When does this set go on sale on Shop at Home? June 1st?

At least for me the only set I'm interested in is the Volvo.

I'd like to build mine a lot like the one in this video. I would like to compliment that builder for making an excellent design.

I think I know how to add the extra two wheels, but I really need help on how to build a good dumping bed. I'll post pictures in a few weeks, and I'll see if anyone kind here can help me.

This one? http://designer-han.nl/lego/index.htm

Does anyone have any instructions for a 6-wheel MOD to the B Model (Dump Truck Hauler)?

So when does this come out?

Do energizer non-rechargeable AAA batteries work? I may get some, my brand new Duracell AAA batteries are not working.

My guess is that the Volvo will have pneumatic functions, and be in a scale similar to 42030 (but maybe a bit smaller) and no PF included. But I think that it will advertise on the back "add PF", like other sets in the past, and you can buy PF to motorize it. I hope that is the case, so the parts can be used for the truck itself.

Is the 42053 Volvo going to be in the same scale (or at least close enough) as the 42030? I hope so.

Yes, I did.

The 3 batteries I put in were all new. I even put another set of 3 new batteries from the same package in, and they still did not work.

I did what you told me to. My phone can barely see a faint violet light, but it doesn't blink. I guess I have a defective part?

Since we have very few pics for the 42051 and 42052, compared to other lower number sets, is it possible that 42053 will not be the lowest 2H set? Also, remember in 2013, 42009 was the flagship but not the highest number. I really can't see Lego selling small licensed sets, and looking at videos, the Volvo EW160E is an awesome machine full of many cool functions. It's clear that this is no normal year for Technic. Maybe we'll have a larger than usual 2H, and the sets will be something like this: 42051: Entry level 2H. $50-75 range, like 42040 42052: $90-110 42053: Like 42042 in terms of price, parts, functions, etc. About $150-ish 42054: (See above) 42055: Flagship, analogous to 42043, but unlicensed 42056: Super flagship I

Any word on how big/expensive/intricate the 42053 Volvo will be? I am really looking forward to that set, I hope it's not a small one.
