2024's Super Mario sets have been revealed on Brickset. Hopefully Technic isn't much further behind.

It seems that every 15 days new themes are anounced?!

I think the announces will be more common as we approach December. So in 2 weeks the January releases will be revealed.

I have also such feeling, but let us be (pleasently) surprized this time.

For some bizarre reason, I'm thinking the bulldozer is gonna be blue.

For the current situation the world is in, olive green with armored plates would be more fitting 

And we already had the 42071 in blue...

Yeah, that was five years ago and a completely different type of dozer, so it wouldn't be that repetitive - what would be repetitive would be doing it in yellow for the umpteenth time.

Plus, the "Heavy Duty" prefix makes me think that it's gonna be like previous small-scale dozers, but with an extra layer of details, like 42121.

I think it will be an homage to 42131 CAT D11 in the same colors.

Also a possibility.

We'll get more info on it as a City set has been leaked. It's really only a few days Technic leaks (or gets revealed), too.

It looks like the 42168 Deere might be in the background of the 60431 photo that is floating around online right now. If so, it looks like the rear tires are 37mm, which would match well enough with the 57mm tractor tire we have had for a while. Not much else is visible other than the rear fender and the unloading auger.

No trailer then?

EDIT: Here's the link.

Is that a new fender / fender flare piece? 

[Maaboo the Witch]

Looks like a large percentage of the set is comprised of System parts. I thought it was a City set before I noticed the wheel arches!

Guess it's gonna be to scale with 42136 then.

Is that fender not just this piece?

Should be this one.

In my eyes that tire looks like this. 37x14. It can fit on those windscreen fender. Like this.

But it is to small for technic sets. I think that picture is another city or some other set. Not technic.

I dunno. The exhaust is Technic, as are the shell panels on the rear section.

Dang it I also started confused. Bottom of those yellow boom-like thing looks like bottom of 1x bricks.

 

Ok after trying to find technic sets which has less than 600 total parts, I think 37x14 will very well fit on rear tire of john deere. Seems like those image is real.

Yes it looks like 42136 scale, just hope that Lego learned something from "overwhealming" roof solution from 42136.

Thanks for the (hyper)link

No more huge roof stickers please, TLG.

This is a first time that Technic got my attention, only one certain set. And it’s Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit set that I’m very curious…

Plz god, no. This would be such a waste... Also with these fenders, only a very limited steering angle would be possible.

With many system bricks, it's easy to achieve the rather high number of pieces in this small scale. 

I get and admire the idea of using same scale as 42136, although the dump trailer doesn't fit. Still I really hoped for a bigger model...

Looks like there's a pinhole at the edge of the wheel arch, so it might be a new part.

I can't see any pinhole, isn't it just a gap between parts?

It's to the rear of the harvester; looks like it's on the upper right corner of the arch.
