Pauger Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I think so,I think there is a gear box on the bottom half for the outriggers,so what else would the forth function be. The bottom left is the only one that isn't related to the crane, and the symbol looks more like an outrigger than slewing. It could just be an access to the gearbox on the chassis. It doesn't really have any reason, but they did something similar on the unimog if i remember correctly. Quote
Porty Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Just to let you know, that new panel is a yellow version of the black one inside the tracks of the starter model for the 31313 Mindstorms EV3 (2013)... Quote
captainmib Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) YEAH BABY! Alright, this is starting to look awesome. And, bad for my wallet... Could the sliding be done with a worm-gear-a-like gear? So, with half of the axle-holding structure inside the gear, so it still grabs the axle, but can slide (you guys all know what i mean, i'm bad at english) The crane is starting to grow on me. I like that it's not completely yellow. 42008 appears to have the same size wheels as the crane? Can someone confirm? Because at first sight it appeared to have the same tires as 8109. edit: you're right porty - 42008 Edited January 30, 2013 by captainmib Quote
bb15080 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) DAMM I have to get this one. it looks good, to good. there goes the savings I want to see more Edited January 30, 2013 by bb15080 Quote

Assuming you mean 42008, I think it indeed has the same wheels as 8109... http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=56145c01 Quote
jantjeuh Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Love that crane, going to get a copy for sure. Just to let you know, that new panel is a yellow version of the black one inside the tracks of the starter model for the 31313 Mindstorms EV3 (2013)... That panel looks useful. Any other sets it has appeared in? Quote
S.I Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I don't have any room for more technic sets, but there is no way I am not going to get that! Quote
Samanen Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 This! I'm speechless - looks like another Technic Icon in the making. On a side note, the 42008 is all green now? I thought it had some red mixed in before? I agree! Personally I'm glad they've changed the colors of the 42008. It looked a little too much "chritmaslike" before in red and green. Quote
shadowhearth Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 So.... When will we get pictures of the rest of the awesome stuff? Quote
matias bendtsen Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) 3x panel 5x11 and 6x new type 3x11 panel Mini LA in outriggers. i wonder how they made the sliding axle in the outriggers? edit: two pages i did not see Edited January 30, 2013 by matias bendtsen Quote
CisFran Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 first phot released i think WOW! It's just the end of january, I can't wait for august! Quote
Lauris Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 From the comments I feel that it's going to be some demand driven repricing of 8053 and 8421 on bricklink... Quote
Pauger Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 3x panel 5x11 More like 6-7x I don't really fance the new 11x3, it's kind of the point of the panels to cover the holes. Quote
David83 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 i wonder how far the boom telescopes?...it only looks halfway out in the pictures....still amazing Quote
davidmull Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hopefully we get a picture of 42008 soon ;) Quote
Porty Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Love that crane, going to get a copy for sure. That panel looks useful. Any other sets it has appeared in? Nope. BTW, I can barely see the 42005 peeking its head in the left corner... Edited January 30, 2013 by Porty Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) The old crankshaft oval piece seems to be back where the LA's meet the boom. Edited January 30, 2013 by Zblj Quote
Ondra Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hopefully we get a picture of 42008 soon ;) And monster truck.http://www1.noz.de/th/bg_large/69246540.jpg Quote
Kronos Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 And monster truck. Yeah, I want a closer look at it too. Quote
jantjeuh Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 i wonder how far the boom telescopes?...it only looks halfway out in the pictures....still amazing You're right, looks like it can go quite a bit further. That thing is absolutely massive.. Move over 8421 and 8053, there's a new king in town! Quote
allanp Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) From how little friction some of the new gears have on their axles (like the 20t bevel gear) I would not be surprised if they just used a normal gear to do the outriggers, it's easy enough to do already. I would expect the slewing function to have some kind of gearing this time round at least to counteract the torque of any drive shafts going through the turn table. And if the red lever by the wheels is a mini gearbox to control the two functions of the outriggers then, due to it's neutral position, there is no need for any of the four functions of the main gearbox to also be the outriggers, leaving one space left for slewing. I am very happy to see that non of the functions appear to be operated from a knob connected right next to the function itself as it adds some sense of realism and complexity to the model. But I'm not 100% sold on it just yet. I'm not sure I need to spend £150 on yet another set that has little more of interest than being slightly bigger and having a gearbox that is mainly just lots of 16t gears. It was spectacular the first time in 8480 but after about 20 more sets of this i'll need to see more pics first, maybe it offers something more but for now I don't see it. As for the rescue truck it does somewhow look better now. Maybe it's just at a different angle but there seems to be less red in it which would be an improvement I think. I don't have the old picture to hand right now to compare but i'm very happy to see that the pneumatic logo is still on the box. This is one I certainly will be getting.

CisFran Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 From the comments I feel that it's going to be some demand driven repricing of 8053 and 8421 on bricklink... MISB 8421 cost around $600-$1k in Bricklink...for sure the price will go down. 42009 is much bigger and better, at much cheaper price! Quote
jorgeopesi Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I love this set, I don´t know yet if I will buy it but sure I will build it. This is a great set for the heavy machinery lovers and Lego sure will attract many children with it. Quote
me00rjb Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Now when I see the picture.... it did not WOWed me at all... Is it me or it looks very damn Bland? *ducks down in fear of incoming stones... I too think something doesn't look quite right - the proportions seem off somehow. Perhaps the colours could be tweaked a little (too much DBG on the chassis?) - still, that's easily done! Looking at the side view, I think the pivot point of the boom is too far forward - compare to where the boom on 8421 is pivoted and you'll see what I mean. The rest of the rotating superstructure therefore looks like it's hanging off the back. I understand why it's been done, to get the required range of motion from an actuator that is in effect too short, however it doesn't look like the typical mobile crane image I have in my mind. I also can't help thinking the studless construction of the boom would look a lot more refined if a few studded technic bricks had been used instead! Still, I can't wait till I can get my hands on a copy or two! I think this compliments 8421 rather than replaces it, so prices will stay high I reckon! Quote
