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!

LEGO celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Unimog

LEGO has teamed up with Mercedes Benz to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Unimog, its been a while since we have started getting more details and more images of the 8110 . Its a 1:12 scale model of the real Mercedes-Benz Unimog. One of the key features this set has, is that it's the first official set with both power functions and pneumatics, for its awesome functions this set has also shown up on many news websites, one of them is Car And Driver.   

Here's what Mercedes Benz had to say

"Mercedes-Benz Unimog celebrates 60th Jubilee - Mercedes-Benz and LEGO® - first time cooperation: Unimog the biggest Technic model of all time
Wörth/München, Jun 01, 2011

- Design true to the original and just like the real thing
- real functions reproduced in LEGO format
- 2048 modules thrill adult LEGO fans

Wörth/München – Anyone who always dreamed of owning his own Unimog now has the chance to put one in his garage: The first do-it-yourself Unimog U 400 (1:12,5) will be on offer from August on: The LEGO Group, the world's third largest toy manufacturer, has created a model with 2048 elements – up to now the largest LEGO Technic model in the company's history. The impressive vehicle which links a combination of electric drive and pneumatics has been produced in exclusive cooperation with Mercedes-Benz as a true adaptation of the original down to the smallest details. As the world ' s most versatile workhorse, the Unimog pushes snow away in winter, mows motorway embankments in summer or helps to construct new roads. The so-called " Power Functions " run the pump of a pneumatically operated crane with a gripper arm that can rotate almost 360 degrees. With its gripper and the front winch, the Unimog can move any load out of the way. In addition it also has a serviceable control system and an engine which is accurate in every detail right down to the pistons. The gear unit provides good ground clearance just like the portal axles in the original, an individual suspension deadens jolts and the four-wheel drive guarantees mobility off-road as well. For winter use, the crane and winch can be converted into a huge snow plow. The LEGO Technic Unimog U 400 will be available from toy retailers from August on as well as from Mercedes- Benz and it costs about 190 Euros.

Mercedes-Benz Unimog celebrates 60th Jubilee

This top LEGO model comes just at the right time for the two big jubilees that the Unimog is celebrating at the moment: 60 years ago, on 3 June 1951 to be exact, the first Mercedes-Benz Unimog was created in Gaggenau and in December 2010 the 10,000th Unimog from product range U 300/U 400/U 500 rolled off the band at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth. A unique vehicle concept had been created with its outstanding off-road mobility due to its four-wheel drive and fast driving features on the road. Since then the Unimog has proved its worth not only for winter services, caring for green areas or for various work in horticulture and landscape gardening – they are also used for fighting forest fires and planting trees, digging ditches and drilling holes in the ground, as well as shunting on railway lines and disaster intervention over impassable country.

Altogether more than 380,000 units of the "Universal-Motor-Geräts (tool)" have rolled off the line. In the early days, the Unimog was produced in Gaggenau, but since 2002 it has been produced in Wörth. Daimler AG is celebrating this jubilee in 2011 with a whole variety of events."
