What do you think the 2011 Technic flagship should be?

As long as we're speculating on what "Cruiser" means, how about a Vista Cruiser!

LOL. I actually was thinking the same thing because I loved watching That 70's Show

Just as long as it's not one of these!:

Arrggh all you guys Europeans are so lucky..i've been wanting to attend that Toyfair! My wife will be visting Europe but in March..sigh. In the meantime I'll get a few locally available sets. I've been eyeballing the 8265 Loader, to assist my 8043 shoving Lego bricks around my work desk

The toy fair (Nürnberg) is for business visitors only. You can't attend as a regular visitor. I have been to it though, and it's really huge.

I think there might not be any top-Technic set in 2011. Haven't seen anything about one yet.

I think a lowloader would be great. It'll save me the trouble of having to MOC one for my 8043.

And why do you think that?

All the flagshipmodels (8297, 8258 and 8043) have been presented there in the last three years....

My wishes are:

Jet plane

Helicopter

Space Shuttle

Sweeper

Walking Excavator

Scraper

Asphalt finisher

Biplane

[BasOne]

Well....

Thinking about a new excavator, how about the Demag HD800

But what i'd realy like to see, bisides the return of the Technic figures, would be technic Sci-Fi models.

All technic models are 'real' models, i'd like to see a technic space theme or something like this in technic:

Besides of that, these were all released in the second half. And I haven't seen pictures of the second half yet.

@Blakbird: maybe it depends on the person what is recognizable. I was only a few years old when I saw a sideloader (and saw it for many times) and didn't see a telehandler before I was 12. But I have to admit, this would be more suitable as an AFOL moc subject, than recognizable for the average kid.

Well, from 2005 until now every uneven year there was a big TECHNIC set, studded and studless combined. I'll cross my fingers and hope they will continue this...

unimog u400

[davidmull]

As seen in other tread from the 2h2011 pics the unimog looks great but does anyone think it is the flagship?

[Zerobricks]

It has to be, its the largest of the lot.
