New angle connector in the new Botanicals 10347. It looks like the "2/3 snowflake" connector that appeared in the Corvette, with one of the axle holes chopped off:

This is an Ideas set review by RB. All the technical functions in this set look much more exciting than the most recent Technic labelled cars released so far. After the Ornithoptre this set impresses me most in terms of Non-Technic Lego sets.

For a while now there has been lots and lots of great Technic sets that are not labelled as Technic while vast majority of the sets with Technic label are technically dull and uninteresting...

This pretty much seems to be the way...

It does seem that both have converged towards the same thing - aesthetically interesting sets with just a couple mechanical functions. Save for very few large sets, Technic just seems to be an excuse to use a different building system. What's the point? Cram in more functions, start doing smaller pneumatic sets again, do more linkages, more suspension systems, ditch the encoder electronics and use stepper mechanisms (since that's all you ended up using the encoders for anyway...). It could be so much better if the small sets weren't just shoveling tarted up dross out the door.

Hmm i started to wonder maybe the june volvo loader chassis will be really similar to the skidder and this reusing of chassis is not that rare like 42096 and 42125 reused slightly the 42077 chassis:)

If you mean John Deere skidder, than not because Volvo (based on parts count) will be much smaller set...IMHO with 81.5mm tires from Audi, or even much smaller

Here is 42209 dimensions found on galaxus it

1280x1789.jpg

And here is 42210 dimensions found on same website:) 

Box dimensions?

It has 973 pieces...or is it made like this years dump truck - hollow?

...it is BTW the most interesting set for me this year...

That makes it a pretty small set, in comparison 42144 Material Handler is $150, 1400g, 835 pieces.  42173 Koenigsegg Jesko is $50, 995g, 801 pieces.  Maybe it has a single pneumatic function making the price higher but not to the extent of the Material Handler?  Or they realized the Handler was overpriced by at least $50 and reined it in a bit.

Something's not right here... only 2 dimensions and none of them makes any sense for me... even if they are swapped

The sets can't have these sizes with the weights.

As 42210 can be the same scale as 42154 I checked 42154's sizes on Brickset and 28.2 was present there, too. So these numbers are only box sizes. Which is good.

That was my first thought. @Maaboo the Witch thanks for Volvo L120 image from side.

The City constructions sets over the last couple years has been really impressive.  I’ve had more interest in those than I have most Technic sets lately. 

At this rate, city will become the "new technic" and technic will become "cars".

Wow its soo cool to see advancement in city stuff this summer city bulldozer will have straight 3 engine:) 

Funny, City has THE best Technic Set for around 60$. I wonder if 42213 Ford Bronco SUV can compete.

Nice find @Auroralampinen!
