Jim Posted July 16, 2018 Author Posted July 16, 2018 I am very active in board gaming as well and in FB groups I do see a lot of complaints about DHL as well. I have had several TLG shipments with pierced boxes. All delivered by DHL. Quote

Jim Posted July 16, 2018 Author Posted July 16, 2018 Ladies and gentlemen.....we got him! Or "them" in this case. Box seems to be good condition. The babies and the father are doing okay. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Who (what) are the babies and who (what) is the father Quote
merman Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Oh in this case it was Lego’s packaging to blame and because of the weight of 42082 this box also was slightly misformed... Quote

Jim Posted July 16, 2018 Author Posted July 16, 2018 I'm sorry to inform that you will be getting full reviews for all four sets after all I have finished the introduction, shooting box images, content etc, and the write-up until the build for the Crane and the Forklift. Tomorrow I will finish everything up until the build phase for the Forest Harvester and Volvo Zeux. After that it's only building, shooting pictures of the progress and doing a little write-up per step. And concluding with a rant....or praise I like this workflow so far. Should do it this way more often. Quote
1gor Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) To be honest I'm curious (also) about forklift ? ...and @Jim please pin reviews for some time (until interest wears off) so we can enjoy beautiful pictures if new sets Thanks Edited July 16, 2018 by I_Igor Quote

AVCampos Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Have you spotted any new moulds so far? (I consider those introduced in the Chiron as also "new") Quote
merman Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) No new parts except for the pneumatic switches in 42080 Edited July 16, 2018 by merman Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Since we're talking about new molds, allow me to express my nostalgia about 2H 2016 sets which give us a supercar and a bunch of amazing new molds Edited July 17, 2018 by Ngoc Nguyen Quote

1gor Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 But I think this year we have 6 sets with drivetrain (differential and engine): - 42075 (one diff) - 42077 (one diff) - 42078 (two diff's) - 42079 (one diff) - 42082 (two diff's) - 42083 (two diff's) And (I assume) seven sets with over 1000 parts...

JonathanM Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 For NZers: Toyco have 42079, 42081 and 42082 in stock at 20% off until Wednesday the 25th. They have similar discounts pretty much every couple weeks, so no need to hurry unless you really want 'em now. Prices at 20% off are 72, 199, 399. Weird to see them have them before proper release date - they also have 42083 in stock - no discount. Quote
