Wild West Train preorder in the LEGO shop - bit.ly/4jKU1fG
A really good train set. Ok, expensive. But good. It reminds me to the lone ranger train set. So lego has had good western trains already. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for detailed explain and comparisons! I believe it helped many people to make their choice with this train set.
The metal train axels are still in production. They are in 76423 Hogwarts Express & Housmead Station and 60423 Downtown Streetcar. Lego might be phasing them out, but they are still in sets on shelves.
60423 just launched in 2024, I feel Lego do not fully phase out the metal axels.
I love it, need more LUCKYTOWN
Thank you for answering my request to see it on the Logging Railway bridge! It looks so cool! Great scene potential with the train and the bridge together!
Nice to know motorising is quite easy, ordered one this morning at 3am (Aus time) though I could have slept in as it's still available nearly 8 hours later.
Controversial option.... All lego trains should be 8 studs wide. the compromise between the highly detailed 10 stud wide strains AND the 6 stud wide lego track.
When cars are 6-8 studs wide, how does it make any sense to how trains only be 6 wide.
Thanks for the reminder that they go on pre-order today!
About 15,000 were sold in the first 3 hours. The two medieval sets are almost sold out.
All sets have reached the minimum threshold of 3,000 copies.
Thanks for answering all the questions I asked in the earlier video - very helpful! I ordered my train today!
thank you Choo Choo - love videos with quick facts and answers to viewers questions 🤠👍
I love your videos, please make more technic sets
Ordered and happy it can be motorised 🎉
THANK YOU❤
Ordered🎉
I bought two of the current green express train in Australia at a major retailer in 2024 and they had metal axles.
Okay I got mine. It was funded in about 11 mins.. I wouldn’t wait at all for this. Looking forward to my real collectors edition for rdr2 :)
Hope i can get one
Just wondering if you had a parts list for the motorization? Thank you
@@juliendittmar74 the designer will publish that
Can you detail all the parts required for motorization with the numbers?
Im looking for them but they seem to be sold out at this moment...
@@thijshendriks2431 the required parts will be listed by the designer when the final product is shipped
@@RacingBrickgreat thanks.
Orded mine imediatly when it came available!
I've tried everything to check this preorder out but the site link doesn't open. It simply does work. Why?
I wish we could get these in south africa. Looks amazing
How do you have one and mine won't ship until July. They know every set is going to get funding, should've already been making the sets.
You might want to watch the first video
What doora do you have on your IKEA billys?
Search for IKEA on my channel, you will find an entire video about my setup. These doors are already discontinued btw.
Any suggestions for the best lego technic set with 50 Euro?
I was thinking to buying the Lego technic nascar you posted long time ago. What do you think?
Thanks for the 'heads-up' - ordered mine. I don't suppose you have any of the 1970s blue track to test it on? I have quite a bit from about 1972 that my 181 runs on. Would be interested to know if they are compatible with each other. Thanks again.
Ordered already
Already ordered it before seeing your motorization video. So much better than the static Orient Express! A LEGO train should always be able to be motorized out of the box. A big fail for LEGO and the reason I still haven't bought this set.
P.S. The latest Hogwarts Express & Hogsmeade Station 76423 from 2023 actually has metal axles, but sadly no magnets. I'd rather have magnets than metal axles for light trains like this WW Train.
I ordered 1 train, 2 Medieval Seaside Market, and 2 Siege Encampment 👍
Is 1.2 the standard voltage of AAA batteries in Europe? In the US, they’re usually 1.5 like the rechargeable ones you mentioned.
1.2V is the standard voltage for the rechargeable AA/AAA batteries. Alkaline batteries are 1.5V, but I prefer to use rechargeables.
@ oh, okay; thank you.
Thanks, Balaz. Can you advise which motorization is more straightforward, this or the Orient Express?
