Future Set Wishes and Speculation

To me, the best celebration would be a modernised version of a classic set... but I can't decide which one I'd personally prefer.

A proper tractor and forklift are long overdue...

I have a genuine wish for next year. For the 40th anniversary of technic, Lego came out with a 3L beam with the number 40 on it. I wish they continue this "trend" (of a single sample :D) and next year they come out with a 4L beam with the number 50 on it :D I hope you get where I'm going with this.. Come on TLG, it's time! We all could use that beam for so many things!

If they ever started doing even length beams in addition to the odd ones, they would probably be color coded so as to not be confused for the "standard" odd length beams, meaning they would be made in only a single color not yet used

Oh, that one is easy, the 98959: Motor set :D

They already started it, the 2L beam exists! And 4-6L thin beams too, so.. A 6L would also be really useful, right now I'm having a build that would really need a 6L beam, in a position where strong structural support is required, so thin beams would not really cut it, and a 7L is just too long..

But to your point, if they really want to, they can actually color code them in a set to differentiate better from other lengths, just as they actually often do now with odd lengths as well. That does not need a globally unique color, just one that different from the 5L and the 7L in a given set.

All of them, obviously.

That'd be even better, of course, but I'm not holding my hopes that high.

Be careful what you wish for. An evil wish master might say "A modernised version of the space shuttle you say? Right then, let's have a bunch of bright red, blue and yellow visible, let's not have a micro motor, let's not have intricate and varied gear reductions and belt drives, and let's make it a car! You did ask for modernised right?"

Whatever it's going to be, I'm fully expecting to be disappointed so evil genie has no hold over me on this matter

True, I guess I tend to see the 2L beam more like a connector. I was thinking of this like a potential thing with color coded even beams in the way they do axles, hopefully it came across that it was intended for fun
