inversion Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Hell yeah. It seems that LEGO is beginning to make Technic flagships being targeted at AFOLs. I welcome it, a return to my roots. My first sets were large Technic ones, being a 5 years old. Skipped Duplo and SYSTEM entirely. My friends were building LEGO Town police cars while I was assembling this: Probably my all time favorite set, of course mainly for emotional reasons, but not like it would not stand the test of time.

Does this mean that 42030 will be gone soon to make space for 42055 and 42056? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of years have only produced 1 or 2 a year that I've been really interested in, and Lego is getting a little ridiculous. There's already like 3 from recent releases, and then just about everything on that list is going to have to be a buy for me. DAMN YOU LEGO!!!! DAMNS YOU ALL TO HELL!!!! *pounds sand* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crustybeaver Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) WOW that looks like an insane build. The box must be huge!

tractorboy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Woah! That's a monster. Kinda ugly, but still... So if this is the £179.99 set, what's the £249.99 42056 gonna look like?

Crustybeaver Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Are we sure this is priced at £179.99? Looks more a £249.99 set to me. If 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator is the largest set ever at over 3000 pieces then that would mean that 42056 Confidential Technic Ultramotive has less pieces but priced at considerably more. Unless this is a rather expensive contract tie-in I suspect these prices are quoted incorrectly.

Unless this is a rather expensive contract tie-in I suspect these prices are quoted incorrectly. A motor is considered to be one piece. Look at Volvo vs AROCS. Price per piece is such a wrong metric.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the photo of the Bucket Wheel Excavator it looks like it's got plenty of pneumatics and motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the photo of the Bucket Wheel Excavator it looks like it's got plenty of pneumatics and motors Judging by the photo BWE has 1 motor and no pneumatics. The piping belongs to the VOLVO EW behind it. And yes, I am saying that the car will have several motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
