Zerobricks Posted December 26, 2025 Posted December 26, 2025 So we came a full circle? The new F1 lineup started with the Mclaren. I for one finally hope to see different, wider tyres in the rear! Quote
Gzynek2323 Posted December 26, 2025 Posted December 26, 2025 I fully agree Lego needs to move up to the wider rear tires, especially considering we probably will get a lot more of these F1 large scale cars due to their collaboration with F1, two new teams joining in 26 Audi and Cadillac and due to new regulations the look and feel and the overall shape of the F1 cars changing in 2026 season Quote
mpj Posted January 3 Posted January 3 42239 The iconic batmobile from the Christopher Nolan movies. July release. Source: instagram. So the summer wave should include more than 3 sets! Quote

Lyichir Posted January 3 Posted January 3 A Technic Tumbler, eh? It'd be interesting if they found a way to integrate the way the front wheels separate and fold out to become the Batpod (something every Lego version of it so far lacks). Don't know if that's particularly likely, though, even at a large Technic scale—mechanically it would be hard to do while also making the wheelbase sturdy enough and could interfere with other functionality they might want to include.

Timorzelorzworz Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Would expect a June wave with 1:8 Supercar and two smaller sets and the August wave also with 3 sets. Following the release circle, there should also be a new 1:5 Motorcycle in August. Quote
Oh_Hi_Mao Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Question is are we getting any heavy duty machinery this year (2000+ parts). I would not be surprised if tumbler will be small scale model (car transporter scale) with Zetros tyres at the back. Quote

I would not be surprised if tumbler will be small scale model (car transporter scale) with Zetros tyres at the back. Car transporter style would probably have smaller tires overall, remember that car transporter scale is 15 studs wide, Zetros tires are 35mm (aproximatelly 4.5 studs and add ½ studs clearance between tire and chassis), sou you end up with just 5 studs chassis width - enough for 5 x 7 frame with differential...but remember Tumbler has double rear wheels...

Stereo Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) Well, if it was car transporter scale, it should be wider than the car transporter, not transported on it. Since it's bigger than most cars. The previous minifig Tumbler was about 14 studs wide with 4 of the 3-stud wide truck tires (which I hadn't realized have a truck tire tread until the GT40 got car tread ones).

Yes, don't know why so many cars suddenly appeared in 2026, all kinds of cars. Especially, F&F and Asphalt line up. As a car lover, playing with the same building process and functions (moving piston, HOG Steering, opening door and hoods) for a long time can easily get boring. Quote
Void_S Posted January 7 Posted January 7 2 hours ago, Chili said: 42229 Mitsubishi Eclipse Fast And Furious 42231 Dodge Charger Fast And Furious 42234 Viper GTS R 42236 Mustang Ford Source: Reddit I guess what scale they are? We had a Dodge Charger in the mid-scale already (the next after that the Car Transporter gang), so I suppose that they are still the Car Transporter gang-scaled this time, as the orange Supra was. As for Viper, I remember 8007 (or another number) - a Viper-looking car with wheel arches made of the flex axles, and the body shaping was made of modular panels (they were attached to the chassis via angled connectors)... May it be a new version? Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Will this be the year when the cars completely take over Technic? 4 cars for the summer wave, who wants that.... Quote
SNIPE Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I totally am not happy about this flipping 1:8 scale hypermuscle car, how will this possibly be technically interesting? Assuming its the viper or mustang we will now be getting all of the below: v10 or v8 engine👎 6 speed gearbox 👎 no adjustable spoiler 👎 regular opening door mechanism 👎 no 4WD/AWD 👎 no flappy paddle gearbox 👎 no adjustable ride height (MOCs/other brands only have this) 👎 no optional motorization (I bet) (although I heard a rumor on eurobricks that the large technic sets will now have powered up/Control+ upgrade👎 I actually like the Dodge Viper GTS-R but COME ON LEGO!.

It's unlikely that the Dodge Viper and Ford Mustang will be the 2026 1:8 scale supercar. This is because 42232 hasn't yet announced whether it will be a 1:8 supercar or a 1:5 bike as 18+ set. So far, the 1:8 supercars from European countries and it is “Hypercars” I'm guessing will be Keonigsegg, Pagani, and Aston Martin. If the Viper and Mustang are to meet the requirements of a 1:8 supercar, the Viper needs at least a Viper ACR and the Mustang needs a GTD to barely meet the requirements of a 1:8 car. Quote

Really? We complain about the supercars being too similar and uninteresting every time they get released, but as soon as they might release something completely different we complain about that as well? The P1 had a v8 engine, why is it a negative this time? A mustang could have a few mechanical features not yet seen in the 1:8 lineup… - front mounted engine. - McPherson suspension at the front. - live multilink axle/suspension at the rear. - could have manual gearbox dependent on model it’s based on. - completely different style bodywork to everything previously. Sounds pretty good and interesting to me... + I think one would look good with the current line-up... Although I agree with what @chili just wrote, I think it would be unlikely to be the 1:8 car Spoiler Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 8 Posted January 8 TLG really runs out of vehicles to make does it.... Quote
msk6003 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I know it isn't but who know... maybe batman tumbler is this year's 1:8. Quote

Because the 1989 batmobile 16+ had so many play features. And since this is technic. We could see a ton more of creative play features. So now my excitement kind of peaked:). Quote
