Uh, let me guess it would have 49,5 mm wheels?

Having the same price as 42108 (still can't stop typing them as 420<something> ), 62.4-tires scale could make very "empty", I afraid.

However, in case if (for some reason - we still don't know the details) it comes like a self-loading cement mixer rather the truck with a mixer, those wheels could be reasonable:

68.7 x 27 would be even better, but most likely 49.5 based on price

This is the first time I've encountered such a bizarre contraption. This thing can very well be the B model. If (big if) there is gonna be a B model...

Probably won't be.

Just read the wiki article about cement mixers... there are really strange vehicles out there I've never seen before...

From what I know, this type is mainly built for the US market.

I think the mixing drum will be attached to the new 28z gear

Too big scale for not a flagship, maybe. Will see soon :)

So Zusammengebaut just confirmed the concrete mixer.

42112 concrete mixer truck , 99.99 euros, release in August

I was expecting this model to be the Volvo branded model, not the offroad hauler.  Either way, hopefully its a good one!

According to Henry (youtube-channel "Klemmbausteinlyrik"), the drum will be a single piece and be able to function like a real one. So there should be a cork screw within and depending on rotation, push out little pieces of cement.

One piece??? I really hope not. It will look like a Brüder toy truck...

Talk about a single-use part.

Hi, I'm nearly back from Nuremberg and wrote down all my experiences at https://www.lc-jrx.com/en/2020/01/28/news/lego-technic-summer-sets-2020-552.htm

I'm really curious how the mixing drum is made.

two moulded parts with internal screw conveyor

Well, I think we did 3 out of 5: 49.5 wheels, moulded drum and manual/driven drum rotation.

So, if still the drum is moulded... there are two possible B-models (if it is, for sure):

• Another mixer
• Snowplow.... Really, if the drum is rectangular enough, its inner "worming" could be taken as an "auger snowplow".

Is the cabin an EU "cabover" or NA "nosed" one? I suspect the first option...

This is the only set that I expect to have a B model.

The B model can be a truck with a mixer trailer. Most truck sets have B models like that.

Yep, it also would be strange to build something else having 8 wheels... 4-wheeled truck + 4-wheeled trailer. It could be like 42043 Arocs or nowdays C-models for 42098 - the same truck turned into a prime mover (tractor) with a shorter wheelbase and two axles and the payload moved to a semitrailer. Easy to rebuild, better for play (truck+trailer is always funnier than a rigid truck).

Child friendly model of a four-axle concrete mixer. The truck is 15 studs wide and thus slightly smaller than last year’s car transporter (LEGO® Technic 42098). The wheels are fitted with 49.5×20 tyres.

Following it, I would say it strongly reminds me that @mpj's model:

@jrx Does the model have the 5x11 panel in dark blue?

[Timorzelorzworz]

which color is the mixing drum mold?

[Gzynek2323]

I like what I see, dual color drum (in white and yellow)

4 axels, similar steering to Arocs

Wait do you have pictures?

I thought we do not discuss pictures on this forum, just candy
