooth 3L connectors are unique to the Porsche set. And if so, how to circumvent this thing. Edited May 27, 2016 by Lipko
Anio Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Anio, I know you can't say too much but is this something along the lines of Wall-E's neck and head joint with it being an oversight and corrected later on? Or perhaps a limitation or flaw known to the designers and something that can't be changed? It appears to me that the problems of 42056 are much deeper than the problem of the neck of Wall-E or the LA's from 8043. To work properly, 42056 would require some major redesign on many aspects. In that regard, I emailed TLG a few days ago, advising them to postpone the release of the set. The Technic team got my message and is probably looking into the model to see what is wrong. I got no feedback from them at the moment. In any case, there are many Lego Ambassadors here on EB. If TLG decides something about 42056, I am sure you will know it very quickly. Just stay tuned. :)
nerdsforprez Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Wow..... this really is a game stopper. Thanks for the info. No need to stay up til midnight the 31st...... at least for me anyways. I will wait for the news.....
Cumulonimbus Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) @ Anio: Thank you for the small update, that really does sound serious. Edited May 27, 2016 by Cumulonimbus
Anio Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 No need to stay up til midnight the 31st...... And what about the reviews ? :laugh:
aol000xw Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 So overpriced and flawed? Yeah that's the standard for everything ultimate/deluxe/special edition nowadays.
JamesJT Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 I bought 8043 from lego on day 1 and a month later I got a service pack with 4 more LAs and a £10 lego voucher. The possibility that this set is flawed only makes me want it (and what ever free parts that may follow) more. 1st editions are usually worth more on the aftermarket too.
