LEGO® TECHNIC® CONTROL+

So I have the top gear lego rally car and the thing has had zero problems since I got it on Christmas in 2020. Not to be rude, but for any critics out there, when you say you have a “problem” with the app and set, rebuild it first because most of those other comments are easy fixes. As I said earlier, the cars are great and I have had so much fun with it so far: I just wish an update or upgrade could make it faster. If not possible or hard to do, then don’t bother because you guys worked hard and made a great product. Thanks once again for reading this if you do.

I don’t even know what to say. I own one Lego which utilizes Leto technic control plus hubs, and I must say this is one of the most intricate and spectacular things I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I own the Lego liebherr r9800 excavator replication and I must say it is such an amazing thing to own. Not only is the building experience unreal but it offers infinite playtime. I truly appreciate this Lego in all of its entirety and this app has just made it so much more enjoyable. I looked at the 450 dollar price tag and thought no Lego was worth that. I stand corrected. This Lego companioned with the app is such an amazing combo and is so fun. Absolutely worth it, though I can’t speak for other control plus legos. Amazing. Edit: thank you to Lego for creating such an amazing Lego!!! If anyone sees this (which they probably won’t), if I may, are there any large technic sets (20-30 thousand piece extravaganzas) that we can expect coming our way? I know one of legos core ideas with technical is also to be efficient (I also have the rough terrain crane, containing a single motor and battery box, so the liebherr was quite a step up) with the number of mottoes, pieces, and battery boxes. But the other day, I just thought “what if you didn’t care about that and just made a fifty odd thousand piece set containing 40 or so omitted and around 12 technic control plus hubs? A complete overkill Lego build to end all Lego builds. Yes, granted that would probably cost a pretty penny considering the motors and battery boxes to go along with the pieces, but it would definitely go like hotcakes. And I figure Lego probably has some big projects under covers that they plan to unveil, so (if allowed) can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks to Lego for being amazing!!

I tricked some relatives into getting me the Liebherr Excavator for a major holiday fully expecting either a smarter than average Power Functions or dumber than an average Mindstorms experience. I also expected a lot of Bluetooth headaches. What I got was nothing short of phenomenal. Connections were flawless and painless. Firmware updates were transparent—if long. The model testing along the way barely hinted at what was possible. Ultimately the total package completely blindsided me, but in the best way. The app is flawless: it holds your hand just enough while encouraging exploration through its achievements and rewards. Don’t like multi-touch? They’ve got you covered. While I’d rather use a text editor to program it, you can get somewhat sophisticated dragging control blocks around. And they really undersell the hardware! The app shows you the tilt of the model, updating in real time—but there’s no mention of an accelerometer or gravity sensor anywhere. What other things can it do? I’m certainly curious to get the other Control+ models now! I can’t go 5 stars, though, because the app seems hard-coded for three LEGO models. But LEGO is all about taking things apart and making your own creations too. Yet I can’t find a way to, for example, say that “port A is the release motor on my catapult” if I disassembled the Liebherr and made a steampunk trebuchet, for example. I can rebuild my LEGO bricks, but not the app, I guess.
