Technic 2019 Set Discussion

[kolbjha]

8860 was released in 1980. I think it's safe to say that 8859 was the flagship in 1981.

there was never a tractor flagship

..which is crazy, they offer a tonne of functionality and playability. And come in multiple form factors, instead we get 'supercar' re-hashed repeatedly.. same form factor over and over. (and they never have realistic suspension, why?! if they released one with proper antiroll bars and heave springs it wouldn't be so bad.. )

Agriculture in general is very neglected. And probably construction too, backhoe is a prime flagship material.

Phew. feel better for that! Off for chocy buscuit!!!

What about 8862?

That
Plus that it's worldwide used equipment and thus recognised by everyone on this planet.
Plus that it's not related to any form of religion or warcraft.

Well I have made several tractor versions with proper suspension. Truth is that they offer almost much possibilities like Unimog

But back to topic, for this year we are sure for two sets; spider crane and car transport truck.

Could be, why not...

I'm excited for the 42094 Tracked Loader. Technic construction sets are my favorite. It would be great if Technic came out with a solid looking Volvo Dump truck to complete the construction set or a steam roller.

We had Volvo dump truck as 42030 B model and next year is the year for Volvo licensed set if we follow pattern from past:

• 2014 Volvo loader
• 2016 Volvo excavator
• 2018 Volvo Zeux autonomous loader

That's all right, but what about this year's motorcycle?

You can always make C model with just 2 wheels 

Just joking, but there was some time without motorcycle (actually after BMW in 2017), but mostly (not always) in recent years they were part of 1st half wave

[Jockos]

I mean, since 2013 we got every 2nd year one bike in the first half. Now there isn't a single one...

Yes you are completely right...every odd year there was a bike

All this tractor love? No kid ever grew up wanting to be a farmer!

Flagship Fire Engine FTW Just sayin’.

I'll just ignore you said that 

Firetruck would be nice but I always dreamt of being an astronaut, sooo.. rocket and/or space shuttle??

Anyway not to go wayyy of topic, i'm curious what TLG will come up with. Huge excavator or something along those lines with use of the new sprocket would also be pretty awesome.

What I have noticed that fully RC flagship was in 2007, then in period 2010, 2012 and 2014; and then in 2017, so it is not 100℅ to base expectations on some pattern...but I have noticed some patterns mentioned in EB forum about sets with hooks etc...but 2019 awaits with summer surprises.

I know it's waaaaay less interesting than the 2H sets, but I have published reviews for the two pull-back racers.

42090 - Getaway Truck

42091 - Police Pursuit

Don't think it will be part of technic. As per my understanding, it will most likely be part of the Lego Movie series sets.

It's just another big statue model for promotions.

Info yes, pictures (I'm afraid) no

Yeah. At least piece count, colour, shape, functions, etc. Just the general things..
