January 22, 201411 yr Technic Three sets to be released in the summer: a bulldozer, a 4WD pickup truck and a Volvo-licensed remote-controlled trench digger.
January 22, 201411 yr Perhaps this would be better here: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=85899 Edited January 22, 201411 yr by Blakbird : Merged.
January 22, 201411 yr A giant Volvo chainsaw on tracks? RC and pneumatic I hope. Any picture of a Volvo trencher? I can't find one. Edited January 22, 201411 yr by aol000xw
January 22, 201411 yr I can't tell if the pick up truck is 4WD or not.. The front wheels have the center snaps from the 42000 hubs in them and might have new steering arms or the ones from the 8070...
January 22, 201411 yr A giant Volvo chainsaw on tracks? RC and pneumatic I hope. Any picture of a Volvo trencher? I can't find one. Volvo makes no such machine. The Volvo machine we will be getting is a wheel loader. I can't tell if the pick up truck is 4WD or not.. The front wheels have the center snaps from the 42000 hubs in them and might have new steering arms or the ones from the 8070... How can you tell? Have you seen a better picture, or are you at the fair?
January 22, 201411 yr Volvo makes no such machine. The Volvo machine we will be getting is a wheel loader. Yes sorry.I forgot that january sets are the plane and such, I was expecting Nuremberg fair pictures as if those were releases for january instead of summer. That and the summer/trench digger mention confused me. I always forget our Lego reality is 6 months in the past of this thread
January 23, 201411 yr Maybe the dozer will be a baby D8 to go with the monster D10/11 we got the other year
January 23, 201411 yr LEGO Shop Hi Jeff - It doesn't look like there are any new Technic sets scheduled for launch in the US until early summer. Like · Reply · 39 minutes ago That is what I got when asking about 2014 Technic launch in the USA.
January 24, 201411 yr Technic is not popular in the USA Iv heard. It's a euro thing :) Anyway back on topic.
January 24, 201411 yr Sad but true. If something cannot be assembled in less than twenty minutes, the majority of Americans don't want it. We just don't seem to appreciate the same things as the rest of the world's population. My collection is nothing but Technic so maybe I was meant to be European We should see photos of the new sets by the end of next week! Edited January 24, 201411 yr by therealjustin
January 24, 201411 yr We should see photos of the new sets by the end of next week! I hope you are right. Can't wait for proper photos.
January 24, 201411 yr I can't tell if the pick up truck is 4WD or not.. The front wheels have the center snaps from the 42000 hubs in them and might have new steering arms or the ones from the 8070... Paul, I believe that new suspension arms will be used with new small hubs (both the same as on snowmobile). Second due to problems with big turning cycle with CV joints I think it would be only rear wheel drive something like on extreme cruiser 8081. Why no hubs - it looks disproportional to have 5 studs high axle and only 10,5 studs tire diameter (81.6 X 38R) as you can see on your "New Suspension ideas using the new 2014 parts" BS folder. Regards Igor
January 24, 201411 yr The pick-up is mid-range model with cargo bed made of red 5x11 panels and the 8081 tyres ..... Something like this:
January 24, 201411 yr red panels, which are currently quite rare. Not for me, as I have two disassembled 8448's and participated in the Brick Race during LFW 2012.
January 24, 201411 yr Will it be a real pickup like hilux on the picture? Or it will be a larger type of vehicle? What about transmission (real 4wd?) and power functions? :) I love cars Edited January 24, 201411 yr by rm8
January 24, 201411 yr Maybe the dozer will be a baby D8 to go with the monster D10/11 we got the other year The dozer is a mid-range model, same size as last year 42006 Excavator. Something like this:
