76023 - The Tumbler

[Quacs]

ive been following this thread but somehow probably missed it .... where does it say exactly that this is for sure the VIP early access set?! you guys just speculating!?

The August store calendar shows early VIP access to an exclusive coming later this month, and this is the only exclusive known to be released next month. I suppose the early VIP access this month could be for another yet-to-be announced exclusive, but most likely it's the Tumbler.

so in other words it is just speculation ...

It is, though it is reasoned speculation.

So it's an educated guess.

That too. I am getting all discombobulated.

Just niggling things look wrong. It doesn't say building toy on the front. All lego boxes do. It doesn't state what the 16+ means. Lego Boxes will usually quote age above that number for context. There us plenty of other things that look slightly out of place.

It is true the box is missing some small details of info we all are accustomed to as you pointed out but it seems in many countries that is how the box simply looks. Age numbers without stating "Age" and piece info is missing along with the "Building Toy" statement. I don't know why it is like that; it just is.

That too. I am getting all discombobulated.

I'm getting a headache. Too many big words.... :wacko:

It's still fairly accurate speculation. Can you name a set that has just suddenly come out, with no prior information, on the day the calendar mentions early VIP access to an exclusive?

I wonder how easy it would be to motorize, add RC and lights...

It is in Korean (Google Translate cannot properly handle it) but we can still admire the pictures.

Great review, although the translation didn't really help much. I really enjoyed all the building pictures. Are those black rough-textured slopes unique to this set or have they been made before?

You probably can try rear steering on this set with some technic pieces.

 

Front steering will be very hard to implement.

Awesome pics. Thank you for the link! I see a whole lot of Technic in that build.

....Those are some BIG ass tires. :O

[tractorboy]

Great pics on that Korean flickr. Looks like a really fun build.

None that I have ever seen.

Whaat ?? No flick missiles ?  I am soo disappointed

 

Seriously though, out of any models, the Tumbler should be the one WITH (flick) missile launchers

Truly. Attack on weather top - flick missiles - check

Tumbler - flick missiles - we don't really see a need???

[stephen_rockefeller]

Since it's a UCS set aimed at AFOLs I see why they omitted flick fires.

Let's be grateful they didn't make any sacrifices to the beautiful aesthetics of the model just to accommodate a feature that doesn't even work on a kids set.

Ii saw this site yesterday. Now there's no reason for me to really continue prepping for my Tumbler build / review thread. The pictures are excellent,
