Technic 2017 Set Discussion

[Huaojozu]

I would love a fridge, one worthy of a 2H Flagship. 4000 pieces of fridgey goodness with working cooling and a small freezer.

Oh no, what have I done? 

But that might be great! Retractable shelves, light elements...

DO IT (or just buy two 42050s and sell everything else)

HNNNG, that looks soooo damn good, especially compared to the stock tires.

 

I was really hoping for 42050 showing up to seriously drop the price on those tires, but that hasnt really happened :(

 

Im sitting here looking at a €50 bricklink order, just cant do it man...

Nothing has had it in red previously. All of the Ninjago "Airjitzu" sets have included it in Transparent.

And I got 2 Airjitzu for the kids last year and didn't notice the connection

Is 42061 canned or are they still gonna release it?

[Saberwing40k]

At this point, we don't know. It shouldn't be much longer until there is information. After all, often times some of the 1H sets appear in December.

Well since the wheels are extremely at the side of helicopter, only with usage os universal joints it will be possible to transmit rotation from wheels to fake engine which is highly unlikely...and wedge belt wheels are not noticable here inside helicopter on experimental plane (B-model). so it seems like it is just fake engine for display or for playing with rotors...

I have made a replica of the helicopter and I believe it moves the engine when the top AND rear rotor move, the version I built had a knob to turn the rotors on the side since they were connected to the same gear train, it's a fairly straight forward build and I'll try and post video soon

Also I have built a replica of the telescopic handler from 42062, and am fairly certain it will introduce a new piece in the rear gear train, though I can't be certain, the cabin lifts to open, the boom raises and lowers, it has rear wheel steering, the boom arm length is adjustible via a lever and locks when fully extended, and the grabber opens, the vehicle actually reminds me of the mini mobile craine from way back, the one I built I believe has enough room for a fake engine in the front as well :)

I hope they haven't cancelled 42061. It's the only set in the 1H wave I'd buy without hesitation.

Even if they did a last minute redesign and release it in pink?

and it looks like this one is in light bluish gray for the fist time in set 42060?

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=15458&idColor=11#T=C&C=11

or isi it in dark bluish gray like allready seen on bucket wheel excavator, etc...

It is dark bluish gray. The pictures of the b model shows it clearly.

Agreed. I'd also buy the cargo truck/telehandler combo set, but I'd prefer the stand-alone telehandler. 

I had originally planned to get the tracked racer, but since it only has M motors, I've decided against it. I already have two battery boxes, an M motor, a remote, and plenty of tracks. I don't need anything from that set that isn't worth just buying stand-alone.

Whoa it has a moving bum

ALSO: looks like I'm getting back to that pictorial part report now

Observations:

- The tail has MK, so it's from Markus.
- Any jet enthusiast can enlighten me on what that motorized wheel rim is?
- It looks way cooler than the prelim image.
- The B model has two fans, but none is visible in the A model. So there must be an engine compartment with openable lid in the A model.
- No seat ejection.
- Battery box on the bottom, at the middle of the jet.
- The two tail rudders are linked via tow ball liftarms.
- There are two black 20z gears serving as knobs. One for front wheel steering, no idea what the other one is for. Probably rudder steering.
- Only 2 motorized functions. The changeover catch switch directions. I think this will be the norm for Technic models from now on.
- The front wheel is BOTH steerable and retractable. This thing's new.
- Pin hole with pin got recolored into LBG
- Pin hole with 1 axle recolored into reddish brown, near the flap.

Wow panels heaven, specially black trapesoid ones. Honestly I like B model more based on those images. Thumbs up dokludi. btw when we shall expect your famous replica of this set?

[Ngoc Nguyen]

I think it's the norm now that Technic models will be panel-heavy.
