Is it so hard to make a tilted steering wheel?

I'll admit it; it's easier for those of us whose preferred machines use joysticks and control panels...

I assume that includes HOTAS Jets, so yeah!

I’m liking the tracked B model more and more

I still don't understand what is going on inside the cabin! I see a lot of beams, but can't distinguish seats.

Also what is the gray disc between the steering wheel and yellow gear?

The steering wheel is placed vertically in neutral position.

New parts? 3x1 Connector in white? 1x1 in grey?

[Jim]

Technic sets confirmed for review! Nine sets in total, so I need to come up with a battle plan.

[Seasider]

Isn’t that just a 63869 perpendicular connector on the left?

good news @Jim Can you add a competition into those plans? My Lego building brain is itching ... so much so I’m drawing up plans for a pit lane for my Speed Champions cars ... but I could do with a new Technic challenge

Are the sets releasing on December 1st?

[Seasider]

I thought they’re Jan 1st release normally. There’s nothing on the Lego website for them yet and the 1st is this Saturday.

I will be the first to admit the cockpit of the Porchse does appear to be abit of a mess. In all fairness though it is hard to realize a 3D environment with a single photograph, that and it is Technic on a rather small scale. Not trying to defend the finished product but how many would have complained if they had made a highly detailed cockpit using system bricks and stickers.

Who knows?! They will probably be on sale by the time I publish my reviews 

I don't have this kind of information. I only know that the sets will be available for review.

When will you receive the parcel with 9 sets inside? ?

Seems like that's how it's been lately, kind of a bummer, buying sets before reviewers are even able to publish their reviews. Regardless I still enjoy reading the quality reviews you publish, thank you for that. 

[1gor]

@Jim that is really good news. I'm looking forward to read your reviews (and to have better set images) and to see new parts

There is an embargo date, but I am not sure whether I can share the date.

Take a looong nap until the package arrives and refill the coffee stocks at home

I will never understand the meaning of this connector.

Aesthetics. I really like it.

It’s useful as a spacer between liftarms.

@Jim so have you decided what order to build in? Biggest first, smallest first, or just favourite?

[Yevhen]

Guys, don't bother Jim, otherwise he doesn't have enough time to review the new sets! ?

A better looking spacer indeed.

I will probably have some help building the smaller sets, so some building will be done simultaneously. I will probably focus on the Porsche to be the main/first review. I need to look into other formats for the smallers sets. Pullbacks probably just some pics and a summary.
