Next to the Unimog, this was the only model which might be a buy with discount. According to StoneWars, this model will release in August. @Auroralampinen: Can you maybe edit the list on first page and add the release dates? I also think the 42230 and 42237 can be deleted, at least for this year.

Interesting idea for a leveling/limitation... as this would mean using the medium tractor tires. But as most cars are sports cars and the same size it would highly likely result in kind of similar builds... Also when we go with all tire sizes, more people would participate and try their luck with smaller builds :-)

I actually like this idea a lot! We could even allow the newer and the upcoming 2026 chevron tires from city:

@Divitis and @2GodBDGlory: This could be a chance to build your CVT ;-)

Wait: "Freewheel mechanism"? This could be interesting!

Dear Santa: Can the lead designer for Lego city pwease switch to Technic...?

With all these models for the car-transporter-gang (@Michael217 Put together this nice overview) ; maybe we can do a contest with: Build a B-model out of one of the these cars with only the available parts.

Couldn't agree more! This forum is also somehow a comfort place, as I've never ever experienced more friendly and open folk. All the critic for MOCs is constructive and never a rant, which is a very rare find.

It's really strange as one can argue that there are enough MOCs to keep Technic alive, but I feel you. The hobby always interested me the most when new models came out that gave spark with new parts, especially wheels, gears, mechanisms and motors to create something worthy and unique. Right now, even with all the new parts ,this spark sadly is gone for me. Still have hopes for 2027 with the 50th anniversary.

Strange... in my mind we got all the info for the 2H 2019 sets earlier (late 2018) and then the 42100 and 42110 came with a long delay in late spring. Maybe my memory let my down on this one.

There is a 4th option, although more unlikely: Sets will appear out of nowhere. This happened with the 42100, which was released in october 2021 2019 :-) Apart from all the boring cars, there are 3 sets I'm curious about: 42238 Ducati Desmo450 MX Factory 457pcs 49.99€ - Could be cool and at least a little deviation from the norm of only speedy bikes and cars. 42239 The iconic Batmobile from the Christopher Nolan movies 719pcs 189.99€ - Here I'm interested how Lego will do the steering, considering the PU hub 113926 will be used 42242 Mercedes Benz Unimog U5023 With Crane - Only set I will buy directly on launch day, just to support non-car themes. What a wasted year for technic :-/ *Edit: @Ngoc Nguyen : 2019. not 2021!

Cool new small parts :-) On the 1st pic, the critical look of the kid says: "Why aren't these cool parts used in Technic Lineup? Ah right... they don't need them, as they only get cars now."

Dude, in all seriousness: This is not a copying of your design. They just found the same solution for a common problem. In your pic above you even changed the upper connector in your original design to an L-shape liftarm to make your claim... Just be happy you found the same solution :-) Also you seem to have copied it from Lego first (8069): *Edit: And from my MOC from 2021:

Yeah ok, but still if the amount of models each rises (2026 we have 25 models) and only 1 or 2 of them is really good, the ratio is still very bad. Considering years like 2016 there is no competition. So maybe in 2027 we finally will get our long awaited models: - Backhoe - Grader - Tractor/Trailor/Attachments - Harvester - Dump Truck *Please let a man dream...

Didn't want to open a new thread, so here we go with the question I have in mind: Will Lego Technic redeem itself in 2027? As the 2026 line-up of TSFKAT (The Series Formerly Known As Technic) completely goes for cars, my last hope is that the Designers saved model ideas for next years 50th anniversary. This could also be tied together with new electronics system introduced. Also one idea: Could it be, that designer just bowed down to management and then jokingly decided to do just cars and see how well they will selI? I know this is a billion-dollar company. But still I can't believe that all in the Technic designer team suddenly became Car-Guys....
