Does it have the planetary gear of 42099 in the wheel connectors?

There are a few pictures on https://www.ottosimon.nl/nl-nl/lego-technic-42128-robuuste-sleepwagen-411--3354

When will you be able to talk about them?

I like the new design. The picture of the giant with the car looks more japanese than american. We can see the pneumatic pump behind the cabin. I hope that they will include instructions to use a motor instead (like 42053). Is there more functionalities than what is shown on the 3 small pictures? - There seem to be a gear or turntable under the crane. - One of the sticker seems to show that we can move a wheel axis up and down. - The blue part at the back seems to be able to move up and down but I don't know what is its usage.

I don't see what other functionality it could control.

Why is there a pneumatic control valve next to the outrigger? I thought that the outriggers were using linear actuators.

The sets being release in June have been added on the Lego website but there is nothing in the Technic theme. I guess that will have to wait a few more months before seeing the Technic sets.

It still grows the budget spent on Lego.

Question for Moc builders: do you hesitate between getting paid for the instructions versus having a lot more people building it?

I understand that it takes time to create instructions but if it is a leasure, we don't necessarily have to be paid for it. Would the moc builders still create mocs/instructions if there was no money to gain?

I have the feeling that more and more instructions are now paid instructions. Even the ones for C models of small sets aren't free anymore. Do you have the small feeling? Do you think that it is a good thing? Is it because some people do it as their main activity? Do they succeed to sell many instructions? Maybe these instructions are more popular now because TLC provides less B models instructions as before.

You can do as in one of the promo picture: put an armor over the pirate torso.

There are many sets being officially announced in other themes for releases in june. Will the technic sets be announced too or will they come later?

I hoped that the price was wrong too. 330€ seems crazy even if it has one more motor than the 42099.

It doesn't seem to be a finished model. For example, the green part on the hood doesn't look like the real vehicle.
