Technicallism Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Don’t talk about UCS supercar 2022 first as it still another 2 years on. But please get remind that TLG does not necessary to follow a UCS supercar in every 2 years trend. It can be every year a new car after all thought if demand is too good. Or even this Lamborghini is the last one in ‘Ultimate’ series because people start get boring??! Quote

All form and poor function turns me off. Arocs was the perfect balance for me. BWE was awesome because it felt pure technic.. these cars? Not so much. Quote
Rudivdk Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) 26 minutes ago, TeamThrifty said: Its technic though... You can also look at Technic as a generic building format / part stack: You can create awesome technical/mechanical structures with it (like BWE), add design and looks to the technical stuff (like Arocs), or focus more on looks and less on technical stuff (like UCS), all with the same set of parts. So there is something of everything in the line-up. In the end, it is customers opinion/taste/preference that will decide whether or not they will like/buy a specific set. Nothing wrong there. 26 minutes ago, TeamThrifty said: awesome because it felt pure technic As I grow older, I start leaning more and more towards the 'pretty' side of Technic. Yes, I do like raw hardcore mechanics, but it has to look good as well. In my MOCs, I'd rather skip 1 or 2 functions for the sake of looks nowadays. So, what is 'Technic'? I think it is a feeling that is different for everyone. And I congratulate TLG on that, because they have made the theme more than just that 'pile of parts'. NB: this is not a rage against @TeamThrifty, I am just expressing my personal opinion in response to another post. Edited January 30, 2020 by Rudivdk Quote
Jaromir Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I totally agree with you Rudivdk, Especially that community which is interested in Lego Technic, is huge and only small % of it is probably building their own mocs. I assume most people (even me) likes to have cool looking model on the shelf and does not care too much on the inside mechanisms in the model. My brother is much older than me and he is collecting Lego Star Wars and he does not like my Technic sets at all, cause in his opinion they don't look good and have a lot of gaps etc. Quote
Technicallism Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Oh my oh my! I just saw the photo of the Volvo hauler... ‘It really about 90% look like 42030 b model But please, don’t ask me share, thanks Quote
Jaromir Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Looking nice, I am waiting for Ducati and Offsprey. Quote
Technicallism Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Honestly it look not bad but I will give it a skip. Still think it has ‘duplicated’ to 42030 B model and I would prefer more different type of vehicle. Quote

LvdH Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Cool. I see multiple new parts for yellow. 3x11 curved panels on the sides of the cab, 3x7 curved on the front (visible on the box), 2x5 mini panels. Set doesn’t really fit my collection but I’m very happy with these new pieces. Quote

Seasider Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 That looks great. Love the detailing on it and big like for Landy arches in a common colour Quote

You mean the black edge? I dont think that would look out of place on any vehicle using this type of arch, id be more upset if they'd printed "VOLVO" or something across them. Quote

1gor Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 since we have separate treads for all 2h sets; @Jim would it be wise to lock this tread not to make double posting in forum (and adding more unnecessary work for you)? Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 As TLG (imaginedly) said, suck it up and deal with it... Quote
Seasider Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 So are pics of the other sets available ? I’m guessing not the Lambo as this will be a special reveal Quote
