Zerobricks Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 42030 will be the 2h masterpiece. An unexpected licensed one, Unimog tires and huge (set and box...) You two are suspicious :) Quote
mssm Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 You two are suspicious :) Haha no. You got two details. Thats enought for now. :) Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Doesnt sheep's landrover use unimog wheels? Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Doesnt sheep's landrover use unimog wheels? Doesn't sheepo's landrover use a very similar amount of parts too? Zblj you sir, are a genius. Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Doesn't sheepo's landrover use a very similar amount of parts too? Zblj you sir, are a genius. Is its really his model, than I'm affraid I spoiled the unexpected surprise, but the Sheepo's defender has 3442 parts? Quote
efferman Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 maybe a function reduced version of the defender? Quote
captainmib Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 This is interesting, yes. We should squeeze out some more information from those two. On the other hand, i should be having fun with 42009, since i still need to build the B-model. What is it that the hunt for 'new' and 'more' always gets you itchy... Quote
Kubavet Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Hi guys, I agree that it can be Land Rover, but in my opinion more possible is that the Lego used project made by JaapTechnic ( http://rebrickable.com/sets/jaaptechnic/landrover-defender-90 ). Part count is pretty much the same, and it would look cool with the unimog tires. :) Quote
allanp Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Nice looking body but it's on that same old chassis! Edited January 4, 2014 by allanp Quote
captainmib Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 If it would only be a new body on old chassis, or just a body, i'm going to pass. I didnt bought 9398 and 41999 for the same reason, i don't think it's interesting enough. (for me) But oh well, i'm not going to turn this one down yet, it is still very premature. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Paul mentioned something about a track car,maybe this might be the B model? Quote
Paul Boratko Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 The "Track Car" that I read about may very well have just been the F1 Pullback racer.. I read about this back in July before I had even seen any of the new 1st half sets... That could have been the generic name they were giving it at that time... Quote
mssm Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 This is interesting, yes. Indeed it is! Remember the words "unexpected license". Not the end of discussion. Just the beginning of it. Quote
legolijntje Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Indeed it is! Remember the words "unexpected license". Not the end of discussion. Just the beginning of it. It's a Megablocks car! It can't be more unexpected than that! Quote
Conchas Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 It's a Megablocks car! It can't be more unexpected than that! ROTFLOL Quote
allanp Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Or a one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater.....on unimog wheels.....made by land rover! Quote
legolijntje Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Or a one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater.....on unimog wheels.....made by land rover! And to accompany that, they make a real life version too... I think we're getting a bit off topic here, now Quote
allanp Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Well it's 2014 speculation, is it not? Edited January 4, 2014 by allanp Quote
z3_2drive Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I can only imagine The Defender would be excellent, but I'd rather see an all-new model. Since it's licensed I think I'll be happy no matter what it is Quote
allanp Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Not all that bothered what it is as long as it has some great new parts and is an authentic mechanical replica of some real life vehicle of some kind. Quote
Meatman Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Doesn't sheepo's landrover use a very similar amount of parts too? Zblj you sir, are a genius. I find it highly unlikely that Lego would ever use a Cuusoo project as a Flagship for anything. At least in the current stage that Cuusoo is in. If this were true, then Lego's Technic team would have already had the redesign complete for some time now and I doubt that to be true because it would have needed redesigned from the ground up and flagship models are in development for much longer than a few months.

Richard L aka Scooby Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Can you tell us then wich kind of category we must think? For example: farming vehicles, construction machinery , or off-road racer like a short-course truck. Thi message was ment for Mssm. Edited January 4, 2014 by scooby136 Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 So, the info we have so far: -An "unexpected" licensed model -Unimog wheels -Large model -Large box -1626 pieces -Same price as Mobile Crane MKII -Package weight of 3.3kg Assuming all this is correct info, my guesses are the following: -Scraper. RC, 4 Unimog tires, 4 motors (drive, steer, raise/lower scraper, scraper dump) -Front-end loader. RC, 4 Unimog tires, 4 motors (drive, steer, raise/lower loader, dump loader) -Off-road dump truck. RC, 6 Unimog tires, 4 motors (drive, steer, dump, gate open/close) My wild-card guesses are below. IMHO, these are more doubtful, but could be possibilities. -Forwarder. RC, 6 or 8 Unimog tires, 4 motors operating 6 functions through gearbox (drive, steer, rotate boom, boom up/down, stick up/down, grapple open/close, gearbox.) This is doubtful because Unimog tires would be the wrong type of tire to use. -Telehandler. RC, 4 Unimog tires, 4 motors operating 6 functions through gearbox (drive, steer, boom up/down, boom extend, forks, stabilizers, gearbox) This is doubtful because the Unimog tires seem to be too large. Smaller balloon tires would fit better, imho. -Road Grader. RC, 6 unimog tires, 6 motors operating 10 functions through gearbox. This is doubtful because there are too many PF components, and it would be difficult to fit everything in the model. -Mars Rover. RC, 6 Unimog tires, 4 motors (drive, steer, and 2 arm functions). This is a bit off-the-wall though, and kinda doubtful. And, one more guess: - A non-RC road grader with heavy use of pneumatic parts. 6 unimog wheels, motorized compressor, 5 large pneumatic cylinders, 3 small pneumatic cylinders. The large number of pneumatic parts could account for the increased price, although the price does seem steep, even for all the pneumatic parts. I would love to see this more than any of the other models. As for the "unexpected" license, Cat, John Deere, or NASA would fit the above. I don't think we will see Sheepos Land Rover happen. As great as it is, I doubt LEGO would sell it because It's too heavy, too complex, and has too many motors. A simplified version may work, but then it's too similar to the off-road models we've seen the past two years. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 JCB 3cx Backhoe loader.... Although the unimog wheels are wrong I think...unless who ever said it had those wheels referred to the hubs.... Quote
zux Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I don't think we will see Sheepos Land Rover happen. As great as it is, I doubt LEGO would sell it because It's too heavy, too complex, and has too many motors. A simplified version may work, but then it's too similar to the off-road models we've seen the past two years. Just remember how many motors and PF stuff 41999 had with 1585 parts. Sheepo's Land Rover has 3 IR recievers and 7 PF motors - a bit more than 41999, but I think it might be reduced to some normal amount. I imagine Land Rover would be made in Dark green (aka British Racing Green) Quote
