brickolodon Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) ...sorry, what was release date so far? Edited April 28, 2015 by OlegLEGO nvm, mid May...thanks Quote
mauro23 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 So you want to pay extra 100$ or whatever if you already have a PF kit? Mixer also had a motorized bundle and I really like it that LEGO doesn't want to shove down PF on your throat. Would you rather have no option? Compulsory bundling is against consumer welfare (less choice).Yes, I would, but when there will be an option to motorize it then it won't be a problem for me... Quote
g3man Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Great box artAren't the roller coaster and tower swings in the background the same as the background for 10244 Fairground Mixer box art? So maybe not a great hint for the future... Quote

cladner Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) when people are freaking out buying new Falcons.care to elaborate any further on the impending "Hero Ship"? Edited April 28, 2015 by cladner Quote
oneknightr Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) According to this website - http://www.groovebricks.com/lego-creator-ferris-wheel-10247-first-image/ - this has 2,464 pieces and will retail for $200 (USD). It says it will have 10 minifigures,I'm hoping the $199.99 price quoted from groovebricks is true. $249.99 would put a damper on things (as posted by ravenb99).

Mixer also had a motorized bundle and I really like it that LEGO doesn't want to shove down PF on your throat. Would you rather have no option? Compulsory bundling is against consumer welfare (less choice). I don't think his point was that it's not bundled, but that the FW doesn't appear to have motorized functionality.I know I agree with you, that I'd rather have a choice. And I went out and bought the PF to add to the FM. But looking over that FW, I'd love to have it motorized, but don't seem to see that it is. Quote
diablo2112 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Somewhere back in this thread, someone posted a closeup from the box art that pretty clearly shows gearing and power transfer axles. Sure looks like this set can be motorized.edit: this post. Edited April 28, 2015 by diablo2112 1 Quote
mattyman Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 We know height is 60cm and width is 38cms. will length differ. The width was shown to be looking at the wheel side on rather than face on. Quote

Ed Mack Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 is that the "main" hero ship or secondary hero ship or bothI think I already stated which one. Quote
wceagles Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 The two rides in the back can still be future models.look closely at the left hand corner of the back of the fairground mixer box - looks like it might be a ferris wheel in the background (although bigger capsules than the 10247 version). if so, that would be a positive sign in terms of potential future models Quote
Huskers1236 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Somewhere back in this thread, someone posted a closeup from the box art that pretty clearly shows gearing and power transfer axles. Sure looks like this set can be motorized.edit: this post.That may just be a guide wheel, sure doesn't look like anything is hooked up to it. Not to say that you couldn't run an axle through it and run PF, but to me it just looks like a stabilizing wheel. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 That technic axle that appears to be going into the wheel is just a holding pin for one of the gondolas. I don't think that is a PF point. I'm not saying it's not PF, but I don't think that is the point of power. Quote
oneknightr Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 To TLG: Where's the designer video?? We want answers! Quote
baldilocks Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 The June calendar shows a picture of the Ferris Wheel and says build the Ferris Wheel the star of the Fairground.So it does appear that Lego is planning a fair theme. 3 Quote

So it does appear that Lego is planning a fair theme. Turn the crank? That confirms that there's no PF but we all knew that. I'm still itchin' to see the designer video though. Quote
Lego Starter Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Found this picture on ebay, does it means the Ferris Wheel has power function? Quote
Lego Starter Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Oh I am sorry...does the picture is old one? Quote
