2026 Technic Sets Discussion

[Satisfied]

There are actually two masonry packages this year, it seems that the number of sets is increasing

Since I am a LEGO cars fan, this is shaping to be another great year 

[Ngoc Nguyen]

42227 Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon SUV has more parts than 42122 Jeep® Wrangler (665 parts), so hopefully it's not a 42122 reskin.  But I can't imagine what new features can be done to the previous iteration. Maybe new tires? Or maybe the front suspensions of the Bronco?

There's a remote possibility that it may have a new kind of CV joint that allows a compact combination of differential drive and steer for a 15L width model. That would be groundbreaking. 

Of course there's also another remote possibility that it will simply be a 42122 reskin...

So many sets, which month did they start selling

Jeeps have live axle suspension, so implementing drive, steering and suspension would be actually easier.

There's no way it will have live axle suspension at that scale.

42228 18+ $229.99

Most likely another 1:8 scale F1

Puh, gladly we get more cars!

I hesitated for a moment and feared that TLG could give us more of those ugly technical construction machinery with actual functions. Steering and fake engines was always the way to go!

I mean, likely not, but they put real effort into the Bronco front suspension, and they've made lots of nice compact suspension parts lately, so I wouldn't rule it out entirely

Maybe live axle suspension for the rear axle only, that would be cool.

Now this is interesting! First of all, I'm both really happy and surprised at the same time that they redo it with such a short time gap, and very probably at the same scale. Wonder why they redo it? Did 42122 receive so much criticism in terms of looks / poor functions that they feel the need? And why didn't they go for a bigger scale this time? Probably they would like to make a complete lineup of off-roaders at this scale, the same way as the small scale supercars lineup? That is quite positive actually.

As for the suspension, I actually agree that we might see some interesting development here. Agree that Jeeps are known for keeping both live axles, so I'd expect that this would not be a reskin of the Bronco, but rather have a live axle at the front. Though I'd agree that driven front axle would be too much, even though it is not impossible, but not with a proper differential/frame. But I'd like to see at least a more proper rear live axle as well, maybe a non-driven front live axle.

Also, what I think would be really timely for Lego, and what really shows to be a bottleneck in the suspension of these models are the springs. Somehow, these springs are just too bulky for these models, hard to place in such small vertical space. Some alternative mounting technique would be useful.

Here are summer wave sets:).

It must be the July wave. I bet 2 of them are cars.

It's always interesting seeing these jumps in numbers mid-year.

The numbering intervals are so far apart

A large jump in numbering usually signifies a recolor of an old car set, such as Bugatti Bolide (42151 - 42162), Lamborghini Huracan (42161 - 42196), Koenigsegg Jesko (42173 - 42184). 

Among the cars released in this year, the Aston Martin and the Ferrari FXX K seem to be possible candidates for a recolor. The Chevrolet already has its recolor, while the Toyota Supra probably has to stay in orange.

I agree, although that would imply that the remaining numbers get filled up which I highly doubt :D (seeing last year's 42184 and 42196). I know, nothing is written in stone, but it's still an unusal way of numbering.

Jumping like this would be a waste of numbering, wouldn't it

I'm thinking we're going to get the SUV version rather than another open-top version.

Same car with a roof, hope I'm wrong though

[Paul B Technic]

If they can make the "new" 42122 as good as 42213, I will be very happy.

[Auroralampinen]

Ok, if you allready hated c+ system. Well in 2026 your worst nightmares will come to reality;). Because the lego smart play system will be included in technic sets:). 

[2GodBDGlory]

Huh, interesting. It doesn't look like a replacement for a full-on Technic motor system, so hopefully it won't be any worse than adding a few additional (and probably unwelcome) interactive features to some Technic models, rather than replacing something else.

[pleegwat]

Combining that with traditional technic motors could lead to some interesting robotics possibilities. In theory, at least.

[AVCampos]

My concern with motors is the power draw: either each one is a large unit with its own battery that has to be independently charged, or we go with separate motors and power like TLG has been doing for decades.
