As we're slowly approaching the reveal of this year's 1:8 supercar, I'm curious what TLG holds for us in terms of GWP. As per the last 2 sets we can expect one. What I could imagine is a "tuning set" (some colour swaps of accents and/or different hubs) or a showcase turntable what most of us imagined for the P1.

Ahh, I see, thank you!

This new gear might be used for radio controlling pneumatic valves as when the valve reaches its end point there wouldn't be any harm made to the system.

Can this new part be used for... pneumatic valves, maybe?

I bet we'll get to a point (in the not too distant future) where every set will be a car.

I still have a feeling we'll get something in the (at least) 2000-3000 pcs territory this year (not counting the 1:8 supercar, F1 and possibly 1:5 motorbike). There would be a huge leap between the F1 cars and Sadair's Spear.

How interesting that most vehicle (not only Technic) sets are photographed from their left side... how does it have connection to right-handed people (who are also the majority of population)?

I want to believe the absence of their listings is due to the tight-sealed leak of information.

I don't know who remembers, but that Eclipse gave me 'confidental pic' vibe from the late 2000's - early 2010's :D Also, the Dodge seems to have lost its sleekness which the former model had.

I'm both sorrowful and happy at the same time. Sorrowful because it's sad to see the 'normal/functionful' (not car/bike) sets becoming smaller and fewer year after year. Happy, because that way I can save some money for other sets.

Not yet, only age recommendation which is 11+. That puts it in the territory of 42157 and 42128.

I wouldn't count on any motorization as it seems the current system is being phased out. I think it will be pneumatic as last year hasn't offered any pneumatic set.

I hope it WON'T use 42209's wheels (i.e. it will have a bigger scale).
