We need a proper backhoe, a telehandler and a forklift that don't cost more than 250€ and have proper pneumatic/motor functions.

We don't need more cars with barely any function, or 450€ cars with a gearbox that can't be seen. It's that easy. I don't get what they're doing.

It is very simple, they are making sets which masses are buying

And forklift and a telehandler at that price? I would agree. But a backhoe? I wouldn't want to tie the designers hands by limiting them to a price point, not for a proper, flagship of flagships, fully pneumatic JCB backhoe. Make is as big and as costly as it needs to be. The bucket wheel excavator had to be quite big t do what it does, and I think a properly good backhoe would be the same. While 8455 is a legend, it does miss out many functions of a JCB, such as an opening/closing front bucket, rear side shift, rear telescoping boom, pendular front axle and 4 wheel drive. A super powerful motorized compressor would also be very nice (one farty little motor pump ain't gonna cut it! It's functions need speed and POWAH to replicate the real thing) At a price of 250, I think they'd have to leave out too much potential.

You can already get a backhoe with all of those functions minus the boom in the scale of CLAAS tractor tires at the cost of around ~ 200$. There's no need for a motorized compressor, so the remaining 50$ can totally go to the rear digging arm. Therefore it's totally possible for TLG to produce a fully functional pneumatic backhoe at 250$. It's just that I'm not sure they would do it.

Alternate model of 42157. Except the digging arm and the outriggers it has everything that you may think of for a backhoe. It even has 3 steering modes.

Oh... I didn't read it's missing the digging arm.  I'd like something like 8455, but they're too expensive used.

If you need digging arm mine has it.

Guys you are hilarious! Fantastic work BTW, also for @Ngoc Nguyen! I always wonder why people are mad about Lego not producing this or that. While the solution is just a few bugs and a download away.:wink:

I’d pay out the nose for a proper RC backhoe.  It doesn’t even have to be pneumatic.  That, or a function loaded tow truck, are about the only technic models I’d be willing to pay more than $250-$300 USD for.  

I don’t care about the cars and motorcycles, except they do have some nice assortment of panels.  From a technical perspective though, I find construction equipment more interesting.

I am not really into construction machinery, but a 42070 remaster of sorts would be cool, with RC operated everything and actual suspension If I have parts and time to do it, I will, although I am more focused on buwizz camp next year and faster models.

Another car, I can't get more excited than this. I bet it will be the same scale as supra to pump the sales, a lot of people will  have to buy both now

Of course, if I may speak in name of members who are fan of Technic Cars, (reliable) source would be nice...

If Nissan Skyline GT-R is coming, I hope there will finally be a 3x7 panel in LBG. A MOC of mine will really appreciate that part.

I hope that your wish comes true buddy; my (partial) wish could becam reality in time about Christmass.
