The motorbike is yet to be seen but other than that it seems to be a really bad wave as far as sets are concerned, but a very nice wave as far as the new parts are concerned. Many useful recolours, and the new panel parts mean a shopping trip to B&P.

We're yet to see the remaining 1H sets though, no?

I think 42139 will be also good. I predicted that we gonna get quadbike this year. 42133 seems also like pretty cool small set. Sadly we dont know anything about 42136, is it cancelled or something. I hope not.

Hopefully you're right and some proper Technic sets will be released too. I guess the small chopper is fine for a small set, but I'm more interested in the mid-to-large range.

I'm most hyped for 42133. Hopefully we'll get a peek at it in one of the manuals from the January sets.

And also a sneak-peak of the 1:8 scale supercar if everything goes according to plan with the Toy Fair on January 25 & 26

@howitzerI think a good chunk of excitement is still left for the 22H1 wave. Howevr, I gotta agree they way Lego is turning things like two of the 50$ sets being unnecessarily pull-backs, who knows what unlikeable stuffs are going to happen to the sets we are hoping for. Usually, in the beginning of the year, the small to semi-small sets are polished and make "less noise"

Plot twist: Formula 1 will be a pullback set. Of course it wont happen. Im also thinked about the functions of every unrevealed set. Im gonna leave them here

 

42133 - Moving Arm, Extending arm (maybe)

42136 - Steering, unloading tipper, Inline Piston Engine (maybe)

42139 - Suspension, Steering and Winch

42140 - Control+ set

42141 - Steering connected with steering wheel, Fake Piston Engine, Speed Transmission Gearbox (maybe)

42130 - Steering, Suspension, Fake Piston Engine, 6-8 speed gearbox.

Excited for the revealing of the BMW motorcycle as well.

msk6003 Opposite to your prediction, I hope that the next 1:8 scale supercar won't be the Audi R8. The R8 isn't that interesting to me anymore and also the last two sets have been incredibly expensive hypercars, hoping it's a Koenigsegg because of the Jesko Speed Champions set.

(Cough cough, Gemera)

I don't think it'll be a Koenigsegg for the 1:8 model. (but I'd like to be wrong)

It is a flagship, so the car brand need to speak to people, instead of being a more confidential company, that most people never heard of.

One thing interesting about the past models as well, Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini, are all part of the Volkswagen group.

Rimac has links to Bugatti and could be good, but again too confidential I think.

And Rimac's are single-speed electrics (I'm pretty sure they're single-speed, I'll say at most a two-speed), which would make for a very boring model mechanically. I certainly hope Lego doesn't plan to remove transmissions from their 1:8 supercars anytime soon! That's about all the complexity they've got!

While I like the complex gearboxes in Lego vehicles, it's not that fun IMHO to play with. I prefer remote control models with no gearbox. I have a gearbox in my current MOC and even though I enjoy the complexity and realism, having no gearbox adds simplicity and room.

I think a 1:8 Rimac would be really darn cool, it's a great chance for Lego to release a 1:8 scale car with Control+. The Sian set was almost $400, and the CAT bulldozer dethroned it with its $450 price tag. Other than Control+ I'm begging to see what Lego can add to a 1:8 scale car that costs $150 more than 2016's Porsche.

1:8 C+ car is good idea and I want see one but it will be terribly slow.

And outside volkswagen, I want see benz SLS AMG in 1:8 supercar set.

If LEGO launches a 1:8 supercar with remote control instead of a gearbox, people will complain that if they wanted a big RC car, they'd get a Tamiya or some such brand.

Which is true. I can also get any one of the Chinese counterfeit Technic brands which sell 1:8 RC cars. But why does it have to be either RC or mechanically accurate, why cant it be both? Sure it's not great with the current gearbox parts Technic has, but with a more realistic gearbox system they could easily have an RC 1:8 car that's mechanically realistic and interesting.

Look like same size as the Ducati…

It really doesn’t. If you have seen the picture, just compare the rear brake disk to the wheel. That’s the same part as in he Ducati. If you look in front a bigger version of that part has also been made.

Exactly, that’s the reason why I said it look like same size as Ducati at first look.

But the German product description was saying it has 45.5cm long…. Hmmm just doesn’t make sense at the moment

It is 100% normal. Look at the real bike and you will find that the proportions are perfect.

Ducati disk brake to the rear new larger one to the front.