This seems a lot easier as it's a simple train motor and battery box swap, and the tender is already fully designed with this motorisation in mind! The Orient Express on the other hand needs more parts adjustment to make the motorisation work effectively. I'm glad the integration seems so simple here! 👍
This one is much more straightforward
@@RacingBrick Thanks a lot for the reply. Does the motorization make this a better buy than the Orient Express? There are no comparisons anywhere for the two sets, and I see a very close value proposition for both (OE-iconic, display, robust, no easy motorization) vs (WWT-unique, playable, fragile, motorization)
@@BrickByte you won't find detailed comparisons since BDP set samples are distributed in a very limited quantity in advance. You can see them side by side in my video, if you watch both reviews about the Wild West Train and my earlier videos about the Orient Express, you should be able to decide which one is better for you.
I notice the side rods seem to keep jamming up.
How much bigger is the Locomotive compared to the Lone Ranger constitution train ?
I don't have all LEGO trains around me, sorry. Based on the examples provided you should be able to estimate the size.
Got one secured.
How does this compare to the FunWhole Western freight train?
No one will really know for months! But as for price... Uh... And Funwhole has some sweet lights on their train. I've had it about a month or so and I'll be motorizing it with Mould King stuff including the fogger. This train is cool, but get the Funwhole train if you can!
@OutlawCamper yeah I think the FunWhole is a better deal, especially since it comes with it's own light kit
I think the Lego hub is a conspiracy with battery companies because it makes no sense why these do not have built in lithium components
It's been discussed a lot of times already.. proprietary batteries by LEGO would be more expensive, more difficult to buy, and their availability would highly depend on a single company.
@RacingBrick it's maddening at this point
@@marktackman2886 might be maddening for you, but completely reasonable in case of a toy that is available worldwide. Check out the Porsche RC Technic set from last year. It has a custom rechargeable battery made by LEGO. Can you buy it separately? No. Does it have any advantages over regular batteries? They could tweak the form factor a bit, but since it is in a special highly integrated hub that no other sets use, it really doesn't add any advantages at this point.
I disagree with the whole premise about batteries vs a usb port to recharge BUT I will concede that you know much more then me, are much more connected AND I trust you, I will defer to your expertise.
And now imagine in 15 years time, when powered up is replaced with something different, and discontinued, and you can’t buy a battery for it anymore. Maybe on the second hand market you can for a bit more, but that will soon get expensive.
To pricey for me, but I still think it would go ace with the delorean
It is too expensive but i will probably get it
Good news I will get it. Thank you very much for the content,your biggest fan from Greece 😀😀😀😀😀
I can't wait till July
Szia Balázs! Elnézést kérek az offért! Az elmúlt héten vettem egy teljesen új 42129 - LEGO Technic 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros készletet. A kérdésem a következő lenne, mivel Te ebben nagy szakértő vagy! A Zetros dobozán nincs darabszám feltüntetve! Most ez az update verzió, vagy a régebbi a kisebb hibákkal?! Ajtó, motorháztető stb. Kérlek reflektálj számomra, amelyet előre is köszönök! Még egyszer, elnézést kérek az offért! Szép napot neked! Üdv.
Itt meg tudod nézni a 2 különböző alkatrészlistát és össze tudod hasonlítani a papír instrukcióval ami a készletben van - rebrickable.com/sets/42129-1/4x4-mercedes-benz-zetros-trial-truck/?spot=search_global&t=1738741346&cs=16ea#parts
@@RacingBrick Köszönöm szépen a válaszodat és az információt! Amúgy megvan, 2129 darabból áll, de a dobozán ez nincs feltüntetve.Akkor feltehetőleg ez az update verzió. Szép napot Balázs!
Xtar batteries are 15x the price of Ikea batteries, the difference is minimal, the extra voltage doesn't give anything extra and the speed is about the same. With Ikea batteries (750 mAh or 900 mWh) you can drive around for 3 hours, with Xtar (1620 mWh) you should be able to drive for 5 - 5½ hours
@@casperhansen826 so you say that 1.2V and 1.5V gives you the same performance. Ok :)
hi balaz
