Vous avez peut-être déjà vu traîner des images de ce set sur les réseaux sociaux, en vous demandant si elles étaient bien réelles. Et bien oui, les amateurs de trains peuvent se réjouir : LEGO dévoile aujourd’hui le set 10277 Crocodile Locomotive dans une gamme LEGO Creator Expert qui ne porte plus son nom. On retrouve ici l’emballage « premium » que LEGO emploiera désormais pour ses produits destinés aux adultes.
LEGO nous propose donc aujourd’hui cette reproduction d’une locomotive « Crocodile », dont les premiers modèles ont été mis en circulation en Suisse en 1919. Ces locomotives ont été appelées ainsi très certainement pour leur forme, et la livrée verte des unités mises en service quelques années après les modèles bruns. Il s’agit de locomotives électriques, articulées, composées de deux châssis moteurs et d’une section centrale captant le courant et abritant le poste de conduite.
Le modèle LEGO est composé de 1271 pièces, au prix de 99,99 €. Sa sortie est attendue pour le 1er Juillet prochain. Il est motorisable grâce à l’écosystème Powered Up et commandable par smartphone via une application dédiée. Il faudra cependant repasser à la caisse et y ajouter un Hub (réf. 88009 – 49,99 €) et un grand moteur Technic (réf. 88013 – 34,99 €).
Le toit de la partie centrale est détachable, permettant d’installer les deux minifigs fournies aux commandes. L’espace est également suffisant pour intégrer le Hub Powered Up si vous souhaitez motoriser l’engin. Prévoyez un peu de place si vous voulez l’exposer : la chose mesure tout de même 52cm de long !
Pour retrouver cette locomotive sur la boutique officielle, ça se passe à cette adresse. Ci-dessous le descriptif officiel.
