2010 Lego Technic sets make an apperence at Canadian Toy Fair

February 4th, 2010

It's toy fair season at the moment where toy companies showcase their new and upcoming toys.  These images were captured at the Toronto Toy fare in Canada.

Lego Technic Excavator - set 8043

From the box we can see it contains 1123 parts and is aimed at 11-16 year olds.  The arm does have 3 degrees of articulation, the top half rotates,  and the tracks are driven.  This gives 6 motions with only 4 motors and 4 available controls from the remote control, so it looks like there'll be some form of switching mechanism between the 6 functions.

Lego Technic Container Truck - set 8052

Again from the box the set contains 686 parts and is aimed at ages 10 - 16 years old.  The truck is fitted with one Power Functions motor that looks like a medium sized one.  Presumably to load and offload the container.  The container can either be tipped as in a tipper truck, or offloaded to the back.  This looks like it's selected by a small gearbox on the side of the truck.

Lego Technic Mobile Crane - set 8053

The set contains 1289 parts and is aimed at 11-16 years.  The model doesn't appear to contain any Power Functions motors so presumably everything is manually driven.  The crane has unusual outriggers to stabilise the it.  They appear to form a large x, each swinging out from the side.  Looks like thumb type screws on each stabiliser leg.  The cranes hook is rather odd considering they didn't use the existing hook and pulley parts.  It'll be interesting how heavy a weight this crane will be able to lift with only one Linear Actuator.

Lego Technic Motorbike - set 8051

487 Lego parts aimed at 9 to 16 year olds.  The wheels on the bike look like new parts - wider than any other motor bike produced in the past.  This looks like a very detailed build using lots of small parts.

Hi Resolution image of the Lego Technic 8043 Excavator

January 11th, 2010

lego-technic-8043-excavator-bigA new higher resolution picture of the Lego Technic Excavator has been published on Eurobricks.  The photo was taken from a trade toy catalogue for upcoming toys in 2010.

This image clears up some of the previous confusions about this model but raises more.

First of all the model does use the standard PF Remote control units.  Notice that the right hand level has a red connector on it.  This has led to speculation that it controls some kind of switching unit to convert some of the motor power from one function to another.

The model supposedly has have 4 motors.  By the look of the gears next to the tracks, it looks like the tracks will be powered.  There's also 3 sets of Linear Actuators and the model also rotates.  So that makes 6 "functions" - so how can this be done with only 4 motors?

It's possible that the right hand lever controls one motor connected to some kind of gear box.  In one gear the remaining 3 motors control the left and right tracks, and also the rotation of the model.  In the other gear the 3 motors control the boom, stick and bucket.  By doing this it means that 2 of the motors have to traverse the turntable in the middle - not something that's ever been done in a Lego Technic set before.  The rotation could be powered from either the upper part of the model or the bottom.

By the looks of it the picture is actually a computer generated image rather than a true photo.  Some detail is lacking.  An example of this is the 2 LA's that lift the boom.  If they are really geared in this way one LA will go up, the other will go down.  To work, both LA's would have to be geared from the same side.  The LA's also look longer than they should be - either it's a trick of the image or they're a new part.

New rumors on the 2010 Flagship Lego Technic Set – PF Excavator!

December 21st, 2009

There's new rumors circulating about the flagship Lego Technic set for 2010.

According to some sources that claim to have seen a 2010 toy dealers catalogue that the flagship set for 2010 will be a Power Functions Remote controlled Excavator.

Some spec's being rumored

It's not clear how each of the bits would be used.  I would reckon 2 LA's will control the main boom, 1 for the stick, and one for the bucket.  One motor would control each of the movements, with one motor to turn the upper portion of excavator.  This leaves nothing to control the tracks unfortunately.  It's possible the tracks will be controlled by some kind of sliding clutch type assembly but this would involve complicated gearing between the tracks and the main structure.

It seems Lego are listening to their customers who have frequently asked for a fully remote controlled Power Functions model.

I predict something along the lines of the Lego Technic Excavator (set 8851) from 1984.
