November 20, 20168 yr The cabin on 42061 telehandler uses a new? halfbeam curve 5x7 (to make a bigger cabin). What I have since collecting Technic sets since 2013 is this halfbeam curve 5x3 frameĀ http://brickset.com/parts/4128554, I am not sure if this part has appeared in other sets outside Technic.

Yeah, it's been around since 2000. It first appeared in the 4WD X-Track set, and it's been in two seasonal sets and one or two BIONICLE sets as well.
November 20, 20168 yr The wheels on the jet are not new, maybe a new colour, but the mould is used in Speed Champions series.

Purple stands out, but pink doesn't. It's also stereotypically associated as a girly colour. Also, the AFOLs on this site seem to hate both new colour shadesĀ and red.

No, likeĀ Maaboo35Ā said not new, here is the Bricklink link:Ā http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=32251&in=SĀ (in 10 sets already) 58 minutes ago, Maaboo35 said: Funny you should say that. The quarter ellipse liftarms making up the cab were black in the prelim image, and they're now dark bluish grey on the genuine article. Foreshadowing!Ā I checked that too, and no, they weren't black in the prelim images either. Compare it to the black liftarm below. Although I see why one could be fooled to think its lighter color is just the result of light reflection. So in 42061 there is: New 2017 worm gear New Pinhole with two axles connector Previously rare gear rack with housing New Bucket mold, so farĀ exclusive in this set (?). At least in Technic. Correct me if I'm wrong. Mini Linear Actuator. The by far smallest set it has yet appeared in. As I guess 42061 will have less than 300 pieces. Next for that mini actuator was 8069 with 609 pieces. (As long as you don't count the excavator in 42023 as a separate set.) Axle with stop 5 in brown color (new color, in severalĀ 2017 sets) The aforementioned not so common 5x7 curved half beam lift arm Black rims, always good 2017 commemorative brick of course Wow!

November 20, 20168 yr So axle 5 with stop is now molded in reddish brown instead, I think it looks way worse than dark tan. We have seen many useful axles and connectors appearing in new colors, most of them look fairly good and are quite easy to blend into models. I am not a big fan of the reddish brown color though, it doesn't look to belong in a technic model. It looks like wood or someting...

Lol yes it does looks like wood!
November 20, 20168 yr TLG heard you guys don't like recoloring, so TLG brings you pin hole with pinĀ recolored into not just one, but two different colors

November 20, 20168 yr Then TLG says, let's screw the fans and recolor not just 5L axle with stop, but also the new pin hole with axle, into reddish brown.. Because reddish brown blends best into models! Edited November 20, 20168 yr by nguyengiangoc
November 20, 20168 yr That's actually this thing; either they made far too many for the Star Wars bonkles, or someone at TLG likes them very much.
November 20, 20168 yr 2017 has me so excited, I do think though that dark tan is better suited for that 5 axle with stop, it just doesn't pull your eye toward it like brown, and also with tan gears it seems more like it belongs then the reddish brown :/

Combined with a fan near the front, jets can VTOL with that.Ā Here's an image:Ā Edited November 21, 20168 yr by mattthewise
November 21, 20168 yr 42066 will break the sound barrier of sales! I wonder could it have been better if they used for the frontĀ a light blue version of the red part of the front of the 42064 ship? Edited November 21, 20168 yr by Samer
