Furious_george Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 This is not the flagship, correct? Quote
gregpj Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Just a bit confused why they've called it an air race jet. It's clearly based on the F-35, but why would you need all the added weight of a second engine for vtol on a jet meant for racing? Does look smart but the name just doesn't make sense. They don't make sets based on military vehicles of any kind. That's why it's a race jet. Quote

Lol, I may be wrong but looks to me like you know more about planes than an average person......so/and you're overthinking it IMO. I wouldnt know/couldn't care about things like that. Looks cool to me p.s. Can I even call it plane.... Quote
Phil B Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 I'd have still gone for something like Hover Jet or Jump Jet rather than Race Jet though. I would have gone for Joan Jett ... 3 Quote

Jump Jet might be a little close to the Harrier Jump Jet though.Should have called it "VTO Jet with Silly Opening Roll Cage, errrr, Cockpit." They blew it with that stupid hose mimicking a windscreen. Quote
Val-E Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 2017 sets are now up at EU SAH. If you are from Spain or Holland you had better not bother checking the prices. If you live in the UK and were thinking of buying the BMW bike, look away as well! Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 Yet another Technic bike spoiled by forgetting to put a seat on it again! Who want's to place their arse straight onto hot bodywork?

Val-E Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 and the 3 2H set will be: 42068 Fire Rescue Vehicle 42069 Extreme Adventure 42070 6x6 All Terrain Tow Truck (probably the flagship model, RC and maybe using PF 2.0). We´ll see pics at the beginning of February. 1 Quote
ISO8T0 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 I like the BMW bike although I wish they'd do the S 1000 RR instead. Maybe other OEMs will join them in the future. I totally see a market for Harleys, Ducatis and Triumph sets.Yes. Lots of opportunity for other manufacturers.Oh how I miss my Ducati. Quote

Val-E Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 No, it´s cut and paste from brickset for the set names and the rest is conjecture. Quote

As you will have seen over at EBs, prelim photos are now out and it is a full RC with IR receiver set, similar to 9398. Looks like it is a Merc clone, with or without licence. No pics from other sets yet and one set number is missing. Quote

More than Mercedes reminds me some military grade wrecker from Oshkosh.Teddy bear is nice touch, looks like some redneck upgrade . I only hope, that this RC is a lot more functional than 9398. But still, Im interested in extreme adventurer.Could have some cool suspension/tracks combination as some say with great looking body(Presumably similar to Land Rover). Quote
