Has anyone noticed that we have 4 tracked models this year? Two in 1H and two in 2H. This seems strange and have never done before.

After looking at the available material, I have decided that I'm going to buy the Car Transporter.

Does the spider crane have a ( black ) 3 x 7 beam in the boom?

[Touc4nx]

B-model of the car transporter looks quite nice, it makes me want to buy it just for B-model (and of course for dark-azure wheel arches)

neither set really interests me enough to warrant a purchase, but im intrigued by the car on the transporter set, the first thing that crussed my mind when i saw it was "nice camaro", while from the looks of it, it isnt even licensed. Lego should have sold this model as 42093, and leave that poor effort of a corvette as the side show for this transporter.

Then again, maybe this transporter being in the same scale is an easy way to get rid of some unsold corvettes to fill up their transporter.

On the plus side, we get the small wheel arch in both azure and red now, ill have to look into that scale of car, see if i can moc up something interesting

Indeed the headlight design gives it an uncanny resemblance to a Camaro.

I know you were distributing 2 candies. So does this post mean you have 2 more new candies to offer?

I warned about this just a few posts ago. Just send him a PM instead of asking here.

Next one can take a break!

42098 is a must for me.  Looks technically brilliant with all the mechanisms.  The only thing I am a bit disappointed about is that it seems there is no way to drive up on the truck itself without a trailer being connected.  Hope I am wrong.

You can't do that in real life either.

[Gzynek2323]

You got it Ngoc

I came across this video a while a go.  Now, it looks like a very close real version of 42098 (pneumatic vs mechanical)

No new tires on the 4x4  Let's hope these are still not final photos...

It looks the release date is 2019-8 for both!

[rm8]

shame, no suspension in the crawler, just oscilating axles. Downgrade in terms of authenticity. But I can agree - this is cheaper to use existing 6,5 shock hard absorbers, than returning to long 9,5 shocks. Especially when so many new electronics used

Seems logical these are final pictures. Doesn’t make sense to reprint brochures.

The 4x4 looks awesome btw! Way better than the prelim pic.

I do see a red spring, right?

 yes, red hard shocks.

Suspension based on  oscilating axle using turntable have less movemnet aplitude, so they can save so budget and use small shock absorbers, comapring to 9398, where free axles based on free rotating ball joints need more shock absorber working amplitude.

sad, but I can uderstand such decision.

added later: looks like front suspension (at least) is not just solid axle, but hybrid: independent+solid

[Jockos]

Sweeeeeet! now that's what I call crazy though they should've flipped that turntable..I don't like its grey pops out that much at the front...
