There has to be a 1:8 scale car as 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of UCS Car lineup. Ah, I become nostalgic, the Porsche, the wrong gearbox sequence, the dedumos and jb70 gang here in EB. Good ol days, the 2026 set for sure wont have such amount of buzz, not even a quarter I think!

Nothing beats the excitement for the revelation of every single set of 2016 2H.

2026 will be the same as 2024, only different shell (my speculation).  TLG just started to milk these new gearbox parts.

Can't say the same for 1:5 motorbikes though, partly because there aren't that many superbike brands.

Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW, Aprilia, MV Augusta, KTM just off the top of my head all make superbikes

WOW, the Porsche was one of the first sets I bought when I started getting back into Lego as an adult. I hadn't thought about it, but where did that time go? :)

I remember having the Porsche review ready and everybody was waiting for the clock to turn to midnight, so I could publish the review! The good old days. 

I definitely don't want to do reviews anymore, so it's all fine now, but I do remember the days....and that day was fun.

Nowadays, it's 99% about cars in Technic and I haven't have the urge (besides two F1 cars to complete my collection) to buy new Technic sets. I really hope there will be a new set scratching my itch.

Fun fact: The upcoming 42236 Ford Mustang as an addition to the released 42223 Ford GT shares the same 3 digits in parts count. 973 to 793.

This means nothing.

According to faniklockow.pl, the 42239 Batmobile will have 719 pieces. It also mentions remote controlling but I highly doubt.

Could be possible with the all-in-on hub.

The App-controlled batmobile had only 316 pieces.

That was a System build though, Technic builds have inherently more parts due to pins. But its true that RC cars are entirely possible even with small amount of parts and 719 is more than enough, especially with the all-in-one hub.
