The Nuremberg Toy Fair starts today and lasts till 31st January. I hope we get some info for summer.

Yes. The problem is not the idea but the implementation.

It will be a fun little toy and surprise for kids, but I hope we'll get something remarkably bigger construction set this summer...

According to faniklockow.pl, the 42239 Batmobile will have 719 pieces. It also mentions remote controlling but I highly doubt.

No, the Mustang won't be C+ judging from its price. It might be a similar case like with the Ford GT MKII. TLG charges more for the same 1:16 scaled car just because.

I bet not all missing numbers will be sets, 7 at most. 1 recolour, 1 bike (1:5), 1 supercar (1:8), and 4 other (hopefully) non-car/bike machines.

I thought they would do the real F1 cars first, but neither would interest me. At least we may have the possibility to get golden parts from it.

I can't imagine what would be the $10 difference between a 'simple' 1:16 car and an 18+ 1:16 one... black box, okay, but regarding building..?

I bet these 'air jacks' will be similar to 8143

Greed-oh..

I hope not. First of all, I don't and won't really like TLG putting 3D printed things in official sets. They drastically differ from the 'build it from small parts' mentality. But, if the forced 3D printing is limited for accessories/decoration, that's fine. But if it means structural parts (beams, pins, axle) then that will be a disaster. I can't imagine a situation where a 3D printed part behaves better than a moulded one. If you have any ideas, please, let me know.

I agree, although that would imply that the remaining numbers get filled up which I highly doubt :D (seeing last year's 42184 and 42196). I know, nothing is written in stone, but it's still an unusal way of numbering.

It must be the July wave. I bet 2 of them are cars. It's always interesting seeing these jumps in numbers mid-year.

Wow.. 2 polybags in one year..! And with the magazines, Technic is really pumping up its sets' number.
