His latest prompted several of you to contact us via The Lego Car Blog Feedback page to ask if it could be featured here, so here it is! This MAN TGX truck is a good model in its own right, but is even more impressive when you discover it’s built solely from the parts of LEGO’s 2013 41999 Rock Crawler. And for that, we like Technic Man even more, as many of LEGO’s 41999 sets will stay unopened in the basements of speculators and collectors, never to see the light of day or feel the hands they were designed for. You can read our review of 41999 here, and if you own one, take a leaf out of Technic Man’s book, and have some fun with it! There’s more to our title for this post than it may appear.
You see, with the arrival of smooth Technic beams and smooth LEGO curves, which admittedly are far better suited to modern cars than the old square elements, something in Technic building has been lost. Remko Kleinveld on MOCpages reclaims the old-school chunky studs-up building style with his beautifully constructed Land Rover Defender. And what better vehicle to build in an obsolete no-nonsense style than a Defender? Soon to be replaced by something sleeker, more efficient, but probably not as cool, it’s the perfect metaphor. This tasty looking Technic off-roader was unearthed by the Elves on Brickshelf. Built by chumuhou1 it features LEGO’s excellent Power Fuctions XL motors and some truly monstrous suspension. It also looks pretty lightweight, which is rarity for Technic creations and will enhance its off-road ability compared to the usual heavyweight offerings we see. Visit chumuhou1’s Brickshelf gallery to see more of his ‘Black Fox’ MOC. Zblj’s 4×4 ‘Panther’ is one of the best Lego Off-road vehicles we’ve seen.
Combining Power Functions with Lego RC, it can climb almost anything. Zblj describes it as ‘fast and black’. Like a ninja with hiking boots? View it on Brickshelf or YouTube, but if you’re under 12 don’t read the number plate. There is some discussion on the internet estimating the prices for the three as-yet-unreleased Technic sets of 2012. We thought we’d weigh in with our predictions, following our previews of all three sets earlier in the year (type ‘preview’ into our search feature at the bottom of the page to read the reports). We were deliberately vague with our pricing information until now, which probably hasn’t helped those of you trying to work out how much to save! We’re basing our estimations on three factors: The piece count and piece type of the new model Lego’s ‘build to a price’ approach Inputting this information into our enormous and very complex super-computer gives us the following results. So there you have it – some completely unofficial and possibly inaccurate prices.
Lego Technic 9393 Tractor Preview In the words of the late Etta James; After a long search The Lego Car Blog Elves have scooped the final unrevealed Technic set of 2012. Alongside the previously revealed 9398 Rock Crawler and 9396 Rescue Helicopter, 9393 looks somewhat less impressive, due in most part to the fact it is, well, less impressive. But that’s not to say it isn’t a good Technic set. 9393 is probably the smallest ‘proper’ Technic set to be released in 2012, holding that position jointly with the Quad Bike that’s already in shops (we can’t really say the mini-crane and mini-Unimog are proper Technic sets whatever The Lego Company labels the boxes). Anyhow, this tractor looks a strong starter set, bringing back proper functionality after some shaky efforts over the past few years. It appears to feature hand-of-God steering and a working rear implement, presumably operating as a power take-off from the rear wheels. What we’re less keen on is the laziness of Lego’s designers, as this is the third green Technic tractor in about 5 years.
Still, if it’s a popular format then we can understand Lego’s reluctance to break with a winning idea. The 2012 Tractor will reach stores towards the end of Summer 2012 (or August if you’re reading this and wondering what the seasonal timings are at The Lego Car Blog Towers), and should be priced at about one third of the flagships’ RRP.Sold & shipped by WalmartPickup options1Add to CartPickup options$.$.$.+ $.$.$.+ Compare all 10 sellersAge Range: 6-12 yearsIncludes 3 minifigures: a female ATV driver, male volcano adventurer and a male volcano worker Read more....
