I get the set in exchange for my valuable time, so I wouldn't call it for free It's called "Quid pro quo" ...So, it means that the Package has already arrived? And most of Us is Waiting for your great Review, I hope you have alot of FREE TIME to exchange with.... Quote
Rudivdk Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Slightly OT since it is about 2018 set but about sticker colors: on my 42082 crane (got it last week), the red on the stickers is also off compared to the red of the ABS parts. Sticker red is much too dark. It's even visible in box art and instruction manuals photo's. So it seems problem is not just on the new Porsche but on current production line, and apparently TLG don't mind that much... Edited December 13, 2018 by Rudivdk Added comment about box art and manual. Edit2: typos Quote
AVCampos Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Personally, the set I'm most looking forward to see reviewed is the 42095, especially the new sprocket element. Quote

And I am working on the other sets and written part of the review(s). To curb your enthusiasm....the reviews will be less elaborate as other reviews. Of course, they will all contain enough pictures and a summary with my thoughts (pros and cons) Quote

This would be a serious issue to me (if I would buy) - not to mention, how much better it looks without stickers. But at least we have the first plain white sticker :) Anyway I think the stickers are a must for such a set, race cars usually have plenty of them. The white being different is a shame though.. Quote

Are there any consequences if you don't write a review for each set you receive? Do you have to agree to terms and conditions in a contract or is it more a gentleman's agreement based on trust?

There is no official agreement, but TLG keeps track of the reports. When I fail to "deliver", Eurobricks will be removed from the Technic review list. And this goes for other themes as well. You can call it a Gentlemen's Agreement. 30 minutes ago, Ngoc Nguyen said: There is one set that is like that *wink wink*, but I guess Jim wouldn't be too happy if I mention it again (Jim please don't take this seriously I dont mean any blame) That's a WIP.....here's proof of that....

Jim Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Do we have list with part counts? And maybe the RRP (price) per set? (of all the 1H 2019 sets) Quote

1gor Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 But still missing building instructions on 42088, 42093, 42094, 42095 and 42096 ? Quote
Zerobricks Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Seeing now that we have 2 different wheel arches sizes, is it safe to contemplate the next supercar might use different sized wheels in front and back? Quote

I have just seen the new ones. They are way too small to be combined with the other ones (as a front and back pair). Quote

Jim Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Hehe The embargo is lifted Sunday (16th). Hopefully I can get five or six reviews online. Quote
Vectormatic Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Thanks Jim, ill be sure to check back in two days Quote
Jim Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 To be precise... EMBARGO 16.12.2018 – 11.00 AM CET Quote
