And white, since July 1st

Found it. I think I see blue 1x2 technic bricks too. These are pretty rare.

Still can't find anything. Do you have a link or picture?

You sure that's the right set number? I can't find anything when looking for 76250.

The new alternating liftarm is 1x11, it has several. I spotted 9 or something. Pneumatic cylinder 1x11 only came in the Arocs and used they cost €50+ (Exit: seems they dropped in price since I last checked. Still around €40 each though). The pump only came in 42053 and the 2x11 cylinders in a couple sets already. The valves only came in 42080. It also has the orange 3x3 T shape liftarm that previously only came in the Osprey. Otherwise no new parts I believe.

Not that it would make a 40% difference, but taxes aren’t included in the American prices (because each state has a different tax rate) while they are included in the European prices. Taxes are also higher over here: a quick Google search told me California is the highest with 7.25% sales tax, while here in the Netherlands it is 21%. On the bright side, in Europe we do get nice deals from time to time. At one point a new Bugatti was around €200 (50% off RRP in the Netherlands!). From what I have seen and read discounts aren’t so common in America. Don’t know about Canada or Australia though...

The article I linked mentioned a "sperdifferentieel", which translates to "limited slip differential". Either the translation is off or the wave selector doesn't lock the differentials.

I'm not sure. The back half motor is LBG, the pin seems lighter to me. It could very well be flat silver which they also make nowadays... I am aware. The skateboard picture is very clearly steeper than what is shown on the box though. edit: also, the box doesn't advertise any angle. Unless the LEGO version weighs 40 tons and has over 500 bhp, the angle that is shown on the box is what the real thing can climb.

On the last photo: Is that a white pin with stop bush? I can't tell for sure. On the back of the box they are advertising it as being able to climb a steep angle, although that is not 45 degrees.

The white air tank only came in a LEGO education set if I remember correctly. It must have been retired last year, because I also ordered a white air tank around November 2019. You might still be able to order them if you call LEGO and give them the part number though. That has worked for me in the past, also for pieces that weren't even listed on their site.

This is the best set so far imo. Unfortunately no mini cylinders but this set is packed with functions. The crane rotates as well, which is new for official LEGO tow trucks I believe.

Good pictures make all the difference. You tell me, would you rather buy something with a low resolution blurry picture and without any kind of description, or something with high quality pictures showing a product in the best ways with a complete list of what it includes and what it can do? To be completely honest I don’t think this is an amazing looking set, but it most definitely looks a lot better than what we have seen previously.

+1, let’s have at least a single complete color palette first, before adding some obscure color that will only be used in 1 set Looking at 42039 and 42069...

And today there is some official news for this set too. This time a Dutch blog post. https://www.bricktastic.nl/lego-technic/retailer-toont-lego-technic-42129-mercedes-benz-zetros/

The first picture posted by @Ngoc Nguyen almost 100% certainly shows a difference in shade between the black #3 connectors and the 27940 connector. Sadly it appears to still be DBG...

Yeah definitely. At least we'll also have clean, unprinted arches unlike the with the Porsche RSR.

All of the lights are done with stickers. Front rear and the turning signals as well.

@blondasek I understand you’d want perfectly consistent colors, but saying doesn’t make things better for anyone. You seem to want them to pay for their mistakes more than you want a solution. Like I said: After two, three or maybe four requests for the same parts in the same set - they will undoubtedly blacklist you.

That is one way to very quickly end up on LEGO’s blacklist

That will likely never be fixed. Red versions of that same part have the same issue.

Let me rephrase: It’s about time we get a large scale yellow car. Sure there is something, but luck building any large scale cars with those parts. No 1x2 half beams, no 17/18 panels, very limited soft axles, some connectors are scarce, etc. It’s actually only one of two out of 40-some that I have built in yellow. An even that needed paint and third party pneumatic hoses. The yellow color palette is just too limiting, and it’s about time we get at least Ford Raptor size in yellow.

The blue one is my favourite, but yellow looks sweet as well! It’s about time we get a yellow car to be honest.

They fit. I’ve tried some time ago and Sariel did in his review of 42125.

The grille appears to be printed, so that makes me think there won’t be any more prints on the mudguards.
