Wheels with pins? So we will get ANOTHER wheel hub? Like they cannot decide which one to use... I think that the increased part count would be used for system-parts shaping

I noticed that too! 4wd hubs!

[allanp]

The Porsche hubs could already be used for 4wd. So maybe we get bigger CV joints for greater torque and steering angles?

Yes they ARE nice 

[Huaojozu]

Oh God, that 42082 parts count. Considering BWE is more 3000 ish (without the truck and the "soil"), this will be one MONSTER of a build. I bought nothing in 2017 - in hindsight that was smart as all that budget can go towards the AMAZING 2018.

[Jockos]

From year to year, Technic sets become bigger and bigger, and I'm happier and happier knowing that the part count is freaking high, so as the prices, which is sad...

[Thirdwigg]

I am starting to think the only way I get any of these is with Rebrick or TC contest. Those prices!

if these RRP are correct, I think it is fair to say, LEGO calmed down (put wet clothes on the forehead) after 2017 (especially 42070). Considering waiting just a few months (or weeks) usually allows you to buy way under RRP, to pay like 160-180eur for 4000+ 42082 crane or aproxx sub 100eur for Forrest Harvestor does not seems unreasonable.

So, the sets reconsidered.

42079 Yellow and dark blue, nice looks and boom. Price: 70?

42080 Hoshposh green, orange, grey, yellow, red, and bleh. Only a parts pack. Price: 130-

42081 Yellow, grey, black, and red. Nice bucket, wheels, and drone! Price 120-

42082 Red, black, grey, and maybe. 42070 over again, too big, too much sloppy. Price: 229-

42083 Not enough known. Price 359-!

[Jockos]

I'm wondering when will a Technic set surpass 75192 in part count?

[Techniccrack]

Bugatti....

voila

[Jurss]

Who are you...?  

No, it was a logical guess I agreed with.

OMG the new sets this year from Lego Technic range are getting me very excited

The Bugatti Rims look stunning, and the flagship set this year looks incredible. Why in earth was this line up not done for the 40th Anniversary? I'm getting very impressed by this years H1 - H2 and ultimate set line up.

Cool!

What is officially? Do you have a link to a source or something?
(Probably toy fair, but I'd like to see some actual info)

That's sort of giving us the finger w.r.t. 42070 pricing. With both hands.

I still don't understand how that set ever happened at the price it did, but that's off topic. 230'ish for 4000 parts is back to 'normality'.
