    Here's my take on them:

    60212: I dislike that Lego is packing the juniors and normal themes together now, it gives people less options to choose from if they don't like simple builds

    60213: Looks okay, but I won't get it. The boat looks a little kiddish as well

    60216: The highlight of the whole theme this year, it has one of the most realistic fire trucks from Lego in recent years. I think the light and sound system is the downpoint, I think it shouldn't have made a return. The water shooters look interesting, I wonder if the big one shoots actual water or if it's just a piece. I'm hoping the price doesn't exceed $150 in Canadian dollars.

    60218: A nice rally vehicle, but it doesn't stand out among the rest

    60220: :sick:

    60221: A nice boat, but it seems too small to be a yacht.

    60222: The inclusion of a snow cannon makes no sense to me, but it's not a horrible set

    60223: The second set of the bunch I would consider buying, the front end looks very unique, never seen something like that from Lego. The harvester looks a bit too small, but I don't mind that all that munch. Will get it if it's $40 or $45 Canadian.

    Here's my take on the sets:

    42089: It's a nice looking powerboat, a bit on the small side, probably not gonna get it due to it being small

    42090: Looks like a mash between a pickup truck and a '69 charger. Not gonna get it due to it being a pullback

    42091: Quite ugly, a definite pass

    42092: Looks realistic enough, might get it. 

    42093: A bit hard to tell it's a Corvette, but I'm probably gonna get it anyways

    42094: One word: Strange

    42095: Ugliest one of the bunch, easy pass

    42096 and 42088: don't know what to think because I haven't seen them.

    So what I think about the set is this: I don't care much about the skatepark or the museum. The Electric car looks more like an electric than the one from 2016. The blue car looks like a civilian version of the police car from last year's station. The Tuk Tuk is great, haven't seen one before. The hotel looks interesting, I'll have to wait and see, but the bus is probably the best of the bunch. The crane is okay. Overall, I might get this. I kind of hope that 60199 and 60203 are similar sized sets to connect to this, like a waterfront area with a harbour.

    I just finished the tour inside the LEGO stand in Nuremberg...

    the Chiron was not there, unfortunately (only a teasing poster)... but all of the other new sets was shown...

     

    I confirm:

    - new power founctions 2.0 on train (controllable both by app or by means of a new remote)

    - new pneumatic valves with axle hole to control them (as already stated before)

    - the Volvo will be fully manual... but it’ BIG (bigger than the CLAAS)

    - the secondary model of the Volvo will be a Volvo autonomous truck

    - Forest thingy have PF motorized compressor, with two valves for boom and pinch/blade (blade is pneumatic, too).

    - forest harvester secondary model will be a forest manipulator

    - the crane is HUGE.... no HUGER!

    PF motorized with only one L motor.

    all functions controlled with both function and direction control by a single lever (boom elevation, extension and winch).

    have 4 wheels steering, 8V fake engine and motorized superstructure turning and stabilizer deployment.

    What about 42079?

    Thank you very much for the further information, Sir von Lego! :classic:

    I'm absolutely disappointed about the Moutain Police being a summer oriented theme. I hoped for different types of snowmobiles and some cool new stuff. But this seems to be some sort of re-design of Forest Police. So I've got no use for it. :thumbdown:

    The smaller mining sets won't be that stunning, imo. But since the flagship set includes a small bucket wheel excavator, this set will probably make it into my collection. But I only will judge after having seen pics (and that will still take some months. :classic:

    Fair point, Klaus-Dieter. I am very excited for the mini bucket wheel excavator- it sounds different and interesting!?
