42055 BWE, 42056 Porsche, 42053 Volvo EW160E och 42054 Claas Xerion 5 [Technic]

[Limpfittz]

Någon som misstänker att 42056 kommer stiga i värde rejält efter produktion är slut? Är det någon som av exklusivt set, eller bara ett vanligt hyll-set? Värt att köpa en kopia och ha oöppnad i bra skick några år?

Det verkar ju som om detta set är det första i en serie om man läser intervjun med designteamet. Man kan ju titta på modulhusen hur de har stigit.  Dock är priset galet högt.

Om det nu är så, så kommer priset stigea rejält? Däcken är exklusiva till detta set också. Borde vara värt att spara undan ett tag oöppnat? Någon som instämmer?

Jag tror att även Porsche-samlarna kommer vara intresserade av modellen, har du råd att köpa en nyare Porsche har du förmodligen råd att betala överpris för en leksak. Alltid en chansning dock och nästan tre papp är ändå en rejäl slant.

meh... :/

Säkerligen kommer den stiga i värde, men jag tror ändå inte det blir samma efterfrågan som för modulhus. Det finns många vuxna technic-byggare men känns inte som de samlar på samma sätt.

Det här med serier är smart säljknep, man vill inte missa första setet. Bara antydan att det är en serie på gång gör att jag kommer köpa den 😊

The LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS: the art of engineering and design in 2,704 elements
One of the latest models in the legendary 911 family, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, is appearing as a detailed LEGO Technic model. The exclusive
LEGO set of the exceptional sports car, which has been developed in close conjunction with Porsche AG, will initially be available at shop.LEGO.com from June 1st, 2016, as well as in the 13 LEGO stores throughout Germany and Austria. It will be available in other stores from August 1st, 2016.

Munich, April 25, 2016. Like every sports car with the Porsche emblem on the hood, the LEGO version of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS also combines design, performance, and functionality. Still concealed in black-and-white foil as a mystery model at the Nuremberg toy fair late January, the color of the characteristic bodywork has now been revealed and shines in bright orange. Thus, it corresponds to the special coating of the original sports car in lava orange authentically. The model, which has 2,704 elements, also delights the beholder with sleek, aerodynamic lines and an adjustable rear spoiler. Besides many authentic features, the packaging and accessories that come with this complex LEGO Technic model also contribute to a building experience rich in variety: among other things, the box contains a comprehensive collector's book with exclusive background information on the development of the model. Furthermore, the elements of the individual assembly groups are packed in separate boxes for the first time and, together with the detailed instructions, provide an insight into the assembly process of the actual vehicle.

The LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS combines design and functionality
According to Ferry Porsche, driving enjoyment is not created by comfort –quite the opposite is the case. Consequently, the LEGO model also features a few rough edges that give it identity and character, just like the powerful original on which it is based: the authentically recreated bodywork is convincingly realistic with its characteristically low and sloping design, the large cooling air intakes at the front, the surface contouring of its roof and compartment lid, the unique front wheel arch air outlets of the lightweight carbon fenders and the striking rear wings.

Both the performance and the sportiness of the original have been realistically reproduced in various technical features on the LEGO model. One particular highlight is the fully functional Porsche double-clutch transmission with four gears and gearshift paddles on the steering wheel. But all technically minded LEGO fans will especially love building and playing with the six-cylinder boxer engine with moving pistons underneath the rear lid.

In addition to the technical features, the interior of the model is also authentic and close to the original. A detailed dashboard, a steering wheel with gearshift paddles, racing seats, and a glove compartment concealing a unique serial number can all be found in the easily accessible cockpit. Using this serial number, additional exclusive content can also be released from June 1st 2016 by following www.lego.com/technic.

Further product highlights on the LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS for master builders aged 16 and over include:

•   Opening doors and hood
•   A trunk with case
•   Authentic stickers to give the model the faithful final touch
•   Rims in the original design with RS emblem

The LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a 1:10 scale model and is 17 cm high, 57 cm long, and 25 cm wide.

The designers of the LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS Andrew Woodman and Uwe Wabra are talking about their dream project – from the idea to the complete model.
What was the idea behind this project?

Andrew Woodman, Senior Design Manager, LEGO Technic:
As a lover of design and high-performance cars, it was a dream to make the Porsche 911 our first model. When we started to collect ideas for this new LEGO Technic model, we realized that we wanted to create more than just a great building experience. It should be all over special. We knew that we needed a partner with the perfect vehicle that was both highly desirable and a true icon. So we reached out to Porsche.

How did the cooperation with Porsche run?

Andrew Woodman, Senior Design Manager, LEGO Technic:
The cooperation with Porsche was fantastic. The employees are incredibly passionate for the Porsche brand and showed huge interest in our LEGO Technic model.
From our very first meeting it was clear that Porsche shared the same passion for the vision of this concept and together we decided upon using the current 911 GT3 RS as the first vehicle in this LEGO Technic series.

How much time did the whole process take and what were the particular development steps?

