suffocation Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 A 4k part set is always gonna be hewge, unless you build a box full of half-bushes or your nickname is Sheo. Quote
Technicallism Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 4 hours ago, SNIPE said: 4k parts does not always mean a huge model. Agree, I have the same thought. Remember last year when 42082 has it first image, many people said the set does not look like having 4000 pieces. It’s all up to the designer that how sophisticated the gearbox section to be. And yet, size of the model can be big with very low piece count. Quote

The preliminary pictures of 42082 had no meter of comparison, so an untrained eye could be easily deceived. This video, on the other hand, shows how 42055, 42082 and 42100 are all quite close in size, with 42082 clearly being the densest build. Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I find it a little disappointing about the price range and the smartphone-only compatibility of the new large sets. I like them (and love the new parts!) but they are too large and expensive. Maybe in the future LEGO will release the new parts in smaller sets,. Quote

Lol... apart from not being red and no scissor doors (which can be a fake leak anyway) I don't think TLG has interest in making a supercar from a 18 year old movie that only had a minor role in it.

Yeah, unless it's making a prominent return in next year's movie then I don't really see how the leak could be possible. That being said if it turns out to be true I'll eat my words. Quote

Most licensed Technic sets have depicted very modern vehicles. I don't expect them to make al classic car at this point, especially for a model without a direct successor and an automaker that TLC has never worked with. However, they sort of have a precedent with the Creator 007 Aston Martin of releasing a car with both a manufacturer and a movie license, so I don't see that part as much of a strech. The double license can also bring fans from both properties to the set. But, as always, don't forget the grain of salt. Quote
Vectormatic Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 LOL, going from the most hardcore roadcar porsche offers (at the time anyway), to the pinacle of cars that is the Chiron, and now a riced out FWD mistubishi from 25 years ago. I could see them doing a car like that for a succesor to the ZR1, but no way is that thing worth a 4000 part set. On the other hand, lego's infinite looping around shifting gearboxes would finally make sense Quote

Lol. @kbalage really like your high quality video reviews because you always come up with thoughts I can fully agree with. The new one about the 3 Technic beasts is no exception. To be honest I miss such reviews when (real LEGO) models in the same category are compared at the end. Back in the good old days, when Balkbird had all the Technic models from the past, he could do such kind of thing but I know how space consumer is to keep built the official models and probably most of them just reused in different MOCs. I've just planned to add these biggest Technic models into my collection gallery and now I can see how they will look next to each other. Thanks. Edited October 10, 2019 by Interceptor Quote

LvdH Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Hmm... doesn’t exactly scream “Ultimate” to me. I’ve been thinking, maybe it’s the Top Gear car? Quote
kuja2015 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 What if the only reliable part of the leak is that is a Fast and Furious movie car? Gathering all the information till now we get: F&F, red car, scissor/ wing doors. All this equals Lykan HyperSport Quote

No disrespect to the "source", but I find this very hard to believe. It is a relatively unknown car from a not-so-recent movie, which is not really good looking (in my opinion). But we have seen Technic sets from the tuning scene before, so you can't completely rule it out: Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 If that is true, that car will be a day-one must-skip. Quote
