Having a 3rd midiscale (hopefully something the size of @Thirdwigg‘s model) would be a good addition. Star Wars sets work in lots of sizes eg the Falcon, Slave 1 etc Who's moaning? I personally like another Porsche in Lego Quote

Seasider Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 I thought I’d heard that the “ucs” Porsche was stopping this Christmas Quote

They have the Mercedes licence as we’ve had the Unimog and Arcos in the Technic series and there’s the AMG GT3 in the Speed Champions series already Quote

We have never received a catalogue before December, and while there have been blacked out images before it's only been the case for a few sets that are either UCS or haven't been finalized yet. Most stores selling Lego have a "subscription" of a certain level, where the different levels mean you have a predetermined amount of what sets your store will be getting at the time new waves are released. We can't control what we'll get at the start of next year as that is decided by us having subscription level X, although we can put in an order on the B2B shop for pretty much whatever we want but we'll still get the order with all the new stuff our agreement calls for. What I'm trying to get at is that for most clients TLG don't have to show off and sell in their new products as the stores will receive an order matching their subscription level no matter what (unless they say they don't want to sell Lego anymore). Therefore TLG doesn't have the same need to show off their products beforehand as many other suppliers typically do, then again showing new products is always a good idea and can (and will) lead to a lot of hype in the community, for better or worse. We have just short of 200 different suppliers for our store and none of them work the same way TLG does, and I don't mean that in a bad way, TLG are by far one of our better suppliers both in regards to the money we make and how smooth everything runs with them. Kids will get whatever just because it's new when it comes to Lego, they don't give a damn if they've seen it a couple months before in a grainy image or not, all the hype is centered in and around the AFOL community and sometimes hype is a good thing and sometimes it's less good, ultimately depends on the product and how mad the hype has been.

They're not really greyed out silhouttes of the sets, they're just a black box with the text "CONFIDENTIAL" across them, not as much fun as you'd think. There are however usually info about the set such as piece count and size of the box, which it at least something. Quote

Pretty sure the price for collaboration is set during the negotiations if the company agrees to lend its name for a set. Anyway, I really hope that TLG strays away from branding sets left and right. May be 1 major set with brand per year is fine. But more is really not necessary and pointless (imho). Edited October 19, 2018 by gate Quote

I believe licensed sets are more expensive because they are popular and the demand for them is high. Meaning, the profit margins are higher than for other LEGO Technic sets or they can afford to spend that little bit extra on the development of the sets since the market is ready to pay the price. I feel the licensed sets in general rank high in the quality spectra of LEGO Technic sets. Edited October 20, 2018 by zoo Quote

AVCampos Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 You can take a look at Vernie from the Boost set for inspiration. Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Alternately, you could take a look at 8277 from 1997 as well... Anyway! 2019! Tracked Loader! 8043-B style or 42032/8418 style? Your thoughts! Edited October 31, 2018 by Maaboo35 Quote

Tracked Loader! 8043-B style or 42032/8418 style? Your thoughts! With this amount of parts it should be quite detailed. I think it can be closer to 8043-B style rather than 42032/8418. But I realy count on 42095 Remote-Controlled Stunt Racer. For a couple years we did no have model with servo mothor. I hope for this set to be the cheap source of motors, servo ideally, and the fun of course! The piece count is very similar to the 42065, but the price is 20$ more, so maybe? :) Quote
1gor Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 I think it will be similar to 42028 size... Quote
