If only... I bet it's just a set delayed for next year

Yeah, I thought about it, too. Maybe after last year's two pneumatic sets (42074, 42075) they didn't want to give us one this year.

It doesn't look that big...

Thanks! Mirrors my face seeing these absurdities :D

In black they are new here. In size they were first in 42100 then in 42108. They haven't appeared since then until now.

The first set came to my mind seeing this is 17101, maybe because of its head.

I can't believe TLG charges 400 € for it WITHOUT C+!!!!! And still it's just ~2500 pcs. What are they doing with the prices across themes?!!

You're right, but the main point is to bring them back (at least in 18+ sets) so as not to spend more money on pins to aesthetically correct a set's look. Or, even better, add more colours to the currently available portfolio.

Well, it's now really only a matter of time to bring back the good ol' black 3L friction pins.. :D I hope I will still be there when it happens.

I think he means John Deere green

So, basically, not even a fake motor in it..?

Maybe it'll appear in the F&F Nissan.

I secretly hope that the Volvo loader will be pneumatic. If not, then it must have some LAs which are quite a rare sight nowadays.

Usual January wave, nothing big (as of now), but 42217 will be 2025's blue Corvette. I saw that leak, too, and I think that would be 42216.

After all these years and so many sets with huge piece counts I can't believe Technic still doesn't have 4500-5000 pcs sets (which are not cars)...

Nice one, Balázs! :D Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised of the re-introduction of the Racers theme. Speaking of pre-assembled models, I'm curious when we'll see Junior/4+ sets in Technic, if ever.

As 42210 can be the same scale as 42154 I checked 42154's sizes on Brickset and 28.2 was present there, too. So these numbers are only box sizes. Which is good.

Something's not right here... only 2 dimensions and none of them makes any sense for me... even if they are swapped The sets can't have these sizes with the weights.

I have a feeling it will be a small Mercedes G class

I'd like a Manitou telehandler with rotating upper structure. And of course a massive JCB backhoe loader. And a 7-axle Liebherr mobile crane with outriggers like in 8053

Going by the price and piece count, and as we didnt't get a pneumatic set yet this year, I suppose it will be pneumatic. I would be surprised if the Lunar Outpost set turned out to be pneumatic.

I would be really happy about that. At least that could determine its scale/size. I'm curious about when TLG wants to update or widen the available pneumatic components, as they release more and more sets with them.

I imagine TLG decided not to release a "flagship" model in the same year as a 1:8 supercar, because they might eat each other's sales if released simultaneously. So it might be one of the reasons why they delayed the Liebherr crane (aside from design decisions) to let the Daytona shine.

I wonder - after introducing reddish-orange parts last year - if the Volvo's railings will be in that colour, because it matches better than regular orange.

Thanks for the answers! I wouldn't have thought about the blades falling out.
