2024 Technic Sets Discussion

[R0Sch]

This one is really ugly. Sticker colors don't match as well, obviously.

Nice use of those new micro-pistons, though.

Too bad a unicorn had to throw up inside and mess it all up. A 10+ set with just 800 pieces and you need this amount of color coding? How dumb does TLG think kids are?

And sorry but, a six spoke wheel at the front and an ugly 5 spoke sticker for the rear is just a slap in the face.

Those front wheel arch panels look rad.

Also can the lunar rover fold up?!?

You're not going to get any sympathy from me on that issue, I'm afraid. I like color coding in Technic and think kids are smart enough to recognize something helpful for what it is instead of having a tantrum about it.

Looks like it, yeah.  seats fold flat and then the suspension folds over top.

 

Front wheel arches on the Koenigsegg are a 3x9 version of the 3x13 curved panel?  Hey, at least it has a functional differential again.

If it’s bringing back the ultra rare DBG #1&2 panels from the cancelled osprey then I don’t care how ugly it is. 

[LvdH]

Nice bunch of recolors in the Jesko. Hope the white one isn’t cancelled.

[R0Sch]

Btw, the Moon Rover is compatible with the CREATOR 3-in-1 31152 Astronaut. I find that pretty cool.

Yeah, love the color scheme and the new wheels and mudguards. And look at this! B-Models!
 

I can't see any B-models dude.

[Jockos]

Nice to see the Jesko has an opening back.

Now that is an awesome 'hidden' feature! If only there were more compatibilities...

Sorry. It was more of a joke. The transformation, separation to modules and the 4 UCS plaques is the alternative model.

Well I guess it's "compatible" with other UCS type sets especially the Icons space sets like Shuttle, Artemis, etc.

Yes, but actually I meant the same scale of the vehicle to the figure. Or vice versa.

You could place any of the buildable figures in the seats if that's what you mean. The vehicle is too large for anything else to fit scale-wise.

[PlopiNinetySix]

For 42175 I was expecting something bigger tbh, but I really, really like how the whole thing looks. Lego really captured Volvo's style for the truck. :)

Any news on the G wagon or the Mclaren Super car?

I think they're August releases.

Yup. Lots of news. We are discussing it in a super secret forum

The Supercars have been the August release. But they used to get leaked around this time of the year since they are Lego (websites and stores) exclusives and have been available from June 1. However, if we look at the recent leaked info's provided by Jim it's wider August release is pushed back to September? Maybe that's why the news/stuffs are coming a bit later.

Cannot tell about G500 4x4.

And the Jesco is not ugly, but it subjectively is
