It may be expensive for a set, but it is still cheaper than a lot of MOCs that people build.

it is supposed to have 4 motors

the price of two normal flagships.

It has been mentioned briefly

Anyone game to build a large crawler crane, the new parts lend themselves to it, new sprockets for larger track base, and the quadrants for the slew ring

I have heard rumours of a large remote control excavator with 4 motors. And a price tag which is as big as the set.

Better start saving now, it comes with a big price tag. Would be nice if it had a wider tread also but I doubt it will.

And for transportation ;-) Some cranes have a camera on the tip, but you cant see much. Mostly you rely on a Dogman

chassis is very similar to a Tadano TR250

I am loving the new pieces we are getting and their usefulness. The only problem is that I have to keep starting my MOCs again because there is a new part to make it better. As far as sets go, I generally only buy them for parts, though more often I just buy the parts I need. I sometimes build the sets but only ones that appeal to me. I see a much greater range of sets being released now, catering for different age groups and markets. The previous years were 5-6 sets a year topped with a flagship the equivalent of the midsize sets now released, but we have bigger sets also available for those who want more. We have the sets now also which are aimed at other markets other than just technic fans with the licensed sets which are being marketed elsewhere like the Mack thru the Mack dealer network and the Porsche and Bugatti. Lego has always been to inspire people and that is why there are B models, sometimes great enough to be sets on their own, otherwise just to show that the set is not just one thing, it is a collection of parts to build whatever you want, not limited to someone else's imagination.

Pretty sure the T600 I used to drive was a Cummins N14

Nice Review. Thanks. Looks a neat set especially if your interested in boats.

Very nice. Some interesting techniques also. :-)

To me 42082 looks like it is still the old battery box and motor, no RC.
