If you follow, you probably remember this competition organized by LEGO in 2012 and whose objective was to market the model designed by a MOCeur on the basis of the frame of the set 9398 4x4 Crawler.

The winner, rm88, had won with almost 50% of the vote during the vote organized to determine the creation which would be published in 20.000 copies and put on sale on the LEGO Shop as of August 1st (US price announced: $ 199.99 ).

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the Technic range: Excavators or trucks, very little for me.

But this variant of the set 9398 4x4 Crawler, motorized, equipped with LEDs for the headlights, new really successful rims and an original look will undoubtedly encourage me to make a foray into this range.

The MOCeur winner of the competition offers exclusively, and this is quite normal, the first review of this set of 1585 pieces which will be marketed under the reference 41999.

Spin on his website discover his first impressions as well as the many photos he offers and you will no doubt be conquered as I am by this exclusive edition.

Le LEGO Technic official blog offers us a preview of the final version of the LEGO Technic 41999 set inspired by the MOC of Egor Karshiev alias rm88, big winner of the LEGO Technic Challenge I was telling you about here ou leaves.

The final model remains faithful to the winner's MOC, with a change of color in passing, the black body with yellow bands becoming blue with white bands, which effectively makes this machine suddenly more attractive ... 

This limited edition set will be produced in 20.000 copies and offered for pre-order from July 1, 2013 with an effective availability date set to August 1, 2013. My little finger tells me that this box could prove to be a wise investment.

After his excellent MOC inspired by Darth Vader's first appearance at the end of theEpisode III Revenge of the Sith (See this article), markus 1984 sets the scene for the 4th round of the Star Wars MOC Olympics competition organized by Imperium der Steine ​​with this scene taken from theEpisode V The Empire Strikes Back.

We see Han Solo on his way to a long hibernation in a carbonite screed under the eyes of his beloved and a few thugs of the Empire.

Since you have finally been able to acquire your box of the set 21103 The DeLorean Time Machine (Already out of stock by the way) after the few technical problems encountered by the LEGO Shop and that the set 41999 x4 Crawler Limited Edition is already out of stock with a new availability date announced to August 22, you have no valid excuse not to visit markus1984's flickr gallery and discover the many photos of this nice MOC.
