Neither of them has a part count close to 2000 parts. An alternative model of 42108 in the form of an American style tow truck with three rear axles has a piece count of 1171 https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-43434/timtimgo/42108-american-tow-truck-alternate-build/#details 42098 has 2493 parts, and was the same price, and 42112 ans 42108 were smaller than 42098, and cheaper.

Well, it may a be a different brand - nowadays many European companies consumed the America truck vendors, so it could be (if licensed, for sure, not a generic truck): Mack (again). Granite may easily carry heavy equipment. Or... the Rubber Duck? Volvo (they have a VNL models for US market but they are not "classic" ones; however the Anthem is not "classic" too) Freightliner (Daimler AG) Peterbilt/Kenworth (read: Paccar trucks) as far as I know don't have license deals with TLG.

Technicallism Posted January 15 This set is purely lego designer own creation, not any existing or new license set. Let’s stick back to the topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Technicallism Posted January 15 62.4x20 tyre was lastly used at 42079 on 2018. I believe this is the set that to use it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canuckster Posted January 17 Lego ideas Scania just achieved 10000 support, wonder if we'll see it this year. I mean this to me seems like a slam dunk to become a set. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/578cb75e-b72c-48a1-9686-ca35fd659d1b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLG designers are going to make their own version of it and generally development of a set takes at least a year, maybe two. And no Technic build has ever been accepted into Ideas so I won't be holding my breath anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it will be in the same line as 42078 & 42098 trucks. Both these sets have a high part count due to the trailer/cargo. Would be nice to have a tow truck in this scale as I believe 42008 is a bit small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be nice to have a tow truck in this scale as I believe 42008 is a bit small. 42008 was a kind of pre-49.5 trucks, as had smaller tires, but was amazing in scope of the functions (not so many sets had PF + Pneumatic functions) and was a great resource set. I'm looking forward to to see it in the same scale, as I believe the model will come more detailed and with more detailed cargo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mpj Posted January 24 Not sure if it is a "path" but it looks that all recent trucks with a 49.5 tires have a code ending with "8"... 42078 42098 42108 42128... ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm convinced we'll get it in this set. Isn’t €150 a bit cheap for a motorized set? I mean, 42098 was the same price and everything was manual control, and 42078 same thing.
