letsbuild Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 An RSR would be nice to have, especially at the lower price point shown here. Quote

No one told us, that this set will be large as 42039, 42000, 8070 and 42077. We've been surpised this year already with Mack, that use 49 mm wheels instead usual 62 mm (I was the one who was sure that Mack is new truck as previous trucks with 62 mm) So 1580 parts is not that bad. If this porsche will be at 62 mm wheel or 56 mm. May be wew will see a lot of non-technic elements on both Corvette and 911 for better scale look, again look at the Mack. This could be done that way. I have forgotten already about Mack discussion... Quote
tohan Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 I'm hoping the "42094 Tracked Loader" will be a nod to the 856 Bulldozer from 1979 which actually was a Tracked Loader. This was my second Technic set and was a marvel. Quote

Cardboy Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) The corvette would that not be a new licence agreement? It's not a brand of the Volvo or VW group who Lego have been partnered with. I would push for your first collaboration to be a flagship set for brand prestige? I like my Technic cars but I hope that RSR is distinctive from the GT3 as 911 range quite subtle and this hard to do in Technic. At this price point can it be a cost effective alternative to the GT3? I would not be surprised if these two sets could be swapped over. Edited September 19, 2018 by Cardboy Quote

No, TLG already has a collaboration with GM in Speed Champions, in the 75870 and the 75874. Quote

You are correct. We usually get the 2019 catalog around mid december, hoping we will this year too. We have never gotten a catalog or other type of preview for just 1H sets before, we only get the catalog with both 1H and 2H just before 1H sets are released. Quote

I hope that you'll get your catalog as you plan, it is in some 2 and a half month time, so I hope around Christmas to see if there is something new that is worthy to be bought IMHO for my future mocs...

As I've said earlier in this topic (or maybe it was another topic) I won't be sharing any images this year, but you can bet others will. Last year someone scanned the entire catalog and uploaded it as a pdf if I recall correctly. Quote

Unfortunately there was nothing special new in terms of new parts IMHO, but sets look relatively good. You probably got the picture from my previous posts that only thing that interests me are new tractor tires, but as I mentioned in other topic I doubt that we will have some other dimension than 107 X 44... Sorry for disappointment in other EB members... I'll wait until first images appear somehow in mid of December Regards Quote
Kaanere Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Not exactly Technic, but it's based on Technic elements anyway: There's a new experimental theme (?), Lego FORMA: https://brickset.com/article/38738/lego-forma-unveiled! Apparently it's testing new forms of releasing sets and themes though crowdfunding... or something like that. Edited September 27, 2018 by Kaanere Quote

That was a shop that uploaded the catalog to the website and isn't a source of catalogs after that anymore. Quote

Cumulonimbus Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Not sure if this is the correct place for this news, but it is made from Technic parts and it will be shipped in 2019, so here it is: the 81000 Koi Model set: It is part of a new scheme called LEGO Forma, as they describe it: " LEGO FORMA is a premium LEGO experience designed for adults looking for a fun, engaging way to reconnect with their creative side. LEGO FORMA mechanical models are cleverly designed but simple to assemble. Sturdy rods and parts combine with customizable skins to create a joyful creative challenge. Taking design cues from nature, LEGO FORMA incorporates life-like movement, colors, and patterns. The result is an elegant conversation piece that's a tasteful addition to any room. For more information visit: https://lego.build/FORMA " Lego Forma on Youtube I really like this, but unfortunately it will only be available for UK and US customers for some incomprehensible reason. You can just see this set emerge on the second hand market for ridiculous prices (end of rant). Since it is explicitly aimed at AFOLs, I sure hope this AFOL will get the chance to buy this wonderful set. Edited September 27, 2018 by Cumulonimbus Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I don't see the appeal of this as it stands, and I'm not entirely sure where TLG is coming from here. Lego for adults? Think I have a name for that... It'll likely depend on what they do next. It might be interesting to see what animals or natural things are going to crop up in the future. Maybe an otter? Quote
Seasider Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Just watched the Forma video on YouTube. Looks interesting, it’s a kinetic sculpture with Technic at its heart and then a clip on cover. So where on this forum should this end up? Here or with the buildable figures? Quote

Perhaps build able figures is the closest... Quote
