  1. If 2020 is to start with 42100 then 2019 2H will have 3 sets: 42097, 42098, 42099.
  2. Since there are 8 sets already I think this is the full list for 2019 1H. That means number 42085, 42086, 42087, 42088 would probably go unused. Maybe there will be sets for 42087 and 42088, but not for all 4 of them. Can't really see TLG releasing 12 sets for 1H.
  3. I'm curious to see if TLG would ever do a dually with 56 x 34 rim and if they do, how they would design the attachment for two rims.
  4. Another pair of cop and rob then. Feels like 2016 all over again
  5. A moment of silence for our brothers and sisters who didn't get this set while it was still in production.
  6. Except for the first post, all subsequent posts count as speculation anyway.
  7. For the next motorbike I've always wanted to see one with a sidecar.
  8. The 42006 Excavator has the same price with 42094 Tracked Loader so it's totally possible that 42094 will have big tracks and big LA
  9. I think 42096 would be more like 8070, with PF/PU. If it is like 42039 it wouldnt carry such a hefty price tag. I guess it may contain the wave selector.
  10. Some numbers are missing. The first set should have started from 42085. And generic cars again? One for 50 USD and another one for 150 USD. 150 USD is the price of the 42080 and 42042. That presumable 1H flagship'd better be having PF or something special. I was about to bricklink parts to get a 8043 B (Tracked Loader). But it seems God (or in this case TLG) has other plans hehe. If this thing is good enough I will happily ditch the plan.
  11. Then the numbskull will knock out that outermost beam too.
  12. Perhaps one day people will ask for a 4 speed gearbox in a crane too.
  13. Yes the angle has to be like that. Otherwise when the LA is fully retracted the second part wont tuck completely next to the first part. I have a 8258 nearby. If you want I can put the crankshaft at different angles for you to see the effect. I think you meant 90° out?
  14. I've always been baffled by the frequent cries for more functions. A mobile crane only does a certain number of things, what else do people expect? For the same number of functions, for me 42082 do them better than 42009.
  15. I feel like Sue in The Last Leaf. "There are only two left now." "Two what, dear?" "Power Functions. In the Technic sets. When the last one is discontinued I must go [from the Technic line], too. I've known that for several weeks. Didn't the doctor tell you?"
  16. When I have the set I'll take a photo of it together with 42030, 42043, 42055, and 42070. My 42009 had been sacrificed for resurrection of the 8258. I can put 9398 with the squad if requested
  17. It works with the turntable only. There is no gear connected to the ring gears.
  18. Can we do a poll around the pub to see what occupations our fellow members do?
  19. Then we shall see people build a BWE out of 42082 and a RTC out of 42055
  20. Contest Idea: Build a model from 42082 or 42055.
  21. Lol I've just realized I was talking to someone from a snowy country There is a proverb in my country that says "swinging the axe in front of a woodcutter", which means don't try to deceive the professional.
  22. Well TLG just did that in 2015. They re-released the Racing Truck which was first introduced as 8041 in 2010.
  23. @arijitdas Find an intenational shipping company in your country. That's how I get sets from amazon.de. Even with the shipping costs the price is still lower than retail price in Vietnam. Since I found out amazon.de I stopped buying from local distributor completely.
