August 2, 20222 yr I watched this one as well but I guess I can't say I saw what you saw. He pretty much just covered the points already discussed in other reviews (sagging rear and play in rotor head). The points about perhaps some motorized functions not working that well due to gearbox friction almost becomes a moot point because in the "final words" at the end of the video he praises how well the motorized functions work. So.... not sure what you are seeing in this review...

Hmm, I wonder where he got that "night shot" photo... [edit] Also the one at 1:43, which "unexplainably" has no stickers. Edited August 2, 20222 yr by AVCampos Origins of another photo
August 2, 20222 yr No new information in that review, and it appears that the maker just stole content from other reviewers. In addition to the "night shot" photo, the the text about the neon yellow also seemed familiar, apparently taken from some other review (I'm not sure which though).

From New Elementary, the same place those two photos were taken from: https://www.newelementary.com/2022/07/lego-technic-review-42145-airbus-h175.html Quote On the other hand, not everyone will like yet another colour in LEGO Technic, especially one as "loud" as neon yellow.

Same here. Additionally, I read New Elementary's reviews for their great insight on new parts and building techniques. I also generally prefer text+photos over a video but since Jim isn't doing reviews anymore, there aren't many good ones around...

I would love to get it, but I got the Galaxy Explorer, so I don't know if I should get a second pricey one this year.
August 3, 20222 yr Building this model is going to be so much fun. But i really don't like the neon-yellow parts. So I will exchange them for white parts.. I "greebled" the missing new parts in the stud.io file from @Ngoc Nguyen I'm sure I going to like this set as much as I like 9396...

August 3, 20222 yr Perhaps because replacing white and neon yellow for regular yellow would make it too similar to the 9696?

And I really don't see the problem others are having with white. Even took a look at my UCS SW Imperial Shuttle the other day... I see no problems with it Now a 10+ year old set...
August 3, 20222 yr Ok, just got back from the Lego store with the “Choppa” and an impulse buy Camaro. My weekend is set, lol.

August 4, 20222 yr I quite like the white/red with the neon yellow deleted! I don't mind the all yellow either especially if a bit more black was added into it (maybe around the tail area), all red with black could look good too. Some combination of DBG/LBG/Black could also look cool if you wanted a more stealth type helicopter. 2 hours ago, Ngoc Nguyen said: Black, Medium Blue (42066), Dark Azure (42070) also work. I highly doubt dark azure would work given the limited colour palette... It's annoying how we now have more connectors available in neon yellow than dark azure... and the dark azure colour has been out for wayyy longer.

August 4, 20222 yr Just replacing the neon yellow with white seems to work wonders. I think I'll do that with mine.
August 4, 20222 yr In the meanwhile, those of you that hate neon yellow can send the parts over to me: that'll help convince me to make a Technic M:Tron MOC.
