What happened to the 42061 Telehandler?

[Andy D]

I can't seem to find the 42061 Telehandler on the LEGO USA site. I can find it on Amazon US, and eBay UK and Japan, but not eBay USA.

i ordered one from Amazon US for $42, just because I want it, before it disappears completely.

Any thoughts as to what happened to it?

Normally I would agree, but the USA LEGO site has dropped all reference to the 42061 and the 42062. Seems like temporialy unavailable would still have a mention on the LEGO site.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks,

I don't think they have been released in N America yet.  This has happened several times in the past - some of the 1H sets have been delayed until about March.

@aeh5040 I think you might be correct. I just purchased the 42061 and 42062 from Amazon USA and neither of them have the number of parts on the box (like the out of USA sets) so, I think they must have been European sets that somehow made their way to the USA. I paid a somewhat premium price, but not too bad.

Maybe I will get duplicates when they make it to the USA.

I believe the mystery (to me) has been solved.

Thanks,
