Sariel Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 I'm not sure if video reviews are acceptable to post here, and how - apologies in advance - so I figured I'll put them all in a single topic, so as not to spam the forums with video-only kind of content. I simply don't have enough time on my hands to write reviews, but the videos are thorough and include plenty of details, so I think you don't want to miss them. Any suggestions on how to make this topic better are welcome. The videos are also available as a YouTube playlist: And here we go: 42025 Cargo Plane 42021 Snowmobile 42022 Hot Rod 42023 Construction Crew 42024 Container Truck And two more: 42026 Black Champion Racer 42027 Desert Racer Quote
Anio Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Well. I present mine too, then. :) With review links in the video descriptions. Quote

Junpei Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Nice reviews! But I noticed in Sariel's review that the plastic used for the snowmobile suspension arms looks like it is of very low quality.. But hey, maybe it's just my eyes deceiving me. I still can't believe that 'hot rod' is an actual set though... If you ask me, Technic sets went down the drain after 8880... That being said, great reviews guys! Although I would prefer a pictoral review, video reviews are absolutely fine IMO. Actually the functions on the hot rod are really cool, I did not expect pushrod steering or a folding roof! So maybe I was wrong. But it still looks pretty ugly on the outside and the only new parts are the wheels. Edited December 1, 2013 by TwentyLeggedHen Quote
Sariel Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 I don't think the 8421's suspension arms have any quality issues, and if you have doubts, I have used them in the front suspension here: Quote
Junpei Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Oh, I don't doubt that they work well, the plastic just looks kind of see-through and cheap. Wait, 8421 doesn't even have suspension.. Quote
skyliner Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 i think congratulations to the lego technic team, next years models look full of possibilities! love the new parts! Quote
JM1971 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Was hoping for advanced and exiting full rc models, I don't think the 8421's suspension arms have any quality issues, and if you have doubts, I have used them in the front suspension here: Is there instructions for that? Quote
Paul B Technic Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Thanks for sharing these reviews, they are quite interesting :) Quote
biancawong Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 The cargo plane looks interesting, so does the container truck. I just finished the mini container truck, which was a great build :) Quote
Blakbird Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 I'm extremely jealous of all you fellows who got the sets early. Great job on all the reviews though. Now I know exactly which sets to buy. Quote
Jim Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Great topic. Nice to have a collection of Video Reviews. As far as I'm concerned; it might even be better to post this in the http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85899 topic next time. That way; we have all the speculation, information and (video/external) reviews in a single topic. What do you guys think? I will add this topic to the Technic Index Quote
DrJB Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 agreed ... would certainly be better organized if all reviews are within the same thread. Quote
Erik Leppen Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 While 42022's folding roof is nice, it's too bad it's almost identical to that in 4993. Quote
DanFraser Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 This is making me wonder what the flagship in 2h is going to be with all of these colours. Definitely dibs on the cargo plane and the 3in1 set though. So many new parts! Quote
Kronos Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 I'm extremely jealous of all you fellows who got the sets early. Great job on all the reviews though. Now I know exactly which sets to buy. That's all of them, right? Quote
Milan Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 That's all of them, right? x2, for alternate models :) Quote
Blakbird Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 x2, for alternate models :) Touché. You know me well. Quote
Balrog Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 I love your reviews! Especially if your rogue hamster go wild with Lego! Quote
Rishab N Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Your reviews are always entertaining to watch. Great work! Quote
Sariel Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Allow me to get back to the subject with this 42026/42027 Race Truck review. I should have the 42025 Cargo Plane B-model review in a few days, too. Quote
Blakbird Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 It's hard to imagine that TLG introduced a new worm gear just to change the angle of a meaningless spoiler on a B-model. I imagine it will be used for something much more important in the 2nd half. Quote
Gee Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Nice review. Is the model noticeably faster with the 2 motors than the models with single motors? Quote
Sariel Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Not that I have noticed. It's much heavier and seems to have poor traction in the back because of being front-heavy. Quote
