September 15, 201410 yr Yea the link is gone for me too, but this one still works http://i.imgur.com/FnnMmNk.jpg Wow that car looks amazing! I hope the front panels are flat silver
September 15, 201410 yr The dump truck and arctic thing also look really cool. Not a bad group if I'm honest lots of rare colours
September 15, 201410 yr Well I only got a quick glance at the pictures whilst brushing my teeth before school this morning but these sets look pretty cool! Too bad no tumbler tires tho. :(
September 15, 201410 yr Thanks for the high-resolution pictures! A lot more detail to be discerned there than in those blurry low-res ones. 42039 indeed looks totally awesome, I'm really curious what functionality it will offer. Love all the green and orange parts we're getting, by the way, should make for some MOCs (cars) with interesting colour schemes. Edited September 15, 201410 yr by jantjeuh
September 15, 201410 yr Techlug.fr has all the deeplinks on their site. Ah, alright. Still. Just in case. -Sci
September 15, 201410 yr Those green panels of the 42039 that make up the bumper seems to be new 3x9 panels? Tried it in ldd, 7 are too short, while 11 seems to be too large.
September 15, 201410 yr Yes, they are. Don't think so! To me they look panels #3 and #4 (3x7). Pretty sure!
September 15, 201410 yr They are definitely longer than the 3 X 7 panels... Edited September 15, 201410 yr by Paul Boratko
September 15, 201410 yr I was imagining the beam underneath as 5L. But now I agree it is 7L so the panel must be longer. Then they are probably 5x9 panels, instead of 3x9. Shades in these images can be really misleading...
September 15, 201410 yr Makes you wonder why Lego would make another new panel when they probably could have gotten away with using a 3 X 7 and a little creativeness... Most likely will see more of this size in the summer sets... Or in some off the wall system set...
September 15, 201410 yr Well, actually a 5x9 panel fills a kind of natural gap in the new panel system...
September 15, 201410 yr Well, actually a 5x9 panel fills a kind of natural gap in the new panel system... That is a good point... I don't know if they are 5 x 9 though.. I would think it would have a much longer sweeping curve.. The curve is pretty short like in the 3 X 7 panel... How many studs wide do you think this is..? 23..? Maybe 25..? Looks like it could be 25 from the front... Looks like two 5 x 11 in the back spoiler with a liftarm between them... maybe an extra stud on each end not being occupied...

September 16, 201410 yr Pretty sure its 3x9. Made the front in LDD and the panels cannot be 5 wide as they would stick too much into the headlights. The model is 25 studs wide.
September 16, 201410 yr Yes, calculating the geometries from the front, it is 25 wide. No less, no more!
September 16, 201410 yr Pretty sure its 3x9. Made the front in LDD and the panels cannot be 5 wide as they would stick too much into the headlights. The model is 25 studs wide. Yes, you're right! Doing some experiments with real bricks, 3x9 is now my bet as well.
September 16, 201410 yr Does anybody think that any of the B models could be an air plane or helicopter?
September 16, 201410 yr That mudguard part looks pretty cool. Maybe the days of the gap above the front wheels in supercar models will end.
September 16, 201410 yr Does anybody think that any of the B models could be an air plane or helicopter? Always a possibility... But none of the sets have props...
September 16, 201410 yr 42039 - sticker across panels, and on the nice new flat silver ones too...! thankfully we can put them where we like or not at all
September 16, 201410 yr does the dump truck (42035) have a 1-cilinder engine next to the cabin? That would be a nice surprise!
