Curiosity rover with 6x power puller wheels?

I doubt the lego group will be reintroducing the power puller wheels.

Curiosity rover with 6x power puller wheels? Curiosity wheels = 50cm diameter, PP wheel ~ 10cm diameter, scale = 1:5

dimensions = 2.9m long, 2.7m wide, 2.2m high, scaled = 58cm long, 54cm wide. 44cm high.

That may actually be a possibility! It would be rather large, and possibly set a new part count record for Technic, but it would definitely be the best Technic set ever!

Sounds like fun, but the wheels cannot be made of rubber, if they mimic the real rover. Has to do with air pressure (if I'm not mistaken) and obviously the weight would be an issue.

But I do like the idea of a rover flagship. Would be awesome.

Imagine what you could do with wheels like those on the rover!

Ha! I have said that already in this topic :).

I must have missed that and yes, the cargo plane provides a bunch of parts to be used.

Maybe the plane is a sign towards a re-issue of the space shuttle?

Would love a re-issue of the space shuttle. New micro motor!

I'm really curious about the b model of the plane!

With that many panels, and a lack of wheel-vehicle parts, TLG really has a chance to rediscover their creative sides!

Hoping for a very clever boat, submarine, or maybe even a space shuttle!:-D

A sailing boat would be cool! But would have to include lots of string, so I'm guessing not...

I'm thinking a boat as well!

Is there any fixed release date for 1h2014 sets?

No pictures or info has leaked yet. That usually happens within the first few days or weeks of the new year. Oh, and welcome to the site

I'd be thinking Jan 1st as always.

Hi, welcome to EB!

We've just seen the first pictures of 1H 2014 sets. Most of the time (especially recent years) the flagship is a 2H set.

Man, I need an excuse to buy more Legos. That snowmobile is cool, and has some parts I've been looking forward to.

I want Lego, what more excuse do you need?

Just a heads up, if you havn't seen the images yet.

Brickshelf user Leiutaja12 has the preliminary pictures uploaded (at least when this was written)

I'm not linking the pictures here as I'm not sure on the policy.

You can create a link to his Brickshelf site. That's no problem.

its basically the same image that we have already seen.

Yup! Same images have been discussed a few pages back.

I know, hence "if you haven't seen the images yet". I didn't remember if anyone actually linked them though.

Discussed in another topic (bit off topic), but Blue seems to be the new Yellow/Red. Five of the sets contain blue.

I guess Lego did listen to our suggestion/wish.

This is good, but still I don't see whole model structures made of blue liftarms of various sizes.

Are we getting 2 new types of steering arm?

1x4

1x5

What set has the new pins in it?

I can't seem to find them.

I think its only 1x4 steering arms, not including the towball part. I guess we'll see which set has the new pins in it two months from now, but I'm 99% sure there are at least a few in the airplane.

I can't see any in the plane,how do we know we are getting a new type of pin.

I am fairly sure however that I am seeing two different size's of steering arms in the snowmobile.

A 2L pin with a 1L axle on could be useful, but I can't spot any such thing anywhere. Guess we'll have to wait for the release or for more pics to come.

Personally I see some interesting and useful parts on the snow mobile.
