New Video and Details, 2H 2012 sets Nuremberg ToyFair 2012



Here we have another video from the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2012, this video shows all 3 Technic sets that are to be release in the 2H of 2012 and also shows most sets from 1H.








9393 Tractor 

From the picture below we can see some functions

HOG steering
In Cabin steering (maybe)
An attachment in the back











9396 Rescue Helicopter 

We can see that the Helicopter is huge, and looks great

Functions:

Retractable landing gear
Blades Rotate
Winch
Retractable Ramp( in the back)

And of coarse there are some other nice functions which were not demonstrated

 


 In the 2 images above we can see the 2 switches to control the 4 functions















9398 4x4 Crawler 


We already know the functions:

4 Wheel Drive
Independent Suspension, new shocks that came in the 8110 Unimog
Detailed Cabin
All Four wheels turn
Remote Controlled

The crawler probably has opening doors and hood (still curious to see if it will have a dummy engine)

And most importantly we can see the back of the box, which shows the B-Model which looks like an 4x4 Racing truck, I think it looks better than the Crawler, but lets wait for more images.

LEGO 9398 4x4 Crawler, Nuremberg ToyFair 2012


Here we have the first High Definition images and a video, which shows a LEGO employee, demonstrating the functions of the crawler

We can see from these pictures that the crawler will be having the new shock absorbers, that came in the 8110 Unimog and possibly the same portal axles. the body of the crawler has three different colors orange, black and white. The cabin and chassis are in red color.

Curious to know if the crawler has a working dummy engine.....

Features we can work out from the pictures.
Suspension 
All 4 wheels turn
4 wheel drive 
Detailed Cabin



Most importantly the crawler has new servo motors!, and its fast(for a crawler )

First Video Demonstration Of The 8109 Flatbed Truck

Here is the Flatbed in Action

Video by You Tube member 3fferman

This truck would have been even better if TLG also gave us a dummy engine under the cabin. I think the best function of the flatbed truck is the forklift, the way TLG has designed it, making it look very realistic.

LEGO Technic Flagship Model( 8110) in August



New parts( blue)


Casper brought us the first official details about the 8110 Unimog U400, at the technic.LEGO.com blog.As this is the biggest technic set ever released, we suspected that it may have some new parts and we were right because LEGO has developed a new pneumatic system which made it possible to direct the air pressure from a pneumatic cylinder to both ends. The result is an increased number of opportunities to use the pneumatic functions that you may find in this model. And the also made a new part(the blue connector with a pneumatic nose). After seeing this I realized it was desirable to develop a part like this.

It's good to see new parts for the pneumatic system, which is a good sign for future LEGO pneumatics systems.

It was a good idea for the LEGO Technic team, to start disclosing some details about the next flagship for the eager Technic fans.

I hope to see more details coming out soon!
