Heck yeah, a 3 million piece life size I could put in my back yard! Motorized ofcourse!

If it comes with GFO pneumatics, a GFO compressor and motor to power them and a GFO physical remote controller, then I would indeed have a GFO smile on my face.

Y'know, sir actually would be REALLY interested in a motorized pneumatic excavator with motorized drive and slew. Gimme gearboxes and pneumatics pls, not boring direct drive functions

Hopefully the EC500 will come with a new larger-size excavator bucket. 

[Satisfied]

When can we see pictures of the new product

[Jundis]

Last year, we got official pics on 1st of May.

[Maaboo the Witch]

And the year before that. It's unlikely to change, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong on that.

According to the speculation from StoneWars, the Volvo Loader won't be pneumatic.... which I had actually hoped for ...  

Still, if Lego not completely butcher this model, this is a first day purchose.  

[AVCampos]

I keep forgetting... the Volvo loader is supposed to be the flagship, right? So, if it's not pneumatic, then very likely it'll be electric (PU or otherwise).

No. It's only 973 parts, which makes it very much mid-range. If anything, the Volvo EC500 is this year's flagship.

So there's still hope for a pneumatic flagship this year.

I secretly hope that the Volvo loader will be pneumatic. If not, then it must have some LAs which are quite a rare sight nowadays.

Yes i really hope they bring back the linear actuators because the L version only recent set was the cat bulldozer and the xl last set was the volvo 6x6 hauler basicaly every year between 2008-2018 we got at least one set with L linear actuators and 2019-2020 one set with xl actuators and last L actuator set was in 2021 cat so i wonder why lego dropped this iconic feature but while its sad the linear actuators are gone im happy the pneumatics strikes back like in 1900s because lego didn't have back then those linear actuators so it is kind of cool that lego has gone back to stone age and brought us more pneumatics sets like in 1900s:)

Please, would you be so kind to build proper sentences and use punctuation like everybody else does in this forum? Thanks a lot!

[NV Lego technic]

I would love to see a set with the small pneumatic pump, we haven't had any in the recent years.

Last years 42174 Emirates New Zealand has the small pump included as the last set but its unfortunately a bit underrated.

[NV Lego technic]

Oh, yes, I forgot... I kinda feel embarrassed right now because I kinda like the set, it is a nice break from the usual portfolio.

You shouldn't care. What they wrote was perfectly comprehensible if you even remotely understand English

Thank you for your nice words:) and yes im really sorry with my writing. Because dots and commas are my akilees heel. I have never learned how to use them propebly. And i struggle with this. And i have made some progress for dots. But not for the commas. I still struggle with them:(

Hey, LBG, my favorite!

I still love building cars with 4x of these:

and thinking about the fact that (had I not bought them direct from Lego), four 6x6 Volvo Haulers would have had to give up their dashboards to make it!

That is the straight one. But the picture (of the space vessel) shows the mudguards that are slightly curved on top.

Oh, yeah, I was aware of that! Just making a comment on a related part.
