I would like to see big (2000piece) Monster Jam with proper suspension, engine, gearbox and 4 wheel steering!

@mrragge7986 5 ай бұрын

The perfect send off!

@EvanMoon 5 ай бұрын

That would be awesome! Especially if they would make the suspension really long and squishy, lots of suspension travel.

I liked the Monster Jam sets, they were fun to build & my son loved to race them. I just wish they put out Blue Thunder before the line ended.

I really would love to see a large scale Monster Jam truck with a small gearbox and all. Would be interesting to see the suspension.

Whole lot of adults in here missing the point of these sets. Monster Jam is huge for little kids in the 3-8 or 10 kind of range, like my 5 year old. We had all six of these and I actually found this video when googling hoping they had more sets coming. They are great builds for kids that age and the B builds were lots of fun too. Bummer to see the collaboration is done.

i wasn't a huge fan of all of the Monster Jam pullback trucks, but I liked the idea. For the most part, they were rough around the edges and were not going for accuracy. When Technic goes for accuracy - it usually comes at the expense of both FUN FEATURES and AFFORDABILITY. That's why I don't like this new direction.

@klausm5460 5 ай бұрын

The small(ish) new Technic set I´m most curíous about is the 42169 Formula E car because of the first time combination of pull-back and (hopefully fixable) steering function. The mixed tire set also looks more promising than what we got in the 50-Euro car category before.

@SaperPl1 5 ай бұрын

While there are some interesting building techniques in it, I feel like this is a missed opportunity to add new types of wheel arch panels, especially if we'll be getting more of such E Race sets with different branding. Also I would love to see this having some kind of suspension for additional playability.

@AHYL88 5 ай бұрын

This set is quite number of steps back from the Monster Jam based sets I feel; more expensive than before and while I don't doubt it is more interesting to build, it seems....bland somehow? It could be to do with it being a bit of a one-trick-pony as it doesn't offer B-models like the previous sets of this price range and size did; it's an issue that's shared with the Bulldozer set as that set and this one doesn't really do much

Oh man I hope you are wrong about the monster jam series being cancelled, I am a huge fan of them I’ve even modified all mine to remove the front bumpers so they look way more like the actual trucks. That being said this car does look good but I’m still not a fan of the pull back motors obviously I understand why they exist I just personally don’t like them. I hope you get a chance to ask the designers if the monster jam series will continue or not. Thank-you for another great review. Take care & hi from Canada

I really like 42166 NEOM McLaren Extreme E Race Car! But I guess that's not surprising since I'm a fan of 42160 Audi RS Q e-tron. I'll have to settle for this smaller technic set since the powered one is way too pricey! 😅 Great video, thank you for always giving us great content!

I love the Grave Digger, whenever I saw them on sale I would buy another. So my most frequent purchases were the OG Bat Mobile, Grave Digger and the Star Wars Legion 501. I am not a re seller but maybe I might trade.

@RoscoeWasHere 5 ай бұрын

The reason being, that shiny new McLaren license. I loved the build though. Haven't touched the stickers, but I like the colors and a more practical pull-back car, even if I'll never use that feature.

@themaskedwander 5 ай бұрын

Doubt, it's the licence since they have been working with McLaren for years. Even if it was, there's 10 different teams to pick from (going off Forza Horizon 5) if it was too pricey for McLarens team livery. Lego just seems a little eager to hike prices and test the water on how much they can charge

@RoscoeWasHere 5 ай бұрын

Except they're not hiking the price on everything. It's a bigger and more complex build than the previous Monster Jam sets. Heck, even the March one is the same as the Mustang was in 2022. Then you've got some themes that have had excellent prices for what you get.

I built the mclaren set on January 2nd and I think it‘s a good car. But less stickers, a few prints and a suspension would have made the model excellent.

Couple that with the next wave of Speed Champions already going up to $35 CAD and I'll definitely be waiting for sales on these. I used to buy them right away but not anymore. :(

I won't miss the Monster Jam sets as they were getting a bit samey to me- I much prefer when Lego designers invent their own unique vehicles with different layouts and different tyres. As for this set, it's just too much money for a pullback set. The cheaper buggy offers way more play features and the colour scheme is more interesting imo.

@niets8 5 ай бұрын

@kr15uk 5 ай бұрын

Never really cared about B models tbh. Most of them seemed like full off compromises builds due to “build with only these bits” approach and you have to take apart main build which is annoying if you are the person who have your builds on the shelf (StarWars Boost set was good example how B sets should be done). Having that said I’ve bought additional sets for some just to have B set on the display. Personally believe B set needs a bit more love, better suited parts and its own box on the shelf in the store.

I'm curious how many people actually built the B models... I wonder if Lego did some focus groups to determine and learned that very few do. If I had learned that and I'm in their position, I would likely rather focus my design resources on more A models than A and B models... B models consume some resources.

@RacingBrick 5 ай бұрын

I built a lot of them :) I'm sure one of the reasons for transitioning to digital instructions for B models was to be able to measure how many downloads they have compared to the total amount of sets sold.

@@RacingBrick It is not known why the sets of the monster jam series will not be released this year, Lego so far has not justified this decision, that is, you can not say that the series is definitely dead, because the fact that it will not be released this year does not mean that it is dead, I thought you might have some information about this but as you can find out from this video, you do not know either. Well, but some title of the film has to be given and after all, a name like "I don't know what's going on with the monster jam series" is not as interesting and eye-catching as "monster jam is dead" already understand?
