Interesting are also the other notes (Source: https://zusammengebaut.com/live-ticker-keine-spielwarenmesse-2021-alle-lego-neuheiten-113557/?fbclid=IwAR2d_fTo4gncwkRMyD2wUZ8rM3HUTIWN1cUyy9VVdV0ZtAnxaxMy8CY3wh8

My own translation:

"Technic 2. half year

Dozer (note: misleadingly he wrote down 'Bagger', which means excavator)       6898 Pieces

Truck MB (note: Mercedes Benz)   Powered Up

Forklift      2325 Pieces"

The last one really is misleading too: Either the reporter has zero clues about heavy equipment and meant the 42128 Tow Truck as he saw two "forks" on the back for towing, which would be strange, as this set should have 2017 pieces OR the forklift is the unknown 42130.

The above posts should be deleted by the authors or mods to prevent further fake news spreading. I am a bit disappointed by zusammengebaut that they posted that, because even for a native speaker it seemed pretty believable at first and quickly escalated to false rumor spreading on other social media channels as well.

Is the written note fake news?

Looks like it. I re-read the article. Aprils Fools Day in January it seems:

"LEGO welcomes the invited guests and names the most successful themes of the previous year. The Top 5:

" LEGO Pirates
" LEGO Classic Space
" LEGO Trains
" LEGO Brains
" LEGO Nexo Knights"

.... so the 6986 pieces CAT is highly likely not true... xD

Edit: According to more reliable source, the piece count of the CAT is 3854: https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-technic-sommer-2021/#lego-technic-42130

You can believe the other German blogs as they get their info for the set lists from retail catalogs and online stores.

  42126 Licensed Vehicle 18+ 1379 150€  10/2021  
  42128 Heavy-Duty Tow Truck 2017 150€  08/2021  
  42129 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros 2108 300€  08/2021  
  42131 CAT D11T Bulldozer 3854 450€  10/2021  

                         42127 Movie Licensed Vehicle (probably Charger follow-up to F&F) 100$.

i wasn't appealed at all by the Dom'dodge charger when it goes out.

I buy it only as part donor to replicate @paave's police car.

My daughter ask me if she could built the dodge at first. What she does.

And i was stunned by the model, once built.

So i'll never get too quick opinion on sets anymore, TLG designer worked hard on it (most of time) and there are often good surprise :classic:

I felt just the same with the Ducati, I bought it for its price and parts without likying a lot bikes and when I did it I got shocked with the Lego work, I did twice and even did it a MOD improving some parts. With the Charger I have the same feeling in fact I have bought the tyres to can do it.

Up to this point, i feel like this writing note is real.

I saw his writing note for Speed Champions at 2HY, its all same as the rumors listed I saw at other social platform.
