Interesting... Perhaps they will have 3 or even 4 (every quarter) waves?! I’m not against it, to be honest. 

In reality there are 3 waves already: the usual Jan one, the usual Aug one, and the oft-forgotten Dec one. I wouldn't be surprised if TLG is to take some sets in the Aug wave and release them earlier, like in June.

In Vietnamese we have one word for both loader and excavator: "scooping machine". Makes me wonder whether the translations into VNmese are right or wrong.

Or maybe it's Schrodinger translations.

Perhaps catalog printing companies have Tarzan as translator  due to economy...

Bugatti was released in May or June, so can we consider a spring wave?

The december sets are the next years sets.

You mean the set is in a dual mode, both the excavator and loader exists, until you open the box and see for your self which one it is? ?

I mean since "scooping machine" can refers to either an excavator or a loader, translating either of them into "scooping machine" in Vietnamese is both right and wrong .

But your interpretation makes sense as well and I like it haha.

I'm not completely sure, but it seems like the two sets I mentioned are earlier than August release and there might be something for August not known yet.

It has been mentioned briefly

No, definitely not; new xl sprocket are making me curious what we can expect in Summer time...

[Sjoemie himself]

Hoping they will make the XL sprocket in black.. got some agricultural equipment in mind that could use this sprocket.

[Dylan M]

As I think they will not make two sets with the same  NEW pieces in the same year! Knowing that pieces is the important  one ?

[AVCampos]

Why not? This one, for example, appeared in more than one set in its debut year.

[Dylan M]

Ahhmm well I'm saying for the "Important one" you know like major pieces...??

[Bartybum]

I've never seen any reason for not having more than one occurrence of the same new piece

[Dylan M]

...idea...Big Idea ? ... for using that "Important New Pieces "... 

one Big idea at a time...

If TLG can use it in multiple sets, they will use it in multiple sets. There is no valid reason not to. There  will be a big excavator coming this year. Mark my words

Jim saw the catalogue!!!!!

That won’t happen this year. Given the fact that TLG likes to minimize the parts used per range of sets. But maybe next year.

Most definitely not. I don’t have a friend of a friend.

But there have been rumors. I predicted a Bulldozer or Excavator without these rumors and now I’m semi-convinced it will be the Excavator.

That is not impossible, so let's be (nicely) surprised in few months   ...

I do hope so... fingers are firmly crossed. There is something very enjoyable about building that type of model (BWE, rough terrain crain etc)... it feels like its technics natural home.

Indeed, it is almost middle of January. If TLC sticks to policy - no photos, at least we will have information, and that is something.
