@Auroralampinen can we fix the first post to have the sets in the right sequence? In this way it's more simple to check if there are any "empty" codes. 42225 Yellow motorcycle 151pcs $9.99 42226 BMW M4 GT3 EVO 747pcs $64.99 42227 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 723pcs $64.99 42228 {Mclaren F1} 1675pcs $229.99 42229 Mitsubishi Eclipse Fast And Furious 827pcs 42230 ? 42231 Dodge Charger Fast And Furious 1516pcs 42232 18+ 42233 Mighty Machines Blind Box Series 42234 Viper GTS R Technic Dodge 805pcs 42235 Ferrari 882pcs 42236 Mustang Ford Technic 973pcs 42237 ? 42238 ? 42239 The iconic Batmobile from the Christopher Nolan movies 42240 {F1 Aston} 42241 9+ 42242 11+

If all the missing numbers are sets, then I think it is a record for Technic in terms of quantity of sets per year.

42239 The iconic batmobile from the Christopher Nolan movies. July release. Source: instagram. So the summer wave should include more than 3 sets!

Not a Lego set but a Moc posted in the Lego town forum, I think it could receive a lot more attention here, because it's an awesome model: Is there a way to move that topic in the Technic forum? @Jim @Milan

I've seen it on Youtube and I'm completely in love with it! Is there a topic here on Eurobricks? I suggest to open a new one in the Technic subforum

Cool little and detailed model! As somebody else said, this topic should be moved into the "Lego technic and model team" forum, I think it would receive a lot of interest among the users.

The company is Blue Ocean, I don't know how are they related to TLG. On the back of the paper envelope of the set, there is a link with the digital instructions. This is one example: https://www.blue-ocean-ag.com/bi/?tx_kesearch_pi1[sword]=412505&cHash=0693bc35b9cb1923166e60edb8ea1e81 If you change the number you find other sets (412504, 412503...)

Exactly! Here are the Italian releases:

Nice! Is there a way to add all the small magazine sets in this topic? It looks they are different in each country. In Italy at the moment they made only 7 releases.

I preferred the earlier version shown on Cada catalogue last year. The bonnet was made with technic panels and not all those system bricks.

I like your muscle cars very much!

Have you tested it in real life to check everything works fine? What is the speed of the arm?

I think it should be better to move the whole @Ngoc Nguyenattempts into the mods and improvements topic

I think this excavator is a display model only, they added the gearbox to improve the building experience, and they added the motor just to change the position of the arm without rotating knobs manually. The official pictures show actually the model on a shelf, and a guy changing the position of the arm, nothing more. This model is definitely not something to play with, and that's something we can be happy or not, but it was TLG choice and that's all. The price is actually the price of a full rc model, so this is my only criticism.

They made a very good looking excavator but then somebody decided to make it very poorly functional and very expensive, so it will sell bad, to have one more reason to release cars, cars and cars...

Maybe the embargo is today at 1pm... or 2pm... or something. Not at 0.00.

Yes that was a more logical choice. Since the set was unveiled, I've never understood why they chose to motorize the coupler instead of the hummer.

The bucket and black long linear actuators (new color). This excavator can be built with my spare parts and a little bricklink order It's unnecessary big, so you can fit 6-7 motors and 2 hubs

The new parts are not yet listed, but there are indeed new parts (the bucket and the triangular panels for example). Of course this doesn't mean you can still try to build it with existing parts.

Hello! This is my alternative model of set 42204. It is inspired on Iveco Stralis. The model features Hog steering, tiltable cab and fake engine. I think the model will look a little better if you add the pulley wheels on front rims: The instructions are on Rebrickable.com This is my second alternative truck in 1:24 scale. The other one is 42161 Truck I'm planning an alternative truck made from the 42205 Corvette too, once I'll buy the set.

Super! Thank you.

Mmm I don't think so, the L120 electric and L120H looks to be only available with TP. Do you have any picture of a L120 with Z?

Very simple and clear explanation, good job! As you pointed out, Volvo uses a different linkage than the classic Z-linkage used in set 42209, so that could be a good challenge to mod.

Funny thing is that real Volvo L120 has different linkage, with the actuator on the bottom, maybe you should try to mod it like the real one

Yes. 42215 is 1:17 scale (comparing the width of the turret). Arocs is around 1:18. The Volvo hauler is around 1:21.
