LIVE from the LEGO VAULTS, September 7 at 3pm GMT" Perfect timing for the middle of the working day, both Europe and the Americas. I'm not sure how many of the AFOL community will be able to tune in for what is surely going to be most appealing to AFOL nostalgia. Quote

And it will probably be recorded and shown on a channel. Quote
Boulderer Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 I'd be interested to know where TLG deem the highest density of Technic fans to be. AFOL's in the western hemisphere will likely be at work, and younger fans will be back at school. It kind of makes a mockery of the event being "LIVE". Quote

Some schoolers here get out at 3, but still have to get home, just wait for news on it. Quote

In ohio, where I live, most schools have the buses at the stops 7:30 am. And I think it is the same in other places. Edited September 4, 2017 by Aventador2004 Quote
Cwetqo Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Well, what's more important to LEGO is that it's during work day in Billund and Enfield (otherwise they would have to pay overtime, vault might not be opened etc...). Why Billund? Vault is there (of course). Why Enfiled (USA)? People who are doing digital content in TLG are there. :) Quote
Jim Posted September 4, 2017 Author Posted September 4, 2017 As usual @Cwetqo comes with a solid explanation! Quote

Me too :) For those who cannot - they can watch it on phone app as well :) like siting in the, well on that round "white chair" :) :) :) :) while they are "taking a break" And now more seriously, I wonder what else we will see from that vault that we did not have seen on multiple youtube videos so far ? :) Edited September 4, 2017 by AOW Quote

LOL I wonder same as you, sariel already has been into the vault with his camera. Quote

Or they surprise us with something unexpected at the end of the "tour" Quote

AVCampos Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Watching that teaser, the thought occurred: it would be quite funny if TLG "painted" this Mack truck in red and blue flames... Quote

Jim Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 If they reveal something, it would be the 40 year anniversary set we all hope is still coming. However, it's not likely. They said no more sets this year, so it would be released in 2018. Quote
N-4K0 Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 If the Mack is part of the 1H18 sets, I doubt it would be revealed as early as this month. That would basically be an invitation for Lepin and the like to start ripping off the design early. Quote

The only thing they (eventually) could make is some anniversary model as combination of 42068, 42069 and 42070 set like anniversary chassis from 1H, but we have to concentrate us on 2018 when sets (probably) would be released Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 If they indeed do a combo model of those three sets the color will be horrendous... Quote
