C'mon, it is not so bad :P But of course I know what you mean :)

 

I prefer cement mixer over the plane, but it is just me.

Looking at the motorised functions label on the Osprey, that white blob is the new dumb battery box. Looks like it is indeed the same casing as the smart hub  ah well, not much to be done with the new unstackable cable plugs.

It also looks to me like there’s some sort of black joystick/lever towards the tail of the tiltrotor

The osprey looks like a must have.

Hunted down the pictures via picbear (bit bigger ones) - MODs please feel free to remove, if inappropriate.

Agreed, it seems like a very long set 

That pic of the A60H suddenly makes me worried there won’t be suspension of any kind

That's why I shouldn't type on phone, stupid autocorrect.

42113 seems to have the 3x13 curved panel and the new SIAN tapered panels in DBG, but also the 3x5 curved panels (in the tail).

I guess the bottom half of the cementmixer is normal blue, with the top half dark blue. Quite a nice combo with that white stripe inbetween. And it has the biscuit piece in white.

It’s definitely interesting. My brain keeps telling me there’s something weirdly Chinese about this livery, but I have no idea why I think that.

[Zerobricks]

Nice to see biscuit pieces in white and a lot opanels in Dark Bluish Gray.

Also the theory of the dumb battery box is now confirmed.

The rotors appear to be black which is good, because it's a neutral color.

I expect Osprey to have use a gearbox to switch between:

- Landing gear

- Tilting of the engines

- Openable rear hatch

- Rotors

If only Osprey would have it in dark bluish gray 

[suffocation]

Is that orange (42056) on the Osprey?

[Zerobricks]

I just noticed Volvo has a Dark Bluish Gray panel as a dashboard in the cabin. It looks like one of the fenders.

[dabo]

I only see myself buying the Ducati of all the 2020 sets. I hope 2021 delivers more interesting sets.

Good catch. Looks like RSR size.

According to https://www.lc-jrx.com/en/2020/01/28/news/lego-technic-summer-sets-2020-552.html, it's the Mudguard Arched 9 x 2 x 3, 42531, light bluish grey

[AMX]

I really like the osprey, but I don’t see my self getting it because of the Sián  

[Touc4nx]

there is also the comeback of these : 
In White and blue respectively absent since 18 and 9 years.

[Timorzelorzworz]

The 42112 has 13 studs wide cabin (15 with mudguards in total). This is great and good to see the "older" truck scale is coming back, matching 42008 or 42024 perfectly, asuming that is Alfreds work

Is there a new battery block in the helicopter?

Otherwise I don't understand how they are going to combine a smartphone and manual gearbox.

According to the thread about the Osprey, it does include a Control+ hub as well as a motor.

[Timorzelorzworz]

Finally 5L beam in earth blue (dark blue)

Does a motor run when having been connected to the Control+ hub without a smartphone?

[Amoreternum]

Not too familiar with the Control+ or even Powered Up stuff, but as far as I know, you need a Smartphone or a remote to access the hub. Without one of these, I don't think the hub puts out any kind of signal to the motor, so nothing would happen - but someone correct me if I'mwrong, really uncertain about this.

Yes this is what I'm concerned about.
