LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey Tiltrotor with Motor Functions Helicopter Toy

Product Information

Some steps later, the gearbox is complete and connected to the motor. It includes four gear shifters, which makes it similar to the one used in 42042 Crawler Crane. However, unlike the 42042’s gearbox, V-22’s is an incredibly compact structure. Note that there are hardly any connectors and extensions. This section is a pure mix of liftarms, gears, and shifters; it’s an outstanding design. If you can find it at RRP, you might as well buy it, but not bother building it, given it can only increase in value. If not, spend the money on something else that works properly.

In the review I posted earlier I concluded that 42113 Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey has a design flaw that causes parts to become damaged, and that could well be the real reason why its release has been cancelled. We appreciate that some fans who were looking forward to this set may be disappointed, but we believe it’s important to ensure that we uphold our brand values. It got me thinking though, what if there was the set of gears in the middle where they are now, and also on the other side of the biscuit, then the torque through them individually would be halved. Think of it like a car. Let's say a wing mirror was prone to lopsided but can be an easily fixed with manufacturer supplied parts. No recall required. HOWEVER, if a car was liable to lose control at certain speeds cos of a problem in the suspension then it would need to be recalled for obvious reasonsI would laugh if Lego admitted it was the fault in the set as a reason to recall and that they would 're-release' the set with Lego supplying the parts to remedy the problem.

There is also a real life white-red color scheme for the Osprey. This is the first flight (maiden flight) of the Osprey. Here is the official statement, confirming that following yesterday’s news, the set is indeed cancelled:Fortunately, LEGO® is LEGO® and you as a LEGO® fan can decide for yourself what you want to build or not. If you find it very unfortunate that this construction set is not released as an official set, you can still (almost) build it with the building instructions. The lower one on the other side raises and lowers the wheels, which when retracted, fit neatly into the body. I then read a post on Facebook by Kenneth who said that he moved the gears to the other side of the yellow 'biscuit' that you can see above, and supported them more securely, which fixed it for him.
