Val-E Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) So that´s the vault set. It was a tower then, just not very Eiffel. 11pcs more than 4999 so what are the other 10 apart from the brick separator?

Oh, comparing the (confidential) box-shot of the new 10268 with the 4999 box shot, it looks like an identical remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Seems like the greedy 4999 hoarders will get their comeuppance soon - LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, LEGO are too lazy to give us what we want. 11pcs is probably a typo meaning 1pc - the brick separator. How this company is still in business is beyond me as it's just disappointment after disappointment these days. Not one set this year has floated my boat. I used to be interested for the love of the toy and company and now it's just for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusiKyle Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The original 4999 appears to be a promotional item, a limited edition released in conjunction with Vestas (according to B-set . com). Was it for purchase or an expensive giveaway? The lack of a listed RRP on B-Set suggests it was free, I wonder what we should anticipate RRP for 10268 to be. Living in Iowa I see these when I drive across the state, reminds me of the oil pumps I saw when driving across Texas. I'd pick one of these up.

thedingman5 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Seeing as power functions are included, I'll guess $120 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I was guessing, $129.99 to $149.99... I noticed 42065 Lego Technic RC Tracked Racer is $99.99 and has a battery pack, couple motors and a remote but only 320 pieces. 42080 Lego Technic Forest Machine has 1003 pieces, power functions (and also includes pneumatic system) for $149.99. Another way to estimate is $0.12 per piece + $25 for power functions, that's ($0.12 * 826) + $25 = $124.12 and that's pretty close to your price point. Likely to be a Shop@Home deal or pushing this out to retailers? We'll know soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacsniper Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Does it include a mini solar panel to run it? It will be kind of counter intuitive to use batteries to run a wind turbine that is suppose to be "environmentally friendly" while the consumers use battery cells to run the power functions that is harmful to the environment.

Did you have a possibility to measure the charging current etc? how long does it take in avg to re-charge a completely depleated battery?

crayxlp Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Im just curious! My folks are all into renewable energy and since they loved the LEGO Edu Energy set I was thinking about getting this as a complimentary kit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the world will just get standard PF2.0 with 6 x AAA alkaline batteries, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recon an 60 euro XXXL classic box should provide most of the content plus the PF pack for 35 euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
