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

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.. :sceptic: But hey, maybe it's just my eyes deceiving me.

I still can't believe that 'hot rod' is an actual set though... :sick: If you ask me, Technic sets went down the drain after 8880...

That being said, great reviews guys! :thumbup: 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.

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:

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.. :wacko:

i think congratulations to the lego technic team, next years models look full of possibilities! love the new parts!

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? :tongue:

The cargo plane looks interesting, so does the container truck. I just finished the mini container truck, which was a great build :)

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 :thumbup:

agreed ... would certainly be better organized if all reviews are within the same thread.

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!

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?

I love your reviews! Especially if your rogue hamster go wild with Lego!

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.

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.

Nice review. Is the model noticeably faster with the 2 motors than the models with single motors?

Not that I have noticed. It's much heavier and seems to have poor traction in the back because of being front-heavy.
