Quacs Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 ive been following this thread but somehow probably missed it .... where does it say exactly that this is for sure the VIP early access set?! you guys just speculating!? The August store calendar shows early VIP access to an exclusive coming later this month, and this is the only exclusive known to be released next month. I suppose the early VIP access this month could be for another yet-to-be announced exclusive, but most likely it's the Tumbler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinP Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 It is, though it is reasoned speculation. So it's an educated guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Just niggling things look wrong. It doesn't say building toy on the front. All lego boxes do. It doesn't state what the 16+ means. Lego Boxes will usually quote age above that number for context. There us plenty of other things that look slightly out of place.It is true the box is missing some small details of info we all are accustomed to as you pointed out but it seems in many countries that is how the box simply looks. Age numbers without stating "Age" and piece info is missing along with the "Building Toy" statement. I don't know why it is like that; it just is. That too. I am getting all discombobulated.I'm getting a headache. Too many big words.... :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriterian Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 so in other words it is just speculation ... It's still fairly accurate speculation. Can you name a set that has just suddenly come out, with no prior information, on the day the calendar mentions early VIP access to an exclusive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great review, although the translation didn't really help much. I really enjoyed all the building pictures. Are those black rough-textured slopes unique to this set or have they been made before?

33Lego Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 No steering? ugh.. no point to motorize then.... You probably can try rear steering on this set with some technic pieces. Front steering will be very hard to implement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Whaat ?? No flick missiles ? I am soo disappointed Seriously though, out of any models, the Tumbler should be the one WITH (flick) missile launchers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attack on weather top - flick missiles - check Tumbler - flick missiles - we don't really see a need??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Since it's a UCS set aimed at AFOLs I see why they omitted flick fires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
