Actually, we've been getting tan Technic parts, but only usually in pallets for forklifts. But indeed tan as a main body colour for a model hasn't been done yet.

Tan would be nice too

[allanp]

Tan has also appeared in Technic star wars sets.

I don't think the McLaren will be orange. My guess is that it'll be purple, not that I'm very excited for that colour, but there's been a fair few Technic parts recoloured purple lately. I'd prefer something more luxurious to match the high price tag it'll have, like a metallic colour. Regular purple, nah, but a metallic deep purple, that could look sexy AF! Though even better would be a metallic dark red (someone resprayed the big Technic Ferrari that colour and it looks worth the RRP of the set) or a metallic dark blue, a metallic olive (like 8466) or even a gun metal grey would look fantastic!

I would be very surprised if it's gonna be something else than a (regular) purple McLaren. That being said; we are back to speculation again, so be careful the Admin won't come in and warn us  

[AVCampos]

Yeah, you really don't want us to report you to the admin, Jim.

Drat! I would have gotten away with some speculation if it wasn't for those pesky admins! *shakes fist with poor animation*

"Vrachtwagen" means merely "truck" in Dutch. Dammit, that tells us nothing!

Sad pupper.

Sorry to disappoint you. McLaren is also mentioned with question marks

This is officially my favorite Dutch word, it rolls off the tongue so nicely^

What surprises me about the McLaren is September. I tought it would be available in the summer release. Not that I could actually buy it till next year.. Also, I was hoping something "flagship worthy" for autumn, not specifically the 1:8 supercar.

For the wallet, it's better not to get a new 500+ euro set this year 

I will probably get the last four sets in the list, which will boil down to 700 odd euros. That's enough for this year 

[1gor]

So nothing new in June?

Lego® 42174 Technic Watervoertuig ??? € 105,00 aanbetaling € 75,00 restant € 30,00

Could that be something like jet ski?

Could 

Lego® 42175 Technic Volvo FMX Vrachtwagen & Volvo EC230 Electrische Graafmachine € 175,00 aanbetaling € 75,00 restant € 100,00

be something like this only with excavator

 

 

[Jim]

Yes, yes and yes

[Maaboo the Witch]

That would be one chonky jetski.

Nah. 88 in Dutch is so satisfying, especially with proper guttural pronunciation.

Achtentachtig

[dhc6twinotter]

Too many cars.  The Volvo is the only thing that interests me at the moment.

Coming from someone whose language is guttural too, I love this

We didn't have snowmobile for some years and I thought since construction without rear catepillar drive could be built in very similar way when you build jet ski...

The Volvo set will be small. 175 € for truck AND excavator (and maybe pneumatic system) is definitely too little money. I suppose max. 15 studs wide.

2200 parts as well. Largest Volvo set yet.

Yes, but divided into TWO models.

42053 uses 1166 parts. I could see the FMX using around the same amount.

I even hope for a semi truck/Trailer combination. But maybe with many System pieces to achieve the recognizable look, it will come down to the setup which @1gor mentioned.

At least give us twin tires on rear axles, TLC!

We don't even know how many rear axles this 🐕 has yet.
