msk6003 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) @Saberwing40k here. 42069 is 199,900(175.88$) 42068 is 129,900(114.31$). And some question. I can't find 42070's part count. How much part include in 42070? Edited June 26, 2017 by msk6003 Quote
Saberwing40k Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Thanks for the link, but this just raises more questions. Whereas every other Technic set in Korea is the same price, or sometimes a bit cheaper than in the US, 42070 is like $100 above the US price, which is already too high. All in all, 42070 is shaping up to be the Porsche of this year. Large, but technically uninspired and overpriced. And a massive letdown. Let's hope this doesn't become a trend. Because that would suck. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Ultimate 42070 thread coming then? And some 42070 enthusiast will make the set worthwhile Quote
agrof Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 @nguyengiangoc I am also waiting for that, I like the 42070 A model. Though, the prices are over my limits... maybe on sale, but I don't mind if I will miss any of the sets. Quote

It is interesting how those prices changed when compared to older flagship sets. 42030 price was set to 220€, with 1636 pieces (including full PF pack of parts). 42043 price was 200€, with 2793 pieces (only one L motor, but large quantity of pneumatic parts). 42070 price is 260€, with 1862 pieces (and it has only two motors and one receiver). So 42070 has 229 pieces more than 42030, but lacks a servo, L motor, and second IR receiver with remote, while being 40€ more expensive than Volvo, which was a licensed set.

valenciaeric Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Even compared with 9398 Crawler or 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator, 42070 is expensive. The only reasonable justification is the cost of those big tyres, yet you get 4 of them with the Claas for a lot less. I guess the smartest thing is to wait for the parts list to come out and see how many you already have in inventory - it seems that with Vovlo, Arocs, Claas and Display jet, you´ll have almost everthing essential to build it apart from 2 tyres.

Ivan_M Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I don't know why are you so hyped about RRP, take a look at all currently sold sets and compare RRP with actual prices. Fox example Xerion - RRP 149.99€, usual price in local toy store ~120€, cheapest online 100€. Same for Porsche, BWE etc. Remember - high % sale is like magnet for buyers so TLG is just adapting to current trend. And if you cannot/don't want to wait - you have to pay extra. 1 hour ago, msk6003 said: And some question. I can't find 42070's part count. How much part include in 42070? Around 1850 Quote

While the tractor by itself is not bad, it's just a copy of the 8284 with its functions wasted, just like the 75098 Assault on Hoth and the 10249 Winter Toy Shop aren't bad on their own but bad because they're nothing more than repackagings of older sets.

TechnicRCRacer Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Not my favorite model, 42069 is the best IMO so far. Quote

My too, but often I buy sets for parts, you could never have enough beams, gears, connectors, panels in other words LEGO Because of this uncurable infection we are on this forum Quote

Cumulonimbus Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I must admit that I don't understand the 42070 B-model either. It appears it doesn't use any of the turntables (I guess 1 large and 3 small ones) nor the four gear racks of the A-model or even the six tires (the spare tire is a bit lame). To me it feels like they really didn't have the time to build anything more complicated then a truck, and together with the 42068 (which was designed a while ago) it make me wonder if the Technic designers were/are busy working on something else still in the pipeline? Anyway, the 42070 is a great collection of parts, so I guess we will see a lot of C-models the coming months, maybe even an idea for a competition of some sorts? Quote
Lakop Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Now i've seen 42070 in action i'm tempted. Whereas i'm thinking 42068 should be in the scale of 42070. H Quote

jorgeopesi Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Maybe something over 400 euros in any case . Quote

I have already mentioned that there will be no other Technic sets this year, but that TLG designers claimed they weren't done with the 40 year anniversary yet. Time will tell. For now, stick to the 2017 sets. Thanks. Quote
Globemaster8 Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 I'm intrigued by 42069, I hope it has a lot of complex gearing to make the build more advanced. The truck looks okay, but I wish it was in a colour such as sand or tan just to give it a more military feel to it. I can see why they went with the colour scheme they used, probably to attract a younger audience especially with it having the remote function. Quote
nerdsforprez Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Please forgive the naivete of this question, I have searched fruitlessly for an answer.......but why the teddy bear for 42070?? Quote
AVCampos Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 I think it's supposed to be as mascot, as I believe some truck drivers tie teddy bears on the grilles, like what happened to... Spoiler ... Lotso on Toy Story 3 Quote

It looks like, there is no exact and simple answer for that. Quote
MattL600 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Look what I found... https://www.brickshop.nl/lego/lego-technic/lego-42070-6x6-all-terrain-sleepwagen.html They even have a video with the functions of it and the B model: It says pre order on the site but 'expected' 28 of june... which is today! I myself will not be able to get this in any way as I cannot afford it :( I can see maybe a huge truck or rally car... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF_NLp919YQ&t Haha good luck guys I wonder where they placed the anniversary brick.

Didumos69 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 That's thrilling, but I think this belongs in the Technic 2017 Set Discussion. Quote
Didumos69 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) 42070 bends severely under it's own weight. Would bother me a lot. Smells like something that could be improved . Edited June 28, 2017 by Didumos69 Quote
