AndroTech Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I wonder how big the dozer will be or will it possibly be pneumatic :) any reason why we haven't seen pictures yet? Ps i really like loader it's a must buy for me,the red truck a bit boring though. The dozer is approximately the same size as last year 42006 Excavator, and no, it's not pneumatic. Oh and yes, .... it's yellow ..... Quote
David83 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Have you seen it? Why no pics yet, is it not at the show? Quote
AndroTech Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Have you seen it? Why no pics yet, is it not at the show? I have seen it on preliminary pictures which can not be posted here ...... but yes, it's yellow it has V4 fake engine, blade made of liftarms and panels ...... looks quite good ..... And I agree, it is strange that there is no pictures of dozer from Nuremberg Show ..... maybe soon .... Quote
Conchas Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I got the impression (eventually wrong), they do not use to show all new sets at Nuremberg Toy Fair. That's why the details about the Dozer were only seen by a few who got access to the dealers catalog. Maybe we get to see it at NY Toy Fair, although the 1H LEGO Technic sets are not yet selling in NA. Quote
Thirdwigg Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Wow, a lot happened since I last checked. I like the possibilities that the small truck will offer. Like 8081, I think it has a lot of options for modification. As other have stated, the red panels are certainly a plus. The loader seems fine, and has a lot of complex functions, but I find myself becoming less willing to purchase the flagships. I just don't need another 500 pins in my collection. I'll buy the bucket, hubs, and motors from Bricklink. I am looking forward to the Dozer. I like the sets around that size with a good four manual functions. It's very much in line with the way I build. Quote
zux Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 1626 pieces - 200euro I wonder what is the price tag for pickup truck? Quote
AndroTech Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I wonder what is the price tag for pickup truck? 90 euro .... maybe .... I'm guessing .... Quote
Wraith777 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Well, those H2 sets are definitely targeted at newcomers of "big technic". 42030 Front loader has almost everything (well, except pneumatics and suspension parts, but this is where 42029 takes off) that new AFOL could wish in one pack: 2 IR contolers and recievers, 4 different types of motors, 3 LA's, big Unimog tyres, a new gorgeous Volvo bucket. 42029 Custom Truck handles the rest of parts required for TT or other wheeled disciplines: suspension parts, shock absorbers, lots of red panels. If only I didn't have 8297, 8258, 8043, 8110 (well.. no, I'll keep 8110 :) ), I would 100% buy those two sets. I think company does everything right: they gave us 8297, 8258, 8043, 8110, 9398, 42009. But since they can't invent a wheel every year and they have to give something to them (newcomers), they have to recycle some of ideas by summing previous achievements and putting them into 42029 and 42030...

Saberwing40k Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 42030, in my opinion, could have been so much better. The steering is wonky, and it could have had all the motors in back, and suspension too. The compromises they made probably did not have to be made. Quote
davidmull Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Wraith777 a real front loader does not have suspension! Quote
EyesOnly Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Wraith777 a real front loader does not have suspension! Yes it does. The rear axle can swing a few degrees. The front is solid. It doesn't have springs but it does have suspension.

EyesOnly Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 From page 20 in the brochure. Axles: Fullyfloating axle shafts with planetary-type heavy-duty hub reductions. Fixed front axle and oscillating rear axle. Of course it's not specific to the model or brand but i chose it since it is the model that this set is based on. Quote
jonwil Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 cool, they finally do a Technic pickup truck. Quote
unimog123 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I very much agree with thirdwigg. The front loader is not appealing to me and the only good thing about the pickup truck is the red panels, but the prices will then drop on Bricklink so I probably won't get this set either. I am now just looking forward to the Bulldozer since I've never built one before. Quote
Blakbird Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Yes it swings but that's not suspension! It is unsprung suspension which is a perfectly valid variety. Virtually all heavy equipment has this. The manufacturer's web sites all call it suspension. Quote
DreamsKnight Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) I appreciate the use of servo, i see in a simple way for mod: 1m and two LA inside che loader and a usefull servo as a spare parts. :D Edited January 30, 2014 by DreamsKnight Quote
theultimatetoa001 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 With all the complaining about nitpicks like which motor should be used on the 42030,jerky steering,and "unrealistic" speed makes me wish that someone would just make a "Lego 42030 Complaining" topic already so we people who wanna talk about the good points of these sets can talk together in peace.

Johnny P Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) It's always tesame when TLC comes with a new set. Complaints ,complaints and some more complaints. And all this in advance.

Maybe i am easily pleased. But i am one happy afol. Grtz Johnny Edited January 30, 2014 by Johnny P Quote

There's already a topic for talking about the good points http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=91615 This topic is used to discuss the sets, so everyone is allowed to state his opinion!

Wraith777 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Wraith777 a real front loader does not have suspension! I didn't say it does have a suspension parts. Quote
DrJB Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 It is unsprung suspension which is a perfectly valid variety. Virtually all heavy equipment has this. The manufacturer's web sites all call it suspension. Strictly speaking, in most construction machinery, the large tires (with their plushness) count as suspension. Now, in agricultural machines however, some tractors (Case) do have a Cab with a suspension ... To improve operator's comfort. Quote
Johnny P Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 most tractors nowadays have a suspended cab and also a suspended front axle. Even our massey ferguson from the year 2001 has a suspended front axle. Quote
1gor Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 exactly, even smaller classes have front suspended axles and some bigger have independent suspension at the front. JCB Fastrac has both front and rear suspension Quote
