The whole main machine just doesn't look big or dense enough to reach 4000 pieces. Is it possible the grey 2x4 bricks in the picture are merely set dressing to show the average person that yes, this is actually Lego? There's plenty of room for 4000 pieces if 2500 are black pins...

Lh_Dredger Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) yes there are some technic bricks in the bucket. But not that much, like 15-20 pieces. I just see it later, after the picture was new relinkt. we just can hope that there are not that much useless pieces just for some „load“ in the bucket... Edited April 14, 2019 by Lh_Dredger Quote
gvo25 Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) I don't know if it already had been mentioned here, but those LA look like it's a new mold/design, and not just an extension of the current LA's, also the tracks have the new big sprocket wheels, all good things to modify cranes and track bases, just enough to modify the booms of 42009 and 42082 and to modify the tracks of 42042, the last 2 LA's I can use to modify 8043. That liebherr excavator is reallyu a must buy for 2 boxes. I can hardly wait Edited April 14, 2019 by gvo25 Quote

mpj Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 The new LA's looks to be 17 studs long full retracted, including brackets. The current LA's are 13 studs retracted - 18 extended. I suppose the new LA's will be 24 studs when extended. Quote

coinoperator Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 I must say that all these bigger, longer, larger parts is an interesting development... What giant sets can we expect in the future? Quote

coinoperator Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Bigger motors like that new spike thing Quote

What giant sets can we expect in the future? We still lack many medium parts like flat triangle panels. And I don't think it makes sense to create any parts longer than 15 studs. After all they must be stiff enough! Quote

Argee at 100%, the bigger parts requires much more additional triangle structures to support them that results in bigger parts count and so on... Quote
jorgeopesi Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I agre, this machine is in the limit of playability, we will see if it is too big to have a reasonable movement in the arm, the tracks will not be a problem the real machine is very slow. Quote
