Nice to see a new part, but wont the steering link just get pushed up over the ball joint with bar with pin? (unless its like the old 6L links (still possible but harder) / 9L links (impossible))

The stability feet on the large crane are interesting.  Somewhere between 2x2 and 4x6 plate with a towball socket on the top?  At least I'm guessing it's a red 66906 towball connecting it to the leg.  And I'd guess to store them you have to pop them out of the pin connector, cause I don't see any way to fold them up.

(edit) Maybe they're for City semi truck 5th wheels?  Sort of looks like it's a keyhole shape so you can slide the ball in from one side.

 

 

I think the mystery parts might be black flagpoles, inserted through multiple 61332 to connect the arm to the "hydraulic cylinder".  3957b

Look at the top of the harbour crane... They really tried hard to avoid re-releasing the Red toggle joint! :wall:

Lol, that's harsh :tongue:

I love how those small scale sets are using more and more technic parts for some posable 'functions'. Hopefully this kind of technic part reuse also results in more diverse technic parts, especially basic structural ones.

That's a shame. Not sure I understand how much re-releasing such parts would cost (I guess mostly a bit of storage cost, apart from switching molds/colors one more time). But my guess is that it could probably used in other sets too in the future, as it's a basic color.. Maybe cheaper than all the work they need to do to avoid it in the next set as well..

Probably a storage issue. They simply don't have the capacity to store so many different parts/colors. We have seen this happen quite often in the past.

I'd almost believe that, if it weren't so that at the same time they do seem to have the capacity to re-release strange (non-generic) parts in exotic colors (like some posted a few pages before in this thread) for the sake of certain themes.

Yeah, I know and I absolutely agree. But themes seem to get a certain quota/quotum. This goes for stickers (edit: prints) as well.

A purple exterior with this nougat interior would look nice

Although, a new color in an existing mold doesn't neccesarily mean the introduction to Technic, sadly (see botanical sets, late Bionicle/early Hero Factory)

Have we had sand green Technic parts besides axles and connectors in botanical sets before?

At least the 1x9 and 2x4 beams are new. Could this be the color of the G500? Or rather a color for 2025?

That's interesting! Are you sure it's sand green and not olive green like the technic Defender? Even then, the 9L beam would be new. But it does look more like sand green. And it's not really necessary in that color in this set, so probably made for something else. Sand green would combine better with all the available system parts, like the ones in the Icons Defender :) (I think olive green does not have that many parts available..)

BTW, what's that little fender part on the quad?

Interesting! That does look a good bit like the typically shown releasecolor for the electric G, at least. 016-2025-mercedes-benz-g580-electric-fir

It would be a good look for it
