Freekysch Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 I really like the catamaran, it is something else than we are used to. Quote
Josephiah Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 What is the light grey ball part at the top of the yacht's mast? Quote

I think the control can be built with just gears and knobs. No. This is actually brilliant. Because that is how it works on the real yacht like this. This is brilliant representation of real mechanism stuffed in small space. This is excellent. _____________________ Please, do you know (think) if 42074 yellow is the same yellow as 42053 of 42030 (I mean "normal yellow")? it looks bit brighter, but I might be wrong (I hope I am). Thanks. Edited October 28, 2017 by J_C Quote

It looks like a motor scraper did the nasty with a flatbed truck! According to the authentic source this is an "articulated flatbed truck", like this one: Quote

Sometimes when I try to explain something without picture I need more time to make understandable description...now back to topic. Yacht is interesting, it has good illustration of how "sailing" works Quote
AOW Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Have you noticed that model B of 42074 has Technic Pin 3L in Orange? Quote

Vectormatic Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Im mildly amused that the b-model of the smallest set is basically a mini version of this years airport firetruck Im slightly worred with the trend towards more neon/fantasy things though, the two pullback racers and the road works thingy give off a distinct mid 00s vibe, which was a terrible time for technic. The sailboat looks cool though, pretty tempting set Quote
JonathanM Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Weird how these 'photos' (renderings I guess?) have odd colours. e.g. in 42084 B model it looks like the 48989 pin connector with 4 pins is in DBG, where as in the A model it's clearly LBG (and very likely, as it's never been in DBG). Thus, I conclude that the DBG axle+axle connector on the fire hose is possibly just LBG as well?? Same with the half bush in 42071 B-model (in center) looks DBG, but is probably LBG. Quote

The pull-backs definitely do hearken back to the early 00s, but at least they have an actual Technic function, as opposed to the sets released since 2013, and there's the combo model as well. I actually wish TLG would do more with the whole 'futuristic' thing, though. Sets like 8446 and 42038 have definitely proven that it works when done right, i.e. with plenty of intricacy and features. @kbalage - thanks for the picture! Consider me informed. Quote

Or perhaps some key words so that I can conduct some research about this? Quote

I think the control can be built with just gears and knobs. No, this model is a great example of a technical model. Instead of moving the sail with your hand, you can move the steering wheel and the pulleys and gears will turn the sail. This is a great model, but... I will not be buying it. Quote

Never mind! Quote
Aleh Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 As I understand Mack moves to 2H 2018 sets? Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Mack is included in 1H list from different sources. Quote
