[mpj]

New sets have been sent to reviewers, but they have not been yet officially presented 

We only have images taken from the Japanese catalogue

That's not really a new thing, reviewers usually get the sets before the announcement :) Last year we received the international catalogues a bit earlier, but they won't contain more information than the Japanese one. Since the sets are expected to be available on August 1st, retailers usually start sharing details 1 month prior that so you might expect more pics and information next week.

Looking forward to your reviews @Jim it seems like ages since you’ve done a Technic set

Thanks. I have been on the reviewing down-low for a while, but I am really looking forward to working on these reviews. It is indeed ages ago. 4x4 Crawler was my last review.

Really looking forward to these reviews @Jim . I already want the American tow truck, but the Zetros still may have it's surprises in terms of a realistic transmission and off road performance. Soon all will be revealed!

If I am not mistaken, I broke down the half-built model recently. Hoping you would forget 
(we are preparing for some renovation, so I need as less stuff lying around)

You can include a comparison with 42053 in your 42128 review

There are already video's with new catalogue for Europe and Cat and Ford are shadowed for October release.

[Ngoc Nguyen]

The 42131 shadow photo has been posted in its thread.

3 hours left until the Lego Con. Hopefully all official photos will be out, and we can remove the phrase in the brackets [ ] from the thread title.

Lego Con is well named, be prepared to be disappointed !!

It's 2 hours long and the first & only mention of a Technic product is for the Volvo 6 x 6 Dumper truck !!!

NO MENTION OF ANY FORTH COMING NEW TECHNIC MODELS.

Great!  But on what exactly?   Is this when @Sariel and others can release any reviews they have done on the Zetros and American Crane Truck?  Also, and I know all this information is elsewhere, but after mining the forum for the past 20 minutes I cannot seem to find it... when will be the release dates for the MB Zetros and the Semi Crane Truck.  Are they they same or different?
