I thought to the Panel Fairing #7 and #8 or other small parts and connectors that are rare in yellow.

If TLG is smart enough, then they put one desired and rare part in every of the 8 sets. It will sell like bread.

I don't know anything about these "Kinder Surprise Eggs". Just got that pic on Instagram.

42233 Mighty Machines 8 collectible "Machines" in a mystery box where you dont know what you get.

Fun fact: The upcoming 42236 Ford Mustang as an addition to the released 42223 Ford GT shares the same 3 digits in parts count. 973 to 793. This means nothing.

An outstanding "tech flagship" we got in 2025. What was the name again? Oh yes, the 42115 Volvo Crapcavator.

1:5 Kawasaki Ninja most likely in lime green. Black and/or purple accents. Just a matter of time to see a green bike fitting in the series.

It should be a new one following the cycle of previous releases. BUT - no confirmed 1:8 scale Supercar - no real summer flagship Set - no 1:5 Motorcycle? - no Control+ Car with the new Hub - no new Helicopter set (which should be after 4 years)

Sure. It doesn't really make sense to bring out a new model again. 42231 can also be F&F Dodge Charger Hellcat in dbg

The new 42231 Dodge Charger is larger version of 42111 with 150€ price tag, same 1:10 scale as the 2F2F Nissen Skyline, which is not bad. Having so many black models in a year is very exceptional - Ford GT, Charger, Batmobil...

With the Set 42123 McLaren Senna GTR, the first "Car Transporter Gang" member was released after the Car Transporter set itself. Exactly 100 numbers later we got the first 18+ Set in this car series with set 42223 Ford GT. That means absolutely nothing.

They were all locked up to prepare for the 50th anniversary spectacle in 2027.

What was shared on Reddit sounds like pure speculation and a wish list. Wouldn't call it a reliable source.

Would expect a June wave with 1:8 Supercar and two smaller sets and the August wave also with 3 sets. Following the release circle, there should also be a new 1:5 Motorcycle in August.

Thank you Balazs. No words can explain how you made 2025 special to me. Happy new year to everyone! Lets keep the bricks rollin'.

Wow Lars Krogh Jensen is 65 years old o.O I would have estimated him at age 50.

This is very interesting. Back in the 2000s, when things were bad for them, that's exactly what they did. However, in the present time they see no need for change. It is a very sad fact, but they are not interested in the people, the community, who bring in the money and who supported TLG by buying the sets and made it great again. Perhaps we should open a new topic where everyone can give their predictions about the future, where the lineup will be in 5 or 10 years.

This is absolutely true. But on the other side, people complaining about too much cars in the lineup for every year over and over again. It is an endless story.

Thank you for making and sharing your creation. You can try to use https://rebrickable.com as hosting platform for your instructions that can be seen by a wider range of people.

It's just my opinion with some experience from the past years. For decades, people in this forum are screaming for a Technic JCB model. Was any JCB model released since there? No. I don't believe that TLG invests time and resources in reading forums to collect statistical data. The past has shown that they are not interested in community opinions and wishes and that they won't be either. They design and produce models that the market regulates. TLG shows several patterns from the late '90s, but compared to the past they won't change things and stick to what is working well. Cars are selling good, especially the smaller 15 stud wides for pocket money. They are an addition to the lineup, not a replacement for other models. Since we have these many cars, each lineup has grown significantly per year. If TLG were doing badly, they would look for a change, but obviously they don't. Personally, I'm not a big fan of this trend either, but as long as there is demand for the models, nothing will change. The small 15 stud cars are quick money for TLG, even the ones with the color swaps. Try it in stud.io, make a model with a good 200 pages instructions and then change the models color. The instructions remains, the color has been changed. Zero effort for a complete new model that sales. As long as people support this laziness of overpaid danish employee by purchasing these models, nothing will change.

Agreed. So far, no one has complained about my instructions yet.

No why? I use many arrows for parts in a new step and custom frames for highlighting parts that can be hard to see. Outlining is very useless for callout steps or for subparts. Stud.io highlights the complete group of parts if it is a callout step.

They don't care about this forum at all. They produce and make things they trained in and what sells, not what a very small range of people in a forum want.

In Stud.io instructions maker it is a global setting for all the parts of the model with the same thickness and color for the outline. Seems to be a matter of taste, but personally I don't like outlined (highlighted) parts and disabled it for all of my instructions.

I got only the 42141 McLaren in 2022 and rebuilded it into a FunKart which was totally useless. After that I lost interest in the f1 models.
