    The 4WD system is almost accurate. The real car has a constant drive rear axle and a clutch on the front axle, which engages when the rear loses traction. That would make for an interesting mod.

    Seems like it! The rubber band is tied arround the ballpin.

    2026 is the expected completion date for the central tower. The third facade is expected to be completed in 2034. Not that it's impossible for an unfinished building to come out since plans for the final facade are publically available.

    The real car has wheel covers only on the rear wheels. Still looks somewhat weird.

    Thanks, noted

    Apart from the other examples, there's also the unnamed buddhist pagoda in Tokio and the Chenghuang Miao and Longhua temples in Shanghai. Small builds, but still religious buildings. Not sure if this would matter, but technically Notre Dame de Paris is owned by the French government and not the Catholic church. Maybe TLC sees that as grounds for an exception? They might also be involved in some kind of reconstruction fundraiser. EDIT: All reconstruction costs have been raised, so probably not that.

    Found out there's a Volvo FMX Electric too, just started production in September 2023. Would make sense to model that variant to keep the electric theme of the excavator. Also, I wondered if the truck is a dumper or a transporter for the excavator. The transporter was my first thought, but would need more pieces for a trailer.

    No need to tie it with the existing Saturn V set. They'd probably include a Crawler-Transporter with a microscale Saturn V, Shuttle or SLS to add context to the build.

    I suppose NEOM offered a better deal than Monster Jam. That, or TLC felt that sales/interest of/on the line were dropping after three years (I have no evidence either way). Don't think Spin Master factored in this decision.

    All cars in the series so far have been either top-of-the-line or limited production models, the McLaren GTS / 765 and Huracán Sterrato don't fit that IMHO. Stuff like the Aston Martin Valhalla/Valkyrie, Koenigsegg Gemera/CC850 and McLaren Elva seem more likely to me. The Koenigsegg Jesko and Mercedes-AMG ONE are another option if they don't mind redoing models made by other construction toy manufacturers. I also don't think they'll repeat car brands this early on.

    Airbus holds the trademark for the Concorde.

    Pictures are out! From Reddit: Has a working landing gear and droop nose, plus some interior detail. Interesting to see them using the factory livery instead of Air France/British Airways.

    There's rumors of an space-themed CMF series and a new City space wave. Seems like space is the theme of the year.

    It's not like the real one has an uniform colour either.

    Interesting to see TLC possibly making an orrey. They're relatively popular with MOCers though earth-moon ones are rare. I found an Ideas user with two MOCs on the same concept, which might give us an idea on how they might function. Lego's version probably won't be as detailed since it's in the Technic theme, though: With that PPP they might use prefabricated sphere elements.

    AFAIK D2C sets usually aren't shown on these catalogs.

    If LEGO wants a true nation-neutral livery they could allways do the prototype/pre-production liveries: They probably won't, as the two airline liveries can act as the light customization element they add to most Icons vehicle sets.

    Actually 2011's 21010: Robie House is bigger in both piece count and price - so this isn't breaking any records!

    Ford looks good, probably one of the better cars at this scale. Plane doesn't.

    Set 31208 - Hokusai – The Great Wave has been revealed: Notice the prints for Hokusai's signature and the sailor heads. So far I love it! the combination of the studded and irregular surface of the water with the mosaic background and the tiled edge/frame give the model an interesting and dynamic appearance. Overall I much prefer this (and Starry Night's) style over the simple mosaics earlier in the theme. Hope we see more like it.

    Not Architecture proper but set 40585 "World of Wonders" is a future GWP featuring mini models of the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, the Parthenon and Petra. Interestingly, two of those have been released in the Architecture line. Could the mistery set be the Parthenon or the Treasury of Petra?

    It almost looks like a Kettenrad.

    Not impossible, but if they want to keep the 5 blade swashplate for their next helicopter they still have a few options. From their past licenses Airbus produces the H145, H155, H160 and H225, while Bell has the 525. Plus the options of other manufacturers and unlicensed helicopters.
  24. Kaanere
    Definitively a proper swashplate and not a tilting rotor - notice the angle between the swashplate and the rotor mast (vertical). From here it seems like the swashplate sits on another new piece - some sort of angled drum that serves as the lower swashplate. Excited for this set! Hope it isn't the last helicopter with the swashplate piece.

    I wonder if it will have headlight covers. Functional ones would probably be too much to ask but fixed ones would be a break from so many round headlights in this series.
