allanp Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 It's a wish of their founder, Ole Kirk Christiansen, he didn't want war to be seen as child's play (the only exception is the licensed sets like Star Wars and Indiana Jones) I guess licensed sets are ok because they are only based on fictional stories, not actual wars where millions of people were killed.

Sam42 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 I can't wait for the unimog! it's like my dream technic set! Quote
Tobbe Arnesson Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) There has been some serious war machines that killed lot's made into sets: 10024 Red Baron 3451 Sopwith Camel Presumably the reasoning was that it was an old enough war. But if that's true they could make WWI tanks as well. In 2011 we get the new Ninja-theme with lot's of serious weapons. There's also weapons in the licensed lines like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman and Spider Man. They do not make modern war machines and weapons, which I think is a good thing. LEGO's own themes does not include killing even if almost all feature some sort of major conflict. Edited January 11, 2011 by Tobbe Arnesson Quote

LEGO's own themes does not include killing even if almost all feature some sort of major conflict. That Red Baron set looks pretty cool. I wouldn't mind the Spitfire or Tiger Tank or one of those classic vehicles to be made into sets. I also understand not wanting weapons of destruction to be a part of a child's toy, however... Technic is not for thumb-sucking kids, and current Lego themes pirates, Pharoah, Ninja... etc feature weapons and cannons and stuff. So yeah... I'm just coming from a direction that Technic could use more variety in the types and categories of vehicles that they build. Quote
davidmull Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Anyone know when we might get to see first picturebof the unimog or more details on it's functions,I'm all excited cant for this ;) Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 The toy-fairs are coming up. Since nowadays allmost every (new)mobile-telephone has a 5mb (or more) camera on board i guess we will see pictures soon. Toy Fair 2011, London UK; Jan. 25-27 Spielwaremesse, Nürnberg Germany; Feb. 03-08th American International Toy Fair, New York USA; Feb. 13-16th Quote
allanp Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I'm fairly sure the New York toy fairs at least almost always have the 2h sets on display. I really cannot wait to find out exactly what functions the unimog has, it looks so freaking awesome I can't wait! Quote
locoworks Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 LEGO will never publish a military Technic set (at least not yet). They even do not allow military creations in their Technic gallery. My Merkava tank was immediately deleted. they have made military items, though not 'technic', they produced a couple of WW1 aircraft i think?? a sopwith camel and a fokker triplane they called the 'red baron' , both models displaying their respective military insignias.

locoworks Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Scroll up one page i didn't give pictures chance to load, i read the non military post and thought 'wrong' but they aren't technic which was in the original claim so it was sort of right. i didn't read the previous pages either, have i missed something else??

davidmull Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 This tread is gone way off topic I think admin should clean it up! Anyway my question on 2h2011 is when is the first toy fair and do Lego display the models that are coming out for 2h2011? Quote
