I don't think that it will be similar to the Arocs. A catamaran sounds really interesting, and I'd like to see that rumour come true. A rally car at about 1400 pieces would be perfect, especially if it had a V6 or V8 engine and four wheel drive (with diffs). Expand Perhaps a rally car would be inspired by Lancia Stratos which had v6 but only rear wheel drive. Remember formula offroader set with only rear wheel drive...

As we write about rally car you know that economics always kills creativity, so I'll be more than happy with smaller Tractor tires in size of Unimog or Tumbler tires...but hope dies at last Edited July 16, 2017 by I_Igor

aminnich Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I always thought these discussion topics were posted too early. Now you guys are starting to talk about 2018 sets before we get our hands on 2017? Do not get your hopes up for anything.

Erik Leppen Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 It's speculation nonetheless. Hardly "discussion" yet.
iv-tecman Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Rally car would be really nice. 4 wheel drive, gearbox, could be a really good set.
Bobo08 Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) NASA license . Mars rover Or any kind of cool robotic rover. Edited July 19, 2017 by Bobo08 I realized this wasn't a wish list but real speculation . Pardon me .
cloud Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Any large 1:8 or 1:10 4x4 rally car with modern steering geometry and decent gearbox would be very welcome. I would also like to see a fully working slinger dump truck that can move 1x1x1 round bricks like the BWE and/or 1x1 round plates: If not next year, maybe in a year to come. Edited July 21, 2017 by cloud
Milan Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Guys, since we already have this topic, let's try to keep it clean. I know it is hard to so, since we have no real info yet, but still, this is not a speculation, or wish list topic. Please stay on track.
Luinux Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Being very honest, I'm sick of cars, trucks and construction machinery. I would like something different. For example, the world of fair rides provides a lot of interesting machines: Not to mention how cool it would be to have a Technic roller coaster... Edited July 28, 2017 by Luinux

I would love to see any attempts to propose which real-live vehicle or machine (or vessel ) could be used as an original for a certain 2018' set, but it's not a wishlist topic. Please Returning to the topic, I'd like to add that all that we have now is the following: "Catamaran yacht" - interesting, will we have a set of white panels for sails here? Rally car - will it have a ton of stickers like a real rally cars? "big giant licensed truck" - that could be 2018h1 flagship, I suppose + some more small vehicles - hopefully just small sets, not only pull-backs

aminnich Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Topics like these shouldn't be made until we actually have pictures, members tend to speculate a lot and we get our hopes up and once pictures are released, we have excepted much better.
efferman Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 A google search for "big giant truck" shows mostly mining dump trucks, so why not a liebherr one? Source

Milan Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 We will keep this locked until we have some info about 2018 sets which we can use to discuss, not to speculate or wish for.