Andrew Woodman, Senior Design Manager, LEGO Technic:
The whole process took almost two ages: From the development of initial design ideas concerning the concept in winter 2013 to the final approval of the model by Porsche in fall 2015.

Uwe Wabra, Senior Designer, LEGO Technic:
When we started our initial drafts in 2013, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS project remained top secret. Therefore I had to build the first LEGO version using photos of the camouflaged prototype of the original from the internet. The first LEGO prototype was ready in a matter of weeks.

Andrew Woodman, Senior Design Manager, LEGO Technic:
We presented the result of the first model to the design team of the 911 GT3 RS at Porsche and discussed the basic technical functionalities as well as the shape of the body. On the basis of this feedback we designed the next model and simultaneously started with the development of the wheels rims which are an important part of the legendary design of the car. Afterwards we visited the Porsche Development Center in Weissach as well as the Porsche GT workshop area. During intensive working phases we worked out the elements and details of the car and perfected them. The final step was the approval by Porsche.

Did you experience a special moment during the development phase?

Andrew Woodman, Senior Design Manager, LEGO Technic:
During our visit at the Porsche GT workshop area we could see a preproduction 911 GT3 RS complete and finished in lava orange. This was the first time we saw the car in color – all the others had been black which made it difficult to see the proportions and details of the car.

How many persons were involved in the development process?

Andrew Woodman, Senior Design Manager, LEGO Technic:
Several persons participated in the development of this model: Among others, a graphic designer started working on the required decorations and stickers. In the meantime model designers worked further on the styling and on the development of particular components, for example the gearbox.

What were the challenges during the development of the
LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS?

Andrew Woodman, Senior Design Manager, LEGO Technic:
One of the biggest challenges for us laid in designing an element that works on the 911 GT3 RS, but also in general with all others LEGO Technic elements. Furthermore something that could work in our system for years to come.

Uwe Wabra, Senior Designer, LEGO Technic:
It was important to integrate as many of the advanced technical functionalities from the real 911 GT3 RS as we could. The steering and suspension were difficult enough, but our biggest challenge was the creation of the functioning double-clutch transmission with gearshift paddles.
About the designers:
Andrew Woodman is Senior Design Manager at LEGO Technic and working for the LEGO Group since 2003. The design lover has a passion for all kinds of vehicles, yachts and architecture. He passes on this passion and knowledge for design by lecturing at colleges hopefully inspiring and motivating others to become interested in his profession.
Uwe Wabra is Senior Designer in the LEGO Technic department. He has been working for the LEGO Group for already ten years. Uwe has a huge passion for all things automotive as a glance in his garage reveals. It really is an eclectic collection of cars, bikes and trucks, consisting of originals as well as models, which is spread all over his house.

Känslan av att vänta in

42056 (Brickset)

och inser att det är något lurt. Läsa på andra forum att den är försenad, att något är tokigt och att texten på S@H är ändrad.

Det var inte vad man ville läsa.
Är det någon som vet något mer, såhär i väntans tider?

[Nyllet]

På shop.lego.com står den som en av "Top sellers" på förstasidan, men försöker man välja den så blir det "Out of stock, will ship in 30 days" 
Antingen har folk köpt den som f-n, så att det blev slut i lagret (den skulle väl släppas idag?) eller så har det blivit någon försening.

[Markurius]

Tydligen har den dålig växellåda och sen är det fel i manualen på något ställe. Läst mycket på Eurobricks och det är inte många nöjda där... Ska det vara en UCS-set så ställs det högre krav är väl slutsatsen. Läs gärna Jims review:

Official statement - 42056 LEGO Technic Porsche
Thank you to all our dedicated fans for the comments regarding the GT3 RS by LEGO Technic.

It is correct that the gears in this model are not sequential as in the real Porsche PDK. This is however, a deliberate decision taken to ensure that we make the best possible LEGO version of this amazing car that both meets our design requirements and gives everyone a great building and product experience.

It was a considered decision taken during development that the gears running in the correct order meant that it did not result in a great experience when driving the car. Too many gears are engaged at the same time and smooth running with all those tolerances is just not possible.

If you switch the build in steps 267 and 269 the gears will run sequentially, and everyone who feels that this is the better solution should feel encouraged to do so.
LEGO Technic really is the ultimate open source design product and now that it is finally available, we look forward to seeing all the 'improved' models our fans create. After all, that is what LEGO building is all about.
We hope everyone will have a great building experience and feel a strong sense of pride from creating both our version and their very own LEGO Technic representation of a Porsche GT3 RS. We are very fortunate to have such skilled and dedicated fans that can spot this small deviation from reality and would like to thank everyone for sharing their ideas and expert knowledge.

Många verkar vara besvikna på att det mest är en snygg bil utan avancerade tekniska funktioner. Känns som Mercedes-lastbilen var mer avancerad.

Var det bara ljug i designerfilmen om växellåda som styrs av paddlar?

Jaså bara två kugghjul som behöver byta plats? Betydligt enklare än att fixa exempelvis huvudet på Wall-E.

Fick mail idag om att Porschen är redo att skickas men att mitt kort inte gick att debitera. Det blir till att ringa på måndag morgon!
