therealjustin Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Hopefully not Land Rover green indeed, or even bright green really. Lime green or nothing! Quote
Jaromir Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 @Dylan M Is there any chance, you could get more details about the models from your "Friend"? Quote
Vectormatic Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) @therealjustin bright green is 42039 right? That would be pretty bad on a lambo, or even any supercar. Ideally speaking, yeah, lime green that sucker! Edited January 31, 2020 by vectormatic Quote

And if we will ge frame 13 x 15 in black, maybe in the 42115 lambo, since the 7x11 and 9x5 frames come in black already :DDD New differential is not very good for mechnical "hand rolling" models, because of 28:12 gearing. In some situations transmission can be stressed or damaged. Quote

In some situations transmission can be stressed or damaged. I think it's fine. Remember sets like 8868 and 8865 used a 28:14 gearing on their differentials, this new diff is much stronger and I actually prefer the slightly faster engine speeds you get from that (8868 had a further 3:1 up gearing so the engine was nice and fast!). If there are issues then the issue is coming from the gearbox, not the diff. Quote

Not my first pick from the range, but ill happily take it if its done well (on that note, if they do a charger, i wonder if its hard to colour swap it to the general lee) Dom's charger would be perfect for me as it should be in black with silver ascents and should be next to no stickers Quote

I am curious about the scale, though. For 99€, it should be in between the 42093 and 42096. Even if it sounds a bit strange at first, maybe these could be used as the rear tires (from the new batmobile) while having smaller front tires (from Arocs). Quote
Gzynek2323 Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Really hope your 'Friend' is right and if they remember more, don't be shy to let us know:) Quote

1gor Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Could be Plymouth barracuda black car from fast and furious? Quote

Then like 42077, except the dual licence costs may eat into piece count Quote

My local dealer discribed it as "a classic american car, it looks like a big black rectangle but awesome." He never saw the movie though.. And since he was spot on with the liebherr i kinda trust this info. Quote
Gzynek2323 Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Seems we are getting more and more clarity about F&F set. When is it time for a dedicated topic? Quote

If there are issues then the issue is coming from the gearbox, not the diff. that old sets was from another era, where models was not strong as today. there was no closed differential frames in that models, sooner brick built frame will be broken that gears Still don't see the reason of moving from old differential to new version. Old still good for mechanical models, new for RC Quote
MarkyMark42 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 As a motoring guy and one who's lego basically sits on a shelf after building, I'm very much looking forward to the Lamborghini and Ducati. Much more than bank account any way :) Quote
Gzynek2323 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Lambo is a must for me. Can not pass 3rd in line of UCS. Other H2 sets, I'll need to see some expert reviews before making a decision. Quote
Jaromir Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 That's actually quite interesting that we have so many licensed sets in one wave. Ducatti motorbike, Volvo hauler, Fast&Furious car, Lamborghini, not sure about the Osprey, is it actually licensed set. I am pretty sure that this never happened before. And why there is only leak of a one set. Quote

Gzynek2323 Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Maybe Lego strategy to expand fan base by aligning with well known brands Quote
Jim Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Isn't licensing what LEGO (Technic) is all about these days?! Quote
