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!

I got mine on Bricklink, so they probably are from 4 parted out Volvo Haulers... it is funny having more of a piece than the total ever released in sets, I've done it for a few other Technic parts as well (like black/titanium axle pins)

For some reason I have 8 of the fenders from 42110 and a tonne of olive green 5m beams. Its funny how these things happen...

Interesting news from Town subforum: You might have noticed that City's Explorer Train - 60470 is using Powered Up and comes with remote control. So Powered Up is still (relatively) alive. Not sure if that says anything about Powered Up in upcoming Technic sets...

Thats a great new train set indeed! A bit off-topic but I was wondering what the two new straight track pieces are

According to Bricktastic.nl, 42209 is not going to be the purpose-built Volvo L120, but the L120H Conversion model. Obviously I don't know how credible this is, but here it is anyway.

Here's the English translation if you don't know Dutch, or can't be arsed to run it through a translator:

Volvo fans can get started with two new sets this summer, including the LEGO Technic 42209 Volvo L120H Electric Conversion Loader. This 973-piece model will be released in the LEGO Shop on June 1, 2025 for €99.99. The Volvo L120H Electric Conversion Loader is an electric version of the L120H. It offers the same performance and productivity as its diesel counterpart, but with zero emissions and quieter operation. The electric drive system means lower energy consumption and reduced maintenance costs. The L120H Electric Conversion is especially suitable for urban construction sites and indoor work, where a cleaner, quieter machine is required.

The electric drive system

Oh, lovely. Using description of real machine directly for model will NOT EVER confuse people about this set having some motors.

[Jockos]

So, basically, not even a fake motor in it..?

This seems like they may just be separating the loader from the truck in the 42175 set?

No, it's different machine.

I'm not sure this will really be a problem

In germany, the 42121 was advertised as "Hydraulic excavator" ....

What I mean is I don't think people will get confused and buy something thinking they're getting something else. If they do they have only themselves to blame for not reading packaging

[Satisfied]

We'll be able to see pictures of the new product in a week

[Auroralampinen]

Here is new magazine set:) 

[Auroralampinen]

Well, i discovered, that the galaxus at website has the 42210 description. So it seems the 42210, will have all the bells and whistles. Like a gearbox and many more complex mechanisms. Now im really exited, after reading the product description:). 

And, also galaxus at website, has the product description for the 42208:).

[Timorzelorzworz]

Do not take this marketing bashing too serious. In the end these are two (boring) cars as usual.

"Promotes understanding of mechanical principles through complex construction" ... a working steering and piston engine as usual.

So much word salad, yet so little information about things like scale or functions.

With 1410 42210 seems to be a 1:12 scale and the 42208 1:16.

With 1410 pieces, this set offers a demanding building experience for adults and engineering enthusiasts

That piece of word salad somehow has made me slightly more interested into this set.

What do you ecpect from marketing? 

[Timorzelorzworz]

If the Valkyrie comes in green or finally dark green this should be an instant buy. A green car is missing in the Car Transporter Gang.

[AVCampos]

Isn't the 42138 transporter-scale?

(even though it's a pullback with no steering)

I think he means John Deere green

Yes, the regular green. This color is very rare in Technic. I hope for John-Deere-regular-green in the Valkyrie. Otherwise green is completely missing in the 2025 lineup.

[Oh_Hi_Mao]

I speculate Valkyrie will be Peugeot grey
