Some Chinese company has bought backhoe program from them (if I'm not mistaking)

Everything is possible, but if I were Volvo, I would not invest on a model that is no more in my product range

reasonable thinking 

[Jundis]

My guess for the backhoe still is JCB 5CX with it's similar sized tires, or an unbranded model of the same style. A pneumatic model would be highly welcomed, as we just had the new pneumatic valve only in the 42080 harvester so far.

Don't raise my hopes only to have them dashed!

I wonder if the new valve for the harvester was just something they thought would be cool to release (which is cool!) or if they had a future model in mind for it, like they knew there would be a model that had to have a lot of valves so they released this new valve which can be stacked closer together. If the rumour of a backhoe is true it wouldn't surprise me if it was in development since 42080 was also in development  as they are rather tricky to get right.

I would have thought TLG had another model in mind. I know it's not much of a comparison, but I did think that the small lime panels in 42080 would remain unique and they clearly have not. Will it be the same story for the valves...?

I want more Claas. I love my Xerion so much.  I wish they would make another harvester.

Let's be careful not to turn this into a wishlist topic.

Sorry.  I just get so excited sometimes.

[Jundis]

I am a little bit confused by some models, if I look at the price list:

LEGO Technic 42107 „2W“: 59,99 Euro: --> Fits for a bigger licenced motorcycle, as BMW was 50€ for 600 parts...

LEGO Technic 42111 „Entertainer“: 99,99 Euro --> Too cheap for a vehicle with PU-components or one in the size of the 42096 but to pricy for only 1 car in the corvette size..., maybe 2 cars from F&F (Black Charger and Orange Supra)?

LEGO Technic 42112 Betonmischer: 99,99 Euro --> cement mixer

LEGO Technic 42113 „Air“: 129,99 Euro --> I actually like the idea of a top gear jet, but would collide with the "no war toys" pseudo-policy of TLG :-)

LEGO Technic 42114 „2HY Flagship“: 249,99 Euro --> Backhoe, fully functionalized with pneumatics and maybe even controllable? 

LEGO Technic 42115 „Ultimate“: 379,99 Euro --> Another supercar - bugatti-successor?

Actually whatever comes, this really will be way better than the 1HY :-)

@Jundis

AFAIK, there is no solid proof 42107 is a motorcycle, other then people interpreting "2w" as "2 wheels", it could be anything from "2 wings" to whatever

42111 could be 42077 sized, although licensing would make that hard i guess if it is indeed a F&F set.

Creator's forum was discussing a rumor that the Charger may come as one of the next Expert models but then the discussion has stopped. So, who knows 

[Jockos]

As a kind of off topic: there might be actually a F&F set in Technic or Creator, because in Hungary there's a collectable magazine series of building the Dodge Charger. It seems that they really pumping the franchise 

[kbalage]

@Jockos that's a weird subscription I saw it... I'm not sure people realize that they'll pay around 800 € and will have to wait 2 years until they get all parts.

To stay on topic - 42077 was 100 €, 42096 is 150 € so I don't think any licensed car would fit in 100 € that has a similar scale.

2w = 2 worries

42111 entertainer was earlier mentioned as some kind of fairground mixer. I don't think it will have anything to do with F&F...

IIRC that was just speculation on our part. The F&F rumor seems to be consistent, and has even been reported on by a few blogs, even if there's no consensus on what theme it will be or exactly what car will come.

So we'll see  .

Don't worry guys. By August everything will be known
