LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) Details

Back at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, LEGO revealed the LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) that will be coming out later this year but there were no details on it. Our friends over at PromoBricks has found out some concrete info on it including the release date of August 1 and will be priced at €299 and £249 which was revealed at the London Toy Fair.

In addition, a Swiss online shop does not mention that there are any batteries included like the other Technic sets so we can assume there are no Power Functions in the set so the pricing of the set will be mostly on the parts count which is still unknown at this time.

Another small detail that Michael has given is that the Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be a “lava orange” color and not the prototype camouflage that is shown in the image above which car makers use to disguise their future models.

Given some of the details, are you still on board with the LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) or has it deterred you somewhat?

LEGO 2016 Set Rumors (Various Themes)

It’s that time of the year were more details of 2016 set will be coming out. My trusty source has provided me with some more rumored LEGO sets coming throughout next year. There are no pictures but I do have some details for various themes. Let’s just start alphabetically by theme.

For the Architecture sets, we kinda knew about the city type ones but one that wasn’t touched on was one featuring Buckingham Palace from the United Kingdom. It’s made up of lots of tan pieces and also includes a mini double-decker bus.

There was also mentioning of one of the LEGO Ghostbusters sets from the reboot movie which I posted the announcement earlier today. All I have from Ghostbusters is a set number of 75828 with $79.99 NZD.

LEGO TECHNIC fans also get in on the fun with a Bucket Wheel Excavator (42055) that goes for $499 NZD. There’s also another TECHNIC set named “Ultimate Vehicle” which goes for $699 NZD. I’m not sure if that’s the final name of it or not but that’s what I was told.

Although I said I would go alphabetically with themes, I saved what could be an awesome set for last. Back in 2013, LEGO released the LEGO Creator Sydney Opera House (10234) which was based off of the famous building in Australia. Rumor has it that LEGO will be releasing another world building set with the Big Ben (10253) from London with the pricing at $499 NZD.

LEGO 2016 Official Set Images (Partial)

I’m not sure how long these will stay up but Bothan spies (whung, CM4sci, J2G) over on Eurobricks has found a slew of LEGO 2016 set images found on LEGO’s servers already. Note that these images are official and do not have watermarks but LEGO can decide to remove them from the servers at any time. Some of the images are system sets while some are promotional or polybag sets. What sets are you looking forward to?

Update: LEGO has taken down all their links on their server but the good folks at Brickset had them backed up.

Update 2: LEGO has begun telling sites to remove the images so I’ve complied to their wish. If you’re looking for them, they’re still out there on the web. You just have to find them.
