Ngoc Nguyen Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) From promobricks.de: LEGO Technic goes Ultimate Collector Series! With the BMW M 1000 RR, another LEGO Technic set will appear in March, which is clearly aimed at adults. The motorcycle is built on a scale of 1: 5 and not only stands on a small stand , but also includes a data sheet, as LEGO collectors know from the Star Wars theme world. The machine is white and has a wild pattern of blue and red accents. The set consists of 1922 parts and will cost 199.99 euros. Set number: 42130 Designation: BMW M1000 RR K66 Number of parts: 1922 Release date: March 01, 2022 Availability: LEGO Recommended age: 18+ RRP: 199.99 euros Go nuts!!!!!!

Gumalca Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 So this means either a more realistic gear shift mechanism than the Ducati Panigale had, or no gear box at all like other Technic 18+ sets. Quote
Bartybum Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) I couldn't care less about the onslaught of the Corvette scale cars, so this one has definitely caught my attention... 1:5 scale would put it at a little over 40cm length, which makes it about 10cm longer than the Ducati. Also, I'm curious whether this means it'll have larger wheels and tyres too, or whether we'll see new large springs. I think at this piece count and price, a gearbox would be all but guaranteed.

It has to have new bigger tires since the largest motorcycle wheels from the last BMW are 100.6mm with 75mm rims and 1:5 scale would mean 130.4mm rear and 120mm front tires. That is huge! Quote

syclone Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) What a monster this will be size-wise A bit dissapointing it's not in-scale with neither the UCS supercars nor the Ducatti though, but if this means it'll have a more complex mechanics, would be great. Maybe functional brakes? Plenty of space for it, albeit they'd need something similar to the flex cables.... 6 minutes ago, Ngoc Nguyen said: How did you get those numbers?

If the scale is true this thing is gonna be massive The large tractor tire is only 107mm in diameter. This set will have wheels bigger than the tractor tire!

Gray Gear Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Interesting! I hope we'll get some nice new pieces apart from the wheels. But I can alredy see the GBC guys using them in very cool ways. A bit weird to up the scale as it will no longer fit with the other bikes. I guess main the goal was to make a bigger, more expensive Model that is supposed to be displayed alone. Or maybe there will be more in the future... They better use a solid brick for the wind shield this time, It is going to be a UCS after all. But I wouldn't be suprised if they just do the Kinder suprise egg plastic again like with the Ducati. We'll see. Quote
syclone Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Assuming the info is correct in regards of scale, here's more or less how it will look like side-by side with Sian: Quote
Akbalder Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 I hope that it will be real collector model. Not just an empty shell as the Ferrari. Quote
kbalage Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Wow. Those rims & tires won't be cheap to produce for sure, TLG really should have some long term plans with huge builds. Quote

Those rims & tires won't be cheap to produce for sure, TLG really should have some long term plans with huge builds. Don't worry about production costs. The molds in China cost 1/5th to produce there so even if they are used just for this set (e.g. CMF), it's still a no brainer. Quote
nerdsforprez Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Wow.... this was unexpected. At least for me. I think this is new and excited. Will pay attention to this with anticipation... Quote

They will use new rims an tires in next UCS motorcykles :) Quote

Look at how many times the Supercar wheels have been reused. Exactly, never. And that's how it should be. If you pay 200 bones for a bike you can expect special wheels that recreate the real ones.

MajklSpajkl Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) I hope they introduce front mudguards too. It would be just weird at that size not to have the front mudguard. But probably better to keep our expectations low... Edited October 10, 2021 by MajklSpajkl Quote

I respectfully disagree (regardless of any contractual obligations TLC may have). Wheels being reused in a future set doesn't diminish their debut appearance Unless you meant that an expensive licensed vehicle requires special wheels, which I definitely agree with Edited October 10, 2021 by Bartybum Quote
piterx Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 can't wait for the new big wheels :D Rc bikes will be a lot of fun for a while! Quote

Of course wheels don't look worse on the vehicle they were made for only because they will be reused later. But if there is a second UCS Superbike coming, it will for sure have custom wheels again, because on that second bike they will look off. Nobody would have liked the Chiron better with wheels form the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Quote

Zerobricks Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 This might be a good set to introduce long, hard shock absorbers in the front! I also think we might need bigger pistons and engine blocks at this scale. Quote
