Shasat Spacerider Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Considiring these sets are going to be here for the first half, they're pretty cool. However the f1 racer with no suspension will be a let down but I figure that is too much to ask for a 1h set. The handler may be cool. It looks compact and maybe as dense as 8043 (lots of gears!). No suspension... This is not new. But a letdown? Think about it: according to Cweqto, it includes one of the rarest tyres LEGO has produced. Yes, the ones you need to build Nathanael Kuipers's Supercar. Quote

Yah, when it comes out, you can buy a hundred of them from the LEGO company. But I am not dead because it has no suspension, I wouldn't expect it to have suspension. Quote

By the way, am I the only one who has not seen pictures for any of 2013 sets? Quote

efferman Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) the german webshop "Technicminds" has listed the first half year sets. all sets ar not available yet 14,99€ hovercraft 19,99€ Wheel loader action racecar action Racebuggy 29,99€ Motocross bike it has a great offroad pattern on the tires 59,99 material handler with a scrapclaw like this only a little bit smaller 99,99€ Formula racecar it seems that it has tires similar to 81,6x34ZR on the actual 44772 rims from 9398. and it seems that it uses this parts for suspension on the front axle.

Cwetqo Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) If I remember correctly those "racers" use winding motors and coud barely be called technic. This is realy stuf targeted exclusivly to KFOL and should IMO be moved to Racers theme. Edit: I am surprised by high price of grand prix races. It look more of a 79,99 euro set to me. It better have lots of parts, since it dont have any power functions, gearbox and interesting panels. Chopper is 1100pcs and 90euro, ADAC truck is also 1100pcs and PF and is 100 euro. According to this Grand prix racer should contain around 1300 pcs. Edited September 13, 2012 by Cwetqo Quote
kou Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) A 57cm racer without suspension is just not right, I can't imagine how "empty" the F1's body is. The leaked pictures probably does not show all the function. Edited September 13, 2012 by kou Quote
Ondra Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 This 1half doesnt seem interesting for me.Especially If there, isnt complex set with power function. I hope 2half will be better. Quote
Meatman Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Were there new pictures? I don't see any. Hello, the Racer has 48cm... Was there an error in the leaked picture that claimed it was 57cm? Quote
efferman Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) there is a nda on the pictures so it is not legal to make them public. maybe the size measurement is a way to show lego where is the leak Edited September 13, 2012 by efferman Quote
Meatman Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 So the Grand Prix Racer is the spring set for 2013? Quote
efferman Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) as far as i know all of these sets will be released till march 2013. most of them in january Edited September 13, 2012 by efferman Quote
Meatman Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I see the date on the Racer says Feb instead of Jan, that is why I was asking if it was the spring set like the logging truck and the supercar. there is a nda on the pictures so it is not legal to make them public. maybe the size measurement is a way to show lego where is the leak Those fuzzy pics from last week. Brickipedia has a picture of it. Quote
Technicminds Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I have better pictures of all sets ... the 57cm seem to agree Quote
efferman Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 i have asked my source what could be the 480mm height: 94 width: 378 length: 480 seems to be the size of the box. Quote
cookieyh Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Any news about the flagship set of 2013? Thanks in advance! i have asked my source what could be the 480mm height: 94 width: 378 length: 480 seems to be the size of the box. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Any news about the flagship set of 2013? Thanks in advance! No still to early yet. But you could say that the F1 car is the first half flagship set. Quote
jadedomg Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I am excited for the F1 car because it is new to me as I don't have a technic F1 car and the parts should be different from what I have. The claw machine should be interesting as well. Quote
z3_2drive Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 lot of hype over the cross tires...why? good pattern that looks realistic? Quote
sama Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) I have better pictures of all sets ... the 57cm seem to agree Wai, wai, wai, wait! You have the pictures?! Could you send them to me through PM? Edited September 14, 2012 by sama Quote
Cwetqo Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 lot of hype over the cross tires...why? good pattern that looks realistic? Yes, something like this: Quote
