May 5th, 2011 by Smithy No comments »

Set for release in August 2011 is what Lego have called a Bucket Truck.  In the UK this would probably be called a Cherry Picker or Elevated Platform truck.



Part count will be about 600 pieces and is expected to cost about £45.

The set will have the following features:-

  • Gear knob on left side of the model will raise the platform.
  • Gear knob on right side of the model will turn the large turntable rotating the arm.
  • 2 Further gears inside the model will raise and lower the outriggers
  • Large gear knob at the back of the model will steer it.
  • Lifting bonnet and opening doors

 

New Lego Technic set for 2011 – Flat Bed Truck (Set 8109)

May 1st, 2011 by Smithy No comments »

Not much is known about the Flat Bed Truck at this stage. A vehicle recovery truck would be a better description.  It looks like the model has a sliding flat bed at the back, possibly has a Linier Actuator to move the bed, possibly has a manual winch, possibly has a "spectacle lift" at the back. Has Hand Of God steering

New Lego Technic set for 2011 – Unimog (set 8110)

April 29th, 2011 by Smithy No comments »

Piece count - 2049

Approx Cost - €160


What we think will be included at this early stage -

  • Alternative model uses the same basic model but converts the back items to a front snow plow
  • New tyres
  • New orange colour for Technic
  • Return of pneumatic cylinders including the rare small cylinder
  • 2 Large pneumatic cylinders
  • 3 Pneumatic switches
  • 1 M motor and battery box which seem to go through a clutch system to control the front winch and something to do with the rear crane arm.  Suspect a pneumatic compressor or to rotate the turntable
  • Hand of God steering - basically the light beacon on the top will turn the steering wheel
  • Manually operated crane legs
  • 4 wheel drive
  • 4 Wheel suspension
  • Possibility of a 3 or 4 cylinder engine driven by the motor but we've been unable to substantiate it
