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

Product Information

This picture, also from Reddit, shows the offending gears: the three 8t ones on the right, which as you can see above, are in a tight space in the gearbox so can't be replaced with anything else. Give aircraft lovers an amazing insight into how the powerful Bell™ Boeing™ V-22 Osprey™ tiltrotor aircraft works with this highly-detailed LEGO® Technic™ aircraft playset (42113). Kids and adults aged 11 and up will love building an authentic motorized replica of the famous multi-mission aircraft.

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 reasons We will never know whether the set was cancelled due to external pressure, or because of this flaw. The fact that LEGO did not offer it to fan media for review a month or so ago at the same time as the other summer Technic sets suggests to me that it is the latter. In fact, one could argue that the external pressure provided a way for the company to save face and look like it was doing the right thing, while keeping the real reason for its withdrawal under wraps.I look forward to seeing what Sariel concludes in his video review, which should be available in a few days. The only manual operation is tilting the flap on the rear wing using the lever on the top of the fuselage. 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.

In recent years, LEGO has limited the scope of their military restriction to modern military vehicles. This allowed them to create sets based on historic military vehicles like the WWI-era Sopwith Camel biplane and Fokker Dr.1 triplane.I 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. Unfortunately, there's only a very ineffective safety mechanism for the rotor blades, reliant on friction pins, so when they foul on anything the gearbox seizes and the motor stalls. This is almost certainly going to happen at one time or another because when the blades are vertical they touch the ground, which of course prevents them from rotating. Fans of rescue vehicles will love building this awesome LEGO® Technic™ Bell™ Boeing™ V-22 Osprey™ (42113) toy. Its realistic features give a unique insight into this powerful aircraft.
