New Lego Technic sets for second half of 2010

December 18th, 2009

Information has surfaced on new sets which might be planned for the second half of 2010.  The information comes from the Netherlands where an online shop gave the tantalising information.

Motorcycle (set 8051) - Chain transmission linked to a 3 cylinder engine, new wheels, front and rear suspension.  The alternative model will be a helicopter.

Container Truck (set 8052) - This set is describes as "heavily motorised" - not sure what that means.  It will also have multiple linear actuators to "lift the container on to the back of the truck".   This may be similar to 2009's flagship Crane Truck.  The alternative model will be a dumper truck.

Mobile Crane (set 8053) - The model will have all wheel steer, 4 leg stabilisers, telescoping arm (to 60cm) and able to lift "heavy" loads.  This sounds about the same size as the Lego Technic Crane (8438) - not as big as the 8421 set and bigger than the Rough Terrain crane (8270).

Review of Lego Technic Tractor and Trailer set 8063

August 21st, 2009

lego-technic-tractor-trailer-set-8063-buildAn excellent review on the Lego Technic Tractor and Trailer has been added to the Eurobricks forum by the user known as Blakbird.  Blakbird was also the creator of the Technic Wheel Loader mentioned elsewhere.

The review contains many photos of the tractor and a few of the trailer.  It can be found in the Lego Technic section of Eurobricks forum here.

From the review it's more than apparent that the tractor model is virtually the same as the previous Technic Tractor (set 8284).  There's a few minor changes including newer shaped body panels around the motor, and a slightly different 3-point linkage on the rear.  Apart from that their identical.

The trailer contains 13 of the new 1x5x11 body panels (part 64782) and one new Linear Actuator (part 61927c01). Apart from those parts there's nothing else in the set that's new.

It has been mentioned that this Tractor and Trailer set may be a special set exclusive to Toys R Us as they're currently the only ones selling it.

Review of Lego Technic Wheel Loader – Set 8265

August 5th, 2009

lego-technic-set-8265-1An excellent review on the Lego Technic Wheel Loader (set 8265) has been added to the Eurobricks forum here.

The review is well structured, with photos of the box, the various part bags, various stages of the build, and the final model along with similar models from the past.

So far no major issues have been mentioned with this model and it looks like it will be the major success story of Lego this year.  Unfortunately there's been some issues with the "build quality" of the large Lego Technic Crane Truck.

lego-technic-wheel-loader-chasis The base chassis taking shape.
lego-technic-wheel-loader-middle The articulated joint in the middle of the model.  As you can see the photos show an amazing level of detail.
lego-technic-wheel-loader-finished The finished model

There's also a video on YouTube showing what can be done when you add this set together with the Lego Technic Bulldozer (set 8275) remote control parts.  It appears to use one of the XL Motors to drive the model and one to steer, and uses one Medium Motor to raise and lower the bucket, and one to tip it.

Review of Lego Technic Crane Truck – Set 8258

July 27th, 2009

8258-03The first detailed review of the Lego Technic Crane Truck has appeared - although sadly it's written in French!

http://www.setechnic.com/review-lego-technic-8258.html

Google Translated pages - Not 100% accurate, but enough for you to get the gist of the review

The review is split in 7 sections

  • Information
  • Design
  • Features
  • Content
  • My Opinion
  • Photos
  • Video

From the YouTube video of the model we can see a good overview of how it works.

My first impression is that the stabiliser legs look very flimsy.  On previous crane models the legs have actually raised the model of the ground.  There appears to be a lot of "play" in in the crane boom.  It would have been good to motorise the winch in some way, and to maybe have a motorised extension of the boom.  Rather disappointed that the crane arm doesn't extend much beyond the base of the model.

So will I be buying it?  I'll probably wait till it's available from Amazon and buy it as part of a bigger order.
