Lego Technic 2h 2013

[TBS]

I agree, but in some points.I agree that next year probably see next supercar(Three years after last supercar is main reason to think about it) and also probably with new wheels.But I dont think so, it will be motorised.We have there 9398 and this year also technic challenge winner.

I think it will be first half set, but this year we have also car based vehicle .But who knows...

I am not so sure about that.

The last Supercar 8070 has just gone off the shelves and EOL.

It also has been seriously discounted for a longer time, which might have been due to lacking or less than estimated demand. I´ve rarely seen a technic set going at almost 50% below retail in the last 4 years.

So i think there is more time to pass.

What i would really like to see is these in Technic, as Flagships or 42008 size.

Please dont forget to include 15 to 20 Orange 5x11 Panels all along...

A great MOC is this one:

I also consider a cement-mixer something which is unseen and special.

More Blue and White should also be always welcomed by the Technicans, i guess.

What do you think of such Sets?

But Im curious which machine will have that honor and will be wearing new wheels and tyres next year.Motorbike?Motorbikes already have new wheels and tyres.Trucks?I think not, if yes they will already do it this year.Cars?High probability here, same with heavy machinery.

Also there is high probability to see rc flagship next year.

We share the same wish. A big 5-axle concrete truck would be awesome!!!

A garbage truck would also be interesting though.

Hi guys,

Have rediscovered my love of all things Technic recently after more than a 10 year gap. Just couldn't resist the 8258 Crane Truck set, was an absolute blast building.

Looking at the sets in this thread and am I'm very interested in 42009 MkII Crane. Just have a couple of questions:

1) Are Lego Technic sets made available to pre-order, and if so where is best to do so?

2) Secondly, approx what kind of time do they become available to pre-order (if indeed they do) based on previous August released sets?

All and any info is muchly appretiated and I am proper excited to be back in game!!!

As far as I know, no, and never. I've never encountered lego sets being up for preorder.

[JunkstyleGio]

Pre-ordering is sometimes possible with certain webshops..

Delivering will be on the first (plus a few for sending) day of release then.

[Rishab N]

Well this topic has been quiet for some time now

I just noticed but does it seem like this model of the 42009 has a higher ground clearance than the botom one?

[Jim]

I don't think the clearance is different. It might look that way because of the difference in pictures size or viewing angle.

Hmmm... these are interesting comparsion pictures. We already noticed differences, but this is a very good example to see how much the turrets differ. Just check the back part - as argued there are missing panels, but i just realised first, that the booms (lifting arms) have also completely different built-up structure. I am really curious how the final design will look like.

One is sure: if i buy one, there can be made a lot of improvement.

[davidmull]

There one thing for sure, this model looks way better with the stickers on. Looks very plain without them.

[Lakop]

A cement mixer would be a challenging build. Looking forward to the new sets. I'm torn between the crane and the tow truck.

A bit off topic:

I've noticed that they have cleverly avoided friction in the boom by using wheels for the extension to roll on. I got tempted to try it out myself, and just wondered what are the smallest wheels to have a pin/axle mounting?

Edit: This perhaps?

Couple of (maybe) new pictures, they are big, so i just put the links here:

Thanks for the new pics very nice,42008 looks great :)

[Rishab N]

wow the 42009 boom looks huge!

it doesnt look like it can carry much weight

Is it me or do you guys think the outriggers should be longer?

You can use this tire with 1/2 technic bush. 1/2 bushes can be use as rims with this tires.

[davidmull]

Very quiet topic lately! Has anyone seen or heard new information on these sets?

[Alasdair Ryan]

Try looking at the other one....

[skylinedan]

Yeah, but this one was more fun, LOL.

It looks to me like the wheels on the new mobile crane are the same ones used on the Unimog - are they? I get my tires and wheels confused all the time...

I don't think so. If you look closely, the rims seem to have a "4185 Dark Bluish Gray Technic Wedge Belt Wheel (Pulley)" on the outside, likely put on the end of the axle the rims are on.

If the tires were Unimog tires, the space between this part and the edge of the rims and tires would have been bigger. I think the tires are smaller, maybe the same tires that's on the 9397 Logging Truck, which is 62.4 / 20.9. The rims look different, so they might be new, but I think the tires are the same.

Parts list on rebrickable.

[N-4K0]

I keep forgetting that I can just check that list... well, so the tires are 62.4 x 20, about the size of the Logging Truck tires.
