How pissed would everyone be if the RC car turned out to be a Reliant Regal?

Well come on, it'd be something different. 

I don’t know about the Regal but I’d be stoked if it were to be the car it donated bits of its running gear to, the Bond Bug. I had a 750ES for a year or so and it was a terrific little thing.

A LEGO Technic Bond Bug? Now that really would be something different

Not at all? I mean, who doesn't like small, unstable, british microcars?

Mini Xerion. Sold.

[Jockos]

I'm sold, too

[Technicallism]

Hardly to believe that 1H flagship RC licensed car in just 463 pieces.... hmmmmm

Can’t wait the mobile crane, lastly recalled me of 8421.... hope this on par

So 42111 to 42115 is 2H set?

Yes.

There's a set from unknown theme that I suppose might be Mindstorms. Here's why: nice set number (51515) which is completely one-off and 10+ age rating.

42105 "Ultimate" sounds promissing, better start stuffing my piggy bank and make some space next to the Chiron.

Im curious about 42107, "2w" to me suggests 2 wheels, but range-wise that would make it a bigger motorcycle then the BMW, which imho was already pushing it in terms of part-count for a motorcycle.

Could be a motorbike with a sidecar.

It could use new rims from Harley Davidson Fatboy...

Well it is small set like this

[Ngoc Nguyen]

A 1H RC flagship with licensed and only 463 pieces 

42108 is most likely similar in scale with 8053 Mobile Crane (1289 pieces). But then, I have a sense that it's gonna be somewhat unusual. When the info about 42094 Tracked Loader was out, no one thought it would end up being a weird futuristic electric-run log grapple loader with unworkable claws, triangular tracks, rotating cabin, and a two-speed winch gearbox. It's like 42094 has the features that most real life Tracked Loaders don't, and don't have what most real life Tracked Loaders do. I suspect the same will be with this upcoming Mobile Crane.

I'm hoping for smaller tractor tires for the Mini Xerion. It reminds me of the same situation in 2012. Flagship 2011 is the Unimog. At the beginning of 2012, the smallest set is 9390 Mini Tow Truck, but it was plain as daylight it was a mini Unimog with less than 100 parts.

I would love to see the relationship with BMW continue by having the new S1000RR as a set. The new Harley rear tire would look great on a sport bike.

For mini Xerion I expect something like this

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=60181-1

...with steering and manual rear graping arm...

It could be great if there will be Lego version of R18 concept BMW bike:

It is a crane Mobile

Are the 42111 and 42115 supposed to be 1H sets too? It seems too soon to have another supercar!

What does Entertainer means?
