Technic 2014 Discussion and Speculation

[jantjeuh]

Damn. I want pics of that plane. NOW.

[rm8]

Something like this but with longer fuselage:

[jantjeuh]

Really, really, curious about that plane. Thanks for the information. When was the last time TLG has done a proper plane anyway (not counting that red 'jet' a few years ago)?

Too early to thank! Do you think thats all?

Top set of 1H will be a HUGE cargo aircraft with price about 150 Euro. It will be equipped with L motor. Functions:

retracting chassis,

opening rear platform,

lifting whole cabin to open access to cargo bay,

rotating propellers

And a stick near the tail that controls ailerons and flaps.

The coolest thing here is color. It is fully white with some blue parts. Number of panels is big! Length of model is about 60 cm. box is like 9397 logging truck.

I don't like you Egor... First you screw my budget with your gorgeous 41999 and now you bring all the juicy news... Blah :P

I want this plane badly! No photo required!

[D3K]

I hope you're not screwing with us now, because that plane sounds absolutely awesome,a breath of fresh air!

Non-technic #10226 in 2012 - if it counts :)

Personally, I am very interested in new tires that will be used at container truck and construction crew. Also new hot rod is very interesting.

Plane is a very good for many white parts!

Oh no, first leak. Photo is not mine, but was leaked. Feel guilty myself, but if not me - someone other will do it:))

That looks like a lot of white panels indeed. Also looks like body can easily be lengthened to create a proper transport plane. Very promising all in all.

Ha! It will look great next to 9396!

Modified 9396?

[jantjeuh]

Tell that Russian to buy a better camera ;-)

But yes, I was also reminded of 9396. Probably the shape of the nose.

[peter_m]

Modified 9396?

No, standard A-model. As jantjeuh said - the shape of the "nose" is similar. At least from what can be seen on the pic.

The color makes me even more excited as I have bought 32 white 1x5x11 panels lately (new for $1 a piece in Prague!) - I now need some smaller ones :)

WOW, I was scared when I first see description of sets and I decided to not buy any.

But this plane change everything, I wait for this set for decades.Thanks lego, best lego technic set of 2014 and that year doesnt even start!

[Rishab N]

Wow that plane looks amazing. I' ll probably buy it instead of getting an older set

[TimH]

Thanks for the new set details rm8. I'm looking forward to seeing a better photo of the plane.

[Saberwing40k]

I turn around for five minutes, and look what happens? So, I'm kinda curious about the plane, and also the construction crew. Does the construction crew only include vehicles?

[CP5670]

The plane looks great, a real successor to 8855. I'm not sure about its functionality but might get it just for the unusual concept and color scheme. It's been ages since we had a flagship set that wasn't a construction or off-road vehicle.

The construction crew also sounds interesting. The idea of combining several smaller vehicles is common in other Lego themes, but has only been done once before in Technic with 8872.

Maybe we can rig the propellors to rotate fast enough for some lift.

Wow! This sounds great. Really love planes and helicopters! And it's white, which is very nice! Really looking forward to this one.

Soon you will see much more of this

[skriblez]

Going to be an expensive year i see :P

[Cwetqo]

I've also seen all new sets. Plane is really nice, with lots of new 3 wide panels. Motor is sadly not L, but M.

Other sets are disapointing. That "crew" set is just a mix of three mediocre 20euro sets and container stacker is to small and to roughly made. I also dont like snowmobile. Its just too basic.

[Jim]

I am glad that some of the sets are disappointing
